SB 1283 repeal of swimming ban at Lake Santa Margarita (drinking water source)

The state removed the long-standing ban on body contact in Lake Santa Margarita — the city's drinking water reservoir — without city input. The county will decide whether to allow swimming, and the council wants a subcommittee and staff tracking so residents can weigh in before the county acts, possibly by summer 2027.
