RESOLUTION NO. 2085
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
AND ENDORSING THE PACIFIC SOUTHWEST PRO-
JECT ACT PROPOSED BY THE SIX AGENCY COM-
MITTEE REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA USERS
OF COLORADO RIVER WATER.
WHEREAS, S. 1658, authorizing the Central Arizona Project,
is pending before the Congress and such bill if enacted would create seri-
ous water supply problems for Southern California and would impede the
solution of the water supply problems of the Pacific Southwest and the en-
tire Colorado River Basin; and
WHEREAS, Secretary of the Interior Udall has proposed a
Pacific Southwest Water Plan which if adopted would ultimately result in
abandonment of the Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River Aqueduct,
which now furnishes a source of water for nine million people, without
assuring an adequate replacement supply of water for Southern California
and without providing a solution to the many other existing and future
Colorado River water supply problems; and
WHEREAS, the Six Agency Committee, representing the users
of Colorado River water in Southern California, has caused to be drafted
a proposed Pacific Southwest Project Act for the purpose of meeting the
present and future water demands of the Pacific Southwest region by pro-
viding for the transfer of water from areas of surplus to areas of deficiency;
and
WHEREAS, said proposed act would provide for protection of
existing California uses of Colorado River water to the extent of 4, 400, 000
acre -feet per year, would authorize the Central Arizona Project, Dixie
Project, and Southern Nevada Water Supply Project and Moapa Valley Pump-
ing Project, and would require investigation and report by the Secretary of
the Interior as to additional supplies of water to sustain the present develop-
ment of the region, provide for normal growth, improve the quality of the
water in the River and reduce the potential problems for the Upper Basin
of the Colorado River:
