“Thanks to the funding from SAFER we get bottled water, but we know that’s only a short-term solution... My community and I have been working alongside the Community Water Center to develop a long-term solution. Currently, we are in the design phase, but to get to the construction phase, we are dependent on SAFER receiving the funding every year.” -Isabel Morales, resident of the Royal Oaks

Rural communities with contaminated water push for state funding and long-term solutions. Testing nearly a decade ago revealed a wider spectrum of contaminants in the drinking water of households located along Johnson, McGinnis and Live Oak roads in the Royal Oaks area.

Thank you to our co-founder and water justice ally, Laurel Firestone, for your work advancing safe and affordable drinking water during your time as a Board Member of the State Water Resources Control Board. We wish you the best in your new adventure and hope to continue to work with you in the near future!

Agradecemos a nuestra cofundadora y aliada en la lucha por la justicia del agua, Laurel Firestone, por su trabajo para promover el acceso al agua potable segura y asequible durante su gestión como miembro de la Junta Estatal de Control de Recursos Hídricos. ¡Le deseamos lo mejor en su nueva etapa y esperamos seguir colaborando con usted en un futuro próximo!
