In Summary:

1. Water Rates: Keep rates low, make sure new projects are cost effective. After 9 years with the California Drinking Water Program I am qualified to ask the right questions to make sure the rate payers money is spent wisely.
2. Water Quality: Ensure that the District is prepared to meet all State and Federal drinking water regulations. My experience and knowledge of the California Drinking Water Regulations will help me make affective decisions.
3. Water Conservation: Support and research ways to reduce demand on Colorado River Water. Support and promote the Water Conservation Garden to help the community landscape wisely.

Kathleen Coates Hedberg is running for the Helix Water Board because she has the experience and commitment to serve the people in this District well. Kathleen is concerned about the District's future and knows that we need to strongly consider and evaluate alternative water sources for irrigation (i.e. parks and golf courses, etc.) such as recycled water and groundwater. As well as, continuing to research and support other resources for drinking water (i.e. desalination and groundwater supplies).

Kathleen has been working in the water industry since she was a teenager, when she began interning at her father's civil engineering firm. With her experience with the State of California Drinking Water Program and with Aqualink Water Systems she has evaluated and inspected water and recycled water systems in several counties, and countries. This insight has given her a wealth of knowledge that will assist her in the proper evaluation of water systems and alternative water supplies to ensure that all systems are constructed properly and in accordance with regulations.
Kathleen wants to ensure that the water delivered by Helix Water District is safe and affordable.
Kathleen, a wife and mother of two, has been a resident of San Diego County for 25 years and has lived on Mt. Helix for over six years.

"The future of the Helix Water District is of utmost concern to me since I plan on watching my two children grow up here".
