(IID notified of a grant)....It is from the US Department of Interior.

The $9.5 million grant is for fiscal year 2023 for IID's Upstream Reservoir Storage Project. The federal funds will be used for the Imperial Irrigation District's new operational storage reservoir, which will be located upstream of IID's water delivery system near the All American and East Highline Canals. Its primary purpose is to maximize IID's water management efficiency within the Imperial Valley. The funds will be used for costs associated with the planning, design and construction of the East Highline Reservoir, which will boost a capacity of 2,100 acre-feet and be constructed for the operational management of up to 365,000 acre-feet of water annually.
