professionals and the dedication of thousands of industry professionals in
the state, California drinking water and treated wastewater meets some of
the most stringent water quality standards in the nation; and

nearby well or river, or it may travel hundreds of miles through canals or
pipelines to reach your tap. Regardless of where it originates, your drinking
water is filtered, cleaned, tested and distributed in a process carefully
managed by trained water professionals; and
WHEREAS, California is steadily expanding the reuse of treated wastewater and
pioneering the use of advanced purified recycled water to replenish
aquifers, prevent seawater intrusion and improve local water supply
reliability; and
WHEREAS, water professionals at local public water and wastewater agencies work
24/7 to plan for the future, maintain and upgrade their systems and improve
the safety and resiliency of local water supplies for their communities; and
WHEREAS, according to the Public Policy Institute of California, local public water and
wastewater agencies invest more than $25 billion a year on local water-
