individual water companies and cities could ask you to only water your yard in the evenings and fine you if you don't. and that's not all. >> the water providers could put a limitation on water use, and if you go above that use, then you could pay a higher price. that's definitely a possibility. >> reporter: since the board recommended water users cut back 10% in january, our water outlook is even for grim. >> our treated water supplies depend on imported water from the watershed, the state and federal projects. >> reporter: around the county there are parched reminders we're in a drought. here you can see the bottom of the reservoir in south san jose. this is one of the water districts recharge basins. it's expected to get so low, the fish may start dying. a reminder we all need to conserve liquid gold. so how can you reduce by 20%?

cheryl hurd joins us from treasure island. this could get destructive for a lot of people across the region. >> reporter: that's whitright, . a lot of people are preparing for the rain whether you're an engineer preparing the bridge or an average person, people can't wait for the storm. pg and e is ramping up the tree trimming program to prevent downed power lines. we watched crews sawing off limbs from trees leaning on electrical wires on arlington boulevard and sandbags from palo alto to get them in case there is flooding. >> we get occasional flooding from streams, but most people want the rain it's been so dry. so residents are looking, i think, i guess forward to the rain. maybe not the flooding. >> reporter: cal tran's engineers are looking forward to the rain to solve a mystery on the suspension span of the bay bridge. some bolts are leaking and engineers still don't know where the water is coming from. >> it is dripping down through the bolts. there are 2600 bolts that connect the barrier rail to the deck sections. we're termidetermining how the is getting into the barrier rail. >> reporter: when it starts raining tomorrow. engineers will check this bridge in shifts to try to figure out where the leaks are coming from. reporting live at treasure island, i'm cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. >> thank you. we're getting ready for the storms, and you can track the storms in realtime on our website, nbcbayarea.com. click on the weather tab and there you can see the maps and radar. while it is a stunner for the first time a foreign commercial airline has been fined under a new federal law designed to protect consumers. >> this steams from the ashiana crash. it is being fined half a million dollars for not taking adequate care of passengers. steven stock has been following this. what's the latest. >> raj, this is a record and the federal consent order issued by the department of transportation earlier today. in announcing the order and fine, u.s. transportation secretary anthony fox said airlines have a responsibility to help and support passengers in the event of a crash, something he says ashiana didn't do. >> reporter: with the wreckage still smoldering on the runway, according to the dot, passengers were left to fend for themselves, no way home, no way to recover luggage, no way to know what was going on. >> they did nothing to notify the family, or for that matter notify any passengers. >> reporter: michael danko is an expert in aviation safety issues and crashes. >> what was happening is passengers after the crash were brought to a holding area, and they went home. when they got home, they had no information like hey, can i get treatment? where do i get treatment? how do i get back home? where did i -- how do i get a flight? when will i get my stuff back i left in the airplane? >> reporter: fining asiana $5,000, the company failed to pub la size information and when passengers and family members found a number to call, it was a reservations clerk who knew little to nothing about the crash and how to help. >> on one hand they are good about giving out information they thought was in their best interest but did nothing to help the real victims of the crash and that precipitationed the action here. >> reporter: in fact, according to the dot. it took asiana five days to contact all passengers of the crash. advocates applauded the fine. they said in a statement quote, it's unacceptable that the airline was ill prepared and unable to meet basic needs of the family members of the crash victims in the hours and days following the crash. most notably, providing information. now for it's part, asiana said quote it provided extensive support for the passengers and their families following the accident and will continue to do so. however, mike danko points out while asiana was unavailable in the aftermath, the company moved quickly to make a public stand and threaten to sue one media outlet after the wrong names of the pilots were aired after the day of the crash. new details on an officer-involved shooting near the san jose state campus. police identified the officer who shot and killed a man last week. sergeant mike santos is a 15-year veteran with the police department. sergeant santos and another campus officer were responding to a call of a man with a knife on campus. they ordered the man to drop the knife. sergeant santos shot him when he lunged