Water Crisis Looming, warns Newhall County Water Board member BJ Atkins

This, from the Santa Clarita Valley Signal:

One of my normal morning rituals is to head to the kitchen, get a cup of coffee and read the local paper. If I went to the sink right now and turned on the water, without hesitation I would expect clean, pure water to start flowing. The reliability of the water system is unquestioned. Would you be upset if water did not appear on demand? Would you find not being able to take your shower or wash your hands objectionable?

We don’t think twice about water; it is always there.

This is a testament to the efficiency of the water community. As a new member of the water community, I am continually impressed with the level of professionalism, attention to detail and passion exhibited by water agency staff and related officials. It’s no wonder Californians are not forced to think much about water.

This will not always be the case. As we look to the future, certain facts stare us in the face - and it doesn’t take long to become alarmed.
