Book Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) is currently reevaluating its vision for its role in the Southern California water industry. This vision is about how water is priced and allocated in Southern California. It is about the set of policies and programs that determine infrastructure investments and how they are paid for. And, perhaps most fundamentally, it is about the division of responsibilities between MWD and the private and other public agencies involved in importing, storing, treating and distributing water in Southern California. This paper identifies the key issues that such a vision must address and explores a range of policy options for each. It's goal is to help the MWD board and other stakeholders more effectively develop, discuss, and evaluate alternative visions. The analysis draws on over 100 in-person and telephone interviews with a broad range of individuals and organizations. The perspectives represented include MWD directors, MWD staff, staff of MWD member agencies, agriculture, private water suppliers, environmental groups, the financial and business community, California legislators, state and federal agencies involved in water issues, and water policy experts. The interviews were conducted between July and September 1998 by staff from RAND, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bookman-Edmonston Engineering, Psomas, and The Solis Group. This work is funded by MWD.

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
Author: Elaine M. Howle
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437900089
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
The Southern Calif. District¿s broad interpretation of the purposes for which it can spend public funds has led to policies governing expenses that generally are not well-defined and do not always ensure that expenses have a direct link to the district¿s authorized purposes. For example, the district financially sponsors numerous organization¿s activities without justifying the direct link to the purposes for which the district was created. Additionally, more than 4 years after the enactment of legislation that directed it to create an ethics office, the district still is trying to establish an effective one. Further, the district has not always established adequate policies and procedures for its purchasing and consulting contracts. Charts and tables.
