Coachella Valley Water District’s contractor (T.E. Roberts) is continuing work on Cook Street to install a nonpotable water pipeline. Changes have been made to traffic control as the work approaches Green Way.

Construction Timeline: June 9, 2025, through September 26, 2025

Work hours: Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Traffic Impact Schedule:

Phase II (August 15, 2025 – September 12, 2025) UPDATED

• Access to St James Place from Cook Street has been closed due to the Contractor preparing to cross the intersection and is currently estimated to be reopened when Phase II construction is complete.
• Access to Boardwalk will require a detour through Beacon Hill from Hovley Lane or through Green Way to Mayfair Drive.
• South and northbound traffic has been reduced to one lane on Cook Street from north of Sheryl Avenue to Hovley Lane for approximately half a mile. 
• Access to Sheryl Avenue and Merle Drive is available from both southbound and northbound lanes.
• Construction activity has been moved to night work to keep access to Green Way open during the day. Access to Green Way will be closed during the construction hours of 7:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. from August 25, 2025 to August 27, 2025.

Phase III (September 12, 2025 – September 26, 2025) UPDATED

• Northbound lanes on Cook Street will be closed from Hovley Lane to Country Club Drive. All traffic will be rerouted through Hovley Lane to Portola Avenue.
• Alternative plans are being considered to prevent lane closures. Therefore, Phase III is subject to change. Notifications will be actively posted.

Please plan and use alternative routes if possible and expect delays around the affected areas. Detours are posted throughout Cook Street.

Posted schedules may change due to inclement weather or field conditions.

This portion of the project will expand CVWD’s delivery capacity to serve nonpotable recycled water to more customers throughout the valley, thereby maximizing the use of recycled water and reducing groundwater pumping for outdoor irrigation. It also addresses long-term water management goals by increasing the supply of recycled water to supplement local water supplies and safeguarding the local groundwater basin for future generations.
