Congresswoman Torres Celebrates $1 Million Federal Investment for City of Chino Hills Flood Protection Project
Chino Hills, CA – Today, Congresswoman Norma Torres joined by Chino Hills Mayor Brian Joshz, local leaders and community members at Chino Hills City Hall to celebrate the successful delivery of $1,092,000 in federal funding for the Los Serranos Flood Protection Project, a critical infrastructure investment to protect neighborhoods from flooding and storm damage. As a member of the powerful Appropriations Committee, Torres obtained this funding as part of the community project in the fiscal year 2026 appropriations process.
The funding, secured by Congresswoman Torres through the Community Funding Project process, will support the installation of a new storm drain system designed to mitigate flood risks, safeguard homes, and strengthen long-term community resilience.
The Los Serranos Flood Protection Project will:
-
Install a modern storm drain system
-
Reduce flood risks during heavy rainfall
-
Protect homes, businesses, and public infrastructure
-
Improve long-term safety and resilience for Chino Hills residents
“Today is a big win for the City of Chino Hills and for the families of Los Serranos. I was proud to secure $1,092,000 for this flood protection project because no one should have to worry about their home or safety when storms hit. This investment will protect neighborhoods, support local businesses, and strengthen our community for years to come,” said Congresswoman Torres. “This is exactly why I fight every year to bring federal dollars back home to the Inland Empire. I’ll always keep pushing to make sure our communities are safe, resilient, and getting the resources they deserve.”
“We are grateful to Congresswoman Torres for securing $1,092,000 in federal funding dedicated to the Los Serranos Flood Protection Project and her continued support of our City,” said Chino Hills Mayor Brian Johsz. “This important investment will help protect homes, improve safety, enhance roadways, and ultimately provide peace of mind to our residents who live in the Los Serranos community."
