Lake Elsinore, CA—Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) congratulates Adán Ortega, Jr. on his reelection to a two-year term as Chair of the Metropolitan Water District’s (MWD) Board of Directors. Mr. Ortega’s visionary leadership and commitment to advancing innovative water policies have been instrumental in addressing the significant water challenges facing Southern California, particularly in the context of California’s increasingly hotter, drier climate.
“Adán’s leadership has been a key asset in driving forward policies that support regional water reliability and sustainability,” said EVMWD Board President, Chance Edmonson. “His continued focus on collaboration will play a vital role in securing our water future. We look forward to working alongside him and the entire MWD Board as we navigate the complexities of water management in Southern California.”
During his tenure, Mr. Ortega has been a strong advocate for regional collaboration and water efficiency initiatives, ensuring that local agencies, including EVMWD, are well-supported in their efforts to address water supply challenges. In May 2024, Mr. Ortega visited EVMWD and met with district leadership and staff to learn more about EVMWD’s unique needs and challenges.
EVMWD remains committed to working closely with Mr. Ortega and the MWD Board to advance solutions that will benefit our community and the entire region.
