The Las Virgenes Municipal Water District received a $41,401,172 Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504). The funding will support the construction of an Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) to treat tertiary effluent for indirect potable reuse, as well as pipelines to convey source water, purified water, and reverse osmosis concentrate. This project, known as the "Pure Water Project Las Virgenes-Triunfo," aims to increase water supply reliability and drought resilience for the district's customers in several small rural cities. Additionally, the district received a $4.6 million WaterSMART grant from the Bureau of Reclamation to enhance its water metering capabilities. The project period runs from the September 18, 2023 award date through the September 30, 2025 planned completion date.
