Drought enters fourth year as voters shake up Santa Clara Valley Water District leadership
In an outcome that could change whether Silicon Valley’s largest water district moves forward with a $2.5 billion plan to build a new dam at Pacheco Pass, voters have shaken up the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board.
“I very much respect the will of the voters and wish the winner and the water district well,” Kremen said. Short of water, the district has pumped groundwater supplies, pushed conservation, and purchased water from farmers with senior rights in the Sacramento Valley, and other sources, often at very high prices.
Kremen has been a major supporter of the project, along with board members Tony Estremera, Dick Santos and John Varela. With Kremen leaving the board Dec. 2 when new board members are sworn in, the project’s future is in question. On Nov. 8, four of the district’s seven board members were up for re-election. Estremera, who has served 26 years on the board, won his race for another four-year term, defeating Chuck Cantrell, a member of the San Jose Planning Commission, and Diego Barragan, a former aide to San Jose city councilmembers Xavier Campos, Kansen Chu and Margie Mathews.
