The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $2,260,788 WaterSMART Project Grant (CFDA 15.507) to the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District located in southwestern Riverside County and eastern Orange County, California. The grant funding will support the design of the rehabilitation and replacement of the Corydon Well, including a new well and intertie infrastructure at the existing Corydon Blend Station and transmission main. This project, which has a performance period from August 29, 2024 to September 30, 2027, is part of the district's efforts to secure sustainable local groundwater supplies and reduce dependence on expensive and vulnerable imported water sources. The design work will include final engineering plans, specifications, and cost estimates, enabling the district to prepare for construction.

Elsinore valley municipal water district, located in southwestern riverside county and eastern orange county, california, will design the rehabilitation and replacement of the corydon well including a new well, and intertie infrastructure at the existing corydon blend station and transmission main. The design will include final engineering plans, specifications, and cost estimates, enabling the district to prepare for construction. Local groundwater is a crucial source of supply to mitigate recurring droughts and shift away from expensive and vulnerable imported water from the sacramento-SAN joaquin delta and the colorado river. This project was prioritized through extensive planning efforts by the district to secure a sustainable and responsible water future in the region, including the districts 2021 groundwater sustainability plan.
