A Regional Approach to Safeguard Water Resources
From January through March 2008, the team of experts that prepared the conceptual plan made presentations to many city councils throughout the area. Throughout the remainder of the year, Regional Water Project presentations will be made to non-profit environmental organizations; business and economic development groups; land-use planning organizations; water advocacy groups; government agencies (city, county and state); agricultural organizations; educational institutions; taxpayer groups; unions; and community-based clubs. To request a speaker to engage your group in a discussion about the Regional Water Project, write to info@mcwd.org. At upcoming community presentations, members of the public will be invited to submit their opinions and ideas. Public input along with comments via email will be summarized and reviewed at the planning meetings. |
"By focusing on a regional program, the Regional Water Project has produced a brilliant & quite elegant proposal— it is significantly less expensive than alternative proposals, environmentally friendly and physically feasible to build in phases in much less time (years vs. decades) ... than the Coastal Water Project desal plant proposed at Moss Landing!" — Tom Rowley, Vice President,Monterey Peninsula Taxpayers Association |
Through community dialogues, the public has an opportunity to learn about
the planning and proposed solution to the water shortage. The public
is invited to voice their concerns and learn the various aspects
of the Regional Water Project plan.
