City Of Horseshoe Bend

City of Horseshoe Bend, a local government entity based in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, receives federal grant funding for domestic water infrastructure development and operates as a prime grant recipient with the Rural Utilities Service and secondary water-system recipients of state and federal sub-grants.

The City of Horseshoe Bend is a U.S. local government (city government) with no federal contract awards and no presence on federal procurement vehicles. Its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded. The vendor received a $498,000 Project Grant award from the Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) on April 29, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2028, to support domestic water infrastructure development serving a financially needy rural community. The RUS program funds design, construction, repair, and enhancement of drinking water systems that ensure reasonable user costs for rural residents in underserved areas. The City of Horseshoe Bend will utilize the grant funds to advance its domestic water infrastructure objectives within the two-year performance period.

Over its award history spanning from 2015 to 2026, the City has received four total federal awards — two as a prime grant recipient and two as a sub-grantee — with a combined $4 million in obligated dollars. Customer agencies include the Department of Agriculture (Rural Utilities Service and Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services), the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10, and the Department of Energy. As a sub-grantee, the City received funding through the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in June 2024 to address harmful algae blooms by constructing two new wells, reconstructing existing treatment components, adding a redundant treatment train, and adding redundant disinfection. A March 2024 sub-grant from the Executive Office of the State of Idaho funded replacement of an existing booster pump in the water treatment plant with a more efficient unit equipped with variable frequency drive (VFD) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) capability. The City has one award (the April 2026 RUS grant) with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.
