On May 19, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) will consider a proposed resolution delegating authority and adopting guidelines to administer funding to provide interim emergency drinking water to disadvantaged communities (DACs) with contaminated drinking water, and funding to address drought-related drinking water emergencies or threatened emergencies. The guidelines state the intent to ensure funds are going to those communities most in need (i.e., without access to alternative sources of funding) and to clarify that failure to expend funds could result in cancellation of an agreement.
The proposed resolution and guidelines can be accessed here.
