Title

Highway 86 Water Transmission Main Phase 3 and 4 Project

Description

CVWD proposes improvements to the domestic water distribution system serving the communities in the vicinity of Oasis and Salton City, in Riverside County and Imperial County. The proposed Project entails the replacement of approximately 14.5 miles of existing 16-inch and 18-inch diameter asbestos cement pipe (ACP) and ductile iron pipe (DIP) domestic water transmission mains with approximately 15.4 miles of 24-inch diameter DIP water transmission main to serve the communities of Salton Sea Beach, Desert Shores, Salton City, and unincorporated areas in Riverside and Imperial Counties on the west side of the Salton Sea, hereinafter referred to as the Pipeline. Approximately 13 miles of the Pipeline, would be located within Caltrans Right of Way (ROW); approximately two (2) miles of the Pipeline would be located within existing street ROW or newly obtained utility easements across private property outside of Caltrans ROW. The proposed Pipeline would connect to the existing water distribution system via connection to an existing 30-inch diameter DIP west of Highway 86 at the intersection of Lincoln Street/84th Avenue in Riverside County. The Pipeline Alignment would follow 84th Avenue east for approximately one mile before turning southward where it would run roughly parallel to southbound Highway 86 in Caltrans ROW. Near Postmile 61, approximately one mile south of the Red Earth Casino, the Pipeline Alignment turns east for approximately 0.75, then continues south along Lesser Drive. The Pipeline would then intersect and run parallel to southbound Highway 86 for approximately 3 miles to Golden Avenue where the Pipeline would turn west and terminate at CVWD's existing Reservoir No. 1092 at the end of Diamond Avenue in Salton City in Imperial County. The proposed Pipeline would connect to existing water mains in Service Road and Golden Avenue.
