The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning schedule with each year approved in the correlating fiscal year. Long-term capital planning is a dynamic process and is part of the district’s overall strategic plan. Capital planning involves identifying current and future needs and prioritizing them through an assessment process.
The 2024-25 Fiscal Year Adopted Budget includes a detailed list of identified future projects included in East Valley Water District’s five-year capital improvement plan.

Projects below are active CIP projects reviewed annually by the district’s staff to allow the program to be more responsive to changing needs, regulations, funding availability, and demand projections.
The District’s water distribution pipeline system has approximately 8,000 gate valves which even with routine exercising, some valves eventually seize and need to be replaced.
District staff has been troubleshooting and monitoring performance of the AMI system, and in doing so has determined that data capture and communication could be enhanced by the installation of an additional tower and data collector.
The Hydro-pneumatic tank and booster pumps at Plant 101 increase water pressure to 37 homes that are situated at elevations too high to be gravity fed by the plant’s 1.4-million-gallon reservoir.
Much of the North Fork Pipeline was improved from the 1990s through 2010, however, there are portions in which improvements have not occurred in 50-80 years. The purpose of this project is to fund necessary planning and design for locations along the North Fork Pipeline.
There are 18 existing storage reservoirs in EVWD’s water system ranging from 0.07 million gallons (MG) to 4 MG in capacity. Per the District’s 2019 Water System Mater Plan, it was recommended that seismic retrofitting be performed on all EVWD tanks.
The Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) includes a list of mitigation actions needed to protect against potential risks and impacts from drought and to increase flexibility and resiliency. This project will design, drill, and equip a new groundwater production well at Plant 129.
This project will replace 1,127 feet of 4” wrapped steel water main in Elmwood Road, starting north from Lynwood Drive and then turning east to connect to the main in Dogwood Street.
This project involves building a new metal warehouse building at Plant 39 for the purpose of securely storing water distribution parts on the west end of the service area.
The District has completed a comprehensive, multi-year water tank inspection program and received an engineering report identifying and prioritizing tank rehabilitation projects.
The District’s service area covers all of the City of Highland, parts of the City of San Bernardino and parts of San Bernardino County. Occasionally alignment or location conflicts with existing District facilities and the District is obligated to relocate its facilities.
This project involves scheduled capital improvements to District facilities that can be performed within a single fiscal year.
The 8-million-gallon emergency storage basin next to Weaver Basins was designed to use a trailer-mounted pump to return water from the basin to the sewer main in Greenspot Road. This project involves the potential construction of permanent pumping facilities to provide this function.
