Possible Annexation of Area West of Highway 99
Several landowners requested Omochumne Hartnell Water District examine the possibility of annexation of land west of Highway 99, south of the City of Elk Grove’s Sphere of influence to the Cosumnes River and over to Interstate 5, to better represent the agricultural interest in the area. The area is currently represented by the Sacramento Central Groundwater Authority (SCGA) and Sacramento County who are Groundwater Sustainability Agencies. Click here for more information
Omochumne-Hartnell Water District (OHWD) was established in 1953 and has historically purchased and managed supplemental water from the Central Valley Project for the benefit of District agricultural users adjacent to the Cosumnes River and Deer Creek. In recent years, OHWD became a Groundwater Sustainability Agency within the boundaries of the District and worked cooperatively with SCGA and the County to develop the Groundwater Sustainability Plan in both subbasins adjacent to the Cosumnes River. OHWD has implemented several groundwater recharge projects along the Cosumnes and continues to operate 4 flashboard dams in the Cosumnes to promote groundwater recharge.
