August 2, 2022- Colorado River Drought
On August 2, 2022, I attended the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Region 10 conference held at the OMWD Board room. The keynote speaker presented how the drought is impacting the Colorado River basin and its impact on Southern California water supplies. The facts are humbling, highlighting our need to conserve, promote recycled water and water reuse and develop fiscally and environmentally responsible local water supplies. I would be grateful for your consideration and vote in this upcoming election to help lead OMWD in those efforts.

May 18, 2022-Board Meeting
Among other items, the Board approved engineering contracts for important maintenance projects at the McCollom Water Treatment Plant to ensure water reliability and safety. The Board also approved a contract to rehabilitate energy-producing turbines providing green energy to our energy grid. OMWD staff also presented insurance renewal information, advising that premium quotes for liability and property insurance shot up 30%, and the Cyber liability premium skyrocketed by 138%. Having no other premium options available, the Board accepted the quotes for the 2023 fiscal year. However, the Board directed staff to obtain quotes from other insurance options, including public risk pools used by many other local water agencies.
