One year ago, we celebrated the completion of the Kenneson & Sanchez Recharge Basins with a ribbon cutting ceremony. At 47-acres in size, these basins recharge an average of 960 AF/yr, helping provide a reliable groundwater supply for nearby growers, residents, and businesses.

@CityofFresno @CityofClovisCA These efforts build water supplies for dry years and ensure long-term groundwater access for growers, rural residents, schools, and more. Learn more about our recharge efforts: https://t.co/u1g5v3NfGx

Since 2005 FID has recharged 840,000 AF of water–enough to fill Millerton Lake more than 1.5 times. Through 37 basins totaling 980 acres & basins through partnerships w/ @CityofFresno @CityofClovisCA & Fresno Metro Flood Control, FID captures & stores water in wet years.

[California Special Districts Association @CSDAdistricts]

Thank you, Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, for taking the time to meet with the special districts that keep Central California’s urban and rural communities running—providing vital services like water, sewer, fire protection, mosquito abatement, and resource conservation. Open communication and dialogue like this help us build a stronger, shared vision for the future.

#Throwback to 1947, when Pine Flat Dam broke ground. Built for flood control, it became a critical water storage facility for irrigation districts. FID and fellow Kings River Water Association members played a key role in advancing the project, securing support from @USACEHQ.
