Election Day is upon us and I have a “Once in a Generation” opportunity for all of you Angelenos out there to ensure a lifetime increase of water supply from much safer, cleaner water. It is called Measure W. In short, Measure W is a stormwater collection program that targets runoff pollution, the largest source of pollution to our waterways. It will help capture, clean and REUSE the over 100 billion gallons of wasted stormwater that otherwise hits the pavement, gathers oil and other trash and pollutes our beaches and oceans. It’s a win-win because it will keep polluted stormwater out of waterways, capture much needed water to supply Southern Californians, and create new parks and other green spaces.
I have been a water quality lawyer for most of my career, and I am fully supporting Measure W. I hope you, my Everyday Eco-Habit family, will consider doing the same on the November 6th ballot.
