A representative from the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) made a presentation to the Committee on the scope and status of the Project. MWDOC is requesting the City support the project by sending a letter to State officials. MWDOC is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET). MET is responsible for importing water into portions of the southern California region from the State Water Project and the Colorado River. MWDOC is the Orange County agency that purchases water from MET and in turn, sells the water to the vast majority of the cities and water agencies in Orange County. HB -153- Item 12. - 1 Dept. ID PW 17-015 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date:3/6/2017 MWDOC has been reaching out to the many Orange County cities and water agencies in an effort to raise awareness and support for the $15 billion Project, which will construct two parallel 40 foot diameter tunnels from the Sacramento River, under the Sacramento — San Joaquin Bay Delta, to the existing State Water Project intake station on the south side of the Delta. The Project is intended to increase the reliability of the water supply from the Delta while addressing many of the environmental issues that are impacting this region of the State. The California Water Fix is approaching the final stages for its permits as well as finalizing its environmental documents (EIR/EIS and Record of Decision). The City has been requested by MWDOC to assist in raising the profile and level of support for this program and to convey a position of support for this critical source of our water supply. Representatives from MWDOC will be making a comprehensive presentation at the City Council meeting.
