Employee-Only Orange Show Entrance Project

The California San Bernardino Municipal Water Department is implementing the Employee-Only Orange Show Entrance Project at the Water Reclamation Plant located at 399 Chandler Place in San Bernardino. This project involves the construction of a dedicated employee entrance to serve as an alternative to the existing Chandler Place entrance on West Orange Show Road. Internal facility improvements include the installation of an on-site driveway, site grading for rainwater capture, a double-swing gate with an intercom, chain link fencing, and updated signage. Additionally, the facility will expand its security infrastructure through the addition of lighting, cameras, and a perimeter intrusion detection system, while removing four to ten ornamental trees. External construction will feature a driveway designed with sufficient width for vehicle turnarounds, frontage improvements, ADA ramps, a landscaped island, and the relocation of a fire hydrant and light pole. The primary objectives of the project are to reduce traffic congestion, improve accessibility, and enhance safety and efficiency for both staff and the surrounding community. The project has been filed with a Notice of Exemption under CEQA, as it is anticipated to have no significant environmental impacts. Primary points of contact for the project include General Manager Miguel J. Guerrero and Director of Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Jennifer L. Shepardson.
