from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to
support the environmental and economic vitality of the area; and
Many water users in Huntington Beach are served by the San
Joaquin Reservoir; and
The San Joaquin Reservoir stores treated water which is
delivered to approximately 400, 000 consumers in Coastal Orange
County, including those who reside and do business in Huntington
Beach; and
The City of Huntington Beach also depends on the San Joaquin
Reservoir for providing its citizens with approximately 30 days
emergency storage; and

to continuing water quality problems; and
These closures have a significant impact on the overall
reliability and quality of the Orange County Coastal Community' s

The San Joaquin Reservoir ' s current operational constraints
will make it impossible for its operators to meet future federal
and state water quality standards which are expected to be more
stringent; and
