You're San Bernardino, right?

I might have a soils report for a job I did out that way which indicates that pretty much the entire area is an alluvial basin (wash) which means VERY little (if any) percolation of surface water into underground rivers or aquifers.

The whole thing is just a B.S. way of levying a new tax/fee on honest folks in order to fund government waste and handouts to recipients of wealth-redistribution/social engineering programs anyway (but I'm sure you already know this).

In my experiences, getting City of San B. to budge on ANYTHING is a complete uphill battle. Their city engineering department has one of the worst God complexes I've ever run into although their water department was surprisingly easy to deal with. Good luck with it.
