Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
Funds expended for purposes of Section 12929.20 shall be expended only for an eligible project which is consistent with a grant application pursuant to Section 12929.21. The City of Los Angeles shall be the sole grantee for any funds expended for an eligible project.
For purposes of this section, “eligible project” means a water or power conservation project, a waste water reclamation project, a conjunctive use program, a groundwater recharge project, the enlargement of existing water or power facilities owned by the City of Los Angeles, electric power production facilities, or a water marketing program. Priority shall be given to projects or programs that conserve water or power that has been previously developed.
It is the intent of the Legislature that eligible projects are intended to find replacement water and power for the City of Los Angeles and to limit any impact of reduced diversions from the Mono Lake Basin on statewide water and power supplies, except for any reduced diversions ordered as specified in Section 12929.24. No money made available pursuant to this chapter shall be spent by the city to buy water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
