San Diego is set to receive $4.36 million in federal funding for four stormwater projects. Representatives Scott Peters and Juan Vargas pushed for the funds, which are intended to improve drainage and reduce flood risks.
The $4.36 million was included in a fiscal year 2026 spending package passed by Congress. The four projects will receive about $1.1 million each and include drainage improvements at Beta Street, upgrades to the Jamacha drainage channel, erosion repairs near Famosa Slough and improvements to Pump Station D. City officials said the work is intended to improve drainage and reduce flooding risks.
Mayor Todd Gloria thanked Peters and Vargas for their work securing the funding. Vargas said the money would support stormwater improvements, while Peters cited the 2024 South Bay floods and said the projects would help prepare the city for future weather events. The projects were submitted by city staff through the Congressional Community Project Funding process; the article says San Diego has received more than $45 million through the program since fiscal year 2022.
