Current and Upcoming Projects:
Encinitas Pressure Reducing Stations Replacement Project
Pressure reducing stations control the pressure at which water is delivered to customers. These stations are vital to provide the delivery of water at an appropriate pressure.
Two underground pressure reducing stations located off Mountain Vista Drive in Encinitas have reached the end of their useful life and are in need of replacement.
Construction will begin in spring 2025 on the Gardendale Road pressure reducing station. Once complete, work will move to Wandering Road. Work is anticipated to take place between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Gardendale Road will be closed between Village Run and Mountain Vista Drive for the duration of work on the Gardendale Road pressure reducing station. Similarly, Wandering Road will be closed between Linda Sue Lane and Mountain Vista Drive for the duration of work on the Wandering Road pressure reducing station. The road closures at each location will be in place for approximately two months.
OMWD does not anticipate any changes in the water pressure as a result of this project and will provide advance notification of any water service interruptions, if any are necessary.
OMWD is committed to providing reliable service to its customers, and projects such as this ensure the continuity of our service. If you have questions or comments about the project, please send them to projects@olivenhain.com, or call 760-632-4642.
Since pipes have a limited lifespan, OMWD invests in proactively repairing and replacing pipes throughout its service area, ensuring reliable water service to its customers. Many water agencies in California are tackling similar issues associated with aging infrastructure. View the video below to see how others in the water industry are also prioritizing pipe replacement.
