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 2025-26 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.
Well 152 will be designed, drilled, and equipped at the District’s headquarters property. Once completed, it will provide an additional local water supply source to help meet demand and reduce dependence on imported water.
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 involves the replacement of a critical water main segment along Marshall Boulevard and Mountain Avenue to improve seismic performance and reduce the risk of infrastructure failure during a major earthquake.
This project will replace 400 feet of undersized 3-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water main in Overland Court, a nine home cul-de-sac extending north of Piedmont Drive.
This project involves the replacement of a critical segment of water main infrastructure along Dwight Way and Sterling Avenue to improve seismic resilience and reduce the risk of failure during a major earthquake.
The Sterling Natural Resource Center utilizes a multi-step treatment process to treat and recycle an average of up to 8 million gallons of wastewater per day. A fifth filtration train will be installed in the SNRC's Membrane Bioreactors.
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.
Plant 134, the District’s surface water treatment facility, operates five water filtration trains, each equipped with 180 membrane filters. The District will restart the membrane replacement cycle, beginning with Train 1.
This project will evaluate potential improvements to pre-treat raw water sourced from the Santa Ana River prior to its introduction into the District’s treatment process at Plant 134.
The District has completed a comprehensive, multi-year water tank inspection program and received an engineering report identifying and prioritizing tank rehabilitation projects.
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.
This project involves scheduled capital improvements to District facilities that can be performed within a single fiscal year.
This project involves the construction of a new shallow monitoring well near the Weaver Basin recharge area.
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.
