Losing local control
May 13, 2019
You may have heard by now that the state of California has approved legislation that mandates permanent, statewide water conservation. This is another successful effort by state government to wrest control of precious water resources from local water districts. The loss of local control is a loss of cost containment, a loss of personal freedom and a reduction in quality of life.
….Unfortunately, the Legislature is misguided to think that the state is better equipped and positioned to operate a community water system rather than our local water districts. This state position is inaccurate and should be intolerable to the water ratepayers in this region.
