West Valley Water District

West Valley Water District, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Rialto, California, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for drinking water infrastructure projects and participates as a sub-recipient on emergency management and water resource programs. The district operates exclusively in the federal grant space — no contract prime awardees or contract vehicles — with a footprint dominated by sub-recipient roles (75% of recent awards) under state and federal grantors.

West Valley Water District's prime grant work centers on EPA-funded water infrastructure. The most recent award is a $2.0 million Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), effective April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, to design and construct the Bloomington Alleyway Pipeline Project — a new water main and fire hydrant installation within the district's Bloomington service area. Deliverables include construction contract execution, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and as-built documentation, tracked through quarterly project reports. EPA approved the district's cost-share waiver on August 15, 2025, meaning this award carries full federal funding. The project targets improved meter access for customer service and reduced district staff time on infrastructure maintenance and failure response.

The district's sub-recipient footprint spans emergency management, water resource development, and COVID-19 relief. Sub-awards include two critical infrastructure and key resources protection grants (both July 18, 2025), an Emergency Generator Project (LPDM24-PJ0006, November 12, 2024) from an unspecified federal source, and two COVID-19 assistance sub-awards from the California Office of Emergency Services (March 13, 2024). The district also received a sub-award from the California Water Resources Control Board (August 8, 2023) for expansion and rehabilitation of the Roemer Water filtration facility, increasing capacity from 14.4 MGD to 21.6 MGD to treat additional State Water Project water, including ultraviolet recovery upgrades, electrical and mechanical improvements, and water recycling line replacement.

The district's customer concentration reflects its regional and state orientation. Across eight total awards in the source data spanning 2016 to 2026, the EPA Region 9 and Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters each account for two awards, with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation rounding out named customers. Activity has been intermittent — one award in 2016, one in 2023, three in 2024, and two in 2025 — with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $50.4 million, with the district serving three distinct customer agencies. The district's role is confined to grant administration and infrastructure project delivery; it does not pursue federal contracts or sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
