The article discusses two pressing issues concerning the Tri-Valley's water supply and local governance. The general manager of Zone 7 Water Agency supports the Delta Conveyance Project, emphasizing its importance for maintaining reliable water supply amid climate and infrastructure concerns, while also assuring that it will not burden taxpayers. Conversely, there is opposition to California Assembly Bill SB 79, which mandates high-density zoning near transit stops, potentially undermining local planning efforts and disregarding safety concerns regarding wildfire risks.
The Delta Conveyance Project is a smart, timely and fiscally responsible way to move California's most important water infrastructure project forward.
SB 79 would override our approved Housing Elements crafted with community input and tough compromises, jeopardizing local planning efforts in favor of state control.
