Celia Dangelo??
Lets stick to the facts I mean we are reporting the news correct? Lombardi’s shut their doors due to the city cut back their appropriate water they needed to grow pumpkins ,corn & ETC. The city wants their land. Lombardi’s has been a tradition for decades and long before there was even a thought of “Santa Clarita “It’s a shame how SCV pushes the Mom and Pop places out because that’s what made this town great.
Since you said “facts” …. Lombardi Ranch is not in the city of Santa Clarita, the city does not want (and can’t have) its land, and the city does not control its water or anyone’s water.
What I don’t understand is, if there isn’t enough water for the ranch, why is there water for the many new homes they are building, in the thousands all throughout Santa Clarita?
It’s not availability, it’s cost. The property owner pays for the water line. It would be tremendously expensive (for Lombardi) to bring a water line from a public water utility all the way to Lombardi. The end of the line is far away from Lombardi. As for hookups to new construction, the new construction (ultimately the future homeowners) pay for it. Cost is the sole reason for not running a line to Lombardi. (Lombardi is on wells; Bouquet dried up because of the manner in which the federal government altered the management of the stream upriver to protect an endangered fish.) And then of course there’s the cost of the water itself, which is significantly higher than the cost of pumping well water. Farms are typically on wells; they don’t usually buy water from a public utility.
We loved going to Lombardi???….
