Clarksburg Water Board

Clarksburg Water Board, a municipal utility entity and subsidiary of the City of Clarksburg, West Virginia, operates as a federal grant recipient and provides water utility services to federal agencies through firm fixed-price purchase orders, not under set-aside designations. Headquartered in Clarksburg, West Virginia, the entity is classified as a U.S. local government and has been registered to receive federal awards since 2004.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on two distinct lines of business. As a utility service provider, Clarksburg Water Board delivers potable water and wastewater management services to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division campus on a recurring annual basis; recent purchase orders span fiscal years 2022 through 2026, with contract values ranging from $235,360 to $278,200 per year. As a grant recipient, the entity partners with the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 to fund drinking water system infrastructure improvements serving the City of Clarksburg and surrounding Harrison County communities. A December 2024 EPA project grant funds installation of mixing, aeration, and power ventilation systems within drinking water storage tanks to increase system resilience to natural hazards and reduce trihalomethane byproducts, with a sub-award of $50,000 to the West Virginia Region VI Planning and Development Council for project administration services and a completion deadline of November 30, 2026. An October 2021 EPA cooperative agreement funds Phase 3A water system improvements including service line replacements in Northview, Rosebud, and Stealey communities and emergency repair of a water main break on West Pike Street, targeting replacement of 1,625 lead service lines and extending through December 30, 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Veterans Affairs, which accounts for 45 awards across the vendor's historical portfolio but carries minimal dollar value; the FBI Headquarters Division (Funding Federal Agency designation) anchors the highest-value awards at 14 contracts totaling $3.3 million in combined potential value, all serving the CJIS campus. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 holds two grant awards. Activity has been episodic, with five years of the past five showing only nine total awards (2021: 2; 2023: 2; 2024: 3; 2025: 1; 2026: 1), though the combined dollars obligated ($16.2 million) exceeds combined potential value ($4.7 million) due to multi-year grant funding streams. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $278 thousand. The vendor operates as a prime recipient on 98% of awards and holds only two sub-awards, both grant sub-awards from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection for water line extension projects. Capability portfolio concentrates on water supply systems (NAICS 42172, Water Supply and Irrigation Systems; PSC Utilities–Water covering 66 awards), with minimal exposure to ancillary services.
