APSP held a California drought meeting on September 28 in Irvine with Southern California Chapter members to talk about recent successes before city councils and ways to engage all industry members for future meetings.
John Withers, an elected Board Member from the Irvine Ranch Water District, also spoke to the group regarding regional and statewide water supply problems. He urged the industry to stay strong in making the case that pools and spas are not a problem, but an economic, lifestyle and health contribution to California.