towards the other officer. the suspect then died in the hospital. police have not identified the suspect or released a motive. another search for sierra. divers back in the water, this time at a small lake in morgan hill. why there? it's where sierra lamar's accused killer used to go fishing. kris sanchez was out there with the divers today and joins us live from the santa clara sheriff's department and kris, did anything specifically prompt this dive today? >> reporter: that was the question. divers have searched that lake for clues of the disappearance of sierra before, most recently a couple weeks ago with a new piece of million dollar sonar equipment. today's search had nothing to do with the missing morgan hill teen. half a dozen divers with the santa clara sheriff under water search team spent five hours in the water on morgan hill officially there training, but unofficially people are hoping they are searching for sierra lamar. >> there is several reasons for that to be a place of interest, yes. >> reporter: mark garcia is working for ssierra's father an mother. this is a half mile from where the suspected killer's mother lived and where garcia-torrez used to go fishing. divers have searched the lake several times before, most recently on february 11th, the same day the grand jury indicted him on one count of murder and three counts of attempted kidnapping and carjacking. >> we looked in the lake multiple times and we're confident we don't have any evidence items that are in that lake. >> reporter: the dive team was training here because it's one of the few lakes that have enough water for zero visibility training without need for a boat and without getting the attention of the curious public. still, he said, if someone gives investigators a reason to focus on the search for sierra at that lake again, they will do it. >> we're constantly looking for tips. if people have tips, we'll act upon them. >> reporter: volunteers go out every saturday and many thursdays. one volunteer coordinators hopes sheriffs investigators know more than they are telling the public. >> i hope they are on to something. >> reporter: the judge in this case has ordered the documents related to that grand jury indictment sealed until at least a hearing in april. at that point, he may ordered them sealed until garcia goes to trial. his next court hearing is scheduled for march 3rd. by the way, people say they still welcome fresh eyes and perspectives and if anyone has a moment to lend to the search, they would welcome them. in san jose, kris sanchez. >> thank you. still ahead at 6:00, a workplace rift ending with a hit man. the disturbing investigation in the east bay, plus. >> do you want to explain to investors if they will get their money back? do you want to say anything, sir? >> why is this well-known real estate broker not answering our questions? investors came to the unit accusing him after bad business. after the break, the story of millions of missing dollars and what the state has now done. and good evening, i'm jeff ranieri. dry in the doppler radar now but we're tracking two different storm systems. i'll have the timeline on that in a few minutes. bay area investors lost millions of dollars, but tonight there is a victory of sorts. they brought the story to the investigative unit and there say major development to tell you about. >> the state of california came down hard on the real estate brocker accused of walking away with $15 million. tony first broke the story a couple years now. what is happening now with the local investors? >> raj, here is the deal. they lost the money but not the commitment to finding some sort of justice for the broker they once trusted. first, they filed complaints with the state and contacted law enforcement, but nothing happened. that has changed. >> mr. coloyl? do you have a minute. your investors want to know where their money went. the state of california says you're no longer worthy of a license. his name is and his company could be found on more than 20 civil lawsuits. his investors claim they are out more than $15 million. we've come to hear your side of the story. his name is w.b. coil. a well-known real estate broker in san francisco's beach. >> i've been through hell, eight years of hell because of him. >> it's unbelievable someone can steal all my money and who do i turn to? nobody does anything. it's ridiculous. >> reporter: they invested in properties and condos with w.b. coil believing it was a good business opportunity, a strong financial decision. >> what mr. coil had been doing is co-mingling massive amounts of money between various buildings. >> he shouldn't be able to practice real estate and i hope he ends up in prison. >> reporter: take a close look following an arbitration hearing last year. w.b. coil first ran away from our cameras and then drove away from our questions. he's found a way to avoid any public accountability until now. >> we accused in this particular case w.b. coil and his corporations of really the most agreous types of allegations. >> reporter: following our report and the state's investigation, the burro of real estate of corporations fraud, making misrepresentations on investments and dishonest dealing. >> in our world, those are the big guns. those