City of Clovis nears completion of reuse pipeline; 17 end users connected, schools and park remain to be tied in

A City of Clovis representative, Mr. Hallwalt, updated the Water Policy Advisory Committee on the final phase of the city’s effluent reuse pipeline and on progress connecting end users.

Hallwalt said the reuse project’s final phase is about $16 million and ‘‘substantial completion’’ has been issued for the most recent construction work. He said the system was originally designed for 605,000,000 gallons annually and that as users come online the city tracks actual delivery against design. Through November of the current fiscal year, the city had delivered about 125,000,000 gallons to the 17 end users presently connected; he said at the same point last year those 14 connected users had received 112,000,000 gallons.

Remaining work and connections: Hallwalt said 11 end‑user connections remained to be completed, with Bob Spencer Park listed as the final city connection the parks department will install before irrigation season. He identified remaining external end users as parts of the Clovis Municipal School District and Clovis Community College, which are working to convert and connect facilities.

Hallwalt said the city is monitoring usage data and will evaluate whether supply and demand allow further expansion of reuse delivery to additional sites once consistent data are available. He closed by offering to answer questions and thanked committee members for their partnership.

Ending: The committee asked for continued quarterly updates on major water projects; Hallwalt affirmed the city will continue providing those reports.
