A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO,
CALIFORNIA, IN SUPPORT OF SAWPA PLAN
Whereas, a safe, clean and reliable water supply is critical to California's
economic and environmental future; and
Whereas, California's dependence on imported water supplies threatens both
the economy and the environment, especially during times of drought; California should
pursue new and innovative methods to become more water self sufficient by increasing
water storage and utilizing that water during times of drought; and
Whereas, the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority ("SWAPA") has developed
programs for underground water storage and environmental restoration in the Southern
California region that is home to nearly twenty-five (25%) percent of the State's
population. These programs will increase the water supply so the region will be
completely self sufficient during droughts, improve the quality and safety of the water
supply, restore habitat for native species, provide flood control, and create new
wetlands and open space in the region.
Whereas, the CALIFORNIA Legislature and the Governor should assure safe,
clean and reliable water is a priority for California by placing a water bond measure on
the March 2000 ballot that provides significant funding for the SAWPA programs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of San Jacinto supports the
NOW SAWPA Program and calls upon the Legislature and the Governor to place a water
bond on the Year 2000 ballot and provide funding for the SAWPA plan.
