RE: Re: Senate Bill 88 (Caballero) The Biomass Utilization for Carbon Reduction Act – Support
Assemblymember Bryan:
On behalf of the City of Sacramento (City), I write in support of SB 88 (Caballero). SB 88 would apply innovative measures to address the critical public health issue of smoke accumulation in the Sacramento basin. This bill would require CARB, CalFire and the CEC to take specific steps to track, locate, and quantify the emissions from the burning of forest and agricultural waste and to encourage beneficial uses of those residues to help prevent wildfires, avoid managed pile and burn, and increase job opportunities in rural areas of California.
The City supports measures that improve air quality and public health in Sacramento and throughout California.
Everyone living in Sacramento breathes some of the worst air quality in the nation due to the concentration of particulates that settle in the basin. Wildfires and managed open air burning of forest and agricultural wastes cause ongoing concerns for climate pollution, harming public health, agricultural productivity, and the state’s progress in reducing carbon emissions.
California has adopted numerous policies to mitigate wildfire risks and air pollution from agricultural burns, but more progress is needed to incentivize and scale up biomass utilization to realize the significant economic and environmental benefits. Monetizing the value of avoided emissions when waste biomass is converted to alternative beneficial products or uses instead of burned is one way to accelerate the pace of biomass utilization.
SB 88 would support biomass utilization in the following ways:
• Requires CARB to include a strategy in the next Scoping Plan update to support the beneficial carbon removal products like biochar generated from biomass that would otherwise be burned. • Requires CalFire to include a disposal plan for forest residues to track the amount and location of prescribed fire needed and encourage alternatives to pile burning.
• Requires CEC to consider the value of biomass utilization for energy reliability, biofuels, emissions reductions, wildfire mitigation and other co-benefits in plans and reports related to energy planning, resource availability, and related issues.
SB 88 would further the City’s goals of protecting the environment and improving air quality for the benefit of communities throughout the Sacramento region and beyond. For these reasons, the City respectfully requests your
support of SB 88. If there are any questions about the City’s position, please contact Consuelo Hernandez, Director of Governmental Affairs, at 916-808-7395 or [email protected].

RE: AB 476 (GONZALEZ) METAL THEFT – SUPPORT
Dear Senator Arreguín:
On behalf of the City of Sacramento (City), I write to offer a Support position on AB 476 (González), which seeks to establish limitations on the types of materials that junk dealers and/or recyclers are authorized possess that was owned or previously owned by an agency, in the absence of a written certification on the letterhead of the agency owning or previously owning the material, that the agency has either sold the material described or is offering the material for sale, salvage, or recycling, and that the person possessing the certification and identified in the certification is authorized to sell that material. The City appreciates the collaboration with the author and sponsors that has allowed us to move to a full Support position.
Public infrastructure is crucial to protecting lives and maintaining quality of life for our residents. Adequate infrastructure ensures that both public and private spaces are safeguarded against potential climate change threats and natural disasters.
Furthermore, water supply, sewer, and stormwater systems are essential for effective emergency response and climate resilience efforts. Having these essential infrastructure assets in place, and are secure, functional, and accessible, enhances emergency response and community resilience. Making it harder for those who illicitly obtain these critical infrastructure components to sell them to junk dealers and recyclers helps ensure the safety and quality of life of our communities.
AB 476, if enacted, can help provide an additional roadblock for those who engage in the theft of critical infrastructure components for the purpose of selling the materials to junk dealers and recyclers. If this bill leads to a reduction in the frequency of theft, this will lessen the potential burden on our ratepayers (for Prop 218) for those served by publicly owned utilities. The City believes that having infrastructure that is free from vandalism and theft is crucial for economic development, job creation, and public safety.
For these reasons, the City of Sacramento is pleased to offer a Support position on AB 476. If there are any questions about the City’s position, please contact Brian Sanders, Policy & Legislative Specialist, at [email protected] or 916- 420-0239.

The Honorable Ash Kalra
Chair, Assembly Judiciary Committee
1020 N Street, Room 104
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 394 (Allen) – Support
Dear Assemblymember Kalra:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we are writing to express our strong support for SB 394, which would enhance penalties for water theft from fire hydrants. Water agencies are responsible for delivering safe, clean, and affordable drinking water throughout California. However, in recent years, water theft has posed a serious threat to water agencies’ ability to fulfill that responsibility.
Water theft takes many forms, the most egregious being water theft from fire hydrants for commercial uses. Illegal actors have been documented connecting to and filling water trucks from fire hydrants without the proper use of hydrant meters to avoid paying for water. These water trucks can hold up to 6,000 gallons of water, resulting in significant loss for water agencies. The stolen water is typically used
The Honorable Ash Kalra

