Re: Request For Letter of Support for the Proposed "California Affordable Quantity and
Quality Water Act"
Dear Mr. Ambrose:
Legislation known as the "California Affordable Quantity and Quality Water Act"
(CAL-AQQWA) is to be introduced by U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer in July 2002. This legislation,
has money earmarked in it, which would be available for Zone 7's Wellhead Demineralization
Project. Zone 7 is requesting support from your agency by endorsing this legislation.
CAL-AQQWA will amend The Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities
Act (43 U.S.C. 390h note; 106 Stat.4663). The amendment will, among other things, provide
direct funding and/or grants and loans to various water projects throughout California. In the
CAL-AQQWA, several of these projects are specifically named to receive funding, to be given
priority over other projects, or to qualify as "eligible" projects for grants and loans.
One of the projects specifically named is the Alameda County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District Livermore-Amador Valley Ground Water Basin Project. The main element
of this project is a Wellhead Demineralization Project to treat groundwater from the basin. The
demineralization project will be planned, designed, and implemented by the Zone 7 Water
Agency. This project will allow the Zone to meet goals such as maintaining or improving
groundwater mineral quality, maintaining or improving delivered water quality, and providing a
mechanism for full mitigation of all salt loading associated with community approved recycled
water use.

The Livermore-Amador Valley Groundwater Basin is an important local water source and
essential to providing Valley residents and businesses with a reliable water supply, especially in
times of drought. This legislation will greatly benefit the community and it is important that this
legislation receive the support of community leaders. Your letter of support would be very
valuable and greatly appreciated. For your convenience, a sample letter of support is attached.
Please have the appropriate official in your agency sign the letter and either send directly to
Senator Boxer's Office or re~_rn it to Zone 7 and we will forward the letter of support to Senator
Barbara Boxer's Office.
Please feel free to give me or Dennis Gambs (ext. 224) a call if you have any questions or
comments.

RE: CALIFORNIA AFFORDABLE QUANTITY & QUALITY WATER ACT
Dear Senator Boxer:
The City Council of the City of Dublin is in support of legislation YOu plan to introduce this summer - The
California Affordable Quantity and Quality Water Act (CAL-AQQWA). The Council is well aware of the need
for funding for various water projects.
The CAL-AQQWA will enable various government entities in California to implement many essential projects
that promote water recycling, reclamation, and groundwater storage. While many cities and water agencies
currently only dream of undertaking such projects because they lack funding, your bill will allow many of these
projects to come to fruition. Water recycling, reclamation, and groundwater storage projects are essential to
California, where population is increasing and water supply is limited. Not only will CAL-AQQWA help ensure
that Californians have a good quality and sufficient water supply, but it will benefit the environment through
recycling and reclamation projects.
The City Council has gone on record in support of the California Affordable Quantity and Quality Act, and I
thank you for your time and effort in introducing this legislation. The Act will especially benefit the citizens in
the Tri-Valley by significantly improving our groundwater quality - an essential local water source. It is our hope
that the bill becomes enacted.
Very truly yours,
Janet Lockhart
Mayor
