Construction crews with CVWD contractor, T.E. Roberts Inc., will continue to work on installing a nonpotable water pipeline at the Portola Avenue and Frank Sinatra Drive intersection on Monday, March 24, 2025.
This phase of construction will last until March 31, 2025.
Starting on April 1, 2025, construction will shift onto Portola Avenue. During construction hours, Portola Avenue will be reduced to one southbound lane between Frank Sinatra Drive and Desert Willow Court.
Construction hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. See map.
Closures will be marked and are expected to remain in place through May 2025. Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area if possible.
The project will expand the non-potable water (NPW) pipeline system to maximize the use of recycled water instead of pumping groundwater for irrigation. This effort safeguards the Coachella Valley groundwater basin for future generations. It also addresses long-term water management goals by increasing the supply of recycled water, implementing source substitution, and improving water efficiency across all customer sectors.
