BB&K Attorney Scott Campbell Discusses Investing in Expanding Desalination and Storage Capacity

The Long Beach Press Telegram reports that, despite water restrictions being eased for the rest of California, Avalon businesses and residents must reduce their water use "by at least 40 percent or face hundreds of dollars in penalties."

Avalon City Attorney Scott Campbell said during a presentation he delivered during the city’s Sept. 20 council meeting that additional storage capacity of 1 million to 2 million gallons would be a major improvement.
