South Sutter Water District, established in 1954, represents over 200 landowners in Sutter and Placer counties, working to develop, store, and distribute surface water to combat groundwater depletion. Their mission is to supply 80,000 acre-feet of water annually through a canal system and natural waterways, such as Yankee Slough and Auburn Ravine.
From the Sierra Foothills to the Sacramento Valley, South Sutter Water District aims to protect and represent the interests of its members by ensuring a sustainable water supply for agricultural needs, reversing the effects of over-pumping groundwater in the region.
