Pierce Street Transmission Main Project

Pierce Street Transmission Main Project

The Pierce Street Transmission Main Project proposes the installation of an 18-inch diameter domestic water pipeline for a length of 2 miles along Pierce Street between Airport Boulevard and Avenue 60 that will connect to the existing Well 6806 well site located in the southwest corner of Avenue 60 and Pierce Street. The pipeline alignment is within Riverside County rights-of-way along Pierce Avenue, Airport Boulevard, and Avenue 60. The purpose of the project is to allow the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) the flexibility to serve the Mecca area and communities south/southeast of Mecca (i.e, North Shore) with water from either the Mecca or Thermal Pressure Zone. In addition, the pipeline may also allow for service to these areas from a potential, future surface water treatment plant.
