Document Description
The Western Cabazon I-10 Waterline Crossing (the Project) consists of installing approximately 885 linear feet of 24-inch diameter cement mortar lined and coated potable water pipeline, commencing at Cabazon Water District's existing Well No. 2 site and extending northeasterly to Seminole Drive. The pipeline will be installed partially within an approximately 775 foot long, 36-inch diameter steel casing that will be installed using the bore and jack method. The Project replaces an existing 8-inch diameter pipeline that is located approximately 450 feet northwesterly and parallel to the Project pipeline. The existing pipeline provides a connection between the majority of CWD's service area and the key CWD infrastructure of two water storage reservoirs/two production wells. The existing pipeline is currently failing, requiring replacement in order to continue providing adequate and reliable water service for the benefit of the public. The beneficiaries of the project are the customers, residents, and businesses within Cabazon Water District's service area.
