Position Letter: SB 222 (Dodd) – Water Affordability Mar 2, 2021 Comment Letters To: Chair, Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications Subject: SB 222 (Dodd) – Water Affordability Assistance Program Position: Oppose Unless Amended Letter excerpt: The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) respectfully writes to express our oppose-unless-amended position on SB 222, a bill that would create a water affordability program. Consistent with ACWA’s “Watch” position on AB 401 (Dodd, 2015), there could be a bill written that would create a reasonable, efficient and effective statewide water low-income rate assistance (water LIRA) program. However, the introduced version of SB 222 needs significant work to meet those standards. Download Comment Letter
