EBMUD is installing more than three miles of large-diameter transmission pipeline from the Lafayette Water Treatment Plant on Mt. Diablo Blvd. to the intersection of Moraga Road and Draeger Drive in Moraga. 

Construction Progress Report (last updated July 23, 2008)

Moraga Road continues to be closed to through-traffic from Old Jonas Hill Road to Sky-Hy Drive, 9am to 5:30pm weekdays.  Access to this area is limited to residents, essential services, and emergency vehicles. 

Within the road closure area, transmission pipeline is currently being installed from Moraga Road at Nemea Lane uphill and into the Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area. 

Transmission pipeline work continues on Moraga Road between Campolindo Drive and Buckingham.  Traffic controls and pipeline work will then move down to Donald Drive and begin working north toward Rheem Blvd.   

EBMUD crews continue to work on smaller pipes in various sections of Moraga Road, adjusting their work to stay ahead and out of the way of the transmission pipeline.

Environmental Documentation

The Moraga Road Pipeline Project was approved in December 2006 when the EBMUD Board of Directors certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Water Treatment and Transmission Improvements Program.  A Supplemental EIR was certified by the Board in November 2007.

The Supplemental EIR consists of the Draft Supplemental EIR, comments received during the public comment period, and responses to comments.  These can be viewed and printed through Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0, a free software.   You may experience problems if you attempt to open these files using an older version of Acrobat Reader.
