   An act to amend Section 14877.2 of the Water Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2163, as introduced, Mendoza. Graywater systems.
   Existing law requires the Department of Water Resources, in
consultation with the State Department of Public Health and the
Center for Irrigation Technology at California State University,
Fresno, to adopt standards for the installation of graywater systems,
as specified, for subsurface irrigation and other safe uses.
Existing law authorizes the installation of a graywater system if the
city or county having jurisdiction over the installation determines
that the system complies with standards adopted by the department and
authorizes a city or county to adopt standards that prohibit the use
of graywater or standards that are more restrictive than the
standards adopted by the department, as appropriate for the local
area.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 14877.2 of the Water Code is amended to read:
   14877.2.  A graywater system may be installed if the city or
county  having   that has  jurisdiction
over the installation determines that the system complies with
standards adopted by the department.
