The Bureau of Reclamation awarded $838,221 to the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507) on February 25, 2026. The grant funds 65% of final design plans for the Mill Creek Groundwater Recharge Facility expansion, with project completion targeted for June 30, 2027. This design effort will advance the facility's increased capacity and operational flexibility to support enhanced groundwater recharge capabilities in the San Bernardino Basin. The project directly addresses regional water supply vulnerabilities by enabling greater capture and storage of water during wet periods to sustain supplies through prolonged drought cycles. Given the region's exposure to drought, unreliable water imports, and wildfire risk, the expansion is identified as a top priority in the East Valley Water District's drought contingency plan. The San Bernardino Basin's storage capacity of over 5.6 million acre-feet of water makes this infrastructure improvement critical to climate change adaptation and long-term water resource reliability in Southern California.Federal Grant Award Summary
