The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (CFDA 15.530) on January 1, 2025. The purpose of this grant is to develop the Murrieta System Optimization Review (SOR), which will examine the district's water supply sources, assess water quality parameters, analyze imported water availability, and identify potential improvements to the water supply system. This project aims to address the district's increasing concerns regarding the reliability of imported water due to climate change, competing demands, and environmental goals, as well as local groundwater contamination issues. The SOR will support long-term water security and benefit the district's customers in the Murrieta retail service area.
