STATION AND CLEAN WATER WELL CONSTRUCTION
FULLERTON, CA (November 7, 2024) – The City of Fullerton is set to receive nearly $3.5 million in federal funding to support critical infrastructure projects, including the rehabilitation of the Fullerton Police Station and the construction of Well 7A to ensure long-term access to clean drinking water.
Congressman Lou Correa and Congresswoman Michelle Steel collaborated to request $2.5 million in federal funds for the remediation of hazardous materials and the restoration of the Fullerton Police Station. This historic structure faces significant environmental health challenges, including elevated levels of asbestos and lead paint throughout the building. The allocated funds will address these issues, ensuring a safe and sustainable facility for Fullerton’s police force and the community it serves.
Additionally, Congressman Lou Correa allocated $959,752 to the construction of Well 7A. In the face of ongoing drought concerns, this funding is essential to ensure Fullerton’s access to safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water. The funds will equip Well 7A with high-capacity pumps, motors, discharge piping, disinfection facilities, and electrical equipment, enabling the well to begin producing clean drinking water for the community.
Mayor Nicholas Dunlap commented on the allocation, stating, “We are grateful to Congressman Correa and Congresswoman Streel for helping to bring our tax dollars home in order to invest in important Fullerton community resources. Public safety and infrastructure are top priorities, and this funding will help as we continue to improve both areas.”
This funding is expected to drive positive impacts for Fullerton residents, ensuring that local infrastructure is equipped to meet both present and future demands.
