TUD response to TuCare (Melinda Fleming)
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns on behalf of TuCARE. This response herein is meant to address several points your letter brings forward.
First, I wholeheartedly agree that water is a most precious resource. TuCARE has certainly championed the wise use of public lands for multiple benefits including meadows as working landscapes for grazing and water sequestration alike. I am 100% in alignment with the fact that water is life and the basis for livelihoods. Unfortunately, our county has struggled far too long with unperfected County of Origin water rights, relying instead on a water contract with PG&E.

Sonora, CA TuCare Executive Director Melinda Fleming recently wrote a myMotherLode.com blog critical of recent TUD Board actions, and Board President Barbara Balen is responding to the concerns.
Fleming was critical of statements made by three board members, Balen, Lisa Murphy and Ron Ringen, in relation to water supply, and voiced displeasure about the dismissal of General Manager Ed Pattsion. Fleming also argued that if TUD considers suspending new water hookups, it would have a detrimental impact on the economy and housing. You can read Fleming’s blog here. TuCare is the acronym for Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources and the Environment. It is backed by many local agriculture, timber industry and business leaders.
