Over the years, I have worked with irrigation so am conversant with water use in <br /> agriculture. <br /> What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to <br /> accomplish if appointed? <br /> Provision for supply, delivery and stewardship of water resources for Orange County. I have no <br /> specific items to accomplish, but do have an interest in water reuse as a means of minimizing <br /> impact on available resources. <br /> What is OWASA's role in growth/development issues? <br /> I think OWASA works within the larger needs of county and its municipalities. Therein the <br /> provision, delivery and stewardship of water resources is the specific perview of OWASA. <br /> Where growth and development is under consideration of the various branches of county and <br /> municipal government, OWASA would be active in helping to implement those items having to <br /> do with water. <br /> Other Comments: <br /> I would like to serve on the OWASA board as water availability, use and quality are <br /> paramount to the county's future. I suggest my technical background in agriculture will <br /> allow me to quickly become knowledgeable on local issues and challenges.
