Dear Ms McCaig:
Re: Support of the Colorado WaterWise Council Grant Application
The mission of Western Resource Advocates mission is to protect and restore the
Interior West's land, air and water. In performing our mission, we fully embrace the
importance of water conservation, water use efficiency and wise water use in our
community's efforts to manage our most precious water resources now and into the
future.
Our organization applauds the CWCB for developing, maintaining and administrating its
water conservation and water efficiency grant programs, and we will continue to show
our support for these important state programs into the future. In addition, we recognize
the importance of communications and technical assistance in helping to promote and
support more meaningful water conservation statewide, which is the underlying goal of
the CWCB grant programs.
To help move water conservation to the next level, our organization fully supports the
project for an Executive Director being proposed by the Colorado WaterWise Council
(CWWC} to the Colorado Water Conservation Board. We strongly encourage the
CWCB and the Office of Water Conservation and Drought Planning to consider the
merits of the CWWC grant application and award the requested funds to this worthwhile
and important program that will benefit water managers, basin roundtable members and
water conservation experts statewide.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
`~~~ ~~
