Rubidoux, was abandoned and relocated in 2005. It is surrounded by the adjacent <br />landowner's property, with Riverside's legal access limited to a twenty -foot -wide easement. The <br />Public Utilities Water Division removed the equipment of the former Mary Evans Booster Station <br />upon its replacement by the new Mary Evans Booster Station and abandoned the site. The site <br />does not serve a future utility or development purpose. RPU will retain an easement related to <br />an existing pipeline traversing the site. <br />
