SAY NO TO THE MERCED WATER GRAB

The State Water Resources Control Board is executing a plan to divert huge amounts of Eastern Merced County's Water supply north to the Bay Delta. Tell Governor Newsom and the State Water Resources Control Board NO to this water grab.

Here’s what every person in eastern Merced County now stands to lose:
  • A robust and historic local water supply.
  • Hundreds of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in local economic activity.
  • Your community’s drinking water quality.
  • Environmental benefits in and along local streams.
  • Recreation at Lakes McClure and McSwain, including camping, fishing, boating and more.
  • Water flowing in local streams throughout the year, including Bear Creek

At issue is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta Water Quality Control Plan. With overwhelming community support, Merced Irrigation District has fought for years to stop the Water Board. Now time is running out and we need your support before it's too late. Sign the petition. Then head to www.SaveMercedsWater.com to write letters and contact elected leaders in Washington and Sacramento,
