California's Water System is Highly Vulnerable to an Earthquake; Conference Invites Government Officials Responsible for Water Supply to Gear up for the Next Earthquake.

NEW YORK -- According to David Wanetick, Managing Director of The Wall Street Transcript, "Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma are painful reminders of the ruthless destruction that natural events can wreck on crucial infrastructure. Statistically, California is long overdue for another significant earthquake. The impact of a 1906-magnitude earthquake could have catastrophic ramifications for California's water purity and deliverability."

Mr. Wanetick continued, "It is important to note that California is not alone in its vulnerability to earthquakes as there have been at least 26 American cities that experienced significant earthquakes and that are at risk for another earthquake. We are pleased that several of our speakers will deliver critical insight into the vulnerability of the nation's water systems to earthquakes as well as provide best practices for preparing for such eventualities."

In light of the risk that the next earthquake will present for the ability of water systems to deliver water to their customers, The Wall Street Transcript is reserving a limited number of seats for government officials responsible for water security, water delivery and water purity to attend the most successful conference this winter at deeply discounted prices.
