VIDEO. From the Montara Water and Sewer District board meeting 5/20/2021 by Zoom.
All water agencies are announcing 10% voluntary water reduction due to the latest drought.
Senate Bill 6 forces localities to build housing without consideration of water source or allocation.
Why?
Write your Senator Josh Becker.
Senate Bill 6
Senate District 13 consists of the remainder of San Mateo County south of Senate District 11 and northern Santa Clara County, including the sister cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale. This district keeps the San Mateo coastline from Pacifica to the Ano Nuevo State Reserve and peninsula cities from South San Francisco to Sunnyvale together. South San Francisco is the only city split to achieve population equality.

Thanks, Ric. It isn’t popular, even taboo in some glassy-eyed circles, to bring up the undeniable negative consequences of over-population, especially where the natural resources of our finite planet are concerned. In terms of freshwater sustainability, California has been grossly out of balance for at least 70 years and probably more than 100. No amount of short-term cutbacks, wishful thinking, or praying to the water gods can change the facts one iota.
