Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) features our own GM Rick Shintaku as the Water Utility Executive for February 2025. Check out the featured article "Rick Shintaku Balances Sustainability and Fiscal Responsibility at South Coast Water District"
It’s the end of February—Do you know what that means? The February edition of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) Water Utility Executive is out! This month’s theme explores #water #utility #finances and features compelling articles you won’t want to miss, including a member spotlight on South Coast Water District. In the article, General Manager Rick Shintaku shares his approach to #water #management, discussing how his #financial foresight and #innovation align with #environmental goals, particularly through projects like the Doheny Ocean Desalination Project and more. “The future of water is about innovation, whether that’s through desalination, water recycling, or smarter infrastructure,” he states. “But it’s also about ensuring these solutions are financially viable. We have to plan for the long term, making decisions today that will pay off for decades to come.” Additionally, the newsletter includes articles such as “The First Month of Trump 2.0: What Does It Mean for Water?” In this piece, AMWA Manager of Regulatory Affairs Kaline Gabriel, MPH and Manager of Legislative Affairs Megan Seymour examines the early actions of President Trump’s second administration, including executive orders, #regulatory changes, and #congressional budget negotiations—and their potential impacts on water sector policies and #funding. Don’t miss this issue!

Following the recent landslide at Thousand Steps Beach in Laguna Beach, our team at SCWD was quick to respond, ensuring the integrity of our infrastructure. We are relieved to report that our Sewer Pipeline Tunnel has been thoroughly inspected and remains unaffected by the landslide. Our proactive measures help keep our environment safe from sewage spills to our oceans and creeks. Thank you to our dedicated Sanitary Operations team for their swift action! ??
