In 1957 Biggs-West Gridley Water District (BWGWD), Richvale Irrigation District (RID), Butte Water District (BWD), and Sutter Extension Water District (SEWD) organized to form the Joint Water Districts Board (Joint Districts) to coordinate their efforts in managing joint facilities and senior water rights. In 1969, the Joint Districts entered into a diversion agreement with the State allowing for the diversion of up to 555,000 acre feet from the Feather River at the Thermalito Afterbay during the irrigation season following its construction and the construction of Lake Oroville as part of the State Water Project.
The District’s Board of Directors meet the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am. Agendas are posted at the District 72 hours in advance at the District office, 735 Virginia St., Gridley, CA 95958.
