en.Wedoany.com Reported - Congressman Jim Costa (representing California’s 21st Congressional District) announced on May 22, 2026, that over $131 million in federal funding will be allocated for major water infrastructure improvements in California’s San Joaquin Valley, involving upgrades to the Friant-Kern Canal and the O'Neill Pumping Plant, both critical components of California’s water delivery system.

Costa stated that this funding injection brings the total federal investment secured for water storage, aging water infrastructure, clean drinking water, and groundwater recharge projects benefiting California’s 21st Congressional District to over $1.4 billion.

Costa noted that reliable water infrastructure is essential for the future of the San Joaquin Valley, its local agricultural economy, and the communities that depend on it. The Central Valley relies on a dependable water supply to support farms, local economies, and community development, and these investments will help strengthen the water delivery system that families, farmers, and communities across the valley depend on every day.
