𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻? | 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝗮 Charley Wilson is representing SCWC in Costa Mesa for the 18th Annual OC Water Summit, joining roughly 400 water leaders for a day of conversations about the issues shaping California’s water future. From major infrastructure projects and desalination to the Delta Conveyance Project and more, today’s discussions covered a lot of ground. But one message continued to rise to the surface: moving water forward takes courage. It takes leaders who are educated on the issues, understand what’s at stake and are willing to make the decisions necessary to move critical projects forward. That message hits home for us. Raising the urgency and importance of water and bringing people together around solutions is how we create the momentum needed to turn conversations into action. Thank you to SCWC General Member Municipal Water District of Orange County and SCWC Patron Member Orange County Water District for bringing California’s water community together for another important conversation about our shared water future. #OCWaterSummit

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻? | 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘀 From Charley’s seat at the 18th Annual OC Water Summit in Costa Mesa, one word kept coming to mind: courage. Roughly 400 water leaders came together to talk about some of California’s biggest water issues- major infrastructure projects, desalination, the Delta Conveyance Project and the investments needed to secure our water future. The issues may be different, but moving them forward requires informed leaders who are willing to make difficult decisions and have the courage to act. Thank you to SCWC General Member Municipal Water District of Orange County and SCWC Patron Member Orange County Water District for bringing California’s water community together for these important conversations.

💧 This week in California water: ✅ Sites Reservoir moves one step closer to reality ✅ Calls grow for a long-term funding strategy for water infrastructure ✅ California prepares for El Niño, but can we capture the water? Three stories. One takeaway: California needs more than plans. We need permits that work, funding that lasts, and infrastructure that captures water when it's available and delivers it when it's not. #CaliforniaWater #WaterNews #WaterInfrastructure #WaterStorage #SitesReservoir #WaterReliability #ElNino #SCWC

Hear from California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot on why collaboration among water agencies is helping advance the Sites Reservoir Project and why investing in water storage is critical to California's water future. @WadeCrowfoot @CalNatResources #BuildSitesNow

𝗔𝗜, 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 The conversation around AI and water just got even more relevant. Today, Governor Gavin Newsom signed seven bills addressing the growing impact of data centers on California’s water, electricity, and land use. The new legislation includes requirements for proposed data centers to disclose information about water use, supply, efficiency, and drought planning to local governments and water suppliers. This raises a much bigger conversation: As AI continues to expand, how do we balance technological innovation with responsible water management and the infrastructure needed to support it? That’s exactly what we explore in our upcoming episode of What Matters Water TV & Podcast! SCWC Executive Director Charley Wilson brings together voices from across the industry to discuss AI, data centers, resource management, and what California’s water leaders need to be thinking about as our digital economy continues to grow. It’s a timely conversation about the intersection of technology, water, and the future of California. 🔗 Read today’s announcement: gov.ca.gov/2026/09/21/govern… 🎧 Subscribe to What Matters Water TV & Podcast and stay tuned for our upcoming episode!
