The other thing I wanted to mention, as the Vice Mayor mentioned, is that the range of sources we have is really a best practice.
You don't wanna have just one source of water.
you want to have some other sources so if something goes wrong with one, you can fill in with the other one.
And there was a while when we talked about kind of turning off our groundwater wells because we weren't really using them very much
regular basis, but after studying that for a while, we decided no, that wasn't a good idea because if wells go on and go off and go on and go off for a long period of time, they don't necessarily come on as well.
They work better if they're worked fairly regularly.
So that mix of sources we have is really a valuable asset to our community.
And it's something that we should be proud of.
And that's it.
Yeah, I wanted to make a couple comments.
One of the things that is part of this is things that are exempt from CEQA.
And I wanted to talk a little bit about the things that aren't exempt from CEQA to kind of...
maybe just to daylight them and maybe put some people's mind at ease.
Because there are certain things that really shouldn't be exempt from CEQA because the public needs to be protected.
And so you have those listed on table two, and particularly environmental conditions, like if it's over a hazardous waste site or a toxic waste site, they still have to do CEQA.
which is completely appropriate, or if it's located in a coastal zone, or in a floodway, or on a wetland, or in a very high fire area, areas where there really are significant environmental conditions that need to be considered.
They aren't exempted.
So I just wanted to bring that up.
I think that's a very important unexception
And I'm really glad to see that these important protections for the public and the environment are still included.
