Critical Infrastructure Fuels Reduction Project

The Critical Infrastructure Fuels Reduction Project, managed by the Arrowbear Park County Water District, focuses on reducing wildfire risks to protect essential public utility infrastructure within the district's service area in San Bernardino County, California. The scope of work involves clearing brush, shrubs, and both dead and live trees that endanger infrastructure, as well as trimming other vegetation at nine specific job sites. The primary objective is to ensure the continued operation and reliability of critical water and sewer services by mitigating fire hazards. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is categorized as exempt from environmental impact fees under CEQA Guidelines section 15301(b), as it constitutes the maintenance of existing public utility infrastructure. Administrative oversight is led by General Manager Chris Dumas. The project was officially filed and posted on July 20, 2026, with performance taking place across nine identified sites in Arrowbear Lake and unincorporated San Bernardino County.
