🎉 Honoring a True Partner In Water   This week, the Las Virgenes-Triunfo Joint Powers Authority (JPA) directors and staff had the privilege of presenting a Proclamation of Recognition to Congresswoman Julia Brownley in honor of her extraordinary commitment to water security, water recycling, and the communities we serve. Congresswoman Brownley has been a steadfast partner of the JPA — from her days in the California State Legislature to her distinguished service in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her tireless advocacy for federal investment in water recycling through the Bureau of Reclamation has been instrumental in advancing the Pure Water Project Las Virgenes-Triunfo — a transformative initiative that will provide a new local, drought-resilient drinking water supply for the region. As Congresswoman Brownley departs office, we wanted to share our deep gratitude for her vision, her voice, and her partnership. Thank you, Congresswoman Brownley! 💧 Triunfo Water & Sanitation District Andy Coradeschi Carl Jarecky, • MBA/MA Jay Lewitt Leon E.

This week, Board Members and staff from the Las Virgenes–Triunfo JPA traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with our federal partners and discuss the future of water reliability in our region. Our conversations focused on strengthening long-term water resilience, including updates on the Pure Water Project , alternative water supply strategies, emergency preparedness, and funding opportunities to support critical water infrastructure investments. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with our federal partners as we continue advancing solutions that will help ensure a sustainable, reliable, and resilient water future for the communities we serve.
