In a recent resolution, the SGPWA Board of Directors underscored critical water supply needs in California — including fire response, water storage, and groundwater recharge.
The resolution expressed the Board’s support for two Executive Orders: President Donald Trump’s Order freeing up water to Southern California and Governor Gavin Newsom’s Order enabling water agencies throughout California to maximize the diversion and storage of excess storm flows.
Through backing these Executive Orders, SGPWA hopes to achieve significant goals for the Pass area, including:
💧Addressing the SWP’s aging infrastructure and California’s lack of water storage relative to its supply
💧Ensuring less water is lost to environmental flows to the ocean
💧Stronger fire response infrastructure due to the Pass area’s risk of wildfires in the future
