Raisin City Water District Reorganization

The Raisin City Water District Reorganization project involves the expansion of the district's service area through the annexation of approximately 55,543 acres of primarily agricultural land located in the unincorporated area of Fresno County, California. The territory is generally bounded by the San Joaquin River to the north. The primary objective of this reorganization is to enable the Raisin City Water District to provide active services to the annexed territory, specifically focusing on representation, advocacy, and information services regarding water rights, statewide water policy, legislation, and other critical issues affecting local agricultural irrigation. The project is overseen by the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission, acting as the lead agency. It has been determined that the annexation will not have a significant effect on the environment, granting it an exemption under the Public Resources Code. Administrative details include a county documentary handling fee of 50.00 dollars paid via credit card. Key personnel associated with the project include Randy Hopkins, serving as the Manager-Engineer, and Jessica Gibson, serving as the Analyst.
