Kern County Water Agency Responds to the Governors Water Resiliency Portfolio
The Kern County Water Agency (Agency) supports the effort to develop a Water Resiliency Portfolio and will work with the Newsom administration to develop this new approach. “We believe the governor’s new approach will result in the kind of water system improvements necessary to bring California’s aging water infrastructure into the 21st century,” said Agency Board of Directors President Ted Page.
“Kern County’s water supplies from the State Water Project are affected by increased regulation, the threat of earthquakes, and climate change,” said Page. “The Governor’s efforts to address California’s aging water supply system through a comprehensive portfolio approach that includes a one-tunnel delta conveyance project sets us on the right path.”
