CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING SANTA MARGARITA WATER
DISTRICT'S POSITION OPPOSING THE PROPOSED TAKEOVER BY
WHEREAS, the California -American Water Company has undertaken a hostile
takeover of the Santa Margarita Water District, proceeding with actions before the Local Agency
Formation Commission and the Public Utilities Commission without consulting with the elected
Board of Directors of the Santa Margarita Water District; and,
WHEREAS, this hostile action forced the Board of directors of the Santa Margarita
Water District to undertake independent evaluations of the California -American proposal at
considerable expense; and,
WHEREAS, the results of these independent analyses overwhelmingly showed the
California -American proposal to not be in the rate -payers' best interests, leading the City Council to
state its formal opposition to the California -American proposal; and,
WHEREAS, according to the staff of the Local Agency Formation Commission, the
Commission has received more than 500 comments opposed to the proposed California -American
takeover, none in support of the proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San
Juan Capistrano does hereby support Santa Margarita Water District's position opposing the
California -American Water Company takeover.
