Service Continuity

Kenneth Van Gorder, the current owner, has been in jail for three years. His father and sister had been trying to run the company until Jay Gardner, et al. took over this February. Mr. Van Gorder has never lived in the service territory and his father and sister live in Napa, approximately 10 miles away. Jay Gardner and Pam Simonson own a home in the service territory and have lived there for over 20 years. Matt and Jewell Fullner have recently purchased a home in the service territory. The buyers clearly have a vested interest in the future of the water system.

Kenneth Van Gorder's sales agreement with Jay Gardner, et al., ensures an orderly water system ownership transition and offers continued water service by a responsible new owner.
