Work has begun on a new water treatment plant in Big Valley. The Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians held a groundbreaking Ceremony at the Tribal Site located at 1135 Soda Bay Road at the end of November. Funding for the just over $7 million dollar project is coming from several donors including USDA, USEPA, Bureau of Reclamation, and Indian Health Service. Once completed, the new system will support Tribal water needs for housing and economic development in the coming 30 years and beyond
