Rick Callender, the CEO of Valley Water, has had his leave of absence extended indefinitely following an investigation into misconduct allegations, including sexual harassment. Initially scheduled to return in early April, the board is continuing to gather information from various complaints made against him. Notably, Callender has denied the allegations and plans to file a retaliation claim against the agency. As the investigation unfolds, Callender is required to participate by making himself available for interviews, challenging the public statements made by board members regarding the nature of the complaints.
