This Project will construct the proposed Calimesa Creek Stage III improvements that are a continuation of the Calimesa Channel "Stage I" and "Stage II" projects that were completed by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD) in 2002. Stage III improvements will consist of a 4.5-acre detention basin on the north side of Calimesa Creek approximately 150 feet west of 3rd Street, 18", 24", 54", 72" and 78" underground storm drains, box culverts, roadway crossings and minor grading of the bank slopes of Calimesa Creek to protect the adjacent properties from a 100-year storm event. Once completed, the Calimesa Creek Stage III Project would provide 100-year flood protection to existing and future development along County Line Road and Calimesa Creek from 5th Street on the east to Interstate 10 on the west. Project is currently in the process of finalizing the environmental document and permitting. Once environmental document has been approved, design can be finalized. Construction is anticipated to begin in October 2023, pending availability of funds. Funds programmed in FY2024-25 may be appropriated during FY 2023-24 if outside funding is secured.
This project is included in the City of Calimesa's FY 2023-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of November 27, 2023, information regarding a design team and a general contractor is not available. Construction is anticipated in 2024/2025.*
