Two water districts in Santa Cruz County the San Lorenzo Valley Water District and the Scotts Valley Water District are considering consolidating their operations, officials announced on Wednesday.
Both districts draw water from the same series of aquifers in the region known as the Santa Margarita Groundwater Basin. They are also connected through a system that allows the districts to share water during an emergency.
Their proximity and shared goals, in addition to staff meeting together regularly, are among reasons representatives believe consolidation may be a good idea.
