Salinity is a serious water quality issue facing Southern California.
Salt causes pipes to clog, water heaters to fail and limits our ability to reuse water supplies. Congressman Dreier s success will help Southern California eliminate this problem permanently. Additionally, it is working to improve current technologies and develop new ones that will reduce the negative economic impact of high water salinity on domestic, commercial and industrial users. With our communities growing quickly, we ve got to find cost-efficient ways to ensure a stable and dependable water supply. Metropolitan and its many partners have done a great job getting this project off the ground, and I am pleased that these additional funds will contribute to its progress.
