AGSA Eligibility Determination

Provide a description of your local agency's water supply, water management, or land use responsibilities within the groundwater basin / basins you intend to manage.
The Westside District Water Authority Groundwater Sustainability Agency is being formed by the Westside District Water Authority, a joint powers authority made up of the following local agencies: Belridge Water Storage District; Berrenda Mesa Water District; and Lost Hills Water District. Each of these local agencies has water supply and water management responsibilities within their respective boundaries. Because each of its members is a "local agency," as that term is defined by Water Code section 10721, subdivision (n), the Westside District Water Authority, as a combination of local agencies, is eligible to form a groundwater sustainability agency. (see Wat. Code, � 10723.)
Are you an "exclusive local agency" listed in Water Code �10723(c)?
No
