Alameda County Indoor Mask Mandate
As of June 3, Alameda County has implemented an indoor mask mandate in most indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status or history of prior COVID-19 illness. The City of Berkeley, which sets its own health protocols, and the other eight Bay Area Counties are not considering reimplementing a mask mandate for their residents
at this time.
Santa Clara Valley Water
Santa Clara Valley Water adopted a program to enforce restrictions on outdoor water use by residents and businesses by fining those who disregard repeated warnings on wasting water. SCVW customers could face fines ranging anywhere from $100 to $10,000 for not following rules for reducing outdoor water use.
