could cause toxic runoff. jessica flores reports on how crews are trying to protect water. >> reporter: bright orange wattles line the streets in santa rosa's now devastated coffey park where water officials are examining the area today hoping the tubes of hay filters out toxic debris that might wash into storm drains. >> there is a potential for the toxic runoff to get into the storm drain and from the storm drain without any treatment to get into our waterways. >> reporter: about 10% of sonoma county's watershed is in the burn zone and the big worry, that with heavy rain this season, toxic ash could make its way into streams and rivers that feed the drinking water supply. should residents in sonoma county be concerned about drinking the water? >> no, no, i don't think so. >> reporter: that's because sonoma county water agency is testing the drinking water every day and the county says it's safe. water officials say the worry isn't over whether the water will be fine in the short term. it's how the massive amounts of ash and debris will affect the water supply in the long run.

>> could be mud flow, can be debris flow, landslides, that will bring a lot of the sediment into the water body and so that can then make a problem. >> reporter: runoff at the height of the rainstorm yesterday, they should have the results from testing then in the next couple of days. in santa rosa, jessica flores, kpix 5. let's take a live look outside right now courtesy of our sutro tower camera looking north at golden gate bridge. much of the bay area drying out for the moment but showers are on the way. julie? >> that's right. we still have some scattered showers out there on hi-def doppler right now. it's been an impressive downpour in the north bay. near yountville, take a closer look at the hi-def doppler now and you can see the showers pushing east right now just south of yountville heading towards napa and we are going to see these scattered showers really spotty in nature from time to time over the next few hours, really continuing through tomorrow. a look at the south bay shows

a matter of replacing the fixture. parents aren't concerned. >> feel like they are handling it -- i mean, they do -- this is a great school, so they always do the best for the kids. >> at the end, at the water fountain there, it gives really cold water. it's really good on hot days. >> reporter: ousd says they have about 20 more district-run kindergarten through 12th grade schools to test and they hope to have all of that testing done by the end of the month. in oakland, jackie ward, kpix 5. to capitol hill now where senate republicans are releasing their version of tax reform. while the house version is being debated, mola lenghi looks at the differences between the two and how they could affect you. >> reporter: senate republicans are unveiling their tax reform plan today. >> release of this plan is another critical step toward providing relief to the middle class. >> reporter: the senate version is expected to eliminate state and local deductions just like the house plan. it will also limit the amount of people who pay the estate tax whereas the house version eliminates it altogether. there are potentially seven tax
