Coachella Valley Water District’s contractor (T.E. Roberts) is continuing work on Cook Street to install a nonpotable water pipeline. Changes have been made to traffic control as the work approaches Green Way.

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

Work hours: Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Traffic Impact Schedule:

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

• Access to St James Place has been closed due to the Contractor preparing to cross the intersection and is currently estimated to be reopened when construction is complete on September 15, 2025.
• South and northbound traffic has been reduced to one lane on Cook Street from north of Sheryl Avenue to Hovley Lane for approximately half a mile.
• Access to Sheryl Avenue and Merle Drive is available from both southbound and northbound lanes.
• Access to Boardwalk will require a detour through Beacon Hill from Hovley Lane or through Greenway to Mayfair Drive.
• Eastbound lanes on Green Way will be closed during construction hours between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and will be open during non-work hours from August 21 through August 29.

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

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