WRP 10 Existing Low Pressure Connection Improvements

The Coachella Valley Water District will implement improvements to the Water Reclamation Plant No. 10’s existing low-pressure connections by installing ten flow control and pressure-sustaining valves on current non-potable water pipelines. These valves are necessary to regulate flow and pressure within the non-potable water system, ensuring consistent supply to all customers while safeguarding infrastructure against damaging surge events. Currently lacking such control measures, the system will gain operational stability and reliability through this upgrade. All work will be conducted within public rights-of-way or on district property and will not interfere with any designated conservation areas under the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan and Natural Community Conservation Plan, though the project lies within its planning boundary. The project is scheduled to last twelve months and is forecasted to be initiated in 2026, with no set-aside provisions or NAICS code assigned. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Jignesh Ladhawala, Engineer II, and Carlos Huerta, Environmental Resources Analyst, both reachable through the Coachella Valley Water District. All construction will be carried out in Palm Desert, California, and project details can be found through the provided link to the CEQA Net database. The initiative is focused solely on enhancing system functionality without triggering additional environmental review requirements under the regional conservation plans.
