RESOLUTION NO. 2010-05

 

A Resolution of the Board of Directors

of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District

in Support of the Safe, Clean and Reliable

Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010

 

            WHEREAS, California’s water system is facing a growing list of challenges associated with aging infrastructure, ecological problems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, climate change, population growth and other factors; and

 

            WHEREAS, these challenges are eroding the reliability of the state’s water supplies, impairing the ability of local water agencies to deliver reliable water to their urban and agricultural customers and adversely affecting the Delta ecosystem; and

 

            WHEREAS, it is widely recognized that a comprehensive approach is needed to address those challenges and improve both water supply reliability and ecosystem health in the Delta; and

 

            WHEREAS, the Legislature has approved the Safe, Clean and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 for the November 2010 ballot to provide that comprehensive approach; and

 

            WHEREAS, if approved by voters, the measure would provide $11.14 billion in funding for projects and programs throughout the state to increase water supply reliability, address ecological problems in the Delta, add operational flexibility to the state’s water storage and delivery system and expand water recycling and conservation; and

 

            WHEREAS, if approved by voters, the measure will provide $58 million for water supply reliability programs and projects in the Central Coast Hydrologic Region, which includes the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District; and

 

            WHEREAS, if approved by voters, the Central Coast Hydrologic Region will be eligible for a share of $6.38 billion in other regional and statewide funding for water management programs and projects; and

 

            WHEREAS, without these investments in the state’s water infrastructure and local resource development programs, California’s water supply reliability will continue to erode and put more jobs and local economies at risk;

 

 

 

 

 

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District formally supports the Safe, Clean and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 on the November ballot.
