Ballot Statement:
As a Director of the Irvine Ranch Water District for the past 38 years, I have played a large role in making the District a nationally recognized leader. We pioneered the use of recycled water, promoted water conservation, funded a program to help replace plant and equipment, and adopted an innovative and low cost bond financing program.
 
 IRWD has gone from 95% dependency on expensive imported water to where more than 80% of our water is local, more reliable and less costly. 
 
I spearheaded the creation of the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary where urban runoff is naturally treated, while providing needed habitat and accessible public open space.
 
I was a Founding Director and Chairman for four years of the National Water Research Institute promoting increased research to improve water quality.
 
We have achieved this high level of service and reliability while maintaining rates that are by far the lowest in the County.
 
You have my continued commitment to keep the District an innovative leader dedicated to providing quality service that is reasonably priced and environmentally sensitive and consistent with the high standards of the community we live in.
 
Please Re-elect Peer Swan
