Document Description
The proposed project would aid in the distribution of effluent to the tertiary effluent ponds at the Moreno Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility (MVRWRF). It would consist of an effluent distribution structure located 22 feet deep between ponds 3 and 6 and at the end of an existing 18-inch pipeline, with laterals connecting to these two ponds. The purpose of the proposed project would be to store and withdraw effluent from the ponds via laterals to ponds 3 and 6 and to assess the condition of the 18-inch pipe. Beneficiaries of the project are EMWD ratepayers, as the project would increase efficiency at the MVRWRF.
