Body
SUMMARY:
In November 2020, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure S, renewing Santa Clara Valley Water District's (Valley Water) Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program (Safe, Clean Water Program or Program). This measure provides continued funding through a special parcel tax for projects delivering safe water, natural flood protection, and environmental stewardship. The Safe, Clean Water Program, effective July 1, 2021, replaced the 2012 Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program in its entirety, carrying forward funding for previously identified capital projects and replacing other projects with comparable initiatives.
The Program addresses six community priorities:
* Priority A: Ensure a Safe, Reliable Water Supply
* Priority B: Reduce Toxins, Hazards, and Contaminants in Our Waterways
* Priority C: Protect Our Water Supply and Dams from Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters
* Priority D: Restore Wildlife Habitat and Provide Open Space
* Priority E: Provide Flood Protection to Homes, Businesses, Schools, Streets, and Highways
* Priority F: Support Public Health and Public Safety for Our Community
