About Us
What We Do
The Restated Joint Powers Agreement was amended on December 31, 2020 to help design, develop and implement the proposed Delta Conveyance program, an infrastructure project to support the resiliency of California’s fresh water supply via a proposed single tunnel solution.
Who We Are
The current JPA was amended on December 31, 2020 to expand the current Board of Directors from four members to seven. The DCA is a JPA formed by participating PWAs that receive water from the SWP, who are SWC members, providing services to DWR under the terms of the JEPA for consideration of a potential Delta Conveyance Project. Current and future DCA member agencies have been voting on participation in the upcoming planning work for the Delta Conveyance Project. These votes include (1) level of participation in DCP, (2) funding agreement with DWR for DCP, and (3) approval of a revised DCA JPA. DCA is governed by and existing solely as a result of the JPA.
