From the Marin Independent Journal:

The Marin Municipal Water District Board of Directors agreed with assertions of a new report that said conservation is important, but didn’t fully embrace the notion that it would be enough to satisfy Marin’s future water needs. Board members responded to the report Wednesday in front of an overflow crowd at its headquarters in Corte Madera.

The report, “Sustaining Our Water Future,” was issued earlier this month by the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit consumer organization Food & Water Watch. The report concludes that the district doesn’t need to build a desalination plant and could instead employ conservation measures, curb leaks and improve reservoir operations to meet future water needs.

“You did a super job to all our benefit,” board member Jack Gibson told the report’s author, James Fryer, a former water district conservation program manager.
