SACRAMENTO, CA – Today Senator Melissa Hurtado (D-Bakersfield) and other California lawmakers responded to the California State Auditor’s report that found the Department of Water Resources (DWR) used faulty and obsolete data in drafting their predictive water models for the state. California lawmakers hope that an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice will shed light on any potential market manipulation and lack of transparency occurring within California's water systems.
