A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM SUPPORTING
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION FOR CONGRESSIONAL
AUTHORIZATION TO LINE PORTIONS OF THE
ALL-AMERICAN CANAL AND ITS COACHELLA BRANCH.
WHEREAS, a significant amount of Colorado River water is
now lost in the process of delivering a major portion of
California's apportionment through the All-American Canal and
Coachella Branch; and
WHEREAS, these canals were originally constructed as
unlined earthen facilities, and have remained unlined for over
forty years; and
WHEREAS, lining the canals will make better use of
California's 4.4 million acre-foot annual apportionment of
Colorado River water; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has estimated
that it is cost-effective to line portions of the unlined sections
of the All-American Canal and Coachella Branch; and
WHEREAS, H.R. 3988, pending before the House Interior and
Insular Affairs Subcommittee on Water and Power Resources, would
authorize the Secretary of Interior to provide conservation
opportunities by lining the All-American Canal; and
WHEREAS, Congressional approval of H.R. 3988 will add to
the dependable water supplies of Southern California and help
avoid future water shortages to Anaheim and other Metropolitan
Water District member agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that City Council of the
City of Anaheim supports H.R. 3988 authorizing the Secretary of
the Interior to line the All-American Canal between Pilot Knob and
Drop 4, and the Coachella Branch between Siphon 7 and Siphon 32
and allowing the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California and other interested water agencies to finance the
project, without Federal participation, in return for the water
conserved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
directed to send a copy of this Resolution to those listed on
Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
