Rep. Peters Joins Colleagues in Pragmatic Drought Response Effort

Statement

"As the drought drags on we need aggressive action to help harmed communities, and we have to be planning for our region's long-term water future through increased water infrastructure," Rep. Peters said. "San Diego is already leading the way in water recycling and desalination, and we can provide an example for diversifying water supplies to the rest of the West."

The legislation includes almost $1.2 billion in emergency funds for reclamation projects, increased water infrastructure support, water reuse and recycling efforts, assistance for farm communities, and contaminated groundwater cleanup.
