BIG BASIN — After years of unreliable service, code violations and failures to respond to regional authorities in a timely manner, the California Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water says it has engaged the Office of Enforcement to begin the process of pursuing a receivership for Big Basin Water Co.

State authorities say they have discussed their plans with Big Basin Water, but the company’s Chief Operator Damian Moore remains skeptical of how useful an appointed receiver could be. That was before the CZU Lightning Complex Fire, which devastated portions of the Big Basin system, leaving it with only one well source for the 547 customers that it now serves.Boulder Creek residents who have endured multiple water outages and boil water orders in the fire’s aftermath, along with reports of black filters and taps that have spewed brown water.
Rick Rogers, district manager for the San Lorenzo Valley Water District, told the Sentinel that the public utility has explored consolidation with Big Basin Water on several occasions, including in recent months. But the district estimated that it would cost about $40 million to complete Big Basin’s system repairs to bring it back into compliance; a figure it considers untenable without outside funding.
