Title

Verdemont Water Infrastructure Project

Description

The City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (CSBMWD) proposes to improve Verdemont area water infrastructure to meet the demands of existing, improved and entitled development. New development has been approved and is being constructed in the Verdemont Area pressure zones (2100 and 2300) that will require additional water availability. The Department is mandated to provide water to entitled developments. The proposed project will connect existing water supplies to new pump stations and a reservoir (up to 5 million gallons storage) designed to provide the higher pressure zones with sufficient capacity to meet projected need. Under existing conditions, the 2300 Pressure Zone depends upon a hydro pneumatic pumping station that is subject to maintenance problems and expensive to operate. The Verdemont Improvements would provide gravity fed water supply to the 2300 Pressure Zone that is more reliable and less expensive than the existing system and would also increase the reliability of water service by providing redundancy within the existing system such that water service does not rely on a single pipeline, pump or reservoir.
