Bringing back the water to Coalinga is a top priority to me. Here are just a few of the ideas that I have that I know will save residents water, and lower their water bills if the city would enact them.
When I am elected to Council I will push the rest of the council to vote in favor of these items. The most important thing that we can do though is use our voice. During my term as Mayor I was able to create many connections at the Federal and State levels that I will use in order to lobby and show the need for the water in our community. If we have an active council pressing our elected officials from the State Senate, Assembly, and Congress then I am sure we would see some movement on the water.
- Smart Meters – We need the smart meters – they can detect little leaks that over time can be costly to unknown consumers.
- Turf Program – the city should create a turf program to allow for people to replace their lawns with synthetic if they want to.
- Water Recycling – The city really needs to look into water recycling programs.
- Wells – Coalinga has some wells and we use to have a system that used a third faucet we should look into that
