Coachella Valley Water District: nonpotable water use.

Existing law, the County Water District Law, governs the operations of the Coachella Valley Water District. Existing law prohibits a person or local public agency from using, within the district's service area, water from any source that is suitable for potable domestic use for nonpotable uses for cemeteries, parks, highway landscaped areas, new industrial facilities, and golf course irrigation if the board of directors of the district determines that suitable nonpotable water is available, as specified, and other requirements are met. This bill would add the use of potable domestic water for landscaped common areas of residential developments maintained by a homeowner's association as a prohibited use if the board of directors of the district determines that suitable nonpotable water is available. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Coachella Valley Water District.
