MCWRA addresses proposed permanent water conservation
On December 14, 2016, Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) sent a response to the State Water Resources Control Board’s (SWRCB) release of the 72-page Pubic Review Draft report that proposes permanent water conservation measures.
John Kingsbury, MCWRA Executive Director: This regulatory approach is of significant concern as it represents a fundamental shift of local control to a permanent regulatory conservation framework that is inequitable to this region. These measures will erode land use, water rights, adversely affect wildlife habitat, recreation, tourism, our economies and the quality of life people enjoy in this region. The Public Review Draft is indisputably regulatory overreach, infeasible, cost prohibitive, and destined for failure.
