Chamber Sets Course for Water Analysis
|
The Goleta Chamber's Public Policy Committee has set 2017 as the year to study a long-term strategy for water security in the region. This group usually tackles a wide variety of policy, land use, government and business issues, but given the severity of the recent drought, the group decided to use its collective man power to tackle one of the most pressing issues for our region.
Santa Barbara County has various water purveyors and districts and the recent drought caused our group to wonder if a more long-term and cohesive strategy could help us deal with what may be a ten-year repetitive cycle of drought.
The first meeting has been held with guest speaker John McInnes, General Manager of the Goleta Water District. Mr. McInnes' presentation focused on some very positive aspects of how Goleta dealt with the drought and reviewed with the group that one important strategy they are addressing is direct or indirect reuse potable water, where wastewater is cleaned so thoroughly that it can be recharged into the ground water and becomes potable again.
The second speaker was Robert Lewin, Executive Director of the
Office of Emergency Management for the County. Lewin was tasked with convening all the County agencies who are responsible for water in the current emergency. He subsequently drafted a proposal to the Governor's Drought Task Force outlining our County's 7 top priority projects to address long term strategies regarding a drought.
The goal of the group is to present a white paper near the end of the year outlining what we have learned and making recommendations. If you are interested in hearing more about the Public Policy Committee's work, please contact Kristen Miller at [email protected].

Cathy Hart and Rondi Guthrie from Southern California Edison spoke at March Issue and Policy Roundtable to show the business audience how the utility is working to modernize the grid to meet the needs of the future.
Amidst the profound shift underway in the electric power industry, today's customers are increasingly seeking choice in how they manage their energy. They are adopting distributed energy resources (DERs)-rooftop solar, onsite energy storage, electric vehicles, and energy management systems-to achieve cost savings, cleaner energy, conservation, and enhanced reliability. In response, the industry has begun an era of reinvention to enable these choices and create a clean, reliable energy future. To find out more about this initiative, click here...
