Government agency moves forward with plans to manage Ukiah Valley's groundwater basin

Groundwater regulation in the Ukiah Valley is on its way. Yesterday, the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency, which is in charge of figuring out how to manage the groundwater, had their first meeting of 2021 where they discussed how things are moving along.
