SUBJECT: POTENTIAL DRINKING WATER HEALTH RISK DUE TO
DELTA LEVEE FAILURES-
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENbATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
The loss caused by recent flooding due to Delta levee
failures is a tragedy. However the effect it presents to
the drinking water must be• examined.
In November of 1985 I wrote John DeVito, Executive Director
of Contra Costa Water District to determine what contingency
plan would be put in place if levee failure occurred,
causing increased levels of high salinity ocean water to
enter at Rock Slough. To date I have received no response.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refer to the Water Committee for investigation and report to
the Board.
