The Bureau of Reclamation awarded $1,573,076 to the Rubidoux Community Services District (RCSD) on January 28, 2026, under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) to construct the Wilson Intertie, a potable water interconnection pipeline connecting RCSD with the West Valley Water District. The project, located in Jurupa Valley, California, will deliver up to 2,000 acre-feet annually of surface water to supplement RCSD's current 100% reliance on groundwater, creating supply redundancy exceeding 35% of the district's annual average consumption. The infrastructure improvement addresses critical water security challenges by enhancing supply reliability, enabling blending of groundwater and surface water for improved quality management, and strengthening system hydraulics to support firefighting capabilities through increased water flow and pressure. These enhancements are particularly significant given RCSD's proximity to high-risk wildfire areas. The project aligns with RCSD's Urban Water Management Plan and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2027, demonstrating the program's focus on drought resilience and water infrastructure improvements in western United States water districts facing resource challenges.
