Thank you for the comment. We continuously monitor treatment performance using parameters such as turbidity, but we do not currently sample for microplastic or nanoplastic particle counts. We continue to follow the science in this area so we can stay ahead of issues that may affect our community.

Separately, the District is advancing membrane integrity research focused on continuous verification of log removal value (LRV) performance for pathogens. Over the past six years we have compiled more than 21,000 profile files (exceeding 1.5 million data points) from automated monitoring of reverse osmosis membranes. We believe this continuous integrity testing approach can also help support the use of membrane technology for removing microplastics and nanoplastics.

One ongoing industry challenge is that while membranes can effectively capture microplastics, the material is typically concentrated in a residual stream that must still be managed.

Getting more drinking water from every gallon.

New membrane upgrades at the Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility recover about 1 million extra gallons a day of drinking water while also removing microplastics.

The Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility just completed a major upgrade that turns more of every gallon of State Water Project water into high-quality drinking water.

The new water filtration facility upgrades are also backed by one of the region’s first energy microgrids (solar + battery + backup generation) so treatment continues during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

More drinking water. Higher quality groundwater. Reliable power supply.

The Yucaipa Valley Water District Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee is in the process of updating the District’s Hazard Mitigation Plan. The HMP is required by the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.

The plan details the risks of both natural and manmade hazards in our service area and includes programs and projects that can help reduce the exposure of District residents and businesses should an event occur. An approved Plan also makes the District eligible for federal pre-disaster and post-disaster assistance.

In order to identify and plan for future disasters, we need your input! We would appreciate your feedback with any comments and/or suggestions. The information you provided will help the District coordinate activities to reduce the risk of injury or property damage in the future.

Your comments are completely confidential. We very much appreciate your participation in this survey, which will be an integral part of our updated plan.

The Yucaipa Valley Water District is deeply committed to maintaining the community’s fire hydrants as a critical component of public safety and emergency preparedness. Through regular inspections, testing, and maintenance, we ensure that each hydrant operates reliably and delivers the necessary water flow for firefighting efforts. This work not only supports the rapid response capabilities of local fire departments but also protects homes, businesses, and essential infrastructure throughout our service area. The dedication of District employees reflects a broader commitment to our community, the protection of life and property, and the responsible management of vital infrastructure.

Construction craft workers play a vital role in shaping and maintaining the foundation of our communities. Their specialized skills in construction, maintenance, and repair ensure that essential infrastructure - from water systems and roadways to public facilities - remains safe, efficient, and resilient. These professionals bring practical expertise, problem-solving ability, and pride of workmanship to every project, often working behind the scenes to translate engineering plans into lasting community assets. Their dedication not only preserves public resources but also enhances the quality of life for residents in the Yucaipa Valley through reliable, well-built infrastructure.

The Yucaipa Valley Water District's construction of the R-16.2 Reservoir and Booster Station marks a key infrastructure upgrade designed to enhance drinking water reliability and wildfire protection in the region.

This project replaced an old, 200,000-gallon bolted steel tank from the early 1980s with a modern 600,000-gallon reservoir, substantially increasing storage capacity to support daily operations and critical emergency fire flows. This new reservoir was also designed and constructed to meet the latest seismic standards.

Now that the new drinking water reservoir is complete and operational, the District is focused on the construction of a new booster station. The booster station will feature an emergency generator for operation of the facility during SCE Public Safety Power Shutoff events and enlarged pipelines to improve water system pressure and overall efficiency.

Upon completion of the integrated reservoir and booster station, firefighters will have additional water supplies with improved flow rates to reduce the threat of wildfires in the area. On a daily basis, the community will benefit from improved operational reliability and dependability of the drinking water system.

The site was carefully planned to support future upgrades, including a new recycled water reservoir and a second drinking water reservoir. These improvements reflect the District’s ongoing commitment to innovation and water reliability. Once the recycled water reservoir is completed, our community will benefit from a sustainable new water source that reduces the use of drinking water for irrigation - helping conserve valuable resources and strengthen local water resources for years to come.

We appreciate your continued support as we work to provide reliable and sustainable water service to the community.
