The Countywide Vision’s Water Element Group met with city and town managers today to discuss working with city and towns to incorporate the sustainability of our water supply into planning for future population and economic growth.
Kirby Brill, General Manager of Mojave Water Agency, and Bob Tincher, Manager of Engineering and Planning for the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District described how they believe a partnership between water agencies and the County and cities and towns will help ensure we can reach the level of prosperity we envision for our county.
It is expected the County’s water needs for residents and businesses can be met through 2035, but only if water users step up conservation efforts and the whole community is willing to invest in projects that will store and protect additional water supplies.
