Altadena Heritage
Altadena Heritage will be hosting a public forum, “Altadena’s Water Future,” to try to clarify issues of water supply, water quality, handling of storm water, and mandated compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act as they impact Altadena.
We have lined up a panel of important water people for this round-table event:
- Chris Stone, LA County’s Water Resource manager;
- a representative from the Roads division of County Department of Public Works, to be announced;
- Tim Brick of the Arroyo Seco Foundation and former chairman of Metropolitan Water District;
- Rich Atwater of the Foothill Municipal Water District.
- Other local water purveyors including Pasadena have been specially invited to attend, and most are sending representatives.
Our goal is to increase Altadenans’ knowledge of, and involvement in, today’s water issues, including water security and water quality initiatives such as Clean Water, Clean Beaches Act (designed to put LA County in compliance with Federal regulations. It was recently dropped, but is sure to reappear).
We will focus somewhat on Altadena’s position at the top of the inhabited watershed, but will also address the general situation in Southern California. We want everyone to understand local opportunities for management: capture, recharge, and treatment.
