Newsom Greenlights $2 Billion for SF Water System

Newsom quietly signed a bill late Friday that moves $1.9 billion for the $4.4 billion Water System Improvement Program. The water system siphons water from Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The plan, according to reports, will "upgrade the water system that supplies more than two million people in the San Francisco Bay Area with drinking water" and keep up hydrated, moisturized, and bathed clean in case of a major earthquake or drought.
