Villa Park staff reports South Coast AQMD vote halting proposed natural‑gas rules
Summary
City staff reported that the South Coast Air Quality Management District governing board on June 6 voted 7‑5 not to approve proposed rule changes concerning emissions from natural‑gas‑fired fans and water heaters; the city had taken a position and staff said the outcome aligned with that stance.
City staff told the Villa Park City Council that the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) governing board voted 7‑5 on June 6 not to approve proposed rule changes addressing emissions from natural‑gas‑fired fans and water heaters.
A staff member said the city had taken positions opposing the proposed rules and that the governing board’s vote means the previously effective rules remain in place. “On June 6, the South Coast AQMD governing board voted 7 to 5 to not approve the changes,” the staff member reported.
Staff cautioned that the result does not preclude future rulemaking; they thanked council members and residents who provided input. The matter was presented as an update in the city manager’s monthly report rather than as a council action item.
