Project Overview
The Perris Valley Pipeline is a water line that will provide substantial water reliability and quality benefits to a significant portion of western Riverside County. Construction of the projects northern reach began September 2007 and will be completed in early 2009. Construction of the project's southern reach will begin in September 2008 and is scheduled to be completed in late 2009.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Western Municipal Water District and Eastern Municipal Water District are developing the $127 million project jointly. When completed, the pipeline will enhance the treated water delivery capacity in Eastern and Western's service areas by up to 150 million gallons per day.
The Perris Valley Pipeline will consist of 6.5 miles of 96-inch pipeline from Metropolitan's Henry J. Mills Water Treatment Plant, east along Alessandro Boulevard and then south to Oleander Street in the right-of-way paralleling the 215 Freeway. Eastern Municipal Water District is constructing the southern reach, a separate 4-foot diameter, 6-mile long water pipeline that will connect its service area to the Perris Valley Pipeline at Cactus Avenue. Initial water deliveries will be made from the Perris Valley Pipeline at a service connection at Cactus Avenue by the early 2009. Additional deliveries will be made to service connections at Oleander Street by late 2009.
The pipeline will enhance the delivery capabilities of the Mills Water Treatment Plant and is but one of multiple improvements being planned and constructed to meet retail, municipal and industrial demands in the region. Other improvements include the expansion of Metropolitan's Robert A. Skinner Water Treatment Plant, and construction of San Diego Pipeline No. 6, a raw water link that will eventually run from the Skinner plant near Temecula to north San Diego County.
