Extension of State Water Project completed
REDLANDS – (INT) – Water officials are commemorating the completion of the State Water Project’s East Branch Aqueduct to bring additional supplies to communities in the eastern San Bernardino Valley and the Banning Pass.

In addition to San Bernardino, the East Branch Extension provides a reliable water supply to Mentone, Redlands, Cherry Valley, Beaumont, and the San Gorgonio Pass communities.

The East Branch Extension was constructed in multiple phases over the course of almost 20 years.

The $411 cost of the project was paid for by San Bernardino and San Gorgonio Pass water agencies.

“This project is about perseverance and strong partnerships that have followed through on the commitments made 58 years ago when the State Water Project was built,” said Douglas Headrick, general manager of San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. “We are now able to ensure reliable, secure water for existing and future customers, which will allow for the continued growth of our community.”
