While East Bay MUD has a pretty good conservation program, it could do even better. (There are places in Southern California that use less water per person.) By conserving at a higher level, EBMUD wouldn't need any new dry-year water supply. The long-term solution for Mokelumne River conservation is National Wild and Scenic River designation. If people want to keep our river a river, they should sign on to support that designation at www.foothillconservancy.org or at the Foothill Conservancy booth at the Amador County Fair. Most people in the East Bay have no idea their water supply comes from this wonderful river. If you have friends or family in the East Bay, please ask them to send an e-mail to EBMUD from our website or write their EBMUD director to urge the utility to leave the Mokelumne alone.
