WaterPlus: ‘THE ONLY LOCAL ORGANIZATION LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, THE RATEPAYER’ Presents Leadership in Action Water Forum on the new Pacific Grove Desalination Project

ABSTRACT: WaterPlus, a public benefit nonprofit corporation, is “THE ONLY LOCAL ORGANIZATION LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, THE RATEPAYER.” THE NEW WATERPLUS MISSION STATEMENT: “Since the collapse of the regional desalination project, in which WaterPlus advocated for community control by promoting the municipalization of Cal Am, WaterPlus has expanded its mission as follows: To advocate in behalf of local Cal Am ratepayers for an adequate and affordable water supply by all reasonable means, including (its original mission) the persuasion or creation of a public agency to purchase Cal Am.” And IMPLEMENTATION: “To implement this new mission, WaterPlus is promoting the development of a desalination plant that will be sufficiently large to constitute a drought-proof water supply for the Monterey Peninsula, at the least possible cost to local ratepayers.” The WaterPlus Forum video(s) on the Pacific Grove Desalination Project, July 16, 2012, including Segments #1 - #6 and the entire 1:20:51 WATER PLUS FORUM ON THE PACIFIC GROVE DESALINATION PROJECT, are embedded.
