Existing law declares that the use of potable domestic water for various nonpotable uses is a waste or an unreasonable use of water, and prohibits a person or public agency from using water from any source of quality suitable for potable domestic use for various nonpotable purposes, including cemeteries, golf courses, parks, highway landscaped areas, and industrial and irrigation uses, if suitable recycled water is available. This bill would declare that the use of potable domestic water for oil refineries is a waste or unreasonable use of water, if certain requirements are met. The bill would additionally prohibit a person or public agency from using potable water for oil refinery purposes, if certain requirements are met. The bill would state that it is the intent of the Legislature to provide incentives to facilitate compliance with these provisions. These provisions would become operative on January 1, 2020.
