About Orange County Water District
Orange County Water District, a public intermunicipal water agency based in Fountain Valley, California, is a federal grant recipient focused on drinking water infrastructure, water treatment innovation, and groundwater management in Southern California. The District operates as a prime recipient across federal water research and construction programs with no subrecipient engagement; all thirteen federal awards in the source footprint are prime grants.
The District's customer base concentrates with water-sector federal agencies. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation accounts for eight awards; the Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 accounts for two awards; and the National Science Foundation and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center account for one award each. This portfolio reflects a 100% coverage of the District's active federal footprint across five distinct agencies, with dominant concentration in Bureau of Reclamation cooperative agreements and EPA Congressionally Mandated Projects funding.
Recent capability work spans PFAS treatment infrastructure, water recycling monitoring, seawater intrusion planning, and advanced treatment feasibility research. A $1.75 million EPA Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 66.202) awarded March 1, 2026, funds design and construction of an ion exchange treatment system at the City of Santa Ana's Wells 27 and 28 to remove PFOA and PFOS contamination to non-detectable levels, with completion targeted for March 31, 2028. A $5 million EPA Cooperative Agreement (awarded January 1, 2023, completing December 31, 2024) funded installation of a PFAS treatment plant at a City of Tustin water treatment site using four ion exchange vessels. Three Bureau of Reclamation SECURE Water Act research cooperative agreements fund advanced research: a $437,544 agreement (December 4, 2025) develops modernized microbial water quality monitoring methods using droplet digital PCR and whole-genome metagenomic sequencing for water reuse applications; a $412,457 WaterSMART Planning and Design Grant (December 23, 2025) funds comprehensive water strategy development addressing seawater intrusion near Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, with stakeholder engagement from the City of Seal Beach, City of Huntington Beach, local irrigation districts, and the Department of Defense; and a $415,091 agreement (March 26, 2024) evaluates PFAS removal from reverse osmosis concentrate through adsorbent media and destruction technologies.
Activity reflects episodic federal engagement rather than continuous pipeline, with awards spread across 2022–2026 and three awards (combined potential value data not specified in portfolio block) completing within the next twenty-four months. The District operates as a 100% prime-recipient entity with no federal subcontracting exposure, indicating a capacity and compliance posture aligned with direct grant management for water utility infrastructure and research delivery rather than prime-contractor teaming.
