Bill Green has consistently represented the best interests of South Coast Water Board customers and he is running for re-election.

Seventy percent of those customers surveyed support a water desalination plant and Bill has provided leadership as a strong advocate.

A secure source of water is critical to Dana Point’s future. Currently Dana Point’s water supply comes from Northern California, the Colorado River and a local well.

The majority of our water supply would be at risk if Northern California experienced a major earthquake damaging our supply pipelines. Our seven-day water reserve is not sufficient to complete repairs before we would face a water shortage crisis. Additionally, local wells are depleted during an extended drought and even if available, the cost of replacement imported water would be extremely expensive.

We support a water desalination treatment plant as a prudent course of action and recommend the re-election of Bill Green to the South Coast Water Board.
