Farewell
to
Bob Jones
Robert M. Jones, Director of Montecito
Water District since 1998 and its general counsel for one-half
century, died July 22, 2000. He was 84 years old.
In 1948, Jones joined the law firm of
Price, Postel and Parma. During his career, Bob represented
Montecito Water District and almost every other public agency in
Santa Barbara County.
Bob helped negotiate the original
water service contract for the Cachuma Project in the late 1940s,
and later helped guide Montecito through a long period of drought
during much of the 1970s and 1980s.
Bob will be missed as a respected
attorney, expert on water, community leader, and as a long time
friend and neighbor.

Periodically, severe natural droughts punish Montecito and
surrounding communities. Only a decade ago, Montecito was
wilting under a severe drought; leading to water rationing,
brown landscapes and trees dying of thirst. Since that time,
Montecito Water District has enhanced its water sources so that
if one becomes unavailable, others can help keep Montecito
green.
