Vote Lauritzen for
CoCo Water District
Re. “Water board has weak candidates in contested race,” Web page A6, Sept. 15 :
There was one line within the editorial on the Contra Costa Water District race about Mariah Lauritzen advocating for recycled water. Blink and you'd miss it.
In 2020, Lauritzen promised to push recycled water at Central San to organize for the results of local weather change. When she couldn’t push recycled water at Central San attributable to laws, she selected a successful technique and bought the district to maneuver on internet zero emissions objectives as an alternative.
Now in 2022, Lauritzen is operating for Contra Costa Water District, the place she may have the facility to push recycled water as she had promised. I solely want extra elected officers can be as persistent and centered in attempting to maintain their guarantees.
Let Lauritzen end the work she has already began. She has proven that she will construct consensus on a board to behave now on the massive water challenges forward.
