California Senate Passes Bill That Would Boost Stormwater Capture Projects

A bill that would make it easier for local agencies to build projects to capture storm water and boost water supplies has passed the California state Senate. The measure, authored by Democratic state Senator Bob Hertzberg of Van Nuys, would change the way the projects could be financed. Proponents of the legislation say projects that clean, capture and recycle storm water can’t get built very easily in California.
