East Coachella Valley Water Supply Plan Update and Consolidation Planning Project

Description

The purpose of the East Coachella Valley Supply Plan Update and Consolidation Planning Project (Project) is to update the East Coachella Valley Water Supply Plan and advance water consolidation projects in the East Coachella Valley (EVC) by completing the planning, environmental, and design work and pursuing funding to allow for the future consolidation of approximately 33 small water systems (SWS) into Coachella Valley Water Districts (CVWD) potable water system to improve water reliability and potential safety of water supply. The Project consists of submitting a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund planning grant application for its EVC Water Consolidation Planning Project to further progress the critical water consolidation efforts for SMS in disadvantaged communities within the Eastern Coachella Valley. In the ECV region of CVWD's service area, there are several rural communities that are not connected to CVWD's potable water system. Local groundwater supplies of several of the privately-owned SWS are not connected to CVWD's potable water system in the EVC region and have shown elevated concentrations of arsenic and other constituents that are currently regulated or may be regulated in the near future.
