California water infrastructure and security efforts

Overview

California is implementing various infrastructure and legislative measures to enhance water security and drought resilience. Major projects include the Sites Reservoir, which is entering an investment period following a revised water right permit, and the completion of a $14.3 million upgrade to the Santa Ynez Drinking Water Reservoir in Los Angeles to meet federal safety requirements.

Further efforts include a $78 million water main improvement project in Los Angeles and the completion of a $235 million valve system rehabilitation at Oroville Dam. On the legislative front, a bipartisan Senate committee bill has passed to secure funding for desalination projects to address water stress in the western United States.
