Almost all of the state’s residents have cut their water use because of the drought, half of likely voters will support an $11.1 billion bond for state water projects and a record-high share of Californians, 55 percent, say the water supply is a big problem where they live.

These were among the highlights of a statewide survey by the Public Policy Institute of California, released Wednesday.

The Legislature is considering several new water bond measures for the November ballot, all of them pared back from the $11.1 billion proposal, which has been pulled from the ballot twice because of the state’s fiscal problems.

The revised bond measures are more limited than the expansive 2010 measure and would cost less, with proposals ranging from $5 billion to $9 billion. The PPIC survey found that support for a water bond would increase to 59 percent of likely voters if the measure was for a lower amount.

    I read the rest of the article, I think that it is a bunch of B.S., the survey must have been taken by a Democrat! once again lies and more lies, there is no truth to their survey unless they only called Democrats.Who wants to spend 11 billion dollars to send water to L.A. ?? Who wants the high Speed Rail at a cost of billions of dollars ??
