November 2020 Election: FSLVW Questions for Candidates

Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency

The California Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 requires local water agencies to achieve sustainability within 20 years. Since that time, the SLVWD, the Scotts Valley Water District, and the County of Santa Cruz have worked on a plan to address the overdraft of the Santa Margarita aquifer.

What do you see as top priorities for SLVWD in engaging in the SMGWA negotiations, and what relevant expertise can you contribute?
