News release: Congressman LaMalfa and California Republican delegation introduces sweeping water legislation
Today, Congressman Doug LaMalfa (CA-01) joined Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-21) and the entire California Republican delegation to introduce the Working to Advance Tangible and Effective Reforms (WATER) for California Act. This bill focuses on operational stability, infrastructure, and accountability to bring more water to the state. “For too long, farmers, ranchers, and municipalities have suffered from the gross mismanagement of California’s water by Washington and Sacramento. These unforced errors have led to drastic allocation cuts, fallow fields, perished livestock, tainted drinking water, and reduced water levels in reservoirs we rely on for fire suppression….” said Rep. Doug LaMalfa (CA-01).
