CC - 1993-37 - Supporting SB 778RESOLUTION NO. 93-37
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD SUPPORTING SB 778 (DILLS)
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead supports the use of reclaimed water
for appropriate uses whenever and wherever possible; and
WHEREAS, periods of drought throughout California threaten to
create water shortages, thus requiring all water users to consume
potable water supplies whenever possible; and
WHEREAS, the Rosemead City Council considers payment by the
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County to a private water company
for the right to use its own reclaimed water at its own facilities to
be a disincentive for maximizing such usage; and
WHEREAS, the Rosemead City Council recognizes that private water
companies are entitled to fair compensation for capital improvements
made at the landfill site in question; and
WHEREAS, the County Sanitation Districts have offered just
compensation for capital improvements made by the San Gabriel Valley
Water Company at the Puente Hills Landfill site; and
WHEREAS, SB 778 (Dills) would exempt from the State Service
Duplication Law, the use of reclaimed water by a public entity at
that entity's own facilities; and
WHEREAS, in this period of budget crisis and fiscal constraints,
local agencies have a duty to the public to manage their operations
as efficiently and inexpensively as possible.
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Rosemead City Council that SB
778 offers a reasonable solution to the specific reclaimed water
issue presented at the Puente Hills Landfill.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of the City
of Rosemead supports SB 778 (Dills) and authorizes the City Clerk to
forward copies of this Resolution to members of the California State
Legislature.
