Bill overview
This bill addresses water theft, specifically focusing on unauthorized connections and use of fire hydrants. It strengthens penalties for tampering with fire hydrants, meters, or detectors, and expands a legal presumption against those who divert or use water from a fire hydrant without authorization. The bill also revises fines for water theft violations, eliminating the one-year timeframe for applying them, and prohibits local agencies from imposing multiple fines for the same offense.
