The Biden administration recently proposed $310 million in new funds for the federal plant, in addition to $400 million already secured. Congress will have to approve the funding. UC Los Angeles law professor Peter Reich says that if the wastewater plant was run solely by the federal government, which has limited assets, the lawsuit would be less viable.
