Public Water Education from the Association of California Water Agencies
The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA)today announced their new statewide public education program, entitled "California's Water: A Crisis We Can't Ignore," to educate Californians about critical challenges now confronting the state's water supply and delivery system.
"We are facing some of the most significant challenges to our water system in a half-century, yet the public is largely unaware of it," said Timothy Quinn, executive director of the Association of California Water Agencies, which represents nearly all of the state's water agencies. "Just two weeks ago, a federal court ordered a massive reduction in our statewide water supply - potentially one of the largest court-ordered reductions in California history. This crisis isn't coming; it is here and now."
"It's clear that Californians are largely unaware of the crisis at hand," added Quinn. "This program is aimed at changing that. Californians need to know that these problems could affect water supplies in nearly every region of the state in the coming months and years."
"As public agencies responsible for delivering water on a daily basis, we have an obligation to inform our customers of issues that could affect their water supplies," added Quinn, as reported by PR Newswire and published by KOTA News.
