Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding is beginning to make its way onto more jobsites, including a water project in New Mexico.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation selected Jacobs to design and build the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant in northwest New Mexico, according to a news release. At $267 million, the project aims to provide clean water to over 250,000 people across 43 Navajo chapters.

Jacobs will design and build the plant to initially treat up to 18.8 million gallons of water per day, with future expansion to double that capacity. The project includes commissioning of the San Juan Lateral distribution system and will involve ongoing operations and maintenance.

The plant addresses a long-standing water accessibility challenge in the region, said Greg Fischer, Jacobs’ vice president of design-build, operations management and facilities services. Currently, the Navajo Nation estimates over a third of households rely on hauling water to meet their daily needs, according to the release.
