It is long overdue that we establish a comprehensive, long-term strategy for a sustainable and affordable water solution. As the representative for the City of Monterey on Monterey One Water (M1W), our region’s wastewater and recycled water treatment agency, I spearheaded efforts to advance the expansion of Pure Water Monterey (PWM).
