Senator Cogdill of Modesto today issued the following statement about the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) report on the most beneficial way to meet California’s need for a reliable water source and at the same time protect the delicate Delta ecosystem:
“Nothing is more important to the future of California than a reliable water supply. Whether you are a farmer, a business or a home owner, you expect there to be water when you turn on the tap.
“Clearly the PPIC looked carefully at the many complex issues facing California with regard to long term water delivery solutions. At the end of the day, California must have a comprehensive solution that takes delivery, storage and the environment into consideration.
“The need for responsible water policy goes beyond partisan politics. I hope this thoughtful examination by PPIC of this issue will encourage lawmakers to avoid a piece meal solution and instead take action on this crisis sooner rather than later.”
Senator Cogdill has been working with the Governor, legislators and multiple stakeholders on a
comprehensive legislative plan to improve California’s water infrastructure.
Senator Cogdill proudly represents part or all of the counties of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne.
