‘Fiscal cliff’ for drinking water fixes: Californians with bad tap water could have a longer wait
The state program that helps bring solutions for Californians with contaminated drinking water is facing a major drop in funding. At a meeting in Sacramento last week, state officials presented estimates that grant money to help communities get clean drinking water, including by drilling new wells or connecting to nearby water systems, could fall from $941 million in the current fiscal year to about $103 million in 2027-28. Both state and federal funds are going away. Some at the meeting called it a looming “fiscal cliff.”
