Contact Legislators to Approve Prop. 4 Spending Plan by ACWA Staff Aug 15, 2025 Water News SACRAMENTO — ACWA is urging member agencies to sign a coalition letter and contact their legislators in support of a spending plan for Proposition 4, the $10 billion climate resilience bond approved by voters last year. The Legislature has delayed implementation of this critical funding despite shovel-ready projects waiting on funding to move forward. If a spending plan isn’t approved by Sept. 12, it will be delayed until the 2026 Legislative Session. Proposition 4 includes $2.91 billion in funding for nine water-related categories. By law, the Legislature must approve a spending plan in order for state agencies to begin the grant solicitation process. Timely approval of a spending plan would recognize how this bond funding is a critical tool for public agencies to implement crucial projects in their communities. In some cases, delaying implementation of the funding could cause vital infrastructure projects to also be delayed. An Aug. 14 ACWA Legislative Alert contains more information and a link for agencies to add their logo to an ACWA letter. Member login is required.
