§ 117000 Water Source Protection Rules

• •You can't swim or bathe in water sources that supply drinking water to people.
• •You can't make the water dirty in these places.
• •There are some exceptions where it might be allowed by law.

You go to a lake that provides water to nearby towns.

If you decide to take a bath or wash your car in that lake, you're breaking the law because you're making the water dirty, and people might get sick from drinking it.
