La Palma Dear Congresswoman Napolitano:
Los Alamitos The increasing challenges of aging infrastructure, growing demands from an
Newport Beach increasing population, and climate impacts continue to stress our ability to
finance infrastructure needs. Confronted with these realities, there is clear
Orange demand for increased infrastructure investment, including the need to invest
in water recycling infrastructure and clean energy facilities derived from the
Placentia Wastewater treatment process.

Seal Beach of legislation of which you are an original co-sponsor: the Water Quality
Stanton Protection and Job Creation Act of 2017 (H.R. 2510). H.R. 2510 offers a
commonsense approach to address the critical water infrastructure needs of
Tustin agencies like OCSD by relying upon the success of the Clean Water State
Revolving Loan Fund. It is notable that the bill enjoys bipartisan support. For
Villa Park OCSD, this commitment is vital to ensure cost-effective financing for our
