CVWD is pleased to highlight the completion of two landscape transformation projects at Old Town Park and Bear Gulch Park as part of the Turnkey Turf Transformation (T3) Program, a regional water-saving initiative led by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency in partnership with local water agencies.

The T3 Program is funded through an Urban Community Drought Relief Grant from the California Department of Water Resources, awarded to IEUA through the California Budget Act of 2021. The program focuses on replacing non-functional turf, grass that serves little practical purpose, with California-friendly landscaping and high-efficiency irrigation systems that reduce water use while maintaining attractive public spaces.

Through CVWD’s grant allocation, approximately 58,000 square feet of non-functional turf was removed and replaced with drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation at Old Town Park and Bear Gulch Park in partnership with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Located near North Town Community Center and Bear Gulch Elementary School, these parks now highlight water-efficient landscaping for the community to enjoy.

While the new landscaping has just been installed, the plants will continue to grow and fill in over the next one to two years, further enhancing the appearance and water-saving benefits of the sites.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA — On February 18, 2026, the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) welcomed Congressman Pete Aguilar for a ceremonial check presentation recognizing $1.092 million in federal funding secured through the Community Project Funding program. The funding will support CVWD’s Baseline Waterline Replacement Project, a critical infrastructure investment benefiting the local community.

“Access to clean, reliable water is crucial for the well-being and quality of life of every Californian,” stated 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.”

The project will replace approximately 3,800 linear feet of aging 12-inch waterline along Baseline Road, improving system reliability, enhancing public safety, and ensuring continued delivery of high-quality water service.

“We appreciate Congressman Aguilar’s partnership and support for this important infrastructure project,” said President Randall Reed. “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,” commented Vice President Jim Curatalo. “By proactively replacing aging infrastructure, we’re protecting public safety and ensuring dependable water service for generations to come.”

CVWD applied for the funding through Congressman Aguilar’s office as part of the federal Community Project Funding process. The awarded funds help offset project costs, reducing the financial burden on local ratepayers while allowing the District to move forward with necessary system improvements.

The Baseline Waterline Replacement Project reflects CVWD’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading critical water infrastructure to meet the needs of a growing community. To learn more about CVWD’s ongoing efforts to provide safe, reliable water service to the community, visit CVWDwater.com.
