Rep. Jim Costa announced today that Valley water projects would receive more than $3.4 million in WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grants from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The grants will help fund infrastructure improvements that will increase efficiency and reduce pumping.

"In our current dry year, farmers and water contractors doing all they can to make good use of scarce water resources," said Costa. "These investments will help save water and reduce energy use by modernizing our water infrastructure. There is no silver bullet to solve our water needs, but improvements like this move us closer to a secure water future."
