Why does BizFed support the California WaterFix?
The California WaterFix will repair our state’s outdated main water distribution system with a modern pipeline that will deliver clean water supplies more reliably.
Our region is heavily reliant on this system to deliver 30% of our overall water supplies, and in some areas up to 75%.
Please act now, and remember to let us know you took action so we can credit your efforts.
If you have any questions, please contact Brandon Matson at Brandon.Matson@BizFed.org
