A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING ALL EFFORTS
TO REDUCE WATER WASTE, AND REQUESTING CITIZENS
OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA TO CONSERVE WATER.
WHEREAS, California suffered a severe drought in 1976, requiring
water rationing and conservation measures in many parts of the State;
and
WHEREAS, rainfall for the current year has been substantially
below normal, particularly in Northern California, and, in the absence
of major storms within the next few months, 1977 will be another year of
serious drought which will cause water shortages in many communities and
farming areas of the State; and
WHEREAS, although Orange County, through programs developed over
many years by Southern California water agencies, has an assured water
supply, reducing local water consumption will make more water available
to needy parts of the State; and
WHEREAS, Governor Brown has asked for the cooperation and active
participation of all public officials and citizens of the State of
California in conserving our water supplies;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa supports every effort to prevent water waste, and urges every
citizen to exercise the greatest care in the use of water so as to
protect this vital resource.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of February, 1977.
