Useful when that time comes. Melissa caen, kpix5. Meanwhile the 17 billion delta water tunnel plan may be in for some downsizing. A new proposal calls for just one huge tunnel to deliver Northern California water south instead of two. Kpix5s Susie Steimle tells us some of this water would go to people in the south bay where the Water District says one tunnel may be better. Reporter state officials appear to have changed course when it comes to the scale of the controversial delta items project known as water fix tunnels project known as water fix. The governor asked for bids on one tunnel, not the originally planned two. Yet, but its a great step forward. Reporter Richard Santos is the santa clara waterboard of directors chair. He thinks one tunnel is less expensive and something taxpayers would support, which is crucial, as south bay taxpayers would help foot the bill. We didnt want two tunnels, 17 billion is a lot of money. Reporter santos said if one tunnel goes well, a second one could be added down the line. If that works, you can build up confidence and the people of the state would then support, im sure, two tunnels. It doesnt make sense to send that water down there. You just cant destroy other peoples backyard. Reporter many People Living in the delta oppose any version of the water fix project. Opponents from restore the delta call this bad planning and bad politics. They say the Brown Administration is not being transparent, honest or ethical in describing their intentions with californians. No financial or environmental plans have been released by the state for the one tunnel adjustment. Santos says he hopes when that information is released, he can support it. The delta is damaged. It has to be fixed. We applaud the governor for taking that on. Reporter Susie Steimle, kpix5. New at 6 00 if you have a wood burning fireplace and dont use it anymore, you could trade it in for cash. The bay area air Quality Management district has pinpointed a number of zones eligible for the incentive. Kpix5s len ramirez has more on the push for cleaner heat. Len . Reporter well, veronica, today is not a spare the air day here in the bay area, but there have been so many spare the air days this winter that many of the people in this neighborhood and throughout the bay area have not even used their fireplaces at all this winter. Now theres an Incentive Program for people to permanently stop using their fireplaces and replace them with cleaner burning alternatives. Musician ed robletho enjoys a good song in front of his living room fireplace, but he no longer enjoys the fire. I use my fireplace maybe once or twice a decade since ive had the house. I understand that air quality is affected in a neglect manner and i would rather have clean air than a warm fire. Reporter hes just the kind of person the bay area air Quality Management district wants for a new program that will give consumers cash for replacing a fireplace or wood burning stove. Im excited about it. I just heard about it today and i think im going to follow up on it. Reporter rebase range from 750 for simply decommissioning a fireplace to 1,000 for adding a gas heat stove or 3,500 for installing an electric heat pump. The air quality district says its an incentive for people to move beyond fireplaces or woodstoves which add toxic soot to the air. The particles that go up in the air are a large percent of the particles we have in the air during the wintertime, up to 30 or 40 . So reducing that level is very important. Its important for our health. Reporter its already illegal to build fireplaces in new homes in the bay area and this program is seen by some as another step towards permanently outlawing wood fires in older homes where the fireplace was once the centerpiece of the house. This year was the worst year ever mostly because of all the no burn days. Reporter firewood dealer bruce fussington predicted he will probably go out of business by next year. People dont use their fireplaces anymore because they feel like theyre criminals. Reporter not everyone will be able to participate in this program.

New at 6 00 we may not be able to stop wildfires in california, but lawmakers are taking steps to protect californians from the suffering that follows. This map shows parts of the bay area and Northern California most at risk from wildfires. Kpix5s emily turner on new protections for homeowners that were unveiled today. Reporter these fires changed the landscape of the north bay and now they may also change the way insurers deal with their claims. Legislators from the fire ravaged areas across the state have drafted a set of bills that they hope would help survivors through the process. Here are some of the biggest proposed changes. One bill would allow survivors the freedom to repurpose unused portions of their coverage towards rebuilding their home. It would also prevent Insurance Companies from dropping coverage for at least two years after the disaster happens. Another bill would require Insurance Companies to cover things like an airbnb or rv rentals as an additional living expense while ones home is being rebuilt. Hotels and long term rentals arent always available. It allows policyholders the option to see up to 80 of their contents claim coverage without having to list out the items they lost. Its the only new legislation that would retroactively help fire victims from this fall. Another bill extends the time people have to rebuild from two years to three. Knowing that fires, floods and other natural disasters will happen again, we need to take the steps now to improve Insurance Coverage and consumer protection. Reporter all good things for those who lose everything in a catastrophe, but it will likely be more work and more expensive for Insurance Companies which could make things more expensive for all of us. What does that mean for insurance rates moving forward or an insurance companys willingness to provide coverage . Well, as each of the members has pointed out, these are very common sense, reasonable proposals that follow through on the promises insurers are making to help recovery in communities.

So we wanted to know how San Francisco, a city that makes Billboard Companies go through all kinds of red tape, allowed this to happen. News racks in San Francisco are going digital. Over the last couple of months the space on these Metal Structures that once displayed printed static images are being replaced with digital ads. Do you think that thats a distraction . Ive never noticed that. So im going to say no. It looks like art. Thats cool. I dont think most people are actually seeing it to tell the truth because we pass by things so fast. I think most of the people are dealing with their phones more so than dealing with billboards. Reporter Clear Channel outdoors owns the rack. Senior Vice President jason king tells me this new way of advertising allows Digital Media to be flexible and in the moment. They can even display emergency notifications when necessary. This is an advertising solution that allows brands to really engage with consumers on a more personal, intimate level reaching the consumers they want to reach. Reporter back in 2002 Clear Channel signed a 20 Year Contract with the city to maintain up to 1,000 of these fixed pedestal news racks. As part of that contract Clear Channel got the green light to make news racks eventually digital. What youre seeing now is an evolution of the media. Reporter the images on these mini billboards change every few seconds and king tells me that will not be distracting to drivers.
