McNerney seeking to encourage statewide use of recycled water

State Senator Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, has introduced new legislation to help drought-proof California by boosting the use of recycled water.

Senate Bill 31 would also enhance the state’s fresh water supply by allowing businesses, homes, and agencies to expand their use of recycled water for irrigation and other uses, rather than relying on drinking water.

“Instead of water wars pitting one region of the state against the other, North versus South, California must develop commonsense solutions that enable us to use the water we have more efficiently,” said Sen. McNerney, who is also a member of the Delta Protection Commission.
