The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has granted an easement to the Eastern Municipal Water District for an EMWD water pipeline.
The June 13 MWD board action authorizes the granting of a permanent 40 foot wide easement northeast of Diamond Valley Lake. Eastern will pay MWD $60,000 for the fair market value for the easement area and another $6,000 for processing fees.
The 4.1-acre easement area is south of the intersection of Chambers Avenue and Palm Avenue in the City of Hemet. In October 2003 MWD granted approximately 1.7 acres to EMWD for a 20 foot wide utility easement to accommodate a 24-inch potable water pipeline at the location. The additional 40 foot wide easement will accommodate future construction, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a pipeline
