Survey shows strong support for local water district 

water basin surveyA new local organization, Citizens Advocating for Local Management of the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin (CALM), announced today the results of a ten question survey emailed to more than 2,000 property owners over the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin.

The survey results say 71-percent of property owners prefer to form a local public water district to manage the basin, rather than have the county or state manage it. Results are based on voluntary responses from 231 landowners. The margin of sampling error is ±6 percentage points at a 95% confidence level, according to the organization.

The survey was conducted May 28 to June 15, 2015. The complete survey, with the response percentages to each question is here.

Survey details: The County Assessors roll was used to identify properties within the proposed district boundaries. Where multiple people showed as owners of a property, only one survey request was sent. An owner or owners of multiple properties only received one survey. The survey software allows recipients to respond once to the survey and prevents them from forwarding it to others.
