There are a number of methods available to businesses to aid efforts to conserve water in order to help offset the increase cost of water. However, many conservation efforts do carry a large price tag potential placing businesses at a competitive disadvantage.
As reasonable solution is a legislative proposal supported by the Garden Grove Chamber. AB 474 will mitigate the initial outlay for any business willing to increase their conservation efforts.
“This is a prime example of how we can get involved in the legislative process in Sacramento in order to enact positive change for our members and the Garden Grove business community,” stated Dr. Les Malo, Chair of the Garden Grove Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee. “This legislative proposal is good sound legislative policy, which is to keep the business community in mind while helping to conserve water and give business owners an option to pay for these conservation efforts instead of a mandate that happens so much of the time,” continued Malo.
The key provision of AB 474 allows commercial and residential property owners to enter into an agreement with public agencies (in this case, water agencies) to receive upfront financing for the installation of permanent water use efficiency improvements. Property owners will then be allowed to pay an annual assessment until all costs associated with the project are repaid to the public agency. Assembly Bill 474 expands upon last year’s AB 811, which authorized the use of voluntary assessment agreements between cities, counties and property owners for financing energy efficiency projects.
The passage of AB 474 will help California and Garden Grove mitigate its chronic water needs.
