Biggs-West Gridley Water District (BWGWD) is a California Water District responsible for providing irrigation water to agricultural water users within its service area and was formed by a vote of landowners on September 24, 1942. Petitions for the formation of the district had been signed by landowners and presented at the Butte County Board of Supervisors chamber in connection with a hearing earlier that year. Following formation, an election was held on December 21, 1942 to determine whether or not to issue bonds to provide revenue for the beginning of operations. More than half of the eligible voters participated in the election, unanimously voting in favor of issuing the bonds, and the district purchased 28% of the Sutter Butte Canal Company’s (SBCC) properties and pre-1914 water rights. The district’s service area and distribution system have been further expanded over the years, and currently encompasses 34,785 acres of land.
