Named ‘Valle de Las Caballos’ in Temecula horse country
Several dozen officials and special guests joined the Board of the Rancho Water District to break ground for the Valle de Los Caballos Regional Water Sustainability Project off DePortola Road on September 24 in Temecula.
The $23 million project will bring four new wells that will join three already existing wells that will feed a large underground aquifer that will help serve the districts growing 45,000 mostly residential and commercial customers in any dryer or drought years ahead. This Rancho Water District project is part of an ongoing $90 million groundwater banking project which will allow the district to treat and deliver water from three sources, local groundwater,Vail Lake and imported supplies.
