Representative Adam Gray (CA‑13) has introduced a sweeping federal water package designed to accelerate long‑delayed infrastructure projects, expand storage capacity and streamline permitting — a proposal that could reshape water reliability for Westside communities that have long been at the center of California’s water crisis. The End the California Water Crisis Package, unveiled last week, includes three bills: the Central Valley Water Solution Act, the WATER Act and the Build Now Act. Together, they aim to modernize California’s water system by authorizing new storage projects, improving federal coordination and imposing enforceable timelines on environmental reviews that often stall construction for years.
