California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's suit against defendants for using its employees to drill its water wells without a required license, trial court's judgment against plaintiff after sustaining defendants' demurrer is reversed where the trial court erred in concluding that Water Code section 13750.5 does not apply to public entities such as defendant.
