Water District moves towards consolidating water company
At the Indian Wells Valley Water District board meeting on March 11, the Water District board moved forward in learning about the process of consolidating the Dune 3 water mutual company into their service area. Some negotiation and planning still needs to happen before any decision is finalized, but for the moment the board is willing to cautiously move forward in the process. The IWV Water District serves water to IWV residents by pumping water out of the IWV groundwater basin. However, they are not the only ones doing so. Dotted all across IWV are domestic well owners and even a few other public or private organizations resembling a water district. If one of those organizations fails, an obligation still exists to serve water to the people in that region.
