Building a stronger water future for Bloomington!

West Valley Water District recently broke ground on the Bloomington Phase 3B Water Infrastructure Improvement Project, the final phase of a long-term effort to modernize aging infrastructure and strengthen water service for the community.

Supported in part by $2 million in federal funding secured with the support of Congresswoman Norma Torres, the project will upgrade aging pipelines and fire hydrants, improve system reliability and fire flow capabilities, and enhance public safety.

Congratulations to West Valley Water District and its partners on this important investment in reliable, resilient infrastructure for generations to come!
