Document Description
The proposed project consists of the installation of approximately one mile of an 18-inch water pipeline, two 16-inch interconnections to Rancho California Water District’s (RCWD) existing 36-inch domestic water pipelines on each end of the proposed pipeline, and two interconnection vaults along with associated aboveground appurtenances, such as a water quality station, metering pedestal, blow offs, and air vacuum release valves. The project would extend service to certain developed land uses within Western’s service area, specifically within Murrieta’s Innovation Zone. The Innovation Zone comprises a mix of developed and undeveloped parcels, some of which currently lack municipal water service and are solely relying on private well production. The Innovation Zone is intended to accommodate a wide variety of non-residential uses and have a campus-like, mixed-use business setting, and development of this area was anticipated in the City of Murrieta's most recent General Plan Update. Although the pipeline would be installed by Western within Western’s service area, the pipeline would be connected to RCWD’s distribution system, and water conveyed throughout the pipeline would be supplied by RCWD, which has adequate pressure and available water supplies to serve this area. Project construction is anticipated to begin as early as January 2025 and occur over the course of 10 months.
