This Part of Division 6 of the Water Code of California enables the acquisition of water supplies from the Washoe Project on the Truckee and Carson Rivers or their tributaries for beneficial use in California. It empowers the Department of water Resources to enter into a contract for the acquisition of and payment for a water supply made available to the people of the State of California by the Washoe Reclamation Project, provided, that the authority of the department to so contract shall not be exercised unless the governing body of one or more of the counties or countywide water agencies or countywide districts in the area where the water supply will be used shall first request the Department to take such action by duly adopted resolution. The Chapter also provides for conditions for contracting between a public agency and the Department for a water supply. The Department may fix and establish the prices, rates, and charges at which the water supply made available to the people of the State of California by the Washoe Project.
