Rep. Norma Torres announced she secured $59 million in funding for vital water infrastructure and flood risk management projects in the Inland Empire.
As part of the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2024, the funding includes $35 million for the Three Valleys Municipal Water District and $24 million for flood risk management in San Bernardino County.
The bill will now go to President Biden to be signed into law.
"These funds will directly address critical water infrastructure needs and enhance flood protection for residents across Pomona, San Bernardino, and surrounding areas,” said Congresswoman Torres. “The $35 million for the Three Valleys Municipal Water District will ensure that local families have access to safe, reliable drinking water, while the $24 million for flood risk management will help safeguard homes and businesses from the devastating impacts of seasonal storms. I’m delighted that this legislation also approves local university Cal Poly Pomona for additional water-related federal research. I’m proud to have fought for these resources, and I look forward to seeing these projects come to life to protect and strengthen our district's water infrastructure.”
