SCV WATER SUPPORTS GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S PROPOSAL TO STREAMLINE DELTA CONVEYANCE PROJECT APPROVALS AND REDUCE COSTS

On Wednesday, May 14, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a proposal to eliminate costly red tape and litigious delays for the Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) while maintaining environmental protections. The DCP is a critical infrastructure modernization project that will protect and maintain the State Water Project, California’s most reliable and affordable source of water. The State Water Project provides clean, high-quality water supplies to 27 million Californians, 750,000 acres of farmland and three-quarters of the state’s population living in disadvantaged communities. It also accounts for approximately half of the annual water supply for all residents and businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley.
