(Parsons) in the amount of $434,370 for project management, engineering design and <br />construction management services for the Jackson Street Phase 1 and 2 Recycled Water Sites Retrofit <br />Project. <br />On May 22, 2017, the Riverside Board of Public Utilities (Board) received an update of the City's Recycled <br />Water Program that started over 25 years ago.
