Water Reform


The Temecula Valley, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore Valley and Wildomar Chambers of Commerce are urging the Governor to call a special session of the California Legislature to finish dealing with California’s crumbling water system.

We cannot afford to wait any longer. After decades of inaction, California’s water system continues to deteriorate. Now is the time to finally bring us into the 21st century by preserving this vital hub that is the conduit for shipping water from the north to our region in Southern California.

California’s water system was built for a population of 18 million. It is now strained to the breaking point and needs to be upgraded for a population of more than 36 million that is expected to reach 50 million. The ecological considerations also are straining the system and are being co-equally considered in legislation that has been introduced at the end of the session.

The need to complete this task is crucial - and lawmakers must reach consensus on funding this historic compromise.
