Continue modernizing California's water management by reforming outdated regulations and prioritizing construction of water storage and conveyance infrastructure.

We must continue to bring California’s water management practices into the 21st century by reforming decades-old regulations and prioritizing the construction of water storage and conveyance infrastructure.

Fong says he will keep pushing regulatory reform and new water storage and conveyance construction.

First, we must build more water storage and conveyance infrastructure. Second, we must adopt modern management tools and scientific practices to better manage water supplies. Finally, we must reform our environmental management strategy to balance ecosystem protection with ensuring water availability for our communities.

Fong calls for building more water storage and conveyance infrastructure, adopting modern water-management tools, and reforming environmental management rules to improve water availability.

The office’s Congress page, updated within the last week, points to a March 17, 2026 press release stating that the Department of the Interior will provide California with $540 million in federal funding that will directly benefit the state’s water infrastructure. That is a concrete funding action tied to water infrastructure modernization, but it is not itself evidence that the broader regulatory-reform and infrastructure-construction pledge has been fully completed.

Recent official office materials show a water-infrastructure funding win, but not completion of the broader modernization pledge.

Fong said he voted for FY2026 Energy and Water appropriations and that the bill would fund water storage, restore canal conveyance capacity, and support reauthorization of the WIIN Act through 2027. The release describes advocacy and appropriations activity for storage and conveyance infrastructure, which is meaningful follow-through but still falls short of proving that the promised modernization agenda has been delivered in full.

He has advanced appropriations and advocated for storage and conveyance projects, but the broader promise remains only partly delivered.

The Congress issues page, current within the lookback window, links to Fong’s March 17, 2026 water announcement and repeats his statement that California must keep modernizing water management by reforming decades-old regulations and prioritizing construction of water storage and conveyance infrastructure. The page shows continued public advocacy, but it does not document enacted regulatory reform, completed storage/conveyance construction, or any other final fulfillment of the pledge.

Recent official materials show the pledge still being actively advocated, but not delivered in full.
