This Affordable California Town Is So Charming It’s Hard To Believe More People Don’t Know About It

The tap water in one tiny mountain town carries its own official bragging rights. Locals call their hometown the Home of the Best Water on Earth, and they mean it. That water starts as snowmelt on a famous volcano. It filters through layers of lava rock before it ever reaches a kitchen sink. I appreciate a town that turns its plumbing into a point of pride.

PG&E warns of new power shutoffs in 7 Northern CA counties. See areas at risk

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is warning that more than 600 customers in seven Northern California counties could lose electricity beginning Friday evening as strong, dry winds raise wildfire concerns, less than a week after widespread shutoffs left tens of thousands without power. The potential public safety power shutoffs could affect 644 customers in portions of Butte, Lake, Napa, Shasta, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties, according to PG&E’s latest estimates. But the possible outages are narrowly targeted, with the utility’s maps showing small, scattered areas in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and remote sections of the Coast Ranges. In Butte County, possible shutoffs are concentrated east of Paradise and Magalia, around the Concow area. In Shasta County, the areas under consideration follow portions of the Highway 299 corridor near Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek. Closer to Sacramento, only small pockets of western Yolo County and Solano County near the Napa County line are at risk. The maps do not show potential shutoffs in Sacramento, Woodland, Davis or West Sacramento. PG&E placed portions of all seven counties under a PSPS watch for Friday and Saturday, meaning outages were considered likely because of forecast high winds and dry conditions. The utility said

Homeowners battle Redding over flood ditch costs

Residents of a Redding neighborhood want the city to include in its winter storm preparations the cost of clearing and maintaining the Henderson Ditch, while city officials maintain the drainage is on private property and is the landowners' responsibility. The disagreement comes after heavy storms caused the drainage ditch to overflow last December . The sand, trash and debris-filled ditch — which empties into the Sacramento River near the Nur Pon Open Space — caused an estimated $700,000 in damages to seven homes in the Rother Riverside neighborhood, including her own, said resident Cathy Borgel. The neighborhood flanks Henderson Road west of Bechelli Lane, east of the Sacramento River. While the city required the ditch to be cleared out as a public safety measure, it’s not willing to foot the estimated $2,000 cleaning bill. Nor is it willing to take on the annual cost of maintaining it, the public works department said in a letter received by Borgel on Monday, Oct. 26. People whose property includes parts of the Henderson Ditch will have to pay for annual cleanup and maintenance, the city said in the letter. “I am fuming,” Borgel told the Record Searchlight on Monday. “Everyone has looked at
