California Water Action Plan Public Meeting on 1/30/14

 

DSRSD President Geogean Vonheeder-Leopold and I brainstormed and collaborated to put this workshop in motion. We are so pleased that all of the agencies in the Tri-Valley decided to join us in co-hosting this timely and important public event. I hope that you will be able to join us.

 

 

Water is one of the most important public policy issues of 2014. The Tri-Valley’s water providers and cities have invited California Natural Resources Secretary John Laird to brief local civic, business, and community leaders on the California Water Action Plan, which addresses the state’s most pressing water issues and lays a foundation for sustainable management of our limited water resources. The plan is available online at http://resources.ca.gov/california_water_action_plan.



Secretary Laird’s presentation will be held at 6 p.m. on January 30, 2014, in the Dublin City Council Chamber at 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, and includes time for questions from the audience. The event is open to the public and will be recorded for later broadcast on Tri-Valley Community Television.



Implementing the California Water Action Plan will require close coordination and collaboration across all levels of government, business, agriculture, and the public. The plan outlines many actions that affect the Tri-Valley: water conservation, increased local and regional self-sufficiency, increased water storage, flood protection, and ecosystem restoration. An important component is the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, which strives to achieve the co-equal goals of water supply reliability and ecosystem restoration.



Please join us on January 30^th to learn more about the challenges and opportunities affecting our local water supply.  Seating is limited for this event. If you are an elected official, please let us know you are planning to attend so we can introduce you at the meeting. Contact Sue Stephenson, Community Affairs Supervisor at Dublin San Ramon Services District, at 925-875-2295 or stephenson@dsrsd.com.
