STORM DRAIN LINE 6, STAGE 3

ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE: LATE 2027/EARLY 2028

The City of Palm Springs and the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC) are entering into a Funding/Cooperative Agreement for the construction of flood control improvements. The project consists of approximately 4,000 linear feet of reinforced concrete pipe (30-60 inches in diameter) and related structures. This pipeline will collect stormwater from the area and convey it underground along Avenida Caballeros where it will connect to existing storm drain infrastructure on Vista Chino. The goal of this project is to improve stormwater conveyance, reduce flooding risks, and protect property in Palm Springs.

This project is a major undertaking and while the long-term benefits of a flood control project of this nature are undeniable, there will be significant disturbances to traffic and community activities near the construction zone. See location map and typical installation pictures below.

As of mid-2025 This project is in its initial planning stages; residents and the community will not experience any inconvenience from this project until the construction begins, which may tentatively break ground sometime in late 2027 to 2028.

IMPACTED AREA ONCE PROJECT COMMENCES WILL BE BOTH NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND LANES ALONG AVENIDA CABALLEROS BETWEEN FRANCIS DRIVE AND VISTA CHINO (HIGHWAY 111).
