About Carpinteria Valley Water District
Carpinteria Valley Water District, a California local government entity headquartered in Carpinteria, receives federal grant funding for water infrastructure construction as a prime recipient under the Bureau of Reclamation's Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief Program and related federal water programs. The District operates exclusively in the federal grant space with no contract prime or subcontract presence; it acts as a prime grant recipient on two active Bureau of Reclamation projects and as a sub-recipient on a California State Water Resources Control Board sub-grant.
The District's federal footprint centers on two large water infrastructure projects addressing California's groundwater sustainability and drought resilience. The primary award is a $5.798 million Bureau of Reclamation grant (CFDA 15.514, Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief Program) dated February 5, 2026, for construction of an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) compatible well to replace the failing Smillie Well in Carpinteria. The project includes demolition of the existing well, construction of a new 1,000 acre-feet-per-year (900 gallons per minute) production well, site development for extraction and injection operations, ASR permitting, and conversion of the existing Smillie Well to a monitoring well, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2027. This project directly supports the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin's Groundwater Sustainability Plan by increasing the District's operational production wells from two to three and expanding monthly production capacity by 27 percent.
The second prime award, dated September 13, 2023, funds the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project, a 1.0 million gallons per day advanced water purification facility to treat wastewater effluent from the Carpinteria Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Plant. The facility includes membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, advanced oxidation processes, roughly 9,000 feet of pipeline, two injection wells, and up to four monitoring wells, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. The project is projected to increase the District's potable water supply by an average of 1,050 acre-feet per year after implementation, covering approximately 25 percent of the District's water supply needs. The District also participates as a sub-recipient on a November 20, 2024 California State Water Resources Control Board grant that funds recycled wastewater distribution within the District service area. Combined obligations across all awards total $120.1 million, with two awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months.
