About Proposition O
In 2004, Los Angeles voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition O, which authorized the City of Los Angeles to fund projects (up to $500 million) that prevent and remove pollutants from our regional waterways and ocean, consequently protecting public safety and meeting federal Clean Water Act regulations.
Proposition O funds projects that fall into 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 administer the projects funded by Proposition O.
