Register now for the fun and informative Hetch Hetchy Tour on July 22-24

From the Water Education Foundation:

There are still seats available for the upcoming Hetch Hetchy Tour, July 22-24, and we wanted to give our Aquafornia readers a chance to register before it is full. Nearly a century after the completion of the Hetch Hetchy water system, the debate continues on whether to restore the Hetch Hetchy Valley, a geologic twin to Yosemite Valley, to its natural state. Hear from proponents and opponents of this issue and find out how this would impact the Bay Area water delivery system on the Water Education Foundation’s Hetch Hetchy Valley Tour, July 22-24.

On this three-day, two-night tour, participants will hear from a wide range of experts on both sides of this issue and more, including discussions on topics such as steelhead restoration and water supply. Participants will get a firsthand look at how the system operates, learn about the history and geology of the area and hear about current projects underway, such as the water-user funded capital infrastructure improvement projects in progress to improve the Bay Area’s water system infrastructure.

The tour travels from the urban San Francisco Bay Area served by the Hetch Hetchy Project to O’Shaughnessy Dam in the Hetch Hetchy Valley. Stops include the Sunol Water Temple and lower Crystal Springs Dam. Co-sponsored by the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the tour will begin and end at the BAWSCA offices in San Mateo. Restore Hetch Hetchy and Tuolumne River Trust will also participate.

This is a special opportunity for anyone interested in Hetch Hetchy issues and a must for journalists, water policy-makers, water board managers and directors, lawyers, and consultants.

Registration is $650 per person or $525 each for two people sharing a room. To register securely online, please visit the Foundation’s website at www.watereducation.org/tours or call 916-444-6240 for more information.
