Should ranchers with agricultural wells be allowed to sell their water? What if it’s being trucked away to irrigate an illegal crop? Is it fair to stop the transport of water on certain roads if it negatively impacts, for the most part, a specific group of people?
These are the questions that hundreds of protesters were asking when they occupied a block of Yreka’s Fourth Street on Thursday morning. A majority of the protesters were of Asian descent and advocated for their right to water. Many asserted that the county’s latest ordinance, which prohibits water trucks on specific roads and highways, unfairly impacts Asian Americans living and farming in Siskiyou County.

YREKA, Calif Residents in northern California rallied outside of Yreka City Hall Thursday to protest the County’s new ordinance aimed at curtailing illegal marijuana grow.
On Tuesday, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors amended Chapter 4 of Title 3 – adding restrictions on water trucks using specific County highways.
The restrictions largely target streets in the unincorporated communities of Butte Valley and Big Springs.
According to the Article, a Water Truck is defined as a vehicle designed or used to carry about 100 gallons of water. The new ordinance prohibits the Trucks from carrying the water in the communities.
Penalties carry a misdemeanor charge and a $100 fine.
