Summary

The bill creates a Water Affordability and System Stabilization Trust in the State Treasury, with the state treasurer acting as trustee. Earnings from the trust will be split between a Water Rate Assistance Fund that helps low‑income households pay their bills and a Community Water Affordability Assistance Fund that grants money to local water systems for infrastructure projects, with a phased distribution schedule over the first 25 years and then permanently. The measure is intended to keep water rates affordable while helping communities cover costly system upgrades.
