Political Philosophy for John M. "Terry" Mylne, III
Candidate for |

"Water is life" and it is our most precious commodity
I believe that I am uniquely qualified for this position as an Engineer/ businessman, retired, and as a Fourth generation "Water person" in Riverside.
Water agencies in our area were formed in the early 1950's as Member Agencies of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to bring water supplemental to that which was available from local sources from long distances away. It was first brought from the Colorado River and then from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. It is this Water from this Delta location via the 440 mile long California Aqueduct from which the Riverside area now gets it supplemental water. That is a long way for water to travel and it takes a lot of pre-planning and facility construction to get it here. Western Municipal provides all of the supplemental wholesale water to the City of Riverside as well as the retail water to the newer areas such as Woodcrest. Our Families, Businesses and Farms could not exist without water and I am committed to assuring that our water supply continues to be Safe, Clean, and Reliable and that the water rate is Affordable. Conservation and Reclamation have been embraced by most of the residents of Southern California as a way of life. I support it and would tell you that these conservation elements have kept the water demand nearly constant in the face of a growing population for the past two decades. It is working and I am an advocate for this kind of conservation and have helped guide its implementation. Please keep it up. |
