Integrated
Regional Water Management Plan
The
preparation of this Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP)
for Western Municipal Water District fulfills a need to address long range
water supply planning in order to meet the future demands in a rapidly
growing area, but also to meet the water supply reliability needs now
and in the future. The potential for failures in the imported supply system,
while remote, have potentially devastating impacts that need to be protected
against. The essence of this IRWMP is the identification and evaluation
of water management strategies that could increase local water supply,
thereby improving water supply reliability. Additional benefits of the
IRWMP are to address local and regional water quality issues.

Perris
Valley Pipeline
A new major water line designed to
provide substantial water reliability and quality, the Perris Valley Pipeline
(PVP), is now under construction. A joint $80 million project between
Western, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and Eastern
Municipal Water District, this pipeline will enhance the treated water
delivery capacity in both Eastern and Western’s service areas by
up to 150 million gallons a day. To review the EIR, click

Summary or Draft
EIR.
Nonpotable Conveyance System
This project consists of a series
of pump stations and connecting pipelines that will capture up to 6,000
acre-feet of surplus water from the Riverside groundwater basin, redirecting
it to beneficial uses, ultimately reducing regional dependency on imported
water and improving groundwater quality.
