News release: First two projects meet continuing eligibility requirements, move forward in Water Storage Investment Program
Two projects in the Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP), the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Expansion Project and the Harvest Water Program, met the statutory deadline to ensure progress and remain eligible for WSIP funding. Proposition 1, the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014, requires all WSIP applicants to complete their feasibility studies, release a draft version of their environmental documents for public review, provide the DWR director documentation of commitments for at least 75 percent of the non-program funding, and have the California Water Commission find their project feasible no later than January 1, 2022.
