Candidate Statement For Appointment To OCWD -Agenda Item #10 – 6/2/22 Meeting
CITY OF ANAHEIM- District 79 Rep of OCWD
NAME: HARI SHANKAR LAL ESQ, BA \[SFU-Can\], JD \[WSU\], PhD \[KFU\].
OCCUPATION: Consumer Advocate Lawyer in the City of Anaheim
Hon. Interim Mayor and City Councilman
As a Candidate for the appointment to OCWD, I submit the following statement of interest in being
selected to Represent City of Anaheim on OCWD. As you may recall, I am a Consumer Advocate
Lawyer practicing Law in the City of Anaheim for past 44 years and have been a resident of Anaheim
District 4 &5 and Now in District 6 for past 47 years. During these most difficult times for the City, I
come forward to share my experiences, knowledge and skill in the area of Water Perseverance, Surface
Water purification and Reuse, Sea Water Intrusion and the need to turn recycle water into drinkable
water etc.
Apart from being the President of Anaheim Ridge -HOA and Delegate to the Board of Anaheim Hills
Property owners Community Association \[AHPCA-2,500 Homes\], I also serve as the Founder of Anaheim
Citizens for Transparency \[ACFT\]- A Citizens Group consisting of 1690 residents of Anaheim. I am also a
Co Chair and Board Member of Anaheim Hills- Santiago Geological Hazard Abatement District
\[GHAD\]- a State Agency- Monitoring Dewatering Wells \[74\] in Anaheim Hills and Santiago River Basin
including but not limited to Monitoring Surface Water and Underground Water including the Water basin
and OCTW Dept Aquifers along the Santiago Basin. My involvement with the GHAD for past 14 years and
Water Conservation Community Groups in Anaheim gives me an ample qualification for this appointment.
My Wife, Dr Purnima H. Lal and I have raised our family \[2 Daughters-both Medical Doctors\] and lived in
Anaheim- A City we Love dearly. I have volunteered at our schools, churches and neighborhood groups
including Anaheim Neighborhood Development Council, Boy Scouts, Little League and Love Anaheim
including Boy & Girls Club of Anaheim. Our family initiated the community group called Canyon 2 Fire
Anaheim Hills Animal Rescue Club and helped save lives of many wild animals during the Fire.
While Anaheim’s water supply is a blend of groundwater from our own wells and water imported from
Northern California and the Colorado River by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
(MWD), the Orange County Water District (OCWD) is an internationally recognized leader in the water
industry and its international reach is growing with its technology and expertise. OCWD takes the limited
water supply found in nature and supplements it to provide water for more than 2.5 million people in Orange
County and more than 348,000 residents in Anaheim, California. OCWD manages and replenishes the
basin, ensures water reliability and quality, prevents seawater intrusion, and protects Orange County's rights
to Santa Ana River water. Its leadership in water purification and potable reuse - turning recycled water into
drinking water - has been recognized worldwide. Its Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) is the
largest facility of its kind in the world. Committed to sharing information, OCWD has influenced the
creation of water recycling projects around the globe.
I would be honored to have your vote and to be your Voice at OCWD. I hope the City Council shall
appoint me for this immediate opening and any stipend and wages or salary received from this
appointment by OCWD shall be donated to Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim for special education
tutorials and ANAHEIM CITIZENS for Transparency etc.
Sincerely
HARI SHANKAR LAL
