The scope of work includes rehabilitating, replacing, and upgrading critical components of the water and wastewater systems within the Furnace Creek and Cow Creek areas of Death Valley National Park. Both areas comprise the park’s primary developed areas and serve the park’s 1.7 million annual visitors, 1,100 residents, and the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe.

Wastewater treatment system improvements include replacing sewer gravity and force mains, service laterals, and pump stations. Water system improvements include an extensive new distribution system inclusive of water mains, laterals, pumps and appurtenances, developing new potable water wells, and reconstructing the reverse osmosis treatment building, chlorination building and control systems. The project also includes repairs and upgrades to improve the capacity of a lagoon.

Work is expected to begin in the fall of 2026, with substantial completion anticipated in early 2029. When completed, the project will eliminate significant deferred maintenance, improve the reliability and resilience of essential utility infrastructure, increase system capacity, enhance public health and environmental protection, and provide dependable water and wastewater service for park visitors, residents, employees, and partners.

The contract value will be added to the Company’s backlog in the third quarter of 2026.
