Escrow for the sale of the Fallbrook Public Utility District’s Santa Margarita property closed Dec. 19. “The ownership of the property is now transferred to the Wildlands Conservancy,” FPUD general manager Jack Bebee said.

In the late 1940s, the FPUD board pursued the building of a dam on the Santa Margarita River and p...
