no one was hurt. the de-escalation period was meant to lead to detailed ceasefire talks between both sides. israel originally accepted the truce plan, but vowed to hit gaza hard if hamas rejected that deal. well of course -- we'll of course continue our coverage all morning long including a live report coming up in half an hour. in just a few hours, state regulators will vote on a proposal to issue fines for people who waste water. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live at the santa clara valley water district. now kris, if this is approved, the fines could come very quickly. >> reporter: they could start immediately and scott, you could be subject to those fines for the next nine months. we're talking about anyone who overuses water in their yard, who uses the hose to wash the car without a nozzle on it, and anyone who uses a hose to wash downtown pavement if there's not a concern over public health. and the only, again, the idea is to force people to conserve 20%

as the governor suggested earlier this year, so far californians have only cut back by about 5% and since people who live in cities generally use about more than half of their water outside their homes, the state water board figures that's where they should target conservation efforts. >> i really think $500, it's okay. >> fines have not really been utilized by our water retailers, they usually are able to get people to do the right thing by just approaching them, telling them that you have a problem here, it needs to be fixed. >> reporter: critics say that any money spent on enforcement would be better spent on educating people that conservation in california could mean enough water for 3.5 million people a year if people would cut back to the 20% level. now if the board enacts the mandatory measures, they would go into effect immediately. by the way, police not the onl ones who would be able to write tickets, any public employee who is able to enforce the law.

in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. 6:30, new this morning, sir francis drake boulevard and san rafael back open this morning. crews worked throughout the night to repave the stretch of road near san quinnton. it was damaged when a trucker lost control of his big rig and crashed yesterday morning. the truck was carrying develop 1700 gallon tankers full of fuel which spilled across the road. no one was hurt. well check your clocks, we have new details on a power outage that left nearly 2,000 people in berkeley without power overnight. crews spent much of the night working to fix an underground cable at martin luther king away. it was somehow damaged overnight. it's pretty close to call, but we have not heard if the school lost power to right now power's been restored to all customers. it took three years of research, studies, and meetings, but the santa clara city council

thinks its come up with a solution to deal with traffic jams outside levi stadium, personalized parking. bob redell joins us live outside the stadium in santa clara, and bob, the plan could be approved tonight, it's interesting. >> reporter: and it's expected to be approved tonight, laura. good morning by the city of santa clara city council. 19,000 cars are expected to come here to levi stadium. how do you get them in here and into the 28 parking lots that are spread around the stadium as you can see on the map that we're putting on your tv screen. the city and the team, they think they've come up with a very unique solution, multimillion dollar solution to make this work, drivers will receive their own customized directions to their parking spot. one they could access beforehand, or on the back of their parking pass. it would suggest which highway off-ramp to use and the local roads turn by turn directions. and there'll also be see series

of temporary signs and traffic lights. lights that would synchronized to a special synchronized to a special schedule about four hours prior to game time. if you think about it, instead of sending everyone on the same route as it was at candle stick where even's trying to get off 101 into the stadium parking lot. here drivers would be spread out into smaller groups so they'd be sharing individual liezed routes with hundreds of other drivers instead of thousands. of course, the big catch is the fans have to go along with this. they have to cooperate and follow directions. fans will also have access to an app with realtime traffic and parking information. develop lots will have bicycle parking, private charters, taxis, and ride services like uber will have if i can up and drop off areas. it would help to encourage people to take public transit. running trains every ten minutes. again the city of santa clara expected to prove this plan tonight. reporting live here at lee vid stadium, "today in the bay." >> now you have to listen to the plan, thanks bob. we will have live coverage of

would remain in effect for nine months. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. time to check the forecast right now as we give you a live look outside. south bay, clouds over santa clara this morning. >> isn't it funny how the sky looks so pretty, but it's simply because there are clouds in it and looking in the south bay,out just don't even expect that. >> yeah. >> it's fantastic. >> not the humidity. >> well the humidity, you notice the sky because it's not infinitely blue, which is so boring with every day. >> good thing we have you to switch things up for us. you and laura mixing it up on the ones and twos every morning. 6:47 now because yeah, oftentimes we are showing you the same picture day after day. but you know what, we have what i consider to be the best weather in the entire nation. especially in the summer time. and right now we do have something that's not very normal for the bay area. this monsoonal moisture, nonetheless, it's moisture, and

we need it. so therefore we'll take it. as you can see right now, showers rolling up from south to north and impacting the entire bay area this morning. you might walk out your front door, you see the beads of batter, that's a likely scenario for this morning if you parked outdoors, exposed to the elements. throughout the day today, this is going to wind down. we are getting the bulk of the moisture right noum let me show you where it is concentrated. you can see showers over the past 15 minutes really starting to subside. we have a little bit of hit or miss@up in the north bay, some the county through loren, and here in the suite bay, also still getting some steady streams of moisture from time to time. so temperatures ooerz are kind of all over the place. we're at 67 degrees this morning within three degrees away from 70 to kick off date in livermore, but the clouds will limit that sun, that means temperatures later on today will be really comfortable. high pressure still in control. it's going to keep pumping in that subtropical moisture, but for today, it's starting to lose

