According to data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0, the City of Santa Ana faces a <br /> disproportionate amount of Orange County's pollution burden. Proposed Rules 1111 and 1121 would make great <br /> strides towards addressing public health in the city. By electrifying gas appliances such as furnaces and water <br /> heaters, the city can reduce residents' exposure to toxic NOx emissions that result in asthma, lung cancer, and <br /> cardiovascular diseases. <br /> Additionally, there are a number of programs that make installation of electric appliances more affordable for <br /> working families. The state's HEEHRA program offers families between $4,00048,000 for installation costs, and <br /> South Coast AQMD's Go Zero program provides $1,500 in rebates for water heaters and heat pumps. Electric <br /> appliances are not a burden to Santa Ana residents - they are a public health benefit that is more within reach <br /> than ever. <br /> Please oppose the resolution under Item 18. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Ashley Javier <br /> i <br />
