FRESNO, Calif. Sept. 19, 2017— Restore the Delta issued an official statement on Westlands Water District’s vote on the California WaterFix.
Executive Director of Restore the Delta, Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla said:
“Today is a very good day for California. By rejecting California WaterFix, the Westlands Water District has dealt a blow to the project. There are many better solutions for creating a sustainable water supply in California. Metropolitan Water District’s math is based on a sizable contribution from Westlands, so is Santa Clara Valley Water District’s. They now have to come up with a lot more money for the Delta Tunnels. It won’t pencil out for them either.”
