Water issues may seem like no new thing for Southern Californians who are used to hearing about droughts and water shortages in a semi-arid environment. But as Gil Ivey, the chief administrative officer of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and a CBAPP advisory board member explains, turning on the tap isn’t as inconsequential as it used to be. The Metropolitan is a wholesaler that provides water to 26 municipal districts from the City of Los Angeles to the City of San Diego. Here, he details what’s different about the current water shortage, how it might affect businesses’ bottom line, and what simple steps you can take to do your part.
