CVWD’s contractor, T.E. Roberts Inc., has extended the work timeline on Cook Street to continue through mid-September to install a nonpotable water pipeline due to construction delays to minimize traffic disruptions.   

Timeline Update: June 9, 2025, through September 15, 2025

Work hours: Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Traffic Impact Schedule:

Phase I (July 1, 2025 – August 15, 2025)

•  South and northbound lanes will be reduced to one lane on Cook Street from south of Sheryl Avenue to Hovley Lane for approximately 0.75 miles.
• Access to Sheryl Avenue, Merle Drive, and Green Way will be limited as construction approaches each intersection.
• St James Place will be closed for the duration of Phase I. Access is available through Boardwalk.

Phase II (August 15, 2025 – August 31, 2025)

• Lane closures are planned for north and southbound lanes for approximately 0.3 miles starting on Hovley Lane.
• All left turn lanes onto and off Cook Street (NB, SB, EB, and WB) will be closed at the intersection of Hovley Lane and Cook Street.
• Thru traffic for east and westbound lanes will be closed at the intersection of Hovley Lane and Cook Street.

Phase III (August 31, 2025 - September 15, 2025)

• Northbound lanes will be closed on Cook Street. All traffic will be rerouted through Hovley Lane through Portola Avenue.

Please plan and use alternative routes if possible and expect delays around the affected areas. Detours are posted throughout Cook Street.

Posted schedules may change due to inclement weather or field conditions.

This portion of the project will expand CVWD’s delivery capacity to serve nonpotable recycled water to more customers throughout the valley, thereby maximizing the use of recycled water and reducing groundwater pumping for outdoor irrigation. It also addresses long-term water management goals by increasing the supply of recycled water to supplement local water supplies and safeguarding the local groundwater basin for future generations.
