Impartial Analysis from the District General Counsel

Byron Bethany Irrigation District is a California Irrigation District formed under the California Water Code sections 20500 et seq. to provide water service for agricultural and municipal and industrial purposes to lands located within its boundaries. Byron Bethany Irrigation District as originally formed includes lands located in San Joaquin, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties.

On August 12, 2004, Byron Bethany Irrigation District consolidated with the former Plain View Water District, an adjacent district located solely within San Joaquin County. With the consolidation of the two districts into one, nine divisions were formed and the two boards of directors from Byron Bethany Irrigation District and Plain View Water District were merged into nine member board of directors. A separate member of the board of directors represents each of the nine divisions.

This measure would reduce the number of divisions within Byron Bethany Irrigation District to seven. If approved, Byron Bethany Irrigation District would re-divide the district into seven divisions and members of the board directors would be elected for each of the newly formed divisions at the general election to be held on November 2, 2010.

This measure would reduce annual expenses to the district by approximately $48,000.00
