Burr describes a 30-minute presentation he gave to Governor Gavin Newsom’s cabinet regarding a $300 million plan to drill 100 deep primary water wells.

He suggests that the state government is more interested in "special projects" and political financing than solving the water crisis.

Greg Carlwood provides a personal update regarding a lead contamination issue in his new home's water supply.

He notes that his upcoming cross-country move will temporarily affect the podcast's production schedule.

Greg Carlwood shares a personal struggle regarding his recent purchase of a new construction home in Florida. Despite being on a well system, the kitchen sink water tested five times over the EPA limit for lead, while the groundwater itself tested clean.
