RESOLUTION NO. 5184
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
SUPPORTING THE GOVERNOR'S WATER PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Southern California is dependent upon imported water for more
than half of its supply in normal years and will become increasingly dependent
upon imported water in the future; and
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Water District's share of Colorado River water
will be cut by more than one-half beginning in 1985, thus creating a potential
shortage for those areas served by The Metropolitan Water District, including
the City of Arcadia; and
WHEREAS, the only other source of imported water for the City of Arcadia
and other areas of the South Coastal Plain is provided by the State Water
Project which transfers water from the Sacramento River and Delta; and
WHEREAS, the amount of water ava il ab le from the State Water Project
under present conditions is much less than will be needed in the future; and
WHEREAS, the present Administration has worked diligently to develop a
legislative program to supply more water for Southern And Central California
and to provide adequate environmental protection for the areas of origin; and
WHEREAS, as a result of such diligence, the Governor and the Department
of Water Resources have caused to be enacted a group of water bills, the most
important of which is SB-1369, which provides for water transfer facilities in
the Delta, and have by means of these bills set out a water program to address
California's future water needs; and
WHEREAS, it appears to this City Council that the Governor's water
program is a reasonable and cost-effective means of resolving many of our
water problems in California, while protecting the environment;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Arcadia that is supports the Governor's water leg i sl at ive program and urges
its adoption.
