San Gabriel Valley Chambers Support Cadiz
The San Gabriel Valley Legislative Coalition of Chambers has come out in support of the Cadiz Water Project, writing in letters to Southern California water leaders,
In the interest of greater water supply reliability, the Coalition voted unanimously at our most recent meeting to support the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery and Storage Project, which would provide 2.5 million acre-feet of water to Southern California over its 50-year life, serving the needs of 100,000 families each year.
The Coalition urged Three Valleys Municipal Water District, Golden State Water Company and Suburban Water Systems, which serve the San Gabriel Valley and are considering purchasing water from Cadiz, to “negotiate financially prudent contracts, to approve those contracts, and to support the Project through its review by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s Board of Directors.” To the MWD directors, the Coalition wrote:
We also encourage the Board of Directors to MWD to make the arrangements necessary to move this new supply to our region in all due haste, so that we and others throughout Southern California can quickly enjoy the security that will come with the great water supply reliability afforded by the Cadiz project.
The Coalition is the public policy advocacy body for Chambers of Commerce in Arcadia, Azusa, Covina, Duarte, El Monte/South El Monte, Glendora, Irwindale, La Canada Flintridge, La Verne, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Dimas, Sierra Madre and Temple City, and the cities of the San Gabriel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce.
