“For decades, the San Gabriel Basin Restoration Fund has powered the Water Quality Authority’s work to clean up our groundwater, and this bill would provide the long-term federal support needed to finish the job. I’m proud to join Congressmember Cisneros in leading this effort, building on our work securing federal Community Project Funding for this project. Families across the San Gabriel Valley deserve a safe, reliable, and sustainable source of drinking water for generations to come.”

Congressman Gil Cisneros (CA-31) and Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-28) introduced the San Gabriel Basin Restoration Fund Reauthorization Act, which would remove the funding cap for the ongoing groundwater treatment by the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority, reauthorize funding at $250 million, and support the completion of the ongoing water restoration project.

Requested Amount: $10,000,000 Project Description: The funding would support the San Gabriel Restoration Fund (PL 106-554), which was established in 2001 to support design, construction and ongoing treatment and remediation costs required to facilitate groundwater cleanup efforts in the San Gabriel Basin.
Assessments
The verified passage shows Chu materially contributed by joining Cisneros in introducing the San Gabriel Basin Restoration Fund Reauthorization Act, which is documented effort toward the promise. However, the passage only says the bill would remove the funding cap, reauthorize $250 million, and support completion; it does not show enactment, appropriated long-term federal support, or completion of groundwater restoration. Because introduction alone does not fulfill a promise to provide long-term support or complete the project, and no deadline has expired, the outcome remains unresolved.
