Barry Moline, executive director of the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), said the following about the Governor’s newest drought-related directives.
Drought is here and is impacting every facet of our state’s economy and environment. CMUA member agencies, which collectively provide water service to nearly 75% of California, are taking action to address the needs of their communities. We appreciate the Governor’s tailored approach, including his call at this time for a voluntary water use reduction rather than an across-the-board mandate. CMUA looks forward to working with Governor Newsom and his Administration to ensure safe and reliable water supplies throughout the state.
