March 29 – LA County Flood Control District – Water Quality Funding Initiative

mcopeland — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:25:55 +0000

The burden of addressing stormwater pollution is a challenge every city is facing. Engineer Russ Bryden with the LA County Dept. of Public Works will explain the Water Quality Funding Initiative – a ballot initiative that, if approved by the voters, will provide an on-going stable funding source to enhance water quality through implementation of clean water projects and programs while reducing pollution in stormwater and urban runoff. If the voters do not approve the Water Quality Funding Initiative, cities will have to continue funding water quality improvement needs from general funds or other less reliable sources.
