Jurupa Valley approves $2.27 million contract to install stormwater full‑capture devices
Summary
The city authorized a contract to install 73 full‑capture stormwater devices and to clean hundreds of catch basins as part of a federally mandated stormwater compliance program. Staff said the work targets the highest‑intensity trash drains and will advance a 2030 compliance schedule.
Jurupa Valley’s City Council approved a contract to install 73 full‑capture devices and expand maintenance of storm drain catch basins as part of the city’s stormwater permit compliance work.
City stormwater staff told the council the program targets about 800 high‑intensity drains across the city and that the contract will also fund cleaning of roughly 560 catch basins. “We have identified approximately 800 storm drains where the high intensity of trash [occurs],” staff said, adding that about 215 devices are already installed and this contract will increase that number.
The staff report estimated the contract amount at roughly $2,268,650 and said installations are prioritized in the worst‑affected neighborhoods first. Staff framed the work as a permit requirement under the city’s stormwater obligations and said the installations and routine cleaning are necessary to reduce debris entering the storm system.
Council members asked clarifying questions about selection criteria and timing; staff said the initial focus is the highest‑intensity areas, then broader rollout toward the 2030 compliance target. The council approved the contract by voice vote.
Council and staff noted the work pairs hardware installation with ongoing cleaning to satisfy regional permit limits and reduce observable trash in neighborhoods. The council did not set a separate implementation timeline beyond the permit‑driven schedule and inspection requirements.
