Passionate Perseverance for Sustainable Water Solutions
The Salinas Valley Water Coalition (SVWC) is dedicated to ensuring sustainable and equitable water management for our community. We are pleased to announce our strong support for the proposed amendment to Monterey County Code Chapter 10.72 regarding Desalination Treatment Facilities, which will be discussed at the Board of Supervisors meeting on June 7, 2022.
Key Highlights
Support for Amendment:
- The SVWC backs the proposed changes to Chapter 10.72.030 (B), which will allow non-regulated private entities to participate in the construction and operation of desalination facilities.
- This amendment removes the requirement that desalination facilities must be owned and operated by a public entity, fostering innovation and partnerships.
Framework and Protections:
- The existing Chapter 10.72 framework will remain intact, ensuring protection for current water quality and quantity resources.
- These robust protections also safeguard the water rights of existing landowners.
Why This Matters:
The proposed amendment is a critical step towards sustainable water management in Monterey County. By enabling private sector participation, we can leverage new technologies and investments to address our community’s water needs effectively.
Our Commitment:
The SVWC remains committed to advocating for policies and amendments that promote the right solutions for our community’s water challenges. Our perseverance in supporting these changes reflects our unwavering dedication to doing what is right for Monterey County.
