WHEREAS, the Orange County Municipal Water District
indicates that they intend to consider construction of large
storage facilities in the eastern part of Orange County; and

underground water basin in the area,

Beach as a member of the West Orange County Water Board and its
entities, opposes the use of funds collected from within the
entire Orange County Municipal Water District for the construc-
tion of storage facilities which would only benefit a portion
of the area within said District;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Huntington Beach
