THE WHOLE STORY...
A Busy 2009 On Tap

The Water District’s Board of Directors, which meets monthly, has set aggressive goals for 2009. In addition to maintaining our current level of financial reserves, our plans include:

• Replenishing the San Gabriel Basin’s water supply as much as possible – we expect to deliver 4,320 acre-feet from the State Water Project this year

• Studying alterfnate sources of replenishment water including recycled water for groundwater recharge (through partnership with Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District) and recycled water for direct use in Monterey Park and Alhambra (through partnership with Central Basin)
• Expanding our school/youth outreach and education programs to include both H₂Owl mascot appearances and student/parent water conservation home audits

Additional priorities for the Water District include:

• Partnering with Azusa to study the feasibility of expanding our hydroelectric generation capability
• Expanding our appliance rebate program to include high efficiency clothes washers
• Implementing a variety of water-saving pilot programs for residences, heavy water-using businesses and employers, and government locations
