Nicolas' Priorities for San Gabriel Valley

In today's economy, working families are struggling with rising costs. I've seen my own family face difficult choices due to utility bills. Families should not have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for essential utilities.As a young adult, Nicolas often heard his family discuss the strain of utility bills, a topic all too familiar to many families. As your Director, I will:<ul><li>Proactive Rebate Programs: Explore different rebate options, including increased amounts on a sliding scale based on income. This initiative aims to ease the financial burden on families, ensuring equitable accessibility to cost-saving measures.</li><li>Technical Assistance: Offer support for the installation of water-saving technologies purchased through rebates. By providing expert assistance, we can ensure that residents fully benefit from these programs.</li><li>Water-Wise Solutions: Promote the use of water-wise plants through rebates to reduce water usage and costs, turning every garden into a model of cost-effective sustainability.</li></ul>

Saving Costs for Residents

Despite being the largest city in the SGVMWD, our community has not received our fair share of funding. As a lifelong Alhambran and a product of local public schools, Nicolas understands the importance of adequate resources for educational institutions and our greater community.&nbsp;Nicolas recalls the outdated facilities at his own school and the impact it had on learning.As your Director, I will:<ul><li>Support Local Schools: Work with school districts to fund hydration stations and advanced irrigation technology. Ensuring students have access to clean drinking water and green spaces can significantly improve their school experience.</li><li>Community Projects: Implement rain capture systems at schools and government buildings, and support water-wise plant installations in parks. These projects not only conserve water but also serve as educational tools for our youth.</li><li>Grant Acquisition: In 2023, nearly half of the District’s grant money was allocated to Sierra Madre – the wealthiest city in the District; leaving Alhambra virtually nothing despite being the largest city. I’ll actively seek grants to support infrastructure projects, ensuring that our water district is both efficient and effective.</li></ul>

Uplifting Small Businesses

Growing up the son of immigrants, Trustee Nicolas Kiet Quach understands the need for accurate representation. Despite the SGVMWD being comprised of a significant percentage of Asian American and Latino residents, this seat has not adequately represented these communities.As a community leader, Nicolas witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by underrepresented communities. He saw how lack of outreach often left his neighbors uninformed about resources.As your next Water Board Director, I will:<ul><li>Inclusive Representation: Ensure that all communities receive the attention and resources they deserve. This means actively engaging with community stakeholders and holding regular forums to hear directly from residents.</li><li>Accessible Services: Provide local accessibility at local community centers &amp; Libraries to rebate information and assistance, eliminating the need for residents to travel to the SGVMWD’s Azusa Office for older residents.</li></ul>
