Carmel Valley Recycled Water Pipeline
Project Background
The Carmel Valley Recycled Water Pipeline is a component of the City of San Diego Recycled Water Master Plan Update 2005, Phase II system expansion. The network of pipelines will increase the supply of recycled water to the northern section of the City.
Project Overview
The pipeline project is approximately 12,000 feet of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch PVC pipeline and will begin at the Carmel Valley Road/Camino Santa Fe Road interchange along State Route 56. The pipeline will extend southwest following the Palacio Del Mar bike path adjacent to Ruette de Mer, then extend south along Carmel Valley Road past Grand Del Mar Way. Because of the pipeline installation, the State Route 56 bike path will be closed from September 2010 to March 2011 from Carmel Country Road to Carmel Valley Road. Bicyclists will be detoured to bike lanes on public streets.
Benefits
- Provide approximately 300 acre-feet per year of recycled water to the Palacio Del Mar Community, Meadows Del Mar Golf Course, and to future customers in the 500 zone in the western portion of Carmel Valley
- Provide vital extension of the City's reclaimed distribution network
- Reduce dependence on imported water
Cost
The project cost is approximately $3.8 million and is funded by water rates, revenue bonds, a grant from the Bureau of Reclamation in the amount of 25% of the project costs, and future sales of the recycled water along the pipeline route.
Schedule
Construction Start: September 2010
Construction Finish: June 2012
