Site work for a water / sewer project in Duarte, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

To meet California state mandated stormwater requirements, the City of Arcadia became a member of the Rio Hondo/San Gabriel River Watershed Management Joint Powers Authority ("JPA"), consisting of the Cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Duarte, Monrovia, and Sierra Madre. As part of the JPA, the City of Arcadia is responsible for paying its fair share for annual membership fees, monitoring costs, and program expenses. The JPA is currently working on completing the Encanto Park Project, which will advance the vision of the JPA by creating a stormwater capture and cleaning system to recharge the local groundwater. This Regional Stormwater Capture Project is within Encanto Park in the City of Duarte. Stormwater and urban runoff will be diverted from an existing City of Duarte storm drain and will be treated, stored, and infiltrated beneath the grass field. The system will also provide capture, filter, and release back to the storm drain to treat the 85th percentile water quality volume at this location. The project is funded by the Safe, Clean Water Program ($2.5M) as well as an additional $5M in funding is being pursued by the JPA.
