Eastern Municipal Water District gives go-ahead to 9 industrial & residential projects

From today’s Riverside Press-Enterprise:

An Inland water agency said it could serve nine major industrial and residential projects in the southwest Riverside County area, the first assessments it has approved since determining that conservation measures and other resources would provide enough water for the long-term future.

The Eastern Municipal Water District board of directors decided Wednesday to issue water supply assessments for the nine projects, confirming that it believes the district can provide water to the developments for at least 20 years based on current conditions.

The district temporarily stopped certifying new projects in October, because of concerns over long-term water supplies, including the ongoing drought and a court-ordered reduction in water deliveries from the Sacramento River Delta to protect a fish species threatened with extinction.
