The Bureau of Reclamation awarded $5.8 million to Carpinteria Valley Water District on February 5, 2026, under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) to construct an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) compatible replacement well in California. The project encompasses demolition of the failing Smillie Well, construction and permitting of a new ASR-capable well located at the intersection of Lillingston Canyon Road and Casitas Pass Road, and development of the facility for water extraction and injection operations. The existing well will be converted to a monitoring well upon completion. The new well is expected to produce up to 1,000 acre-feet per year (900 gallons per minute), increasing the District's monthly production capacity by 27% and establishing a third reliable production well. The ASR capability will enable the District to store up to 500 acre-feet annually during wet periods for use during drought conditions, directly addressing groundwater overdraft risks identified in the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin's Groundwater Sustainability Plan. This infrastructure improvement will enhance the District's drought resilience and enable it to meet customer demand during Stage 2 droughts solely through groundwater resources. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027.Federal Grant Award Summary
