Water Partnership Success Stories

The State of California made clean drinking water a legislative right for all residents in 2012 with AB 685, the Human Right to Water bill. The Water Board’s SAFER program advances the Human Right to Water by supporting water systems and communities to achieve sustainable drinking water solutions.
