Water continues to be a hot topic for all in California and particularly those in the north & central rural counties, the main origin for much of the states water supply. Mr. Coco has served on the EID Board since 2014 and is seeking a second term. He represents Division 4 ratepayers who live and work in Cameron Park, Bass Lake and portions of El Dorado Hills, and Shingle Springs.
Dale Coco, is respected for his knowledge about water in El Dorado County & the State, and has the ability to easily explain what are often very complicated water issues. Coco opposes Governor Jerry Brown’s Delta Tunnel Project, and recently introduced his “Ratepayer Protection Plan” to protect ratepayers by championing common sense management practices, therefore ensuring a safe and reliable source of water for EID ratepayers, for years to come.
State of Jefferson meetings are open to the public. There will be a question & answer period, when people might want to ask Mr. Coco, about the 2022 water rationing legislation or Proposition 3, a new $8.7 billion water bond that is on the November ballot.
