The Big Basin Water Company (“BBWC”) was formed in the 1930s. At present, BBWC
provides water and sewer services to approximately 1,680 constituents. BBWC’s water
source consists of one active vertical well, one horizontal well, and three surface water
diversions. LAFCO’s analysis has also determined that BBWC provides sewer service to a small number of homes (29 connections) though two wastewater discharge leach fields. While the privately-owned company has been in existence for almost a century, several significant failures and violations made by BBWC have been discovered in the past two decades. This led to an unprecedented action by the courts to establish a receivership in order to provide better oversight to the company.
