HomeMy WebLinkAbout64-053RESOLUTION 64-53 EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO
THE PACIFIC SOUTHWEST WATER PLAN, AS MODIFIED
WHEREAS, this City Council firmly believes that the most
serious problem facing the vast population in Southern California
is the continuing threat of water shortage and that its first duty
to the citizens of its City is to maintain a supply of potable
water for their use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA: That they oppose the present Pacific Southwest
Water Plan offered and modified by Secretary of the Interior Udall
in that it includes in part the discontinuance of a portion of the
structures of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The City of Santa Ana was one of the original contracting cities in
the formation of said Metropolitan Water District and has paid taxes
continuously for the construction and operation of said District's
water works system, together with other taxpayers in the area has
constructed, improved and extended said system entirely from funds
supplied by the users thereof and should now have a vested right in
the continuation of said system and the guaranteed supplies from
the Colorado River.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That all portions of said Pacific
Southwest Water Plan other than those which contemplate the
surrendering of rights in the Colorado River or the abandonment of
any aqueduct lines or portions of Metropolitan's system should
proceed, but any studies or any action should preserve the present
water entitlement and the investment of the cities of Southern
California in the system they have build with their own funds.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa
Aha at its regular meeting held on the 20th day of April, 1964.
