“California is the sixth largest economy in the world, and Silicon Valley is a primary driver of our state’s job creation and growth. Yet our success is at risk unless we move to protect our water supply.

“That’s why we are urging the Santa Clara Valley Water District help secure our water supplies now and well into the future by supporting California WaterFix, which will deliver water through modern pipelines.”

“Forty percent of our region’s water is imported from the Sierra Nevada through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This water travels long distances through 100-year old dirt levees that are vulnerable to collapse during an earthquake. It is at risk of contamination from salt water due to rising sea levels associated with climate change.

“WaterFix provides the only viable and detailed solution to address these risks and shore up the water supply we, and most Californians, rely on.”
