No Searles water shut-off yet, threat compared to holding gun to SVM

Ridgecrest Daily Independent Searles Valley Minerals will not have water service shut off for non-payment of fees . at least not yet. An Indian Wells Valley Groundwater Authority special hearing Thursday on SVM s failure to pay the $2,130 per acre-foot replenishment fee was continued to the authority s June regular meeting so the GA could investigate SVM’s claim that cutting the company’s water supply would take down service to every house, business and school in Trona as collateral damage. If you cut off the water supply to Searles, two things will happen. One is Searles will go out of business, said Jeff Dunn, special counsel to SVM. And if it goes out of business it will never be able to pay your replenishment assessment.
