California Governor Jerry Brown Ramps Up Conservation Enforcement

California Governor Jerry Brown says cities and water agencies should have the ability to enforce conservation requirements. He’s proposed legislation that would allow agencies to fine water-wasters up to $10,000 per violation.

The proposal would also streamline environmental review for proposed local water supply projects that would not have a huge impact on the environment.

Brown say the legislation would give all water agencies and local governments a consistent minimum set of enforcement rules.
