The County of Riverside will be providing an additional $800,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funding for the Rancho California Water District’s project to construct two in-line turbine hydroelectric generators.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 November 5 to approve an amendment to the infrastructure project funding agreement between the County of Riverside and the Rancho California Water District for the hydroelectric facilities. The $800,000 is in addition to a $3,000,000 ARPA allocation approved last year and will cover a portion of the increased construction costs.
The two in-line turbine generators will be located at the Upper Valle de Los Caballos recharge and recovery facility in the 42100 block of Winchester Road and on Washington Avenue adjacent to the Elm St
