FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (FOX26) — Officials are sounding the alarm over an invasive species threatening one of California’s key water systems.

Golden mussels, first detected in the Friant-Kern Canal two months ago, are rapidly multiplying and could disrupt water delivery to farms and communities in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

The Friant Water Authority held a board meeting Thursday to address the infestation and outline next steps.

The board voted to hire a consultant to develop a comprehensive control plan, though any treatment would require permits and could take several months.
