This month on “Wonderful Water,” join 97.9 The Hill’s Andrew Stuckey for a conversation with Todd Taylor, executive director for OWASA, about the strategic plan to keep Orange County’s water system running smoothly and safely, and what the future holds for OWASA and its customers through the rest of 2023.
“We’re developing a climate action plan to address the impacts of climate change on our services, we’re working to ensure our services are equitable to our communities through investigating funding opportunities for connected unserved areas and evaluating our Care to Share program,” said Taylor. “We’ve begun work on a number of initiatives to improve the resiliency and reliability of our services, and we’re putting resources into improving our emergency preparedness and cybersecurity — especially in light of increased attacks on critical public service infrastructure worldwide. As these initiatives continue to grow and develop, our community will see more information and have opportunities to engage with us to better understand what we do and the challenges we are facing.”
