LAKE ELSINORE – In 2020, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) and Western Municipal Water District (Western) announced a historic partnership to provide water supply stability for both agencies as part of their plans for existing and future service demands across the region. As part of this partnership, EVMWD was able to exclusively reserve 12 cubic feet per second (CFS) capacity in the Mills Gravity Line through 2024 at a guaranteed rate, securing a means to convey imported water for EVMWD customers into the future. The Mills Gravity Line, owned by Western, is a critical pipeline that delivers water from Northern California.
In August 2023, EVMWD’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 6 CFS of the previously reserved capacity in the Mills Gravity Line. EVMWD
