Description
Whether El Niño delivers on its promise of a wet winter, water agencies across Orange County face a perfect storm of challenges in delivering reliable water that serves as the lifeblood for 3 million residents and business communities that produce a gross county product of $223.2 billion. The system of reservoirs and aqueducts that carries water hundreds of miles to reach our county are aging and susceptible to earthquakes and political tremors. Agencies have been ordered to cut their water use or face fines and ever-changing laws make developing fair and accurate rates more and more complex.
Attend the 9th Annual OC Water Summit to learn about the Orange County projects that will provide shelter from the storms, and lessons learned from businesses that are harvesting profits despite the clouds.
