RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA SUPPORTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF "NO TIME TO WASTE - A BLUEPRINT FOR
CALIFORNIA WATER"
WHEREAS, the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) formed a task force
of representatives from water agencies throughout the state to devise an action plan for meeting
California's water supply needs; and
WHEREAS, that task force developed, and the ACW A Board approved, a comprehensive
policy document, "No Time to Waste - A Blueprint for California Water" (the Blueprint); and
WHEREAS, a draft of the Blueprint was sent to all member agencies for comment in
December, several revisions followed to reflect member input, and the ACW A Board approved a
final draft in March 2005; and
WHEREAS, the Blueprint identifies a twelve-step action plan which identifies water
issues affecting the ten regions in California, with a goal of framing the discussion and decision-
making required to provide all Californians with adequate supplies of high quality water, a
healthy environment and a strong economy for decades to come; and
WHEREAS, the Blueprint recommendations are aimed at policy leaders and lawmakers
at both the State and Federal levels, including state legislators, members of Congress, the State
and Federal Administration and all state and federal agencies involved in water supply and
regulatory policy; and
WHEREAS, the Blueprint addresses several factors that could impact the City of Chula
Vista, including flood control and flood plain management, recycled water programs, seawater
desalination facilities and availability of Colorado River water; and
WHEREAS, supporting this resolution does not require the City to support any specific
project, does not have any direct fiscal impact on the City, and will benefit the City by
implementing policies and financing that will increase the State water supply.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista hereby supports the recommendations of "No Time to Waste - A Blueprint for California
