The Bureau of Reclamation awarded the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians a Project Grant totaling $252,279 on August 26, 2025, under the Domestic Water Supply Projects program (CFDA 15.577) to complete planning and design activities for the Eastern Water System Well Development project. The recipient will deliver comprehensive planning and design services for a water delivery system that will transport water from the existing Eastern Well #2 located on the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians reservation in San Diego County, California (coordinates 33°17'31.20"N, 116°52'16.69"W). The project's primary objective is to identify feasible options that will provide the band with a reliable long-term water source for existing and future homes while addressing water quality concerns related to iron bacteria impacts.

This award is authorized under the Inflation Reduction Act and supports critical domestic water infrastructure development for a disadvantaged tribal community. The project must be completed by December 31, 2026, consistent with the program's standard two-year timeline for design phase funding. Upon completion of the planning and design phase, these deliverables will establish the technical and financial foundation for potential subsequent construction phase funding to implement the recommended water system improvements.
