The State Water Resources Control Board convened on June 17, 2025, to discuss various initiatives and projects aimed at improving water management and infrastructure in California. The meeting highlighted recent developments in water systems, particularly in Los Angeles County and Placer County.

The session began with acknowledgments from board members regarding their participation in the LA County Water Summit.

The progress of this project was celebrated as a model for future efforts across the state.