some energy. as it continues to weaken, temperatures will continue to drop off. so more cool weather on the way as we head throughout tomorrow. 85 for today in the south bay. 83 for the peninsula. 82 degrees out in the north bay. it is going to be kind of a warm day out there. but then as we head into your weekend. look at this, beautiful conditions. 78 degrees by thursday here in the south bay. you'll be back in the mid-60s, and i know you like that in san francisco as we head through the end of the week, then we'll stay nice and level for saturday and sunday. we'll tell you what's going on across the bay area as we always do, we'll meet back here tomorrow. right now let's check your drive, say good morning or it mike inouye. good morning christina. we have a few hshs on the roadways, most of the roadways are looking light. and television eerie for a tuesday. we'll track that. north 101 we see look how light the traffic flow is right here. we have this vehicle over on the shoulder. i have one working walk with a bag over to the side. maybe some debris, there's a

crash reported somewhere along the stretch. we see the slower drive developing, overall we see the slower drive developing, you saw that live shot and that is a lighter flow of traffic, maybe that crash may be further south than they're reporting. be careful as you're approaching story and tully. all starting to show volume. there's your commute kicking in. no problems on the pence last. build for the east bay. union city, fremont, typical as you pass by the san mateo and dunn barton bridges. as we approach the freeway, typical build over there. little bit lighter than we see on a tuesday. the metering lights are on and slow drive in towards san francisco. remember as laura told you and scott's been telling you all morning, sir francis street reopened, making the cut between the ferry stermal. a live look shows is tougher into san francisco with that fog you can't see the towers. as christina said, things will

park. san jose pot clubs will be back outside city hall this morning trying to convince people to keep them open. on friday, city wide zoning laws go into effect. that'll force dozens of pot clubs to close. now as a last ditch effort, the medical marijuana coalition started a me toigs stop the laws from taking effect. the group is handing out vouchers to free pot for crew upons to free medical echlgss as well. so far, the city is not budging. the last of union squares water logged stores are expected to reopen this morning. on saturday a water main break flooded the basements of a number much shops. while it was repaired, the shop certainly had a lot of clean up to do. this is what things look like yesterday with crews pumping water out of building. city attorneys office working with stores to file damages. multibillion dollar traffic system described as unpress

denlted. the whied is to eesz con jenks around the stadium in a very innovative way. "today in the bay's" bob redell live outside le vie stadium, we're -- levi stadium, we're talking about personalized parking. >> reporter: yes the whole ideaed is to avoid the log jam that fans endured back in the days to watch the 49ers at candle stick. of course not to say there's not going to be traffic problems because they're going to try to get 19,000 cars into 28 parking lots that are spread around levi stadium as you can sigh on the map we just posted up on to our tv screen. so to make this work, what the city ask about to, expected to approve subpoena drivers receiving their own customized directions to their parking spot. one could be online or on the back of their parking pass. which highway off-ramp to use and once on the local roads would provide turn by turn directions. a series of temporary signs, upgraded traffic lights would

herd fans into routes to their parking spot and the traffic lights would be a synchronized on a schedule about four hours prior to game time. if you think about it, instead of sending everyone on the same route, drivers will be spread out into smaller groups. you'd be sharing your individualized group with hundreds of other drivers instead of thousands. of course this requires that fans cooperate and follow directions. fans have access to an app with realtime and parking information. two lots would have bicycle parking. uber would have pick up and drop off areas and vt ak, they'll be running trains every ten minutes. again, city council expected to approve this plan tonight. don't forget, levi stadium, so bizarre to think after all this time it's finally here and ribbon cutting is two days away. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> spectacular, thanks, bob. 6:54 right now, a venture capitalist plan to split california into six states is

moving forward. the backers of six california say they have enough signatures to get it on the ballot. stephanie chuang joins us live this morning, interesting idea, but a long way to go. >> reporter: long way, lawrie rab, that's right. in fact the latest poll shows that 59% of californians surveyed oppose this idea that would be on the november 1016 ballot. the idea would be to split it into six different states, jefferson one the northern most counties, knot with wine country and sierra nevada. central, central valley. south inland, san diego, silicon valley who is now san francisco bay area. silicon valley capitalist is leading the plan he's put in about $5 million of his own money. he believes six new states would force governments to compete for us, work for us, and we spoke with people this morning who h very different reactions to the idea. >> i think it's working fine,

there's already a government. place that has representation from all these areas. so i think it's crazy. >> it could be interesting, and it could unleash the power to the state. probably worth looking into. >> reporter: there would be plenty of hurtles though, the u.s. constitution requires a an approval by congress and the california legislature which is of course controlled by democrats right now and they have criticized this idea. another big criticism is inquality. while our state would be the richest in the country, central, which would be central valley would be the poorest. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thanks steph. time now is 6:56, we have o final check of top stories, at least 20 people dead, 150 hurt after a subway train derailed in moscow this morning. investigators say during rush hour, a power surge triggered an alarm that caused the train to come to a screeching stop and derail. the interim chairman of hewlett packard is stepping down
