New 6 Million-Gallon Eastside Reservoir, Satellite Pump Station, and Pipelines Project

New 6 Million-Gallon Eastside Reservoir, Satellite Pump Station, and Pipelines Project

The City of Calexico is implementing a three phased Water Treatment Improvement and Expansion Project. The completion of this phased project was designed to address deficiencies in the treatment plant that could compromise the utility's ability to provide potable water according to the City's planned growth. The City has received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding to upgrade and expand the City's water treatment plant and distribution system. Prior to the Water Treatment Improvement and Expansion Project, the water treatment plant had a total capacity of 10 million gallons per day (MGD) with 8 MG of treated water storage, and a 25 MG raw water reservoir. The proposed project is Phase III, the construction and operation of a new 6 MGD reservoir, satellite pump station, and associated pipelines. The new reservoir would hold the additional 6 MGD water filtration capacity from the expansion of the City's existing water filtration plant (Phase 1). Phase I was the construction of additional water filtration capacity to 6 MGD and additional distribution pumps at the existing water treatment plant. Phase II was the construction of 12-inch and 24-inch potable distribution mains beginning from Highway 111, east along the southside of the All-American Canal and Bowker Road. The new reservoir would connect to the 12-inch and 24-inch potable water distribution mains constructed as Phase II. A proposed 24-inch water line would connect to the existing 24-inch water line at the intersection of Bowker Road and Cole Road. Another 24-inch water line would connect to the existing 12-inch water line at State Highway 98 and La Vigne Road.
