EPA Region 9 awarded a $4.5 million Cooperative Agreement to the City of Madera on June 1, 2026, to rehabilitate approximately 14,780 lineal feet of existing sewer trunk main serving the city's wastewater treatment plant. The award funds a clean water infrastructure project mandated under the 2022 and 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Acts through the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202).

Work activities include project staging, surface and infrastructure preparation, setup of temporary bypass pumping, installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner, excavation of existing sewer main pipe where required in some segments, and installation of new pipe. All work occurs within the existing road right-of-way owned by the City of Madera. The recipient received approval for a cost-share waiver from EPA on March 13, 2026, making this full federal funding.

Anticipated deliverables include a project kickoff meeting, quarterly progress reports, project reports and summaries, and final project inspection and certification.
