The Local Agency Formation Commission, which oversees public water districts, unanimously decided that Sativa L.A. County Water District should cease to exist due to mounting allegations of poor maintenance, financial malfeasance and lack of transparency. The county’s Department of Public Works, which had been appointed to manage Sativa on an interim basis after the state took it over last year, will assume full control of the district.
