Utility considers deal
for water supply study
The North Marin Water District is considering a $246,600 contract for a study on new water supply options.
The options include Stafford Lake storage, groundwater storage, wells and capturing more storm runoff. The district has identified West Yost, a consultant company based in Davis with an office in Santa Rosa, as the top candidate to perform the study. The study would be completed by the end of March.
The water district board will consider the contract when it meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday. More information is at nmwd.org.

Size cap might fall
for granny units
The town is considering a reduction in the maximum size of accessory dwelling units, also known as in-law or granny apartments.
A proposed amendment to the town code would cut the maximum from 1,200 square feet to 1,000 square feet. Officials hope that encouraging smaller dwellings would help keep them more affordable.
A public hearing is set for the Planning Commission meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. More information is at bit.ly/3nNoW0l.
AIR QUALITY
District issues alert
on pollution forecast
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued a “spare the air alert” for Tuesday because of high temperatures, regional wildfire smoke and smog.
Spare the air alerts are issued when ozone pollution is forecast to reach unhealthy levels. High levels of ozone pollution are harmful to breathe, especially for young children, seniors and those with respiratory and heart conditions.
