The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to the water improvements program by expanding the scope of eligible projects for financial assistance. Specifically, it would add water hauling for water delivery to the list of projects that can receive funding from the County Board of Supervisors (BOS). This change aims to enhance access to water delivery systems for residents in need. Additionally, the bill would modify the restrictions on how grant recipients can use the funds. It would allow grant monies to be used for acquiring or installing one or more storage tanks for receiving and storing water delivered through water hauling, in addition to the existing uses related to deepening wells and plumbing for water delivery systems. This update reflects a broader approach to improving water access and infrastructure in residential areas.
