MARY BONO\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, November 22, 2002\n\n  Mrs. BONO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding\nachievements of Tom Levy, who is retiring as the General Manager and\nChief Engineer of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD).\n  Mr. Levy has served the public for thirty years at CVWD, and has\nserved as General Manager for sixteen years. Under his tenure as\nGeneral Manager, the District's domestic water service more than\ndoubled, from less than 42,000 meters in 1986 to more than 86,000\ntoday. He was instrumental in numerous water conservation projects,\nincluding the Whitewater River Spreading Area facilities and the\ndevelopment of an Urban Water Management Plan. He also worked\nfeverishly for the last six years to bring about an agreement on the\napportionment of Colorado River water for Southern California that\nwould be satisfactory to CVWD, Imperial Irrigation District,\nMetropolitan Water District of Southern California, the State\nDepartment of Water Resources and the Department of the Interior.\n  He was appointed to California's Advisory Drought Planning Panel by\nGovernor Gray Davis, and has also served two terms as Chairman of the\nState Water Contractors, which oversees the State Water Project.\n  For his leadership in California water issues, he was honored as a\nrecipient of an Excellence in Water Leadership Award in 2000.\n  Even in retirement, Mr. Levy hopes to stay active in the water field,\nand will continue to provide whatever support the Coachella Valley\nWater District may need. It is my honor to acknowledge a man who\ndeserves the recognition of our Nation and this Congress.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2002-11-22-pt1-PgE2129-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 22.590187028981745, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
