The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $16,447,858 Project Grant to the Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County through the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514). This funding will enable Western Municipal Water District, in partnership with Rubidoux Community Services District and Riverside Highland Water Company, to increase local potable water supply by 4,286 acre-feet per year. The project will construct three small-scale well water treatment facilities and one new well with an on-site treatment plant to treat contaminants like nitrates, PFAS, 1,2,3 trichloropropane, iron, manganese, and arsenic in the groundwater. This will reduce the demand on drought-stressed imported water supplies. The project is intended to improve long-term water reliability and local supply, as outlined in Western's drought contingency plan developed through a previous Bureau of Reclamation grant.
