The official arguments
These are the arguments filed with the county for the official voter guide. They are written by their authors, not by the city or by us. We summarize what each says, not whether it is accurate.
Argument in favor
Says Measure Z keeps the Urban Limit Line’s protections while allowing limited water and wastewater service just outside it. Says it would fund recycled water expansion, reduce groundwater pumping and septic systems, and could stabilize utility fees, and that residential development stays prohibited.
