IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 44
WHEREAS, an adequate supply of good quality water is essential to the
health and safety of California's ever growing population; and,
WHEREAS, adequate supplies of good quality water are vital to the
maintenance and development of the State's economy; particularly
California's two largest industries, tourism and agriculture, generating $45
billion in annual revenue for California; and,
WHEREAS, locally sponsored water conservation, groundwater
recharge, and drainage projects are among the most cost effective ways to
help insure adequate supplies of good quality water; and,
WHEREAS, in 1984, the California electorate approved a Clean Water
Bond Act which provided $10 million for low interest loans to water agencies
for water conservation projects; and,
WHEREAS, application for those loans exceeded available funds by nine
times, demonstrating the need for such a program; and,
WHEREAS, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Control Bond
Act, Proposition 44, on the June ballot would provide $150 million for loans
to water agencies for water conservation, groundwater recharge, and
drainage projects; and,
WHEREAS; Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Act, Proposition
44, would be an extremely cost effective measure for Califorians, costing an
average of 37 cents per household annually; and,

significant help in developing locally sponsored water conservation,
drainage, and groundwater recharge projects.
