5:07 am
point at $800 million. now this is the very early stage of the talks, though. tonight's meeting is one of the first steps to get the ball rolling but the water district is likely to hear a lot of questions about the price and about why the district needs a new reservoir when it spilled over water this winter. here is the head of the silicon valley taxpayer association. >> they are currently draining water out of the current reservoirs so they need more capacity but they're draining water. so it seems to be at odds with one another. >> reporter: we've been digging into the story since last week but coming up at 6:00 i'll show you where the money could come from and what it could mean for customers and rate payers. and right now on my facebook page you can find the agenda item here at the santa clara water district tonight. post a story that we did previously so you can be prepared if you want to stop in and have your say.
