CALLS NEEDED NOW TO SUPPORT AB 1408 (Krekorian) - FOR WATER SMART COMMUNITIES


AB 1408, one of the Planning and Conservation League's top priority bills for 2009, is headed for a vote in the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee tomorrow, April 28th, and we need your help to get your representative's support. 

AB 1408 eases pressure on our rivers and waterways by providing an easy to way for communities to access better alternatives such as water conservation and recycling to minimize and meet new water demands.  AB 1408 provides incentives for new developments to incorporate water conservation in new development and allows communities an easy to use tool to meet the needs of new development with water conservation and water recycling.

AB 1408 provides a new tool to allow new development to be "water demand neutral."  Modeled after existing, successful programs, AB 1408 allows communities to implement aggressive levels of water conservation & water recycling within the water service area to accommodate new growth. When fully utilized, this program would result a reduction of the of water demand within the community that is equivalent to 100% of the water demand of new development.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

TALKING POINTS FOR YOUR CALL

AB 1408 encourages residential water conservation by designing an offset program for new residential development.

AB 1408 gives regions another tool towards becoming water independent.

• As California grows we must protect and secure our water reliability. Water supply reliability is declining, as evidenced by the unprecedented closing of the salmon season, the Delta decline, continuing contamination of groundwater, major rationing in several regions of the state including the North Bay and Southern California. Climate change will further exacerbate these problems. According to DWR, we may lose up to 4.5 million acre-feet of snowpack by 2050. AB 1408 is a cost-effective way to secure water supplies while encouraging sustainable growth in California.

AB 1408 allows California to accommodate growth while maintaining water supply reliability by encouraging new development to include permanent conservation components through legally enforceable contracts.

AB 1408 is consistent with existing programs in California.
