By Ezra David Romero<\/strong><\/p>\n

California farmers and environmental justice leaders are joining forces to support a bill that would help fund a clean drinking water program.<\/p>\n

The coalition, which includes the\u00a0Community Water Center<\/a>, is urging California Assembly leaders to bring\u00a0\u00a0SB623<\/a>, the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund to a vote, instead of tabling it until the next legislative session. If passed, the law would fund long-term operations and maintenance of water systems for the 300 plus California communities dealing with water contamination.<\/p>\n

Alyssa Houtby, with the trade association\u00a0California Citrus Mutual<\/a>, says the ag world realizes farming practices have tainted water supplies with contaminants like nitrates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the farming practices of today significantly reduce or eliminate the potential for nitrates to reach groundwater, the problem still exists and it must be addressed in an equitable and balanced manner,\u201d Houtby says.<\/p>\n

Capital for the fund would be collected by placing a fee on fertilizer, dairies and on monthly water bills. Chris Valadez, with the\u00a0California Fresh Fruit Association<\/a>, says the bill is important because it focuses on all Californians \u2013 including farmers \u2013 taking responsibility for drinking water issues in the state. \u201cThis overcomes long-running obstacles of what has been a limited focus onto small regions and maybe one industry,\u201d says Valdez. \u201cI think this bill does it . . . by expanding this to a statewide issue and a statewide generation of resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virginia Gurrola, former mayor of the City of Porterville, says she has a message for legislators deciding on whether to vote on the bill this legislative session. She says they need to think about the children that live in disadvantaged communities with contaminated water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese children deserve to go to their homes, to their schools, to their churches and turn on their water and have clean tap water,\u201d says Gurola. \u201cThat\u2019s what it\u2019s about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill now sits in the Assembly and if it isn\u2019t passed by Sept 15, it will have to sit idle until the legislature reconvenes in January.<\/p>\n
