Projects will provide ultra-pure, drought-proof recycled water
YUCAIPA – (INT) - The federal EPA and the Yucaipa Valley Water District have signed $150 million in loan documents to fund 11 new water and energy projects.

The new water and energy projects will benefit the entire San Bernardino Valley region, according to the Yucaipa Valley Water District.

Manager Joseph Zoba said the valley “will become less reliant on imported water and regional energy supplies, and more reliant on the use of ultra-pure, drought-proof recycled water making the Yucaipa Valley a model community for other areas in the arid southwest United States.”
