Top Five Reasons Orange County Needs WaterFix Ensuring a Reliable Supply: Nearly half of Orange County’s total water supply is imported from the Colorado River and Northern California. California WaterFix will help protect an essential water supply. Supporting Local Water Storage: Orange County has a system of reservoirs and large groundwater basins that store and protect local and imported water supplies to the entire county. California WaterFix helps promote healthy local storage levels for long-term reliability. Protecting Orange County’s Investment: Orange County ratepayers have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build and maintain the State Water Project system in Northern California. California WaterFix will help protect this investment. Orange County’s imported water supply from Northern California is at long-term risk. The reliability of this supply for Orange County and all of Southern California is threatened due to pumping restrictions, deteriorating environmental conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and an aging water system that was not designed to meet today’s challenges. State and federal agencies want to modernize this system through a project known as the California WaterFix that has both water delivery and ecosystem benefits. Here are five benefits to Orange County if the project moves forward. Preserving Jobs: Orange County and Silicon Valley rely on this same vital water supply. Securing its reliability will protect nearly 1 million jobs statewide. Preparing for Drought and Emergencies: Nearly all Southland water held in reserves is imported water. California WaterFix helps ensure that Orange County will have sufficient supplies at critical times when we need them.
