Kightlinger, Jeffrey — Metropolitan Water District
General Manager
Metropolitan Water District
THE LATEST: Under Kightlinger's leadership, the Metropolitan Water District last year opened the Regional Recycled Water Advanced Purification Center, which can process 500, 000 gallons per day. The facility is a major step toward a possible a 150-million-gallon-per-day plant, which would be the world's largest water recycling plant and put Southern California on a path toward water independence. MWD also assisted Congress' drought planning on the Colorado River and supported a bill to ensure that disadvantaged California communities have access to safe drinking water.
BACKGROUND: For 14 years Kightlinger has managed the MWD, the largest supplier of drinking water in America. MWD is comprised of 26 member agencies and delivers water for 19 million people. Kightlinger also serves on the UCLA Sustainability Board and the Los Angeles Economic Development Council. He graduated from UC Berkeley and has a law degree from Santa Clara University.
