As a elected official, what goals do you want to accomplish?

By John S. Purpura

Strive to improve the weak relationship between the City of Lake Elsinore and EVMWD.

Really work to find a long term source of good drinking water.

Establish a plan to provide sewer services to the people in my district who desire it.

If power line must be run across my district, I will strive to see that it will not affect the quality of living of the people in District #3.

I have been a local resident since 1981 and know every part of this community well. I have been Volunteer Consultant to Animal Friends of the Valley, past president of Wildomar Chamber of Commerce and current member of Lake Elsinore's Chamber and the Rotary Club. I was appointed to the Mayor's Library Committee and the Riverside County Child Care Consortium. I was a member of Water Board Task Force 2000 as well as the LEAPS hydro plant committee. I am a Vietnam veteran and current CEO of Linkline Communications, the area's largest Internet provider.

These are my goals if elected:

Bring up the standard of the wells in the district and make the existing one more efficient. Seek mutual agreements with other local water districts for cooperative water services contracts and purchace agreements.

Attempt to locate outside sources of funding necessary to finance more sewer hook-ups.

Do due diligence to finding the best routing for power lines that won't effect the standard and quality of life and living for the people living in my district.
