The Marin Municipal Water District has agreed to purchase a 4.5-acre lot in Novato from Navin LLC for $4.8 million to develop a pump station for the atmospheric river capture project. This initiative aims to build a 13-mile pipeline to replenish reservoirs with Sonoma County rainwater during droughts, potentially delivering up to 3,800 acre-feet of water annually. The property purchase will proceed following environmental impact report clearance, with public outreach commencing in February and scoping meetings scheduled for March.
