Three years on from the CZU Complex Lightning Fire, the state of California has finally given approval for the Big Basin Water Company to once again begin operating the local sewer system. The approval was received by the company in an email Wednesday. Homeowners say one of the obstacles to rebuilding after the fires has been the county was not approving their building permits because sewer lines were not connected. Now, Big Basin Water Company, which is in charge of the sewer plant in the area, says the state just cleared them to operate again and says that will help streamline the permit process for homeowners.
