SCV Water secures funding to build 12-inch pipeline for LARC Ranch, Lily of the Valley in Calif.
Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCV Water) has finalized plans to deliver a long-awaited, permanent water supply to LARC Ranch and Lily of the Valley Mobile Village, bringing much-needed relief to the Bouquet Canyon area.
This project marks a significant step toward improving water reliability in a region that has sought a new water source for over a decade.
At its Nov. 19 meeting, the SCV Water Board approved a contract with Steve Bubalo Construction Co. to build the pipeline and an onsite pump station. The board also awarded MWH Constructors, Inc. the contract for construction management and inspection services.
Grant funding from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has increased from an initial $3.93 million to $8.1 million, covering costs such as design, construction, and contingency funds.
“We’re thankful to work with the State Water Resources Control Board on this project,” said Brent Payne, SCV Water principal engineer. “Their funding and support will help SCV Water provide a safe and reliable water supply for these customers.”
The project includes constructing a 12-inch pipeline, master meters, and an onsite pump station. SCV Water is contributing $415,700 to upgrade from an 8-inch to a 12-inch pipeline, allowing other nearby properties to connect.
Construction is set to begin in December 2024, with the pipeline expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
“This project has been a decade in the making,” Payne noted. “This new public water system will increase drought resiliency and reliability in this part of our service area.”
