solutions to the lack of potable water. Find that, to the extent that County

Self Help Enterprises for the Household Tank Program and reimbursed with

Enterprises for the purpose of continuing to provide relief to County residents
impacted by a lack of domestic water supply beyond June 30, 2017, (1) to
protect the public health, safety and welfare by preventing public nuisances
and by reducing potential homelessness related to the combination of a lack of
affordable housing and a lack of reliable domestic water supplies in some
communities; and (2) to allow additional time for communities to organize and
investigate potential permanent solutions to the lack of potable water.
Authorize the Health & Human Services Agency to allow Self Help Enterprises
