In early April, Executive Director Jack Hawks represented the California Water Association at the State Water Resources Control Board’s Water Affordability Symposium in Sacramento. State and local officials, water suppliers, and community-based organizations attending the symposium heard from leading researchers and national experts about innovative affordability practices.
Topics of the four panels included: “Foundations of Water Affordability,” “Innovative Affordability Programs Outside of California,” “California’s Affordability Programs,” and AB 401 and the Path Forward.” The afternoon session featured remarks by California State Senator Bill Dodd.
A streaming video of the entire symposium is available online as well as downloadable versions of the video, audio, and speakers’ bios.
