With a wide patchwork of water systems servicing residents across California, there have been ongoing efforts by the Legislature to encourage the consolidation of smaller water systems to take advantage of scale economies and improve system reliability and compliance with drinking water standards.
To gain insight into the evolving landscape as these changes are being implemented, please join us on March 23, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. PT for a complimentary webinar, “Taking the Plunge: Lessons Learned from Water System Consolidations.” Also joining our Nossaman panel will be special guest Caitlin Juarez, Water Partnerships Coordinator at the State Water Resources Control Board.
Specific topics covered will include:
- California Water Providers and the role of water system consolidations;
- Consolidation challenges following wildfires and other potential issues;
- Local Agency Formation Commissions’ (LAFCO) key role in regional water planning; and
- The State Water Resources Control Board’s authority and activities in water system consolidation programs.
We invite you to submit your questions for our panel during registration so we can address your concerns during the session.
