Indian Street Sewer Crossing Project

The Indian Street Sewer Crossing Project, administered by the Eastern Municipal Water District, involves the construction of a 15-inch sewer pipeline in Moreno Valley, California. The project scope includes crossing the pipeline beneath State Route 60, extending from APN 481-090-037 in the north to APN 481-101-016 in the south. The alignment will connect to an existing 8-inch sewer pipeline east of Postal Avenue, route through a commercial parking lot at APN 481-101-041, and enter the Indian Street right-of-way to connect with infrastructure in Sunnymead Boulevard. Additional technical requirements include the reconstruction of existing manholes at the Indian Street and Sunnymead Boulevard intersection and the installation of new manholes at all junction points. The project also requires the abandonment and grout-filling of an existing 10-inch sewer pipeline north of Sunnymead Boulevard, with the removal of any conflicting abandoned sections. The project was approved on September 3, 2025, following a CEQA environmental review that resulted in a Negative Declaration with adopted mitigation measures and a monitoring plan. The primary point of contact for the project is Joseph Broadhead, Principal Water Resources Specialist.
