I am committed to maintaining and further building upon West Basin’s partnership with the City of El Segundo.” Looking at the most significant challenges facing not only West Basin but the region as a whole, Houston pointed to the fact that California is now in its fourth consecutive drought year —with over 80 percent of the state suffering from exceptional drought compounded by record-high temperatures. Additionally, the past year’s snowpack was sparse and reservoir levels remain at an all-time low. “We can’t stress enough how important it is to use only the water that you need,” Houston said. “But even if the drought ends, our future water supplies will be continually challenged by a growing population, climate change and the need to provide more water to restore the environment.” To drive the message home, West Basin’s Board early last year adopted a resolution declaring a drought alert. This came on the heels of Governor Brown’s January 2014 Emergency Drought Declaration and stated goal to achieve a 20 percent water use reduction. “While West Basin is not imposing any water restrictions, the drought alert directs the District’s 17 cities, unincorporated county areas and retail customer agencies to implement conservation measures to help extend and protect the water we have in storage that is used to meet the water needs in Southern California,” Houston said. “We encourage residents and businesses in our service area to take advantage of the many free water efficiency programs we offer.” Said programs include free rain barrels, weather-based irrigation controllers to help reduce water use, free landscape audits, and California Friendly Landscaping classes and rebates through the MWD (bewaterwise.com). West Basin itself embarked on a Boarddirected plan called Water Reliability 2020 to decrease the agency’s dependence on imported water from the current 66 percent down to 33 percent in five years. The goal is to provide a more drought-proof and locally-controlled water supply to augment imported water. “Water Reliability 2020 will be accomplished by doubling the District’s conservation and water recycling efforts and investigating the feasibility of adding ocean water desalination as a future water supply,” Houston noted. Even if conservation goals are met, don’t expect the cost of water to go down anytime soon—or perhaps ever. “Unfortunately, water rates will continue to rise,” Houston warned. “Water rates are driven by the increasing cost of labor, increasing cost of chemicals to clean the water, funds to maintain water systems— which in some cases the water systems can be quite old… Also new water supplies and systems to accommodate population growth, higher water quality requirements and the need to clean up contaminated water. Most of the causes of the increase in water rates are beyond local control.” Elaborating further on these costs, Houston added that the City of El Segundo has already incurred the water rate increases. “The proposed rate increases for the next five years are simply pass-through costs that, even if protested by a majority of water customers in town, will still be paid for by the City regardless. So, protesting the rate increases will only shortchange the City of monies that could be used for other valuable services in our community.” To combat rising costs and reduce expenditures, Houston urged citizens to become more efficient with the water that is available by investing in low water use appliances, converting parts of lawns to California native gardens, only washing full loads of dishes and laundry, taking shorter showers, bringing cars to water recycling car washes, and turning off the water when brushing teeth or shaving. “A family in the United States uses about twice as much water as the average family in Europe,” Houston said. “A different mindset is critical and I hope to get the message across.” • Apartment For Rent 330 Sierra St. 1BD/1BA.

School Board from front page of the Center Street marquee. The vintage marquee at the front entrance to the school had become outdated with the influx of new technology. Monahan asked retired teacher Janet Reed, who taught for more than two decades at Center Street, to “spruce it up for us.” Reed presented Monahan with what the principal termed “an amazing concept for a stained/glass mosaic with the image of a cougar cub under “Center Street School.” Said Monahan: “This work of art will beautify the entrance of our school for years to come as the playful, inquisitive cougar welcomes families to Center Street.” The final special presentation was made by Ed! Foundation CEO Carol Pirsztuk, who gave her monthly update on upcoming Ed! Foundation events, including the 2nd Annual Guys Night Out, which will take place on Friday, March 6th, at Beach City Baseball; the Foundations 4th annual gala, set for Friday, May 15th on the grounds at Chevron Park; and the beginning of the Foundation’s summer academy, which will run this year from June 15th thru July 17th. The consent agenda portion of the more than two-hour meeting included the board consenting to three school assemblies, and two field trips. The field trips will take place in late April. Students from the High School AVID program will travel south to take their yearly tour of college campuses to educate the students on possible options in pursuing their academic career, post-graduation.
