“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Paul Helliker, who is general manager of the San Juan Water District that serves 180,000 customers surrounding Folsom Lake, said he is concerned about some of the restrictions imposed during the recent drought.“There were some unintended consequences,” Helliker said. “Trees died in different areas of the state, and I don't think anyone wants to see the urban forest be diminished. We heard during the drought from businesses that do power washing for example, that they were not able to do their business according to those rules."The challenge is finding a balance that encourages water conservation while not putting employers out of business. The new regulations will generate more public input. If approved, the rules would be applied statewide beginning in April of next year. In the meantime, it will be up to local water agencies to enforce the rules against wasting water. AlertMe... (KCRA Sacramento)
