Osborne passes away; El Dorado Irrigation District details infrastructure history
What happened
George W. Osborne has passed away after serving on the El Dorado Irrigation District board of directors for more than two decades. During his tenure, the district completed several major infrastructure projects, including the transfer of the Sly Park Unit and the Pleasant Oak Main replacement project. The Caldor Fire caused over $29 million in damage to the El Dorado Canal flume system.

Why it matters
Osborne's service coincided with critical infrastructure work for the district, such as the Forebay Dam Modification, which helped maintain water operations during the 2021 Caldor Fire. The district is currently working on the Sly Park Intertie to add redundancy and replace aging infrastructure.
