EPA OKs Calif.’s Revised Drinking Water Spending Plan
On Tuesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the state's revised drinking water spending plan, which requires California to distribute at least $878 million to water system projects by mid-2016, more than double the amount of funding disbursed during the last four years. The revised plan came after EPA issued a noncompliance notice to the state for failing to distribute in a timely manner a large portion of federal funds allocated for safe drinking water projects.
