On Saturday, Nov. 8, Union City councilmember Jaime Patiño graduated from the WELL UnTapped Program. This is an intensive, six-week program that teaches water policy in California. Councilman Patiño’s cohort of nine joins the other 106 alumni in the fellowship.
Over the course of six months, the cohort met in different parts of the state to discuss water policy in the areas of: quality, storage, conveyance, ground water replenishment, recycling and waste water.
Councilman Patiño said, “I’m proud to have been a part of this program. Our cohort consisted of elected officials from across the state, from different political backgrounds and with different concerns about water policy. The bonds we have made here will last a lifetime.”
