Pesci stepped down after officially ending his role with the agency on Jan. 16. Before his resignation, Pesci was one of the directors on the newly formed water board that governs the reorganized Newhall County Water District and the Castaic Lake Water Agency.
“The main item last night was the vacancy left by Bill Pesci,” said Kathie Martin, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency. “The board considered a few options and decided to leave the spot vacant, which helps meet our goal to reducing the board size to nine members.”
Pesci left the position because he plans to move out of the area, Martin said. Because there are no plans to fill the board director position he vacated, the water supplier will save money on board expenses.
After bill SB 634 was passed, repealing the Castaic Lake Water Agency Law, a new water agency was made from the merging of several Santa Clarita water providers to provide, sell, manage, and deliver surface water, groundwater and recycled water at retail or wholesale within the agency’s territory, according to water officials.
Senator Scott Wilk penned the bill to re-shape water distribution and retail in Santa Clarita Valley to create a valleywide water agency.
Wilk was described as the driving force behind SB 634 and supportive of Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency transition efforts.
