Candidate's Statement

By William Schoeffler

As we all know water is a valuable and limited resource. How we use water will help shape our community. The way we misuse our water reflects on the people of the community. The board members of the Valley of the Moon Water District play a pivotal role in guiding the future for the people and businesses of the Sonoma Valley.

I do not have any pet agenda issues. Instead these key principles will guide me:

 Sustainable Water Supply - Water is a limited resource and should be used wisely. We need to make sure everyone uses water in a conservative and efficient manner.

 Safety and Preparedness - Our water needs to be clean and secure from contamination and other threats. We need to be confident in the consistent distribution of our supply despite potential disasters such as earthquakes.

 Protect the Environment - Our collection, distribution and use of water should be done in an environmentally friendly manner. All activities should be done in a manner that minimizes adverse impact to the land and wildlife.

 Cost Effective - All activities should be done in a cost-effective manner so that the cost of water is as low as possible. Creative and innovative ideas to lower costs need to be developed and used.
