Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California proposes to excavate two locations directly over Metropolitan's San Diego Pipeline Nos. 4 and 5, which extend along Margarita Street in the city of Temecula. The excavations are being performed to determine whether sagging asphalt and wet conditions in this area of Margarita Road are a result of leaking pipelines. A vacuum excavator will be used to remove materials to a depth of 10-15 feet at one location in the road and one location in the turf area 40 to 50 feet east of the road. Work will be performed using a jackhammer, generator, vacuum excavator, and several pick-up trucks. In addition, Metropolitan has purchased several properties east of Lake Skinner within unincorporated areas of Riverside County. Metropolitan proposes to install gates, gate posts, and fencing on these properties along East Benton Road to eliminate access by unauthorized vehicles and to prevent unauthorized dumping of trash on the properties. Guard rails and boulders would be used to limit access to the properties. Work will be performed using a backhoe, powered auger, and trucks.
