Scope of Work

Caliagua (or your contracting entity) will execute the Lord Ranch Facilities Project under the direction of West Valley Water District (WVWD), located in Rialto, California. The project entails constructing a new 1.0 million gallon welded-steel reservoir (80 ft diameter, 32 ft high) and an associated pump station in a concrete masonry building. The pump station will house multiple booster pumps designed to provide a maximum capacity of about 2,980 gpm (≈ 20 MGD equivalent, with one pump on standby) to integrate with the existing water delivery network. Additional work includes connecting pipelines—specifically two 30″ pipelines linking the new facilities to existing infrastructure—as well as site grading, drainage improvements, access roadways, asphalt paving, and utility tie-ins. The project also involves constructing site improvements, driveways, and hardened surfaces around the tank, pump station, and treatment facility. Electrical, instrumentation, and control system integration will be required to make the new reservoir and pump facility fully operable with existing systems. Caliagua will also oversee startup, testing, commissioning, and coordination with WVWD operations to ensure seamless transition and integration into the district’s distribution systems. To the extent necessary, temporary bypasses or partial operational phasing must be employed to maintain supply service during construction.

Community Benefit

The Lord Ranch Facilities Project delivers numerous community and regional benefits:

• Improved water supply resilience — The new reservoir and enhanced pump station increase storage and boosting capacity, enabling greater flexibility in serving demand peaks and providing redundancy in the system.
• Better system reliability — By integrating new infrastructure with existing pipelines and distribution, the project helps prevent outages, maintain consistent pressures, and accommodate maintenance without service disruption.
• Support for growth and development — The upgraded infrastructure positions WVWD to serve future development in its northern service area more effectively, ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with community expansion.
• Operational efficiency and modernization — New mechanical, electrical, and control systems improve energy efficiency, reduce losses, and enable smarter management of flows.
• Public trust and sustainability — Transparent, high-quality infrastructure investment demonstrates the district’s commitment to water reliability, helping build confidence among residents, developers, and local planners.
