WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING

The Division of Financial Assistance (DFA) administers the Water Boards' financial assistance programs, including programs such as loan and grant funding for the construction of municipal sewage, drinking water, and water recycling facilities; remediation of groundwater contamination, including underground storage tank releases; watershed protection and nonpoint source pollution control projects. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18, DFA allocated $11.7 billion of the $19 billion available (63 percent of available funding) to fund current projects. This card describes the substantial monetary commitment that the State and federal government made towards the development and improvement of water and wastewater infrastructure and planning needs.

WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT

The State of California is geographically diverse, abundant in natural resources, and has a population of nearly 40 million people. The water quality of many water bodies and groundwater are impacted or threatened by past and current human activities, as well as natural sources of contamination. Enhancing the availability, affordability, and reliability of our drinking water supplies is becoming increasing challenging. The State is making a concerted effort to provide safe, clean, affordable drinking water, improve water quality of our streams, lakes, and groundwater aquifers, and maintain clean beaches through the passage of bond measures and dedication of other State and federal funding to provide support for these critical areas. The Water Boards administer numerous grant and loan programs for the purposes of improving groundwater and surface water quality, providing or enhancing critical wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, and improving local water supply reliability through water recycling and storm water capture projects. Funding of projects is a strategic activity conducted by the Water Boards that requires a significant amount of work in terms of processing applications, establishing priorities and approving and tracking the use of funds. Funding is prioritized to encourage construction of the most important projects and is a key component of the State's efforts to incentivize improvements in water quality and water infrastructure.
