A federal vote this week could lead to more water stored in California reservoirs south of the delta, as well as a future Sites Reservoir. The plan would be to allow more water to flow into storage after big storms in the winter. The U.S. House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 612 on Thursday, with a vote of 360-61. Both Congressmen John Garamendi (D-Walnut Grove) and Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) were in favor. A vote in the Senate could come as soon as Friday, unless there is a procedural delay.
