From Rocklin & Roseville Today:

Water industry leaders from across Northern California gathered Friday (June 12) in Auburn for a business meeting and tour of the Placer County Water Agency’s innovative American River Pump Station.

The occasion was a joint meeting of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), Region 3; and the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA). Co-hosted by PCWA and the Nevada Irrigation District (NID), the meeting attracted about 80 people to the The Ridge Golf Club and Event Center in Auburn.

Featured speakers were John Woodling, executive director of the Sacramento-based Regional Water Authority (RWA) and Victoria Whitney, chief of the Division of Water Rights of the California Water Resources Control Board.

Woodling’s presentation focused on the governor’s call for a statewide 20 percent reduction in urban water use by the year 2020. He said a “one size fits all” approach to water conservation will not work and that conservation can best be accomplished by local agencies. “Under our existing regional plan we will achieve a 20 percent reduction by 2025,” he said.
