Project summary

Western Municipal Water District (Western) has completed replacing 2,031 feet of water pipeline in the Lake Hills HOA area. Currently. This area had some of the oldest pipelines in Western’s system that resulted in water leaks and service interruptions. The new pipeline installed will improve water distribution, reduce emergency water outages, and increase the amount of water available for fire suppression throughout the Lake Hills area.

Construction consisted of two phases and took place in the cul-de-sacs of Mountain Court, Morning Sun Court, Meadow Mist Court and on a section of Lakepointe Drive between Blue Haven and Sun Summit Drive. (see maps below).

Cannon Pump Station Project 

Project summary

Western Municipal Water District (Western) is designing a new pump station and interconnection with Riverside Public Utilities (RPU). Known as the Cannon Pump Station, it will be built near Alessandro Boulevard and Overlook Parkway. Once complete, Cannon Pump Station will take water from RPU's mainline through an interconnection near Alessandro Boulevard and Overlook Drive and pump it to Western's distribution system. By adding this station to your local water system, Western customers will continue to have safe, reliable, high-quality water.

Project benefits

Western provides nearly 28 billion gallons of water each year to our customers in Riverside County—a dry, arid area where droughts are a regional reality. What you may not realize is that more than 60 percent of water is imported, traveling more than 700 miles from Northern California. 

We’re dedicated to finding local water sources and building innovative projects to continue providing safe, reliable water for our customers while keeping your rates as low as possible. 

The Cannon Pump Station project is a partnership between Western and Riverside Public Utilities (RPU). Western is purchasing excess groundwater from RPU and pumping it into their water distribution system at a reduced cost. RPU customers benefit by the sale of that excess water as it helps to stabilize their rates and contributes to water resiliency and reliability for both agencies.

Project Summary

Western Municipal Water District is performing valve testing in the Woodcrest area. This project is to complete routine maintenance within our distribution system. The project will include valve maintenance and test shutdowns to identify any valves that may need upgrades or replacement in the area. The project is in line with our asset replacement strategic improvement goal. When all assets are repaired or replaced, it will help limit customer downtime during an emergency water shutdown.
