Water Main Testing Protocol

If you own or operate a business within the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Service area, you may be required to apply for a permit to discharge your wastewater. Even if a permit is not required, there are prohibitions and limits on what can be discharged to the sewer. For more information on these, as well as what types of businesses need an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit, please contact pretreatment@evmwd.net.

Businesses with the potential to discharge toxic pollutants are issued permits and required to regularly sample and analyze their wastewater to make sure they meet their permit limits. The District Pretreatment Inspectors inspect permitted industries and monitor their wastewater discharge to determine compliance with their permit. Enforcement actions are taken against industries found to be in violation.

Prior to requesting an inspection, you must have submitted an Inspection Application and attended a pre-construction meeting with the District. Inspections can be scheduled by emailing the Inspection Request Form to Inspections@evmwd.net or by leaving a voicemail at (951) 674-3146, Ext. 8402. The District requires 48 hours advance notice to schedule an inspection. You will receive a calendar invite via the email provided when the inspection has been scheduled. If you do not receive a calendar invite, your inspection has not been scheduled and an inspector will not be present at your project site.

Inspection Request Form 

The Procedures to Construct Water and Sewer Facilities are to be used as a guideline to assist Developers, Engineers, and Contractors through the process of obtaining District services. The District will provide to the Engineer of Record revision comments on one set of the drawings and comment log. The District’s goal is to complete the plan check within 21 calendar days of receipt of submittal. Plan check review times vary depending on the number of plans in the review process, size of project, complexity of plans, and completeness of drawings.  

Signed plans are valid for 2 years from the General Manager’s signature on the mylars. At the end of the two-year period, the Plans will be considered expired if construction has not commenced, per Section 3900 of the District’s Administrative Code. A new Plan Check Application, deposit and required documents shall be submitted to the District to re-review the plans. If the District standard drawing or specifications are revised, the plans shall be revised to conform to the new standards. 

Please contact Development Services for any questions at (951) 674-3146, Ext. 6705, or at EngServices@evmwd.net.
