Comment Letter: Water Measurement and Reporting Regulation Dec 2, 2024 Comment Letters To: Courtney Tyler, Clerk to the Board, State Water Resources Control Board Subject: Water Measurement and Reporting Regulation Letter: The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments to the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) on the proposed changes to the Measuring and Reporting and Water Diversion and Use Reporting Regulations (Regulations). ACWA represents 470 local public water agencies that supply water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses to over 90 percent of California’s population. In 2022, ACWA’s Board of Director’s adopted Climate Change Policy Principles that recognize improved administration of the rights priority system as an essential strategy to ensuring a reliable water supply in a changing climate. Specifically, the policy principle calls for the State “to modernize the improved administration of the water rights priority system with improved data, efficiency and transparency, while maintain the existing priority system as its legal and operational foundation.” Download Comment Letter
