Subject: Status Report on the Construction of an 8-Inch Sewer Mainline in Yucaipa
Boulevard, Yucaipa

On October 4, 2016, the Board of Directors
authorized the General Manager to execute
an Agreement between the City of Yucaipa
and the Yucaipa Valley Water District for
Yucaipa Boulevard Sewer Utility [Director
Memorandum No. 16-094].

On November 14, 2017, the Board of
Directors authorized the District staff to solicit
bids for the construction of Yucaipa Boulevard
Sewer from Hampton Road to 18th Street
[Workshop Memorandum No. 17-163]. The
project includes the construction of
approximately 2,550 linear feet of 8-inch
vitrified clay pipe, including manholes,
laterals, and appurtenances. The sewer main
project is categorically exempt from
environmental review in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301(C).

The District’s contractor (Weka, Inc.) has completed the installation of the sewer mainline and
laterals in Yucaipa Boulevard. Western Heights Water Company has completed the relocation of
their water line to accommodate for the soon to be installed sewer main. Weka has completed
the installation of the mainline from the intersection of Ridgecrest Drive and Yucaipa Boulevard
north toward Sierra Linda Street. The laterals in Ridgecrest Drive are currently being installed
and are pictured below.

Funding for this project will be from Sewer Fund, Infrastructure Reserves [GL Account #03-
10311]. This project was not included in the 2017-18 budget, however, there is sufficient funding
available in the reserve fund listed above.
