Water pipeline to face review
The proposed water pipeline across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge will undergo standard environmental review, losing its emergency exemption after recent rains spared Marin County from the harshest impacts of the drought and assuaged the urgency of the project. Marin Water, which had planned to start construction on the pipeline next month, will soon begin a review of the project under the California Environmental Quality Act. It says the project will give the county’s largely self-contained water systems more flexibility in the long term.
