Stockton, CA - On Monday, March 21, 2016 the San Luis Delta-Mendota Water Authority one of the water districts placed on negative credit watch last week due to its bond guarantor, Westlands Water District, engaging in a little Enron accounting, now seeks to disqualify State Water Resources Control Board officers from overseeing the permit process for the Delta Tunnels.

Event Alert: Stop the Tunnels in Livermore, this Wednesday!
Dear Friends of Restore the Delta,The Zone 7 Water Agency is scheduled to vote to support the Delta tunnels project at a public meeting this Wednesday. The vote centers around continued financial support. They need to hear from people who oppose the Delta Tunnels project! It is important for urban ratepayers and all of California to oppose this project.Zone 7 sells treated water primarily to four retail water agencies – the California Water Service Company, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, and the Dublin San Ramon Services District. Not only will the project result in higher water rates for residents being served by these water districts, but as a State Water Project contractor it is likely that they will also use parcel/property taxes to pay for the project, even though you will not receive any additional water. In addition, Zone 7 Water Agency's calculations are based on a 40% contribution from the Westlands Water District to the project's total costs. However, Westlands officials have recently stated in public meetings and to the press that they are not moving forward with any further financial contributions. In addition, they are in hot water with the SEC for "Enron" style accounting. That means that smaller water agencies, like Zone 7, will have to come up with the additional funding.What: Zone 7 Water Agency Board Meeting, Citizens Forum (will occur at the beginning of the meeting)Date: Wednesday, March 16, 2016Location: 100 N. Canyons Parkway, LivermoreTime: 7:00 pmAnd/or email comments to: BoardofDirectors@zone7water.comHere is a statement for you to use as a template, or to send to them as an email. Thank you, Barbara, Restore the Delta******************************************************************************Dear Zone 7 Water Agency Board Members,Instead of spending more money on planning and supporting the Delta tunnels, which will not meet standards under the Clean Water Act or the Endangered Species Act for protection of the Delta, it would be much more cost-effective for Zone 7 Water Agency to continue to pursue the good conservation measures that are currently at work, and to draw available water from the Delta during wet periods. As a water rate payer and property tax payer, I do not want to pay money for a project that will not create additional water supply. I do not want to pay money for a project so that Zone 7 Water Agency moves into the water resale business. In addition, seeing that Westlands Water District officials are facing an SEC fine for "Enron" style accounting and are saying in public meetings and to the press that they are not contributing their 40% share to the total cost of the project, Zone 7 will be on the hook for significantly more money as the years go by. And for what? To help State Water Project contractors in the Southern part of the state?As part of the Bay-Delta region, it makes more sense for Zone 7 Water Agency to align itself with other Bay-Delta communities to protect the long term health of the SF Bay-Delta estuary. The Department of Water Resources' own modeling and climate change modeling by independent scientists shows us that there is going to be less and less water available from the Delta watershed. How can Zone 7 invest in what will ultimately become a stranded asset? Please VOTE NO against CA WaterFix/Delta Tunnels.

Southern California Water Agency to Purchase Delta Islands, Restore the Delta Response
Stockton, CA – At a closed session board meeting this morning, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California authorized the purchase of four islands in the San Francisco Bay-Delta for an undisclosed sum. The deal is highly controversial in Northern California as it would put Southern California’s most powerful water agency in control of a group of Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta islands that can serve as water storage areas or entry points for the proposed $15 billion Delta Tunnels projects.
