Rancho Water will start construction on the Temecula Parkway Pipeline Replacement project in
mid-October. The project will replace nearly 8,000 feet of recycled
water pipeline running under Temecula Parkway between Bedford Court and
Avenida De Missiones, which translates to just over 1.5 miles of purple
pipeline.

This pipeline has an essential role. It delivers recycled water for
irrigation and landscaping to the community’s beloved parks,
restaurants, shops, large and small businesses along Temecula Parkway,
including Temecula Creek Inn Golf Course, Journey at Pechanga, Temecula
Valley Hospital, California State University Temecula and Redhawk Golf
Course.  The pipeline is important because the more recycled water is
used for things like irrigation and landscaping, the more water is
available to District customers for drinking, cooking, laundry and
showering.

The pipeline has become corroded over the past 10 years and needs to be
replaced. The pipeline is being replaced now to avoid potential for
future pipeline breaks, which are expensive and inconvenient for the
community. The District also wants to start construction now to take
advantage of lighter traffic on the roads due to COVID-19.

The pipeline will be replaced on Temecula Parkway in four phases, moving
from west to east (detailed map attached to this email). During
construction, westbound Temecula Parkway will be reduced down to one
lane. While access to neighborhoods and businesses will be maintained at
all times, traffic delays are expected on Temecula Parkway. Alternate
routes are available on De Portola Road but we understand the temporary
inconveniences that will have on the Los Ranchitos Community.  We are
reaching out to get your input and assistance on informing your
residents about the project and would also like to propose a virtual
community meeting in the near future.
