General Manager Murphy reported on an AMWA conference in DC covering water affordability and cybersecurity, while Board President Avila detailed ACWA leadership activities and AB 2032 testimony on golden mussels.

Avila to Lead New ACWA Task Force on Statewide Significance Issues Like Delta Conveyance
President Avila will lead an ACWA task force to create a formal process for the association to take positions on projects of statewide significance like the Delta Conveyance Project.
