SACRAMENTO ~ Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that California has facilitated more than 100 water system consolidations since 2019, providing safe drinking water to 90,000 people in communities across the state. This is part of the Governor's commitment to ensuring access to clean drinking water for all Californians.
Since Governor Newsom took office in 2019, the State Water Board has used a variety of tools, including consolidation, to improve access to safe drinking water for close to 2 million Californians. To support local water systems with safe drinking water projects, the Governor signed legislation establishing the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. The fund has provided $620 million in grants for drinking water projects in disadvantaged communities since 2019.
The Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience Program (SAFER) is a key component of the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. It focuses on consolidating small, at-risk or failing water systems into larger, higher capacity systems. SAFER has provided over $815,000 in grants for Westside Elementary's consolidation into the Coachella Valley Water District alone. Before its consolidation, Westside Elementary relied on contaminated well water.
