Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The Water Authority initiated the Capital Improvement Program in 1989 to plan
and implement projects to meet the region's future water needs. Over the years,
the Water Authority has received up to 90 percent of its water from the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California on a yearly basis. The CIP reduces this
overreliance on a single supplier and improves water reliability by diversifying
the region’s water supply portfolio. It also enhances the aqueduct system
that delivers water to member agencies, which serve more than 3 million residents.
Projects included in the CIP:
• Construct new facilities to increase operational flexibility and
capacity to deliver water, particularly during times of peak usage.
• Rehabilitate existing facilities by replacing or relining aging pipelines.
• Increase local water storage by 100,000 acre-feet.
In 2004, confirming its commitment to water supply diversity and reliability,
the Water Authority’s board of directors approved the addition of the
Regional
Water Facilities Master Plan projects to the agency’s Capital Improvement
Program. Included in the additional projects is the development of water treatment,
additional local water storage, and pipeline rehabilitation.
The Water Authority solicits competitive proposals and bids for a variety of construction and material procurement projects. To be included on the Water Authority's bid list or to view additional documents including design manuals or the General Conditions and Standard Specifications, visit the Water Authority's Contracting Opportunities web page.

As other projects undergo planning, design, and environmental review, and
their impacts to surrounding communities become more clearly defined, they will
be added to the Capital Improvement Program web page. Please continue to check
