Inland Empire Utilities Agency Division 1 Board Member "Kati The Water Lady your Common Sense Candidate"

Vote for Kati who has a demonstrated history of protecting your water supply with her 31 years of Water Engineering & Policy Experience.

my POLICY PRIORITIES are:

1. KEEP SEWER & WATER RATES LOW

Creating COMMON SENSE WATER POLICY that save taxpayers money by implementing fiscally responsible business practices and efficiencies. 

2. PROTECT YOUR WATER SUPPLY

By implementing and advocating good policy that will keep your water both safe and reliable.  I have a history of creating new local water supplies (ie. recycled water) and advocating to protect your existing groundwater recharge potential.  Our groundwater basins provide 70% of our water supply.  I also want to create policy that will build the necessary storage and reliability infrastructure along the State Water Project, which is 27% of our current water supply.
