City of Clearlake Wins Suit Against Highlands Mutual Water Company

The city of Clearlake has won its lawsuit against Highlands Mutual Water Company. Judge J. David Markham rules that Highlands must hold a new board election and release more information abouts its operations. The city of Clearlake filed the suit in June seeking more information regarding Highland’s annual shareholder meeting in which its board rather than the Clearlake City Council, which held a majority of proxy votes, was elected. Judge Markham has ordered that Highland must hold a new election within the next 45 days.
