THE VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS FOR SUPPORT OF THE
SPECIAL WATER BOND ELECTION HELD MARCH 13, 1962
WHEREAS, the very rapid population increase in the Santa Aha
Basin area has placed a serious and continuing overdraught situation
on the Santa Aha River Basin water and on the capacity of the Metro-
politan Water District feeder lines throughout Orange County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has an outstanding water distri-
bution system with appurtenant works which has been classified as
'~umber 1" by the engineering staff of the Fire Insurance Underwriters,
the best classification obtainable, which water system is being
subjected to continuing increase in demand, and which system, though
of the highest quality possible, can no longer be considered safe in
its reliance upon Basin and present feeder line supplies of water;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana, in cooperation with the City
of Anaheim, Metropolitan Water District, Orange County Municipal
Water District and the Coastal Water District, has jointly contracted
for the construction of a new Metropolitan feeder line, to be known
as the "East Orange County Feeder No. 2", and has undertaken
engineering studies which determined the necessity for additional
reservoir capacity and additional Santa Ana trunk lines which are to
be financed by a revenue bond issue which was placed before the voters
of Santa Ana on March 13, 1962, and was approved by said voters by a
wide margin.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the
City of Santa Aha hereby recognizes and declares that the approving
vote given to the Water Revenue Bonds on March 13, 1962, could not
have been possible without informed voters, and recognizes that the
leaders of this community have given of their own time and their own
money to publicize and make possible the continuation of Santa Ana's
~1-
leadership in water supply, the most essential and most critically
short single factor in the continued growth, health or even existence
of industrial, c~mmercial and residential life on a metropolitan
basis in this semiarid county;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That said City Council wishes hereby
to express the appreciation of all informed citizens of the City and
the special thanks of the individual Council Members to the members
of the Water Committee, the Industrial Division of the Santa Aha
Chamber of
Chamber of Cc~unerce, the Santa Aha Junior/Cc~unerce and the Santa Aha
Chamber of Commerce for the splendid job done in presenting the facts
to the voters of the City of Santa Aha and for the fine civic leader-
ship displayed by the individual members of these organizations in the
work done by them to insure that the City voters would have the infor-
mation necessary for them to vote intelligently.
