Desalination part of solution for Marin County, says commentary; MMWD meeting moved to larger venue

Posted by: Maven on August 18, 2009 at 7:54 am

From the Marin Independent Journal, this commentary by Margy Eller, president of The League of Women Voters of Marin County:

“THE LEAGUE of Women Voters of Marin County has followed closely the activities of the Marin Municipal Water District. Two league members served on the MMWD board, others have served on citizen advisory committees on the issues of water supply and price, and we have monitored the district board meetings for 20 years as a matter of routine.

The league carefully follows the process that governments use to develop policies and make decisions.

Having watched the MMWD board and staff work for years to plan for future needs, we believe that the process has been excellent, with a wealth of information and numerous special events to keep the public aware of the issues and options. This open and inclusive process has been indispensable to us in understanding the complex issues and the choices available to the board.

We have observed the development of the district’s planning on the issues of future water demand, supply and price. We agree with the staff’s conclusions on a number of points. …”

Also from the Marin Independent Journal:

The Marin Municipal Water District board will tackle the controversial proposed desalination project in a meeting set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Showcase Theater of the Marin Center Exhibit Hall at 10 Avenue of the Flags in San Rafael.

Officials moved the meeting from San Rafael City Hall to the theater in order to accommodate what’s expected to be a large crowd, as the board considers whether to continue to pursue desalination as an option for Marin’s future water supply.
