What We've Done Together

By Harry Norris

Some things which I have been able to accomplish include:

• Reduced water rates for EDH customers.
• Slashed the budget and reduced spending.
• protected our water rights.
• Pushed for more recycle water use.
• Championed construction of a solar plant.

I made the motion to cut the 2010 and subsequent budgets an additional one million dollars, which slashed almost seven million from the original proposal. EID came in under budget for 2010 and is slated to come in under budget again in 2011.

I approved reducing the Capital Improvement Plan by 55 mi1lion over the next five years. EID will spend only the minimum required to deliver safe, clean, reliable services.

When bullying bureaucrats tried to steal our water at Folsom Reservoir, I insisted that we fight them. We sued and won, so that EDH residents will have water, even in dry years.

I pushed for more recycle water use to save money for recycle water users and to preserve precious water supplies.

I championed the solar electric plan at the El Dorado Hills Waste Water Treatment plant. It saves EID ratepapers money while protecting the environment.
