Thank you to everyone who joined us in Yuba County on Thursday, October 8, for an afternoon and evening focused on the future of water in our region.

Our Regional Roundtable Luncheon brought water professionals, local officials, and industry partners to the table to talk through aging water infrastructure and the challenges and opportunities facing our member agencies. Special thanks to Verdantas for helping lead that conversation.

We closed out the day with our Regional Leaders Reception, where MCWRA members, elected officials, and community leaders connected on the issues affecting our mountain counties and the communities we serve.

Thank you to Congressman James Gallagher for joining us at the reception and spending time with our regional water leaders. We appreciate his continued interest in the issues facing our communities.

And a big thank you to Yuba County and Yuba Water Agency for hosting both events. Days like this are a reminder of how much collaboration, strong partnerships, and a unified voice matter when it comes to protecting the water resources and infrastructure our region depends on.

Thank you to our members, partners, and guests for making it a great day!
