Construction Nears Completion

About This Project
This project replaced approximately 900 feet of two sections of existing pipelines with one pipeline at a lower elevation in the Nob Hill area of Scripps Ranch. The new pipeline was constructed by tunneling and improves the Water Authority’s ability to operate and maintain its pipelines and structures, eliminating the likelihood of a future uncontrolled release of water in this area.
Additionally, the Water Authority constructed a new access road to Nob Hill from Scripps Lake Drive along the Water Authority’s right-of-way, west of Miramar Dam. As a result of this new access road, Water Authority vehicles will no longer need to use Scripps Nob Hill roads to access the Water Authority's facilities, a long-term benefit for the community.
Major Elements of the Project:
- Replace two existing pipelines with one pipeline at a lower elevation
- New road for Water Authority staff and construction traffic to access regional water facilities on Nob Hill from Scripps Lake Drive
