1. CCWA Officially Becomes Direct State Water Project Contractor The Department of Water Resources approved CCWA's assignment agreement on December 16, 2025, making CCWA the direct contractor with the State Water Project instead of operating through Santa Barbara County Flood Control.

The final document (Amendment 22) is expected to be executed by the end of 2025, marking a historic milestone for the agency's independence and ability to manage water resources for member agencies.
