The City Council doubles as the Water Board and approves changes to water and sewer rates. Poway has completed the second of three phases of its water infrastructure project — the largest in Poway's history — on time and on budget. With the new Clearwells in place, the final phase — interconnection with the Ramona Water District, along with a pair of emergency interconnects — is in early development and will help ensure safe, reliable water for Powegians for generations to come. I continue to work to ensure residents get good value for this investment in our water system, and will keep rates as low as possible.
