Recovering Our Most Precious Resource Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

Las Virgenes General Manager and President of Water ReUse California, Dave Pedersen joins Darcy and Darcy for a frank and raw discussion on direct potable reuse (DPR). In late December, the State Water Resources Control Board approved DPR regulations; these regs will govern water agencies looking to use their wastewater as a new drinking water resource. DPR takes advanced recycled water and treats it even further through technology, innovation, and safeguards to make it potable, or drinkable. The Darcy’s weren’t on the same page, believe it or not, and the discussion includes asking Dave some tough questions on safety, cost, and most importantly, public acceptance.

More than Healthy Rivers for Sure! Dec 13, 2023

Show notes

State Water Project (SWP) Contractors’ General Manager Jennifer Pierre joins Darcy and Darcy this week and Boy! Did they have a lot to talk about! Jennifer discusses the Governor’s proposal for the Water Quality Control Plan update, the State Water Resources Control Board’s (SWRCB) staff proposal which would have huge water costs across the state (2-Million-Acre-Feet of water lost to cities and farms) why it’s so important that the (SWRCB) adopts the Voluntary Agreements (dubbed Healthy Rivers and Landscapes). Jennifer lets them know why support is critical right now, the benefits of having everyone at the table, and the work that went into getting where we are today. Bottom line - This proposal is so much more than Healthy Rivers! Darcy, Darcy, and Jennifer also discuss initial SWP allocation, disadvantaged communities, and water affordability.
