The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $21,823,000 Project Grant under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to the City of Cheney, Washington. The purpose of the award is to reduce demand on Cheney's potable water supply by constructing infrastructure improvements to supply up to 1 million gallons per day of reclaimed irrigation water. This includes upgrading the City's wastewater treatment and reclamation plant, building a new reclaimed water pump station, and installing a 3-mile transmission pipeline to distribute the reclaimed water to public facilities such as schools, parks, athletic fields, and a cemetery within the city limits. The project aims to provide a drought-resistant water source and increase water management flexibility for the Cheney community.
