Comment Letter to Assembly Select Committee on Permitting Reform Oct 10, 2024 Comment Letters To: Assemblymember Buffy Wicks Subject: Assembly Select Committee on Permitting Reform Letter: The undersigned organizations represent a broad cross-section of California water including: public and private water agencies, wastewater providers, recycled water, agriculture, and business. We want to thank you for your leadership on this important issue, as well as the time and dedication of the members of the Assembly Select Committee on Permitting Reform (Select Committee), as we collectively work on innovative solutions to adapt California’s infrastructure and practices for climate change. We write specifically to emphasize the critical nature of including water supply development, treatment, and distribution in the conversations of the Select Committee. Permit reform, climate change, and housing are inextricably linked to water; without these generational investments in water, California will not be able to maintain its current way of life.
