San Diego County Water Authority reacts
Yesterday the San Diego County Water Authority had a busy day. First it suspended its artificial turf incentive program in response to a Centers for Disease Control health advisory that cited concerns about lead levels found in certain kinds of artificial turf recently tested in New Jersey.
The Water Authority says in a news release issued Thursday that it will suspend its program as a precautionary measure until more definitive information and a recommendation on the safety of artificial turf is made available by the CDC or other proper public health and consumer product regulatory agencies.
The Water Authority also is requesting the concurrent suspension of all other water agency artificial turf incentives within its service area. To read this news release, click here.
Then, the Water Authority increased the 2009 water rates by 11.9 percent. In a news release issued yesterday the Water Authority states that regionwide, they estimate that the rate increase's impact on the average household's monthly water bill will be $3.42. To read this news release, click here.
