Reber Plan Would Bring Water Here
Reber outlines a large scale water project crossing San Francisco Bay with two earth fills and a ship channel from Alameda to Point.

Opposition comes from Oakland merchants and civic leaders fearing traffic and cost. Reber urges community action and conservation as residents hear him on KWSO at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
