Funding Agreement serves as an example of successful State & Tribal Government collaboration.
September 7, 2022
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority celebrate the signing of a funding agreement that provides $ 15 Million in direct financial assistance to Tribal communities.
As California experiences a third consecutive year of drought - and plans for the possibility of a fourth dry year to come - many communities face challenges in accessing clean, safe drinking water. This funding will help advance water infrastructure projects that will improve water for families, enhance water supply reliability, and upgrade existing water infrastructure on Tribal lands.
"This is a historic achievement demonstrating that the Tribes and the State can work together to achieve a common goal," said Bo Mazzetti, President of the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority. "It is our hope to continue our positive working relationship. This achievement is a major step in the right direction."
