Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience

Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience

The California State Water Resources Control Board’s Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience Program provides tools, funding sources, and regulatory authorities designed to ensure that the 1 million Californians who currently lack safe drinking water receive safe & affordable drinking water by funding operations and maintenance costs, cost of consolidating with larger system, provision of replacement water, and funding for administrators to run the small systems.

The program was established from the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund through Senate Bill 200 (SB200) in 2019. The Fund will provide $130 million per year that will be used to develop and implement sustainable solutions for small systems with violations of drinking water standards. The money may be spent on operations and maintenance costs, cost of consolidating with larger system, provision of replacement water, and funding for administrators to run the small systems.
