This Local Hazard Mitigation Plan systematically identifies and assesses potential hazards, including dam/reservoir failure, drought, flood, geologic, human-caused incidents, landslide/mudflow, seismic events, severe weather, and wildfires, affecting the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. The plan evaluates the vulnerability of the district's critical facilities to these identified hazards and outlines comprehensive mitigation goals and specific actions designed to reduce risk, enhance community resilience, and ensure the continuous provision and maintenance of essential water and wastewater services. It also details procedures for the plan's continuous long-term implementation and maintenance.

This 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan outlines the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District's strategy to prepare for and respond to water shortages, focusing on conserving water supply, protecting its integrity, and safeguarding public health, welfare, and safety.

This document, a Water, Recycled and Wastewater Rate Study conducted for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, aims to update its financial plan and set rates for Fiscal Years 2022 through 2025. It reviews the financial health of the Elsinore Division (potable water), Temescal Division (potable water), Recycled Water, and Wastewater utilities. The study identifies necessary revenue adjustments and rate increases to cover operational costs, fund system improvements, and maintain adequate reserve levels, primarily relying on a 2019 cost of service analysis due to recent irregular usage patterns.

This document presents a comprehensive wastewater rate study for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, covering a four-year period from Fiscal Year 2024 through Fiscal Year 2027. The primary objectives are to establish projected costs, allocate these costs proportionally among customer classes to ensure fair sharing, and maintain financial sustainability. The study proposes new rate adjustments due to increased capital expenses and operating costs, aiming to fund approximately $35.5 million in capital replacement projects through a Pay-As-You-Go approach and ensure minimum reserve targets are met.
