Most of the funding from the Safe, Clean Water Program is channeled into regional infrastructure and local municipal programs that directly clean and capture stormwater. However, 10% of the Program’s resources are reserved for administration, technical assistance, and countywide initiatives that benefit everyone.

Altogether, that 10% is referred to as the District Program, because it’s administered by the LA County Flood Control District.

The District Program provides oversight and assistance, and generally makes sure the Safe, Clean Water Program functions at peak performance. It also oversees countywide initiatives that range from public education efforts to programs that will train the next generation of workers to build, operate, and maintain LA’s new infrastructure.
