Annual Precinct Meetings
Annual precinct meetings
will be held on March 11 this year, typically but not always at the
precinct polling place. At this year’s meetings, precincts will fill
any missing positions in the precinct leadership, elect delegates to
the County Convention, and get organized for the upcoming elections.
Precincts are the foundation of the Democratic Party in Orange County,
the grassroots party organizations. Precincts register voters, make the
person-to-person contacts that are most effective in getting voters to
the polls, and man the polling places on Election Day.
We have exciting and important races at all levels – local, state, and
national. In addition to full support for our local candidates, Orange
County Democrats must provide a big turnout for the state and national
elections, where the Democratic plurality in Orange County can make the
difference in the statewide races. A victory in November starts with
strong precinct organizations now. So attend your precinct meeting!

The OWASA Board has called a public forum on Thursday night, January 24th, regarding “The State of Our Local Water Supply” to inform the public and receive customers’ questions and feedback concerning about:
- Local water supply and demand and weather forecasts for coming months;
- Short and long-term financial implications and strategies for the drought;
- The options, costs and timetable for addressing the “Worst Case” drought scenario (no rainfall for many months); and
- Proposed changes in OWASA’s water conservation standards and parallel local water conservation ordinances to further limit outdoor irrigation in Stage Two and Stage Three water shortages. (Stage Two restrictions are now in effect.) The proposed changes would generally prohibit irrigation with hand-held hoses, soaker hoses, drip irrigation and micro-spray systems in Stage Two and all irrigation with OWASA drinking water would be prohibited in Stage Three.
