Western Municipal Water District Of Riverside County

Western Municipal Water District Of Riverside County (WMWD) is a local government utility provider serving nearly 1 million people across 527 square miles in western Riverside County, California. Registered in SAM.gov since 2001, the district provides water, wastewater, and recycled water services to both wholesale and retail customers. Through federal contract and grant awards, WMWD demonstrates extensive technical expertise in water infrastructure management, conservation, and technological optimization, consistently securing federal funding to improve water supply reliability, efficiency, and resilience.

On the federal contract side, WMWD has secured at least one notable contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, specifically a $1,445,773.68 firm fixed price purchase order for water utility services in Riverside, California. The contract, awarded in March 2022, involved providing essential water services to a national cemetery facility. While the data shows limited prime contract awards, WMWD has engaged in sub-contract work, such as a February 2025 sub-contract with Burns & Mcdonnell Engineering Company for sewer and water planning services.

WMWD has been remarkably successful in securing federal grants, particularly from the Bureau of Reclamation, focusing on water management, conservation, and infrastructure improvement projects. Grant awards totaling millions of dollars have supported initiatives like SCADA system installations, water reuse feasibility studies, advanced metering infrastructure deployment, groundwater treatment facility construction, and drought resilience planning. Notable grant programs include WaterSMART, Water Recycling and Desalination, Applied Science Grants, and the Defense Community Infrastructure Program. These grants address critical challenges such as water loss reduction, local supply enhancement, technological optimization, and military infrastructure support, with project scopes ranging from technological upgrades to comprehensive water management strategy development.
