The Project consists of a 15 -mile pipeline through which <br />YVWD can safely and effectively dispose of wastewater associated with their water treatment <br />facilities. The Project pipeline will run from the Wochholz Regional Water Recycling Facility in <br />Calimesa and connect to an existing wastewater disposal pipeline near Interstate 215 and 1 -10 <br />Interchange. This route requires that the pipeline cross the Gage Canal near San Timoteo Creek in <br />the City of Loma Linda. <br />45 -1 <br />
