San Marcos: Council gets water update, appoints new commissioners

Posted by: Maven on June 24, 2009 at 6:50 am

From the North County Times:

The City Council on Tuesday got an update on the region’s water situation and appointed 10 people to fill open positions on two different city panels.

City Attorney Helen Holmes Peak also received the council’s OK to help plan a lawsuit that would challenge the constitutionality of a state proposal to take street maintenance money away from the cities and counties, at least temporarily, to close California’s budget gap. The League of California Cities is behind the potential lawsuit.

Area water officials have been warning for months that all of San Diego County would probably be forced to start conserving water this summer in response to two years of dry winters and a court order that restricted the pumping of water to the region from Northern California.

Conservation became mandatory for San Marcos residents in May when the Vallecitos Water District declared a Level 2 drought alert.
