plan to start using recycled water for drinking. this would involve treating the water to safe levels and recharging our ground water bases which is already part of the water district's long-term plan. this proposal will be presented to the city council next tuesday where other members will get a chance to decide whether they want to go forward with exploring these ideas even more. reporting live from san jose. ktvu, channel 2 news. despite the drought, many companies are still bottling their water here in california. california is the biggest producer for bottled water. they all get their water here. two companies pull their water from city sources, the other two get their water from springs. one of the reasons the companies get water from our state is because we're the only state in the west without ground water regulations, or management. in 2012 the bottled water industry in the united states

produced 10 billion-gallons bringing in $12 billion. 5:30 this evening a camp- fire sting along is scheduled at the rose garden to commemorate the memory of the largest wildfire in the history of nevada. on august 17th, 2013, sparks from a cook-out ignited into a fire that burned 400 square miles. the fire also destroyed the family camp. park rangers worry that much of the damaged land will never recover. and several days ago, some logs still smoldering flared up. they will only declare the fire officially out when the state drought is over and there are heavy winter storms. time is 7:11. the sheriff's deputies still out there searching for a man who jumped into the backseat of a car, robbed the driver and passenger and fired shots rats them. this happened wednesday night just outside the martinez city

the terrorist threat against the u.s. from syria may be much larger than many people believe. a u.s. official says 12,000 people from at least 50 countries have gone to syria in order to enlist in radical islamic groups. it's estimated more than 100 american citizens have traveled to syria or attempted to go there to join the fight. president obama has scheduled a security summit in september to address the issue of westerners returning home to cause havoc.

a new report says the pentagon broke the law in the prisonnier swap for bowe bergdahl. he spent five years as a taliban prisoner of war until his release in may. the government accountability office says the pentagon acted illegally when it failed to give congress a 30-day advance notice of its plans to swap captured taliban fighters for bergdahl. they notified progress of the deal the same day the transfer was made. >> interesting. >> time is now 7:18. let's get you where you need to go. >> well you know it is not bad today we've had dave, we've had just a little bit of a break from the last four, which have been very slow. highway 4, it is a little bit slow 'til still coming up over the hill, about 44 miles per hour average speed, five minutes to do that short stretch. the rest of the county, you can

a gun. witnesses reported seeing him act -- but supporters say they don't believe he was posing a threat and the police over reacted. they talked about the cig cants of this ceremony. to bring healing to our community in a place we feel like there is an open wound left, also to demand justice. this morning's event was just the beginning of what will be a day of action for his friends and relatives at noon, his supporters are planning to march from the height's park down to the san francisco federal building and then at 3:00 in the afternoon outside of the building there will be another rally held there. the family then this afternoon is planning to file along with their attorney, a federal civil rights lawsuit against the san francisco police department. in connection with this shooting. we're live in san francisco.

landscaping. they also want to collaborate with the water district to fast track a plan to start using recycled water for drinking. this would involve treating the water to safe levels and recharging our water basins. we know from the experience of orange county from el paso and other places this can work. it can work very safely with a very large quantity of water if it's picture it --. >> grass would not be watered and options would be explored. they plan on presenting this to the council next tuesday where other members will get a chance to decide whether or not they want to go forward and explore the options here. reporting live from san jose. ktvu, channel 2 news. new information about a fire back in april that killed a woman and three-year-old son at a public housing unit. investigators ruled it an

land will never recover. some of the logs out there still smoldered and fired up and caused a fire. they are complex things. and when we think we understand them, mother nature throws us something else and we have to study it some more and try to understand it better. the forest service says it will only declare this fire officially out when the drought is over and there are heavy winter storms. a new report says california is not doing all it can to fight and prevent cancer. the american cancer society's report says california is making problem on preventing tobacco use and passing smoke- free laws but they say it needs to help do more for those who already smoke. >> we can prevent all cancer deaths if everyone were to quit tobacco, if everyone were to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and get the

strikes. the pentagon continues to explore all options to defeat them. meanwhile, the journalist's family released the e-mail sent last week it said quote you and your citizens will pay the price of your bombings. then warned fully, would be executed. i don't know any other way to describe it other than barberric. they have no standard of decency. the pentagon says the u.s. cannot go it alone in trying to defeat isis. they say they are working with other countries to stop the militants. live in washington, ktvu, channel 2 news. it's 8:15. a new report says the pentagon broke the law in the prisoner swap for bowe bergdahl. he spent five years as a prisoner of war until his release in may. the government accountability said it failed to give a 30-day

delta breeze. a combination of a little bit more fog that system to the knot, and a better westernly breeze equals a cooler pattern. breezy, not as warm inland, we'll back it off today. 60s, 70s, slightly below average. we have a problem in oakland on 880 northbound. the traffic is going to be slow because of a crash. you can see the backup from one of our cameras here on 880 approaching the coliseum, it is very, very slow. one of the things wasn't to mention is thing -- the slow traffic is all the way up passed the curve and around. what you need to do, what i think you should do is use 580 as an alternative. people are heading towards it as an alternate you can see 880 is bad. 880 northbound at 23rd. let's go to the toll plaza where the traffic is going to

be busy, all though improve ago little bit. this is still about a 25-minute drive. toll booth number four, one of the lanes closed and the back- up is bigger than it normally is passed the richmond park way, you're going to be waiting before you make it to that area. eight:31. let's go back to the desk. happening right now the 49ers are putting in new turf at their new stadium. they want to make sure the new sod will be ready for the pre- season game against the chargers. ktvu is there now and you just talked to a spokesperson for the 49ers, good morning. good morning, they say they are very confident that sunday's game is a go. they say a lot of other teams have been in the same situation, they say they got off the phone with fill a ya not too long ago, the and they were ready to go and they played on thursday night so

>> good morning dave. we're in front of mels diner here, this is just one of several locations, restaurants really where they do allow dogs at least in their outdoor patio, that's the thing. even though many restaurants do that at their discretion, this was actually for the whole time illegal in the state until an assemblywoman from davis pushed it through law, o'governor made it official yesterday. the governor signed ab-1965 which allows the restaurants to have dogs on outside areas. it will be up to the restaurant owner to decide if they allow it but again at least for the state, it is now legal. there are some concern from some who say there are sanitary issues with dogs even in outdoor areas, some families what may be considered for dog. >> for outside, no, i don't really see that as an issue. for example, my dog is very good. he'll just sit down at the very

foot of the table and enjoy. we are very respectful of anybody around us so if he were to cause any kind of a commotion we would get up and move. it is all about being respectful and considerate person. now here are some other parts of this new law, a separate outdoor entrance must be present so the dogs won't go through the restaurant. they won't be allowed on chairs, bunches or fixtures in the area. restaurant employees are banned from having direct contact with dogs while on duty and the dog needs to be or remain on a leash or in a pet carrier and needs to be under control of the pet owner. obviously the restaurant must comply with all food restaurant and sanitary guidelines. the new law goes into effect january first. ktvu, channel 2 news. it is 8:39. rather flightening situation for firefighters taking part in that ice bucket challenge in 14 minutes the effort that went terribly wrong and sent four of
