PVP Democrats Monthly Meeting

The PV Democrats will he holding our monthly meeting on Sunday, September 15 in the Community Room at the Peninsula Center Library. Please come early–we gather at 2 pm to socialize with like-minded democrats.

Which Water Will You Drink – Desalinated or Potable Reuse from Waste Water and/or Treated Brackish Water? is the theme for our October 13th meeting, where we will hear from both sides of the desalination debate.

Conner Everts, co-chair of the Desal Response Group, is the facilitator of the Environmental Water Caucus, executive director of the Southern California Watershed Alliance, and chair of Public Officials for Water and Environmental Reform (POWER). Conner was elected to the Casitas Municipal Water District and was president of the Ojai Basin Management Ground Water Agency. Currently he is a member of the Mound Groundwater Sustainability Agency.  Mr. Everts was convener of the California Urban Water Conservation Council and on the state task forces on TMDLs, Desalination, and the SWRCB recycled water stakeholder process and the Direct Potable Reuse Advisory group. But his most important work is as elder advisor to the Environmental Justice Coalition for Water.

E.J. Caldwell, West Basin’s Water Policy and Resources Development Manager, will speak on the Final Environmental Impact Report West Basin is generating in support of the desalination plant in the South Bay.

Also RPV City Council candidates Dave Emenhiser and Steve Perestam will talk about the upcoming election.
