GAIL MORTON
Experienced Leadership
Water and wastewater removal at a reasonable cost is a top concern for all Marina Coast ratepayers – no one’s access to water should become a financial burden. As a current MCWD director, I focus on ensuring MCWD provides a ready source of clean, reliable, and inexpensive water—now and in the future.
Today, seawater intrusion and over-pumping pose grave problems for our water supply, and on the legal front, the battle against CalAm’s invasion of our aquifer continues. Countering these threats will require development of new water sources, smarter conservation and use of recycled water, alert investment in infrastructure and technologies, strong alliances with state and regional agencies, and community buy-in.
I have served as Mayor Pro Tem and City Councilmember for the City of Marina, a Board Director for the Fort Ord Reuse Authority, and a Non-Profit Director. I bring experience, bold leadership, and legal skills to the job of maintaining the financial stability of MCWD, promoting prudent rate management, and protecting the district’s ability to fund needed projects.
