City Council - March 3, 2026
The council moved forward on replacing about 40,800 feet of undersized storm drain on the city's west side, roughly doubling capacity to handle a ten-year storm. Flooding along Hacienda has breached the old channel in recent rains. Riverside County Flood Control pays for the pipeline; the city handles bidding and construction administration.
