Governor Brown to Help Cities Bolster Water Waste
Enforcement, Streamline Environmental Review of
Water Projects
4-28-2015
SACRAMENTO – Governor Brown, meeting with mayors from across the
state, today announced he will propose legislation to help local officials
better enforce conservation requirements and will direct state agencies to
streamline environmental review of local water supply projects.
“These measures will strengthen the ability of local officials to build new
water projects and ensure that water is not wasted,” said Governor Brown.
“As this drought stretches on, we’ll continue to do whatever is necessary
to help communities save more water.”
The proposed legislation will give new enforcement authority to local entities that don’t currently have it and increase potential penalties against
water wasters. It will specifically:
-Establish a new penalty of up to $10,000 per violation, expanding on
$500 per day maximum infraction established in last year’s drought legislation.
-Allow penalties to be issued administratively by wholesale and retail water
agencies, as well as city and county governments. This change speeds up
an infraction process involving courts that was established in last year’s
emergency drought legislation.
-Enable these entities to enforce local water restrictions against water
waste, as well as conservation restrictions established by the State Water
Resources Control Board.
-Allow local public agencies to deputize staff to issue water conservationrelated warnings and citations.
This legislation will give all water agencies and local governments a consistent, minimum set of enforcement authorities to achieve required water
conservation. Local water agencies with existing authorities to enforce
against water waste can continue to use those authorities. Under the proposed legislation, any monetary penalties from this enforcement will be
used for local conservation efforts.

Separately, to streamline environmental permitting for critical water supply
projects, the Governor has directed his Office of Planning and Research
and other state agencies to help local water agencies reduce the time required to comply with state-required environmental reviews. These permit
streamlining efforts will focus on projects that can increase local water
supplies with limited environmental impacts. The Governor’s Office will also
explore legislative changes that can speed-up delivery of critical water
supply projects.
California’s Drought Response
Earlier this month, Governor Brown announced the first ever 25 percent
statewide mandatory water reductions and a series of actions to help save
water, increase enforcement to prevent wasteful water use, streamline the
state's drought response and invest in new technologies that will make
California more drought resilient. This order included measures to help: replace lawns with drought tolerant landscaping and old appliances with
more water and energy efficient models; cut water use at campuses, golf
courses, cemeteries and other large landscapes; prevent potable water irrigation at new developments unless water-efficient drip systems are used;
and stop watering of ornamental grass on public street medians.
Within days of the Governor's order, the State Water Resources Control
Board released its framework [url"> to achieve the mandatory water reductions and the California Energy Commission approved new water appliance standards to save billions of gallons of water per year. The California
Department of Water Resources also announced that due to the severe
drought it will install an emergency, temporary rock barrier across a Sacramento San Joaquin Delta channel to help prevent the saltwater contamination of water that 25 million Californians depend on.
These measures build on unprecedented action by the State Water Resources Control Board over the past year to prohibit other wasteful water
use and encourage Californians to conserve, including strict limits on outdoor irrigation (two days a week in much of California) and bans on hosing
down outdoor surfaces, decorative water fountains that don't recirculate
water and car washing without an automatic shut-off nozzle. Bars and restaurants are also now required to only serve water upon request and hotels must ask guests staying multiple nights whether linens and towels
need to be washed.

Car Show
By Carol Smith
The “Where the Hell is Groveland” car club has disbursed the money received from
our last car show held in June of 2014.
After careful thought we gave $750 to the fundraiser for Alyssa Baker who is suffering
from a serious disease and has many medical expenses. We also gave $750 to the
Groveland Youth Center for their use in field trips, etc.
The club also gave $500 to the shoe program sponsored by the Rotary. This is an excellent program to ensure that all of our students have shoes on their feet. It was discovered that many of our students did not have shoes.
Tenaya School will be receiving a donation for supplies when the request comes in
from the school.
All of the earnings from our car show are given back to the community. We ask that
you support this yearly event by purchasing raffle tickets and/or engine tickets at the
event. This year’s event is Sunday, June 7 at Mary Laveroni Park. On Saturday,
June 6, we will have a poker run whose destination has yet to be determined.
Should you have any questions concerning this event feel free to contact Ron Smith
at 962-6119.
Hope to see you at our car show!

Digipix Photography
Rudy Manzo-Owner
209-962-1854
[email protected]
Rudy has been involved with photography since he was in Jr. High School
using him favorite Kodak Brownie to take pictures. He continued building
his camera inventory while in High School and also built a darkroom in the
family garage where he would spend hours developing film and learning
new techniques while enlarging photographs for final printing. While in the
service he was involved with aerial photography as well. While working for
AMF in New York City he attended the New York Institute of Photography
where he furthered his photography skills.
Rather than just sit around and try to look busy after retiring, he decided
to put his hobby to use and decided to start Digipix Photography. He convinced Nadele to help him take pictures during special events and parties
rather than just take pictures of her. She agreed and the new venture was
started. Digipix specializes in pet pictures mounted on canvas frames with
finish that makes the final image appear to be a painting. These are made
under the title DigiPetPix. Digipix will also take your digital images of special occasions and turn them into slide shows with music if so desired. This
is where Nadele becomes involved as her musical background is put to
good use in choosing the right music to make the slide show complete.
If you want to save old photographs and 35mm slides, you are encouraged
to call Digipix at 962-1854 to discuss this as they can convert these to
digital format and transfer these memories to DVD or CD format. Old picture will fade away as will the memories when the emulsion on the film
breaks down. Preserve those pictures now. If you need to have videography done for parties, special events, just call to discuss the project and
costs.
Digipix Photography is here to serve the needs of the community for whatever type of photography is required. By the way, if you watch the Channel
10 weather with Monica Woods, you might see some of his pictures being
shown. To date he has had 18 pictures shown on Channel 10 which highlight Groveland.
