Proposition 1 (2014), water bond
Bond authorization · California
authorized · ~$7.519B committed · ~$26M uncommitted
Promise
The Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 authorized general-obligation bonds for storage, watersheds, groundwater, regional projects, recycling and desalination, drinking water, and flood management.
Legal scope
The authorization is $7.545 billion, with chapter allocations tracked by the California Natural Resources Agency. Large chapters on that tracker include about $2.7 billion for storage (chapter 8) and about $1.495 billion for watersheds (chapter 6).
Timeline
Voters passed this Proposition 1 in November 2014. It is a different measure from the 2024 Proposition 1 on behavioral health and housing.
Approved funds versus committed amounts
The bond authorization is $7.545 billion. The CNRA tracker showed about $7.519 billion committed and about $26 million still uncommitted. The tracker’s own meaning of committed is appropriated in a current or prior budget, or proposed in a current proposed budget.
Cash spent and outcomesResearch pending
Committed is not cash spent in the field, and it is not a count of completed projects or a measure of water reliability. Those outcome series are not in this snapshot.
