My Promise

By Steven Allen Grasha

Over the past Thirty years as a Coachella Valley resident, I have observed tremendous growth valley wide. The Coachella Valley, land of big desert lawns and verdant golf courses, gulps down a staggering 736 gallons a day per person, five times as much as residents of San Jose or Los Angeles. To meet the water needs of our increased population and farming requirements, we must redouble our efforts to implement plans that will continue to provide adequate, excellent quality water at an affordable price to consumers. This will be accomplished by developing additional storage capacity, increased conservation and importation of water supplies for replenishment of our very limited and precious water resources.

My background as a Water Systems Engineer spans thirty years of working on projects in the water environment. Prior to retirement, I was founder and President of TrueFog, USA - having worked on thousands of water related projects world-wide.

I am best known in the Coachella Valley business community as the creator of the Residential Misting System. In 1992 I was honored by Palm Springs Mayor Sonny Bono when he credited me with single handedly creating the year round business economy in the Coachella Valley. TrueFog, USA is a company dedicated to the proper and efficient use of our customer water resources.

My experience and dedication to sound management practices will be a definite asset when I am elected as your Director of Division 1 of The Coachella Valley Water District representing, Desert Hot Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, Cathedral City and portions of Riverside County.

I ask for your vote and confidence that I will serve our communities interest.

Thank you

Steve Grasha
