California seeks $69 million for water, sewer and pipeline upgrades
(UI) — California seeks roughly $69 million in federal funding for water, sewer and pipeline infrastructure projects across multiple communities.
A slate of federal funding requests for fiscal year 2027 includes multiple underground infrastructure projects across California focused on water, wastewater and pipeline systems.
In Escondido, a $3 million request would fund upgrades to aging storm drain infrastructure as part of the Escondido Creek Stormwater Management Project. On the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Reservation in Valley Center, a $38 million request is aimed at modernizing wastewater infrastructure to improve sewer system reliability.
Several projects focus on replacing aging drinking water systems. In Borrego Springs, a $3.6 million request would support removal and replacement of aging water lines, valves and fire hydrants. In Fallbrook, a $9.5 million request would fund replacement of failure-prone potable water distribution mains and rehabilitation of drinking water storage reservoirs.
Additional pipeline-focused work includes a $3 million request in Temecula for replacing high-risk drinking water pipelines to improve service reliability for homes, businesses and agricultural operations. A $5 million request in Murrieta would fund rehabilitation of a deteriorating regional wastewater pipeline serving both Murrieta and Temecula.
Other proposals target system-wide resilience and supply reliability. In Santee, a $1.5 million request would support infrastructure tied to advanced water purification and reuse, while in Poway, a $5 million request would enhance treated water facilities to improve supply reliability for more than 80,000 residents.
