Testing is nearing completion on the highly-anticipated San Mateo and Foster City wastewater treatment plant.
California is suing three plastic-bag makers, alleging they misled people by falsely claiming their products were recyclable. State Attorney General Rob Bonta says the businesses violated a law that banned plastic bags that weren't recyclable. He says the businesses labeled reusable bags as recyclable even though recycling facilities cannot process them and they end up dumped in landfills, incinerated or in the state's waterways. The state filed a similar lawsuit against ExxonMobil about a year ago over the oil giant's plastic products. California passed a tougher law that takes effect next year banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Monday that aims to increase the use of recycled water throughout the state.
