Governor Newsom today signed Executive Order N-16-25, which set forth the conditions under which water users may divert and store excess water from incoming winter storms.
Specifically, the Executive Order suspends the local flood plan requirement of Water Code 1242.1, which codified many elements of the previous 2023 Flood Executive Orders and allows for diversions of flood flows for recharge without water rights. The State Water Resources Control Board has updated its 1242.1 Technical Guidance that provides additional details of the existing 1242.1 requirements and addresses today’s Executive Order.
