News release: New water project boosts drought resilience for local growers
United Water Conservation District (UWCD) recently completed the first phase of its Laguna Road Pipeline Project, bringing it one step closer to replacing groundwater as the primary source for agricultural irrigation. This new interconnection links Pleasant Valley County Water District’s (PVCWD) infrastructure with UWCD’s Pumping Trough Pipeline (PTP) System to deliver recycled water and help conserve local water resources. … The $7.9 million project, supported by nearly $5 million in grants, has been in development since 2022 and is being completed in two phases: first, the recent construction of approximately 3,300 linear feet of pipeline north of Laguna Road; and second, the upcoming installation of a new booster pump station to expand the use of recycled water.
