Black Mountain Road Pipelines Project
Project Description
This project consists of two pipelines, a drinking water
line and a reclaimed water pipeline.
Drinking Water Line
As part of an overall upgrade and improvement program to the City's water
system the City of San Diego Water Department is planning to install a new
transmission water pipeline in the Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa and Rancho Penasquitos
areas. Presently, water is supplied to the northern part of the City via
the existing Rancho Bernardo Pipeline No. 1, a 36-inch pipeline originally
installed in 1964.
The new pipeline will extend from the Miramar Water Treatment Plant to
the Rancho Bernardo Water pump Station, located in Rancho Penasquitos.
The alignment is planned to travel within portions of the Scripps Ranch
Boulevard, Mira Mesa Boulevard, Westview Parkway, Westmore Road, Black
Mountain Road and Twin Trails Drive.
The entire pipeline is about five miles in length and between 42 and
48 inches in diameter.
Construction Start: Summer 2001
Construction Complete: 2003
Project Benefits
- Provide enhanced system reliability through pipeline redundancy
- Improved pressure
- Increased capacity to accommodate current needs and future planned
growth
Project Need
This project is designed to move additional locally treated water from the
Miramar Water Treatment Plant to the Rancho Bernardo Pump Station to supply
the northern region of the City.
Estimated Project Cost: The total project cost is estimated to be $17
million and is funded by water rates, revenue bonds and capacity charges.

Reclaimed Water Pipeline
Project Description
As part of the City of San Diego Water Department's Capital Improvements
Program, a reclaimed water pipeline will be installed along Black Mountain
Road between Carroll Canyon Road and Mira Mesa Boulevard. The pipeline will
then be installed in parallel alignment to the Rancho Bernardo Pipeline
No. 2 from Mira Mesa Boulevard and Black Mountain Road to Twin Trails Road.
The entire pipeline is about 3.5 miles in length and 24 to 36 inches
in diameter.
This project will run concurrently with the installation of Rancho Bernardo
Pipeline No. 2.
Construction Start: Summer 2001
Construction Complete: 2003
Project Benefits
The Mountain Ranch Reclaimed Water Pipeline will help fulfill San Diego's
rapidly growing water needs by offering a cost efficient and continuous
supply of local water for non-potable uses.
Estimated Project Cost: The total project cost is estimated to
be $8 million and is funded by water rates, revenue bonds and capacity
charges.
