Water Bond: What it Means Here

E-MAIL STORY

The state Legislature this morning approved an $11.1 billion package to address California's water reliability issues. Voters will have to approve the bond next November.

So what's in it for San Diego?

At least $227 million in grants and financing for various water projects, including storage. Those include:

$100 million for emergency storage projects.

$40 million in grants for the region; $20 million of that is earmarked for the San Diego River Conservancy, which works to restore the river that runs from Ocean Beach to Julian.

$87 million for other unspecified projects throughout the region.

I have a call into the San Diego County Water Authority to see what else is in the legislation and what plans it has for some of the money outlined above.
