California State Senator Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, is pleased to announce that the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency has been awarded $5 million to improve sustainable groundwater use and storage through the California Department of Water Resources Sustainable Groundwater Management Grant Program.
“SCV Water is committed to providing a reliable water source for our valley that will ensure our future,” said Wilk. “While it is a new agency, SCV Water has already received many accolades and I am so pleased to see them receive the grant for this important work.”
Department of Water Resources recently announced it is awarding $187 million in grants to improve sustainable groundwater use and storage through its Sustainable Groundwater Management Grant Program. The funding will support 103 individual projects in 32 groundwater sub-basins overall, including those that affect Tribes and underrepresented communities.
This is the second phase of Sustainable Groundwater Management grants. The first phase, completed in 2022, awarded $150 million to 20 agencies responsible for critically overdrafted basins.