or sold for profit for commercial purposes, such as by construction companies, landscaping companies, and water trucks selling the water to other users. Current fine amounts are not strong enough to deter this theft and may instead be seen as the cost of doing business for some bad actors.
SB 427 of 2021 carried by Senator Eggman established authority for public water agencies to adopt an ordinance that prohibits water theft and makes a violation of that ordinance subject to an administrative fine or penalty. The existing authority breaks theft into two categories: meter tampering and all other forms of water theft. Fines for meter tampering range from $130 for the first violation up to $1,300 for the third and additional violations within one year. All other forms of water theft, which currently includes theft from a fire hydrant, can be fined up to $1,000 for the first violation, up to $3,000 for the third and additional violations within a year.
At the time these fines were established, the impact to residential customers was a strong consideration that led to the final fine amounts. SB 394 is targeting commercial operators that are illegally diverting water from hydrants for profit.
Water theft from fire hydrants poses serious risks to public health and safety, water affordability, and water efficiency. During water theft from hydrants, contamination can occur when non-potable sources are illegally connected to a drinking water system and anti-backflow devices are not used. This cross- contamination between the water system and non-potable source connections poses a serious health risk to everyone in the system.
Further, unauthorized use of a hydrant can lead to water pressure in the system dropping which can jeopardize response to emergency situations such as fires. This potential issue is especially timely given the devastating fires in Southern California.
Illegal connections also often result in costly damage to the fire hydrant and system infrastructure that can impair the hydrant’s function. The revenue lost from water theft and the cost of damage to infrastructure as a result of theft is ultimately borne by law-abiding paying customers, having a negative impact on water affordability. Water theft also works against efforts by water districts to comply with State water use efficiency goals under the State’s newly adopted Making Conservation a California Way of Life framework.
The current penalties for water theft are an insufficient deterrent and fail to prevent this criminal activity from occurring. SB 394 recognizes and addresses these inefficiencies in existing penalties by authorizing local agencies that provide water services to adopt an ordinance with enhanced penalties specifically for water theft from a fire hydrant. The intent of this bill is to specifically deter commercial water theft, rather than residential water theft. Under SB 394, local agencies could adopt an ordinance allowing them to set fines not to exceed $2,500 for the first violation and up to $10,000 for the third and any additional violations.
This bill would also remove the one-year reset on existing penalties for the third and additional violations for water theft committed via meter tamping and other forms of water theft. This bill would also help agencies recover damages as a result of water theft from a fire hydrant by authorizing a utility to bring a civil action for damages against any person who, without authorization, tampers with or diverts water from a fire hydrant. These provisions on civil action would be available to both public agencies and other types of retail water agencies that face these same challenges.

Re: FY 2025 – 2026 Budget – Support for AB 102 and SB 102 - Funding for the Agreements to Support Healthy Rivers and Landscapes
California State Budget – Funding for the Agreements to Support Healthy Rivers and Landscapes
Dear President pro Tempore McGuire, Speaker Rivas, Budget Chairs Weiner and Gabriel, and Subcommittee Chairs Allen and Bennett:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, I am writing to express our strong support for AB 102 (Gabriel) and SB 102 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review), which would maintain and extend $351.7 million of funding for the Agreements to Support Healthy Rivers and Landscapes (Agreements), formerly referred to as the Voluntary Agreements, in the 2025-26 State budget.
This essential funding supports no-regrets habitat and water supply projects that are already providing drought resiliency for the environment, farms, and people. While these critical projects support early implementation of the Agreements, these types of projects are urgently needed regardless of what decision the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) may make regarding the updated San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay-Delta) Water Quality Control Plan.
These Agreements, and these early implementation actions, represent a collaborative, modern, and holistic approach to improving the Bay-Delta ecosystem and water supply reliability. Through the Agreements, a group of public water agencies are proposing a comprehensive suite of actions that will improve habitat and flows in the Delta and its tributaries to help native fish and wildlife species.
Collectively, our organizations represent hundreds of water systems throughout California that deliver the vast majority of water used for agricultural, commercial, and residential purposes. We have long supported the Agreements as a means to addressing some of the most critical issues in the Bay-Delta.
These funds are critical to continuing successful implementation of vital restoration projects throughout the Delta watershed.
In previous budget cycles, the Administration and Legislature committed funding through the budget process to support the types of projects proposed in the Agreements. In 2021, SB 170 (Chapter 240 Statutes of 2021) and SB 155 (Chapter 258, Statutes of 2021) appropriated funding for the purpose of improving environmental conditions to promote recovery of native fish species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin watershed. In addition, in 2022, AB 178 (Chapter 45, Statutes of 2022) provided $100 million to the California Natural Resources Agency for these purposes. This funding had broad support from the water community, Legislature, and the Administration.
AB 102 and SB 102 would maintain funding for the agreements that were made to fund projects that protect fish and wildlife, address environmental issues in the Bay-Delta, and preserve water supply reliability. The undersigned organizations strongly urge the Legislature to support AB 102 and SB 102 to maintain funding for the Agreements. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact ACWA’s State Legislative Director, Julia Hall at [email protected] or 530-902-9746.
