Capital Improvement Program
The District's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning schedule with each year approved in the correlating fiscal year. Long-term capital planning is a dynamic process and is part of the district's overall strategic plan. Capital planning involves identifying current and future needs and prioritizing them through an assessment process.
Projects listed in the CIP are reviewed annually by the district's staff to allow the program to be more responsive to changing needs, regulations, funding availability, and demand projections.
2018-19 Capital Improvement Program
| Project | Type | Description | Current Phase | Projected Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water Main Line Replacement | Water | Replacement of water main lines on Del Norte Circle, Del Norte Place, Lomita Place, and Val Mar Circle from a 3-inch diameter to a 6-inch pipeline. By replacing the undersized water pipelines, the need for maintenance and leak repairs is significantly reduced. Additional project enhancements include the installation of fire hydrants.

| Plant 134 Hydroelectric Generation Facility (PDF) | Hydroelectric Generator | Install a hydroelectric generation facility to offset energy cost of operating the treatment plant. (Construction complete, official opening pending). | Complete | July 2018 |
| Orange Street Sewer Main Replacement | Replacement Wastewater Collection Main | This project will replace, re-line or pipe-burst approximately 200 linear feet of wastewater main with offset joints and broken pipe defects. The main traverses private property in an easement between two private properties. This is the only sewer service available to about 20 homes. | Complete | February 2019 |
| Sterling Natural Resource Center | New Wastewater Treatment | In response to the drought and SBX7-7 which mandates that the District must cut 20% of its use by the year 2020, the District is planning and constructing a water recycling facility. The facility will allow the District to treat wastewater to a point that it can be recharged back into the groundwater basin and reused for domestic purpose. Initially, the facility will treat approximately 8 million gallons per day and will be expandable to be able to treat ultimate build out of approximately 10 million gallons per day. | Procurement Construction Design | March 2022 |
| Plant 134 Transmission Main to Upper Zone | Water | This project will create a new freeway crossing point at high elevation, greatly enhancing system efficiency and flexibility. The project involves installation of a 16-inch transmission main crossing the 330 Freeway and Highland Avenue. | Design | March 2020 |
| Phase 2 AMI Meter Upgrade Program | Water Meter | Water meters will be upgraded to an Advanced Meter communications device to allow for a more efficient process to collect meter read data. Public Notice Flyer (English) | Complete | February 2019 |
| Phase 3 AMI Meter Upgrade Program (PDF) | Water Meter | Water meters will be upgraded to an Advanced Meter communications device to allow for a more efficient process to collect meter read data.

| Wastewater Pipeline Replacement on Modesto Drive and 35th Street | Wastewater | A 6-inch diameter main provides more potential for main blockage to occur. Current standards require minimum 8-inch diameter for mains. This section of pipeline has 19 direct lateral connections and serves an additional 45 single family residential units upstream. Requires reconstruction of approximately 1,000 linear feet of pipeline and reconnections of 19 laterals.
