By proactively replacing outdated infrastructure, the project will help maintain a reliable water supply to support public safety, economic growth and Californians’ well-being 

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Today, Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) announced that he secured $1,092,000 in community project funding for Cucamonga Valley Water District’s (CVWD) Baseline Waterline Improvement Project. This grant funding will strengthen the resilience and dependability of the Inland Empire’s clean water infrastructure by allowing CVWD to replace 3,800 linear feet of 12-inch waterline along Baseline Road, spanning from Deer Creek Channel to Milliken Avenue. 

The new waterline will directly benefit more than 100,000 people in California’s 33rd Congressional District by providing a more resilient and dependable water distribution system to ensure the delivery of clean water to residents and businesses.

“Access to clean, reliable water is crucial for the well-being and quality of life of every Californian,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “That’s why I am proud to deliver more than $1 million for Cucamonga Valley Water District’s Baseline Waterline Improvement Project. Our homes, schools, businesses and hospitals rely on our water supply to function and support daily life. That’s why water infrastructure upgrade projects like this one are such important investments for our community. By proactively modernizing this infrastructure, we’re preventing future water distribution issues that could put people’s health and safety at risk. I’ll keep fighting to deliver resources that help ensure the health of our neighbors in the Inland Empire for years to come.”

“We appreciate Congressman Aguilar’s partnership and support for this important infrastructure project,” said President Randall Reed, Cucamonga Valley Water District. “This federal investment allows us to address aging waterlines in a proactive and fiscally responsible way while reducing costs for our ratepayers.” 

“This project is about reliability and resilience for the community we serve,” said Vice President Jim Curatalo, Cucamonga Valley Water District. “By proactively replacing aging infrastructure, we’re protecting public safety and ensuring dependable water service for generations to come.”

In January 2026, Rep. Aguilar helped pass the Commerce, Justice, Science, Energy and Water Development, and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act of 2026, which included $7.4 million in federal community project funding grants for seven projects in California’s 33rd Congressional District.
