A friend was clearing out a spot at her house and ran across some papers that she no longer wanted. Of course, knowing how much I love this stuff, she passed this 4-page letter on to me. I had never seen it before, and when I read it, I was amazed how accurately predictions made by the LOCSD board came true. This was written in November of 2003, twelve-plus years ago.
Read it and weep. It should be crystal clear why delaying, then stopping the Tri-W project was a costly idea, not just in the $29 million that we pay for the sewer to be out of town, but in delaying remediation to a horribly damaged water supply. Very little was done to save water until 2012, when water saving measures began with the County's project. We won't be putting clean water back into the basin until mid-2016 at the earliest, if then.
As for what is going on besides the sewer project to protect our water, you might also want to check out what the Basin Management Committee is up to in their efforts to save it too:
