California Water Leaders to Push for Infrastructure Investments
More than 130 local California water leaders will be in Washington, D.C. this week to meet with key members of California’s congressional delegation and highlight the critical role of water infrastructure as part of the Association of California Water Agencies’ annual DC Conference.
ACWA members representing agencies from around the state will discuss the importance of water facilities in the wake of dramatic flooding and drought in California and make the case for water facilities and projects to be included in any infrastructure investment package that advances in Congress this year.
Conference attendees also will hear from Trump administration officials and get an update on 2017 legislative priorities. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-23) and U.S. Reps. John Garamendi (D-3), Doug LaMalfa (R-1), Jeff Denham (R-10), Jared Huffman (D-2), Ken Calvert (R-42) and Jim Costa (D-16) are among expected speakers.