are the things that are most severe. >> reporter: w.b. coil was then scheduled to defend actions including explaining what happened to the millions of investors accused him of taking but before a scheduled hearing. >> we entered into settlement talks with mr. coil, and then he agreed to surrenderer all of his corporate license and license rights. >> reporter: it's the burro's most serious penalty, and these public records provide confirmation. they show telegraph hill property's license was surrendered in connection with a disciplinary action. they include w.b. coil's signatures, agreeing that his real estate empire is now out of business. tony from bay area. can you tell us why you surrendered your license to the burro. after more than a year of declining requests for interviews and ignoring questions, we found w.b. coil on the streets of san francisco. do you want to explain to your investors if they will get their money back? do you want to say anything, sir? mr. coil, don't your investors deserve some sort of answer? you surrendered your license. they want to know why. will you explain? telegraph hill properties has lost its license for at least two years, according to the state's lead investigator it's likely to be much longer because before that license can be reinstated, w.b. coil must clear up all civil lawsuits and pay restitution. those investors can get some money back from the state. there is a fund set up for victims of fraud. in this case it's only $250,000, well short of the missing $15 million, but investors getting some satisfaction, he's out of business, and they may get some money back. >> let's hope so. >> thank you, tony. >> if you have a tip for tony, give us a call or sent us an e-mail to the unit at nbcbayarea.com. annest bay business owner is accused of trying to hire a hit man. joseph moses wanted to harm an ex employee. there was a tip off to his plot and they sent an undercover officer to pose. moses wanted the worker disfigured and agreed on a price for the crime. moses was upset about a labor dispute. he's being held on over a million dollar bail. what's happening in space can help our drought. nasa is joining the fight by sharing space technology. later this year, nasa will launch two satellites that will launch levees. satellites will measure rain and snowfall and defect sinking land where the ground water has been over pumped. experts say access to all this new information will help with weather forecasting, and water resource management. all right. let's turn things over to jeff ranieri, who is monitoring the water system, as well. we'll see rain in the next couple days. >> yeah, that storm system is getting close, you guys. this time last year temperatures in the low 70s, cooling off with the storm getting closer to the california coast. you can see in the north bay right now low 50s. coldest spot there in san francisco obviously looks like a storm system is coming in with the cloud deck beginning to lower. winds out of the southwest at 14 miles per hour and clouds on the increase here. as we head throughout tomorrow's forecast, not only will we have the chance here of rain increasing across the entire bay area, but the possibility of thunderstorms in the south bay also for the east bay, and then you can see here throughout san francisco, we may actually get in on rainfall as early as the morning hours. so let's take you into the future cast. you can see at 6:00 a.m. for tomorrow, a band of showers pass across the immediate coastline impacting santa rosa and san francisco. light at first but throughout 9:00 a.m. picking up in intensity across the north bay and then by the afternoon hours, at 3:00 this is when it looks like we could get a descent amount of uplift in the atmosphere and wide-spread coverage of rainfall from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 and 7:00 in the evening. you can see at times the future cast picking up on yellow here. that's instability in the atmosphere that could fire up off a few isolated thunderstorms in the forecast tomorrow. so let's go ahead and get a look. highlights of our first storm system. we're looking at also winds, 25 to 45 miles per hour, totals overall, 3/4 of an inch. a break on thursday, then the second storm system arrives throughout friday. we'll have more on how much this means for sierra snow later on. >> thank you, jeff. see you in a bit. coming up, what is in the water. a theory of when we could see radiation from japan's earthquake and tsunami washing up on our shores plus. >> i'm kimberly tere with more on the story of a couple that literally struck gold. how they found the buried treasure and what it's worth coming up. . the revitalization continues with the new restaurant opening in downtown san jose. it's maving into an area that's been dark and struggling to attract business. it's called first to market and taken over the ground floor. owners making the restaurant part of the arts theme by devoting a wall to a local artist each month. the race is on, who will be the new mayor of the bay area's biggest city. as of right now it's a wide-open race. larry joins us and larry, we're talking about a poll that came out about san jose, the next mayor, anything surprise you? >> lots of things. this pole