An act to amend Section 13520 of the Water Code, relating to water.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 824, as introduced, Gatto. Recycled water: recycling criteria.

Existing law, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, requires the State Department of Public Health to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water if the use involves the protection of public health. The act defines recycling criteria to mean the levels of constituents of recycled water, and the means for assurance of reliability under the design concept that will result in recycled water that is safe for the uses to be made.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that definition.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
