YLWD Celebrates Rededication of Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station

Yorba Linda, CA – October 22, 2024 – The Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) proudly hosted a rededication ceremony for the Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station, a vital component of the District’s water infrastructure. The rededication ceremony brought together community partners, including SoCalGas, local officials from the City of Yorba Linda, customers, and dedicated staff to celebrate the completion of a significant $3.5 million upgrade.

Board President Trudi DesRoches welcomed attendees and began the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance, expressing gratitude for the community’s support and participation. She highlighted the importance of the Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station, which has been serving the residents of Yorba Linda and surrounding areas since its construction in 1988.

“The Yorba Linda Water District is committed to delivering high-quality, reliable drinking water to approximately 80,000 residents,” said YLWD Board President, Trudi DesRoches. “This upgrade not only enhances our service capabilities but also underscores our dedication to maintaining and improving our infrastructure for future generations.”

The recent enhancements to the Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station include the installation of a high-capacity pump that doubles the pumping capacity from 1,800 gallons per minute to 3,600 gallons per minute. A new 350-kilowatt natural gas generator has also been added to ensure emergency backup power during outages, significantly improving the station’s reliability in the face of challenges such as wildfires.

Additional modernization efforts included the complete replacement of the flow meter, upgrades to meet current building codes, and substantial site improvements, such as enhanced security measures and landscaping.

This project was made possible through a collaborative effort, with half of the upgrade costs funded by the Cielo Vista developer, demonstrating a shared commitment to enhancing the community’s water infrastructure.

The ceremony culminated in the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and a ribbon-cutting ceremony, facilitated by YLWD Board of Directors and special guests. YLWD’s upgrades to the Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station are a testament to its dedication to ensuring a reliable water supply for our community now and for future generations.
