District Projects
Yorba Linda Water District (District) is independent of all city and county governments. No revenue obtained by the District is used to subsidize non-water related activities or the activities of any other agency.
The District is dedicated to providing the best and most economical water and sewer services to our customer. This means taking on District-wide projects to help improve or maintain infrastructure as well as to preserve water rights.
The District is in the active construction phase for three projects, design stage for two projects and construction is complete for one project as noted below:
- Highland Booster Station Upgrade
Is currently under construction. The replacement of the pump station will allow the District to distribute lower cost groundwater to the various upper zones within the District’s service areas. - Well 20
Well 20 is a groundwater production well that was drilled during May 2010, and above ground improvements are currently under construction. - Ohio Street & Oriente Drive Pipeline Replacement
The entire reach of pipeline under Ohio Street, north of Yorba Linda Boulevard and south of Bastanchury Road, along with Oreinte Drive, west of Lakeview Avenue to Ohio Street is currently under construction.
Highland Booster Station Upgrade
The Highland Booster Pump Station upgrade is currently under construction. The replacement of the pump station will allow the District to distribute lower cost groundwater to the various upper zones within the District’s service areas. The new booster station design will have a maximum pumping capacity of 18,000 GPM with two large natural gas driven pumps, and three electric pumps providing increased capacity.
The contractor completed construction of the roof panels, is continuing interior electrical and mechanical work, and is completing discharge piping.
Well 20
Well 20 is a groundwater production well that was drilled and developed during 2010. This replaces an existing, unproductive, 76-year old well and was drilled on the same property, saving the District a tremendous amount of money. The final stage of construction including above ground manifold piping and appurtenances is currently under construction. Well 20 is expected to be complete by mid 2012.
Completion of this well will provide the District with an additional source of groundwater, thereby reducing our dependency on imported water.
Ohio Street & Oriente Drive Pipeline Replacement
Pipeline in Ohio Street, north of Yorba Linda Boulevard and south of Bastanchury Road, and in Oriente Drive, from Lakeview Avenue east to Ohio Street, is currently under construction and expected to be complete by December 2011.
After the pipline work is complete, the City of Yorba Linda will complete a cape seal street resurfacing program.
