CCWD Thanks Lungren

SAN ANDREAS, CA – Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) Board members and
staff met with Congressman Dan Lungren to express thanks and share ideas to improve
regional economy utilizing its most precious asset – water.
As a long-time supporter of CCWD, Congressman Lungren continues to be instrumental
in the District’s efforts to secure federal funds during tough economic times. Since his
last visit at the District in 2010, CCWD has worked with U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other
federal and state agencies to identify funding opportunities to implement much-needed
projects in the county.
“Since my last visit, it’s great to see so much has happened, and I will continue to work
with my staff to support CCWD in providing regional benefit and leadership,” said
Congressman Lungren.
CCWD representatives provided an overview of pending state and federal applications,
which include the Big Trees Redwood Storage Tank project and the Vallecito-Douglas
Flat Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion. The presentation also addressed CCWD’s
ongoing efforts to expand delivery of its rich water supply throughout the county and
meet the growing demand.
Congressman Lungren offered valuable insights and guidance to help the District better
understand the nature of the current federal budget process and plan for its future
needs. The CCWD Board President Jeff Davidson stated on behalf of the Board, “We
really appreciate Congressman Lungren and his staff’s support over the years, and we
thank him for taking the time to meet with us one on one to see how else he can help
us.”
