Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) announced they received $8.4 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding from the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. The funding will allow for improvements to the sewer systems in Lakeland Village Community and on the EVMWD’s eastern border along Highway 74.
“We are grateful to the County and Supervisor Kevin Jeffries for being part of the solution when it comes to the region’s sewer needs,” said EVMWD General Manager, Greg Thomas. “The funding will significantly improve the quality of life for these communities, providing sewer service access to those who currently rely on septic.”
The $500,000 Lakeland Village project will extend sewer service to the Lakeland Village Community Center and adjacent properties. This project received $400,000 in ARPA funds. EVMWD also received $8 million in ARPA funds towards the Highway 74 project. This $10 million project will construct 12,500 feet of sewer backbone extending from Rosetta Hills to EVMWD’s easterly service boundary at Ethanac Road.
In October, the Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of $65,000,000 in County ARPA funds to the Infrastructure category to support economic recovery within Riverside County.
