CELEBRATING REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY
______
HON. AMI BERA
of california

Friday, October 8, 2021
Mr. BERA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Regional Water Authority and congratulate them on their 20th anniversary.
A reliable water supply is critical to the Sacramento region as it allows our families to thrive and our businesses to grow. The Regional Water Authority (RWA) was formed in 2001 with a focus on addressing the reliability, quality, affordability, and availability of our region's water supply. RWA is made of up cities, water and irrigation districts, mutual water companies, investor-owned water utilities and community services districts.
Over its 20 years of work, RWA has played a critical role in supporting effective management of our region's water resources. From facilitating implementation of our region's conjunctive use program to reduce diversions from the American River during dry water years to preparing the American River Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, RWA has served the Sacramento region well. Its work will continue to be critical as we face a changing climate and work towards a resilient water supply to support our vibrant economy.
I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking the Regional Water Authority for their 20 years of work on behalf of the greater Sacramento region, and I look forward to working with them over the next 20 years.
