Some residents have requested additional independent studies related to safety, property values, and project impacts. The proposed project is subject to a comprehensive review process that includes compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, design standards, and permit requirements. As part of that process, the project must meet requirements related to public health, drinking water regulations, fire and life safety, building codes, environmental protections, land use, and zoning. JVWCD’s approach is to work through these established review and permitting processes, which are specifically designed to evaluate infrastructure projects and protect the public interest. The District is committed to providing information throughout that process and complying with all applicable requirements before any construction can proceed.
