Meeting California's Long-Term Water Infastructure Needs

Gov. Schwarzenegger has made improving and securing California's water infrastructure a top priority because our growing population, current drought, court imposed limitations on water flows from the Delta and global warming all threaten the long-term sufficiency and viability of our state's water supply.

California’s water system is outdated and straining to meet the needs of our economy, families, farms and business. That is why Gov. Schwarzenegger worked with a broad coalition of environmental leaders, business and labor groups, farmers and water agencies to put The Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 on the November ballot to help solve this critical issue. The Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 will provide funding to repair what is broken with California's water system and is vitally needed to restore and improve our water system. This issue must be addressed this year because our state is facing a serious drought and Californians need a safe and reliable water supply.
