California agency to receive federal water funding.(COMMUNITY)

Public Works, September, 2005

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will authorize $15 million in federal funding for water reclamation and distribution by California's Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency (BBARWA).

The Water Resources Development Act (HR 2864) passed by a 406-14 vote and is expected to move to the Senate prior to Congress' August recess.

BBARWA's general manager Steven Schindler stated that the funding will cover 50% to 75% of the cost for the proposed groundwater project. BBARWA is proposing to adopt and implement a Recycled Water Master Plan, which includes the use of groundwater recharge and recycled water. Recycled water will be considered for irrigation and natural uses, as well as industrial and commercial business.
