Racial Equity at the Water Boards

Racial equity is a Water Boards’ priority. We are working toward a future where race no longer predicts a person’s access to water or the quality of water resources they receive, where race does not predict professional outcomes for our employees, and where we consistently consider racial equity impacts before we make decisions.

State Water Board’s Racial Equity Action Plan

The State Water Board adopted the Racial Equity Resolution in November 2021, which directed staff to develop a plan of action to advance racial equity within the Water Boards. The Racial Equity Team released a draft of the plan for consideration during public workshops in summer 2022 and has now revised the plan with feedback received from the workshops, the fall 2022 public comment period, and the comments of Water Board employees. The State Water Board’s Racial Equity Action Plan is a compilation of goals, actions, and metrics intended to advance efforts to create a future where we equitably preserve, enhance, and restore California’s water resources and drinking water for all Californians, regardless of race, and where Water Board employees reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of California.

The Racial Equity Action Plan was presented to the State Water Board as an informational item at the Board Meeting on January 18, 2023.
