Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 awarded a Cooperative Agreement totaling $959,757 to Monte Vista Water District on March 26, 2026, under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to implement Phase II of the State Street Pipeline Replacement Project as directed in the 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The project will replace approximately 12,240 linear feet of deteriorated steel pipelines with new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes offering improved corrosion resistance and a service life exceeding 100 years. The work includes installing ductile iron fittings, mechanical joint restraining glands, restrained flange coupling adapters, and new gate valves, along with trenching and excavation to approximately 43 inches below ground surface. The project will also abandon failing lines and install new service laterals and hydrants in designated residential and connector streets.

The award provides full federal funding with an approved cost-share waiver effective August 4, 2025. Performance occurs in Montclair, California, with an ultimate completion date of December 17, 2026. Deliverables include a construction bid solicitation (RFP), construction contract, stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), and as-built drawings, documented through quarterly reports to EPA. Expected outcomes include improved fire flow capacity, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced emergency repair workload for district staff. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
