City to Spend Bond Funds on Water Cleanup
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The City Council agreed Friday to spend nearly $49 million in bond funds to remove trash and bacteria from storm water and urban runoff.
The money comes from Proposition O, a 2004 city bond measure that raised $500 million to prevent waste and debris in the drainage system from polluting the ocean.
The city will use the money for several projects, including one to install 6,000 screens to catch trash and other waste in runoff.
