News from CASA… California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) recently reported that AB 2777 (Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials) is officially headed to Governor Newsom.

The modernization of the California Water Plan is driven by Senate Bill 72 (SB 72). This legislation sets a clear expectation: move statewide water planning from description to direction.
