I loved catching-up with some of my favorite

#WomenInWater, meeting new friends, and

trading insights on water‐wise landscaping!

Thank you to anybody who attended my session,

bright and early, in full glam Wednesday morning!

— Dani Luna Morgutia, Long Beach Utilities

“Chair E. Joaquin Esquivel and the State Water

Board's Conservation Program team co-hosted the

Global Strategies, Local Action (workshop) to tackle

complex water challenges and discuss opportunities.

A big thank you to all the hosts and participants!”

— State Water Board

“We had an afternoon

of great presentations.

I even ended up

giving an impromptu

talk on Municipal

Water District of

Orange County’s Leak

Detection program

when another speaker

was unable to make it.

Being committee vice

chair is keeping me on

my toes!”

— Rachel Davis,

MWDOC

“Agency consolidation

is the answer.

Restructuring is the

politically correct way

to solve our water

challenges. Studies

show 20,000 customer

connections or more is

the ideal size for a water

utility. They are more

efficient, affordable,

and successful by a

large margin.”

— Professor Teodoro

“It's not that hard to get safe

drinking water if you start off

in the right direction.”

– Chad Seidel, Corona Environmental

Consulting, Opening Session Speaker

I learned a lot about

water meters and

AMI. I even met

Chip roaming the

hallways (or is it

Dale?). I am not sure

which character

photo bombed

this selfie.
