looking at is it's time for us to step it up at a board meeting, one director said. it is important to make sure that people making honest mistakes about water use are treated differently than those who are flagrantly violating the rules. but also if we're gonna be talking about fines at some point point. i think the fine has to fit the crime. um, some some person who over waters and lawn you know twice. uh just because they're they're elderly and don't know how to turn down their their water system shouldn't get the same fine that some elitist in one of our more fluid, uh, cities is watering, you know, five days a week, directors expressed concern the messaging about water use throughout santa clara county has been mixed and confused. different. have different rules for water. use. also their water. supply. from diff. sources. some water on san francis. had sketchy since. some get it important. from away. as, like. survey shin message is

just not getting through. indeed the public has not responded in the way that we want to. yes we have to increase the amount of outreach and make it much more effective than it's been in order to make a stop trending in the wrong direction. the board is also considering hiring a dedicated team of water enforcement patrols with the initial goal of education but possibly moving to fines as high as $500 for ongoing violations. hey mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. and if you're a customer of east bay mud, get ready to pay more for the water you use to help finance additional water supplies and expenses related to the drought, the utility voted to impose an 8% drought surcharge beginning july one. for an average single family home. the 8% surcharge will amount to about 10. cents a day surcharge will remain in place until the drought emergency

declaration is lifted, california officials say. while the drought is worsening, residents used more water in march than any march in the past seven years, water usage rose nearly 19% in march to the highest water used for that month since 2015 this comes despite governor newsom's request last july for everyone to voluntarily reduce their water use. by 50. per se. since then. californians have only cut back there. you by than four. unfortunately our big keystone rest worship there at lake shasta lake oroville. um didn't get as much of the winter rains . oroville fare better than shasta, and you also have to realize that geology going on with shasta, which has volcanic sand as it dries out, you have to re wet the landscape a lot more before you're generating runoff. news summary to the drought news by pledging to

media platforms can be used to discover and transact. which in many cases that occurs with young people. but most importantly, they can be used. to educate. officials said. just a few weeks ago, police seized 11,000 fentanyl pills, which they say is enough to kill everyone in santa clara county. in san francisco 640 people died from an accidental drug overdoses last year. that is a nearly 190% increase from five years earlier when 222 people died from drug overdoses. the rise occurred as the extra lethal synthetic opioid fentanyl replaced heroin as the main opioid causing drug overdoses in the city. but new research from the san francisco public health department shows if the drug narcan was not available, the death toll would be much higher . narcan helps save lives by reversing the effects of an opioid overdose. santa's a police released bodycam and surveillance footage today showing a police shooting that left a man injured. officers say

think it's important for every city step forward. we're seeing rising gun crime in every city mayor sam liccardo points to the recent arrest of matt fruit and bloom. police investigators say the 24 year old son, evil man was selling stolen property but also had a cache of so called ghost guns and parts to assemble ghost guns, guns. have become the fodder for criminal organizations, particularly gun trafficking rings. there's no serial number on any of these guns get those resources. the new ordinance would make it illegal to own, have assembled or distribute guns without serial numbers, commonly called ghost guns. in california, nearly 30% of weapons seized by the t f r ghost guns. and then san jose. detectives say approximately one quarter of the 963 firearms taken by police officers in 2021 did not have serial numbers during the cinco holiday. just this past week, we received a large majority of ghost guns as well, and there

are also sees from people who are prohibited persons. who are most likely going to commit additional crimes. experts say. misdemeanor law such as this attack the symptoms, but not the cause of gun violence. this is really an area that there's a lot of focus on here because it's novel, but not because it's a huge threat that other types of stolen weapons are. i don't think it'll make much of a dent dent in the crime rate, the mayor believes any dent coupled with a concerted effort. to attack a mainstay of street crime will break the pattern of gun violence. this is just one more tool in the toolbox. as i said the vote was unanimous tended. nothing will be a second reading on may, the 17th. the ordinance would go into effect. a month later, however, city says they will not start enforcement for six months to give people a chance to turn in either their ghost guns or the kids that make ghost guns finds range up to $1000.06 months in jail. we're live outside san jose city hall this evening just
