The Low-Income Water Rate Assistance Act established through AB 401 (Dodd, 2015) directs the State Water Board to prepare a plan, in collaboration with the State Board of Equalization, that covers funding and implementation of a Low-Income Water Rate Assistance (LIWRA) Program.
The State Water Board must submit its report to the Legislature by February 1, 2018 on its findings regarding the feasibility, financial stability, and desired structure of the program, including any recommendations for legislative action.
To ensure the final report addresses concerns from stakeholders, the State Water Board has scheduled a series of public meetings across California, seeking input on program scenarios for providing affordable drinking water to low-income Californians as mandated by AB 401.
