Rep. Aguilar Delivers Over $1 Million for San Bernardino County to Bolster Bloomington Sewage and Water Treatment Infrastructure
Transitioning from aging septic tanks to sewers will raise the quality of life for Bloomington residents and attract new people and businesses to the area
WASHINGTON, D.C. – RealEstateRama – Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) announced that he secured $1,092,000 in community project funding for San Bernardino County’s Bloomington Septic Conversion Project. This grant funding will expand and improve Bloomington’s sewage and water infrastructure by allowing San Bernardino County to install 1,200 linear feet of mainline sewer along the Valley Boulevard corridor, extending it to Alder Avenue. Once complete, the infrastructure project will improve wastewater treatment, promote better public health outcomes and drive development and economic opportunities in the unincorporated community of Bloomington.

“We all know how essential it is to have strong, reliable infrastructure; it’s what cities, counties and countries are built on,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “That’s why I’m so proud to deliver over $1 million for San Bernardino County’s Bloomington Septic Conversion Project. This grant is more than just an investment in Bloomington’s sewage and water treatment infrastructure; it’s an investment in the community’s long-term housing development, public health and economic growth. Federal investments in projects for unincorporated communities like Bloomington are essential to ensuring that no Inland Empire resident gets left behind. I’ll continue to fight for more resources that help make life better for our entire region.”
“We want to thank Congressman Pete Aguilar for his continued commitment to the residents of Bloomington,” said Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. “With a population of 17,000, Bloomington is one of our largest unincorporated communities in the county, and investments like the Bloomington Septic Conversion Project are critical to improving public health, protecting local groundwater resources, and supporting the long-term well-being of families who call this community home.”
In January 2026, Rep. Aguilar helped pass the Commerce, Justice, Science, Energy and Water Development, and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act of 2026, which included $7.4 million in federal community project funding grants for seven projects in California’s 33rd Congressional District.
