Document Description
Eastern Municipal Water District (District) proposes the Cawston Lift Station Replacement Project (Project) to decommission and remove the existing Cawston Lift Station (LS) (located on the east side of Cawston Avenue approximately 515 feet north of the proposed Cawston LS location) and construct a replacement LS on the northwest corner of the intersection of Cawston Avenue and Stetson Avenue. Pipeline improvements within Cawston Avenue right-of-way include the extension of a 20-inch force main connection from the location of the existing LS site to the proposed LS site and the extensions of a 21-Inch gravity sewer main to convey flows from the existing sewer manhole from the existing LS site to the proposed LS site. The Project site includes the existing LS site, proposed Cawston LS replacement site, and roadway right-of-way. The existing LS is located east of the intersection of North Cawston Avenue and Walden Weaver Road. The proposed LS would be located on an approximately 1.2-acre (approximately 51,570 square feet) parcel of vacant land with Assessor’s Parcel Number 456-020-012, on the west side of Cawston Avenue and north of Stetson Avenue. Surrounding City of Hemet General Plan land uses designations adjacent to the Project site include, industrial (I) to the west, Mixed-Use (MU) to the north and east, and Community Commercial (CC) to the south.
