WaterSmart Applauds the Passage of CA Proposition 1, The State Water Bond

San Francisco, CA – WaterSmart CEO Robin Gilthorpe made the following statement today regarding the passage of the CA State Water Bond:

California voters have sent a clear message yesterday that they support wise investments in much needed water supply and drinking water projects. The $7.5 billion in state bonds authorized by Prop 1 will be used for fiscally and environmentally responsible water projects across the state. These projects will tackle both short-term challenges of the on-going drought and long-term issues regarding our water infrastructure.

Coupled with ambitious conservation and behavioral water efficiency programs, as outlined in the updated State Water Plan, the passage of Prop 1 supports reasonable long-term solutions that ensure California will have safe supplies of water for urban and rural use for years to come.
