Background Information:
The Proberta Water District (District) was formed in 1956 and provides water service to approximately 2,900 acres and is primarily used for irrigation purposes. Water is supplied from the Corning Canal. The territory proposed for detachment consists of three parcels totaling approximately 7.25 acres, located in the central portion of the District (see Table 1 and Figure 1 below). The parcels are in the unincorporated area of Tehama County, have a land use designation of Valley Floor Agriculture, and contain existing residential structures. They are not currently used for active agricultural production. The parcels are situated on relatively flat agricultural land, with Flores Avenue to the north, Oat Creek to the south, Interstate 5 to the east, and the Corning Canal to the west. The applicants are requesting detachment because each parcel is served by a private well and does not rely on District water service.
