Proposition O

Proposition O authorized the City of Los Angeles to fund projects (up to $500 million) designed to prevent and remove pollutants from our regional waterways and ocean, consequently protecting public safety while meeting Federal Clean Water Act regulations. Los Angeles voters overwhelmingly passed the measure in 2004.

 

Proposition O funds projects are represented in one or  more of the following categories:  

  • Water-quality protection of rivers, lakes, beaches, bays and the ocean
  • Water conservation, drinking water and source protection
  • Flood water reduction, river and neighborhood parks that prevent polluted runoff and improve water quality
  • Stormwater capture, cleanup and re-use

 
An Administrative Oversight Committee (AOC) and Citizens Oversight Advisory Committee (COAC) administer the projects funded by Proposition O.
