OF SAN JAC°INTO SUPPORTING SENATE BILL 346

stop taking delivery of northern water from the State's Aqueduct on March 1 for
5 the remainder of the calendar year; and
6 WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto fully supports all efforts to eliminate
wasteful uses of water through installation of water-saving devices and through
7 long-range educational campaigns; and
8 WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto fully supports reuse of water, particular-
ly for industrial needs , and more efficient use of groundwater supplies in con-
9 junction with surface deliveries ; and
10 WHEREAS, it appears overwhelmingly clear that early completion of the State,
Water Project, along with construction of additional features of the Federal
11 Central Valley Project, is an immediate and vital necessity; and
i
12 WHEREAS, a key element of this overall program is joint Federal-State con-
struction of the Peripheral Canal around the delta of the Sacramento and San
13 Joaquin rivers ; and
14 WHEREAS, although the Peripheral Canal is and will remain an authorized
facility of the State Water Project and may be constructed by the State alone,
15 whether SB 346 is enacted or not, joint construction and operation with the
Bureau of Reclamation is desirable; and
16
WHEREAS, such a program offers the best hope of meeting the water needs of I
17 not only Southern California but also Central and Northern California in the
years ahead and possibly until the year 2000; and
i
18 WHEREAS, this program is embodied in State Senate Bill 346 which this year
19 received a majority vote in both the Senate and Assembly but failed to obtain thel
necessary two-thirds vote in the upper house; and
0 WHEREAS, this measure is expected to be before the State Legislature for
21 further consideration in January;

hereby endorse Senate Bill 346 as an urgently needed step toward meeting the
23 water problems of the entire State of California; and
