According to data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0, the City of <br /> Santa Ana faces a disproportionate amount of Orange County's pollution burden.Proposed Rules 111 I and <br /> 1121 would make great strides towards addressing public health in the city. By electrifying gas appliances <br /> such as furnaces and water heaters, the city can reduce residents' exposure to toxic NOx emissions that <br /> result in asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. <br /> Additionally,there are a number of programs that make installation of electric appliances more affordable <br /> for working families. The state's HEEHRA program offers families between$4,00048,000 for installation <br /> costs, and South Coast AQMD's Go Zero program provides $1,500 in rebates for water heaters and heat <br /> pumps. Electric appliances are not a burden to Santa Ana residents -they are a public health benefit that is <br /> more within reach than ever. <br /> Please oppose the resolution under Item 18. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Kate Anderson-Strain <br /> 1 <br />
