WDR update letter and public comment: build resilient systems.

The State Water Board passed the updates to the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements December 6, 2022, with a compliance date of June 5, 2023. Resilience planning is required as part of the SSMP. Chris Ewers spoke twice to the Water Board in public workshop sessions on how to improve the draft requirements to make them more effective. In a letter to Diana Messina, shown here, we say what makes resilience planning uniquely valuable for water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities.
