Letters: Gail Mahood’s Qualifications
| I am deeply impressed with Gail Mahood‘s qualifications as a candidate for San Lorenzo Valley Water District. As a scientist and retired professor of geology at Stanford University, Gail has relevant knowledge of our water systems and watershed. She understands our water district’s water supply issues and realizes the challenges that our unique geography and geology pose to maintaining safe, affordable water. Our water district staff have done a heroic job bringing water service back online after the devastating fire. Gail will help us make the decisions to bring pipelines up to modern standards, make cost benefit analysis that consider long-term safety from natural hazards, and make our water system more efficient. Gail understands watershed functions, wildfire risks and recovery, groundwater issues, natural hazards that impact district facilities and post-fire contamination of groundwater, distribution lines, and home plumbing by VOCs and toxic trace metals We are very fortunate to have her as a candidate. I look forward to her leadership and problem solving skills. Robin Musitelli, Brookdale |
