In November, 1971, the BCPUD Board of Directors declared a Water Shortage
Emergency Condition, pursuant to the California Water Code, and enacted
a moratorium on new connections to the municipal water supply. That
moratorium is still in effect and should be taken into consideration when
contemplating the purchase of undeveloped real estate. Listed
below are two documents that provide information about the moratorium.
Resolution 173, adopted in 1977, is the legislation currently governing
the moratorium. The Pacific Legal Foundation Versus BCPUD is a report
on litigation contesting the validity of the moratorium in State and Federal
Court.
