Metropolitan Water District has completed the Inland Feeder, a 44 mile long, 12 ft diameter high capacity water delivery system designed to increase operational flexibility for water storage and transport. The new system is able to take water to the new Diamond Valley Lake reservoir near Hemet and to groundwater storage basins. This allows water to be stored for use during dry periods and emergencies.
This is an example of what we as a state and nation need to be doing more of - building and expanding our infrastructure. This project improves the reliability of water service to millions of California residents and provided good paying jobs which benefited the local economy. Large public works projects like this are a win-win for everyone.
Here is a short video about the Inland Feeder project, including shots inside the tunnel.
