The California Supreme Court has refused a request by PG&E to review a lower court decision the for-profit utility wanted overturned to derail South San Joaquin Irrigation District’s eminent domain efforts. The high court’s decision not to review the case means SSJID can proceed with its legal efforts to force a sale of the PG&E system serving Manteca, Lathrop & Ripon in the irrigation district’s bid to reduce retail power rates at least 15 percent across the board for the three communities and surrounding farms.