was sponsored by the south bay labor federation and three other unions and from the outcome, you got to believe they are pretty happy with the results, at least for the moment. take a look here. we see results as of february 20th when this was finished, and what we saw at the top is dave cortesa with 19% and madison win with 15% and now there were a couple others at 4% and yes, about 38, 39% undecided, which tells you, as you said at the beginning raj, wide open. >> there is notable and well-funded names here. why aren't they standing out? >> that's one of several outties. sam raised the most money by far, three, four times as much as other candidates and yet, it hasn't helped much. even in his third-place standing. m madison nguyen and dave cortese at the top. why? perhaps other leading candidates are members of city counsel and maybe they are cancelling each other out. >> what should we expect in november? a run off because of a crowded field? >> yeah, look, unless somebody gets 50% plus one in june, the top two will oppose in november. with so many uncommitted voters at the moment, it may be a long time before we have a sense who they will be. >> before we go, mayor reed, the current mayor now endorsing anyone? >> we don't know yet. he's been quiet. several candidates are lead allies in one way or another. if he doesn't, it could be a big difference. >> thank you. analyzing the upcoming election. straight ahead, given life sentences. why a record number of murders and other convicts back on the streets. also. >> from the information your company stores in the crowd to your private information stored on your phone, security is huge these days. i'm scott budman. coming up, the biggest threat and what we can do to protect ourselves. i'm class cane in palo alto, if you are coming to dinner and looking for a place to park, good luck. what the city may be doing to change that coming up. frustrating and difficult, that's the parking situation in one peninsula city. what leaders are doing to keep you from going around and round and round to find a parking place. the city is palo alto where it's harder to snag a parking space than it is in san francisco. chase cane is live with ideas they are considering to kind of ease the parking crunch, chase? >> reporter: jessica, you're right. it can be a dance where you're sickling the block endlessly and they have a whole menu of things they are looking at including talking to uber and lift to see if they could be part of the zul solution because they are trying to reduce cars parked downtown by 30% and willing to do just about anything to achieve that goal. >> it could be difficult at busy times like lunchtime. >> reporter: when it comes to parking, palo alto has a reputation. >> i have more trouble parking here sometimes than i do in san francisco, and it's because so much of it is zoned to make it hard to park as opposed to san francisco. >> reporter: so what's the solution to make parking better here? >> i'm not sure i have that for you. >> reporter: but city counsel thinks it could be caltrain. one idea would give city employees free train passes in exchange for giving up parking permits. >> there is no one solution. we feel there is no silver bullet. what you want to do is push forward on a whole bunch of fronts, and, you know, solve it little by little by trying these different approaches. >> reporter: city counsel wants to revamp permit marking, add shuttles through palo alto taking a lesson. >> the founder of park wiz.com is right here. >> consumers will spend 2500 hours over the course of their life looking for a parking spot. that's 100 days of your life. >> reporter: and palo alto does not think that's time well spent. >> we want people to have an easy time parking. >> reporter: they realize to do that they have to add parking spaces. they will look at building garages, but that takes time and the first of next year, they have new parking permits going into effect. that will squeeze out a few spots that are available right now. that's why they are hoping to get at least some of these solutions in place sometime this year. >> thank you, chase. an accidental fire or foul play? a house went up in flames killing a man inside. it happened just after midnight in a cottage in the back of a home in san jose's buena vista neighborhood. they found the body after they knocked down the flames. he's not been identified. what is left of the cottage is now a crime scene. >> a break in the case tonight. san jose police arrested two suspects in connection with a deadly hit-and-run. 24-year-old andrew reynoso and 25-year-old mariscal. he was taken into custody for a murder and mariscal was arrested for being an accessory after the fact. a fight broke out at the capitol flea market and moved to capitol expressway. they say he intentionally drove his car into the crowd killing one man. apple says it fixed a huge security flaw that left iphones, ipads and maces vulnerable to security attacks. hackers could use wi-fi to see your e-mail and other information. a patch was released to repair it. apple fixed the problem for iphones and ipads last friday. the safety of your iphone was a hot top pick today at the biggest tech conference in the country. how do you keep the hackers away?
