Water project funded: $49M for recycling to bring needed jobs to Inland Empire

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on July 6, 2009 at 5:23 pm

From the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin:

Two grants will allow the Inland Empire Utility Agency to increase its recycled-water capacity by about 10 million gallons a day.

The $49 million in state and federal stimulus money help make the area less dependent on imported water. The $14 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds accompany $35 million from the State Water Resources Control Board to finance the IEUA’s Northeast Area Regional Recycled Water Project.

That project will supply more recycled water to Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana by fall 2010 and boost job opportunities for contractors.

“We will have more of a reliable water supply in the future, ensuring that businesses and homeowners will have more reliable, less expensive local supplies than the more expensive imports,” said Rich Atwater, CEO and general manager of IEUA.
