The recently approved Sites Reservoir Project with its 850,000-acre feet of capacity will be able to serve 2.1 million families, businesses and farms in one year and is located 10 miles west of the historic Colusa town of Maxwell, west of Sacramento. The benefits of the Sites Reservoir Project reportedly outweigh the costs by a wide margin. - photo by Photo Contributed
Lame duck congressman Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) is seeing his efforts pay off in bringing Washington D.C.
