The project involves drilling groundwater production wells at two schools and a test well at a third to support water supply and treatment. The matched government project record identifies Alta Elementary, Riverview Elementary, and Kings Canyon High as the sites and Kings Canyon Unified School District as the lead agency. The scope is construction and installation of potable-water infrastructure, including pumping and pressure improvements and well-related work, rather than a grant-program application.
