News for Jurupa Valley to use

Limonite Avenue will close for five weeks


Jurupa Community Services District will close Limonite Avenue from Bain Street to Beach Street, on May 28 through July 2. During this time it will install its $20 million Pyrite Creek Sewer Project, which replaces sewer lines installed in the 1960s.

 The new sewer lines will be buried 30 feet underground. During construction, a trench that deep will cross Limonite, making it nearly impossible for vehicles, horses or pedestrians to cross safely. Traffic will be limited to construction vehicles, and those needing access to property between Beach and Bain.

No businesses on Limonite will close during construction. 

 To reach locations on the opposite side of the sewer construction project, drivers must detour to Jurupa Road during the five weeks. 

 For more information, call JCSD Communtiy Affairs Officer Aileen Flores at (951) 727-8002 or email her at  aflores@jcsd.us 

Assemblyman Eric Linder hosting open house in Corona

Assemblyman Eric Linder, who represents Jurupa Valley and several other northwest Riverside County cities, will host an open house with light refreshments at his Corona office Friday, May 3 from noon to 2 p.m. He invites the public to learn about what’s happening in Sacramento and find out what resources are available to the community through the Corona field office, 4740 Green River Road, Suite 310, Corona. To RSVP, please call the district office at (951) 371-6860.

Project connects community services districts' water systems

A $3.8 million project taking place later this year will triple the amount of water the Rubidoux and Jurupa Community Services districts can exchange between them. 

The project will be 24" water lines installed near Mission Avenue and Golden West Road, a boundary between the two community services districts. When complete, the districts will be able to exchange about 1,500 acre-feet of water, compared to only about 500 acre-feet now. An acre-foot is approximately 325,000 gallons.

This improvement will allow Jurupa Community Services District to purchase more water from Rubidoux Community Services District. It has immediate plans upon completion of this project to bring in 4,500 gallons a minute from Rubidoux, to ensure there is adequate water supply in its territory. 

The connection will also help in emergencies. During the Jurupa Fire, the Rubidoux CSD was the first responder. Although its firefighters could not have put the fire out without aoutside assistance, had the larger connection been in place, it would have been able to put more water on the fire before the other firefighting agencies arrived. 

Jurupa Valley's two community services districts date back to the 1950s. The Rubidoux CSD serves the eastern one-third of the city, and the Jurupa CSD serves the remainer of Jurupa Valley as well as all of Eastvale.

An inexpensive day in Houston

Image
 Most of the time, you can find me working on a blog post or one of my books at a Starbucks somewhere in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area. In fact, today I am working on this blog at a Starbucks in Fort Worth.  But sometimes, I am out and about finding new things here in Texas where I have lived since May of 2021. And now that I have resurrected this blog, it seems my discoveries are a good thing to share with anyone reading. So, today I am going to tell you about a fairly recent trip my husband and I made to Houston in December 2021.  We have been to Houston three times since moving to Texas. All three trips down there were so Don could participate in vinyl record shows. He makes enough to cover all our travel expenses and several hundred dollars over that. So, they're worthwhile trips.  Unfortuately, two of the three - especially our most recent earlier this month - left us with no time to enjoy Houston. But I'm going to go ahead and embarrass Don by telling you ...

My history in Texas

Image
  My fourth great-grandparents, James and Mary Graham, are buried in the Skinner Cemetery. My great-great-great-great-grandfather is the elder of the two James Grahams mentioned on this plaque. My great-great-great-grandparents on this side are buried elsewhere in Texas,  but my great-great-grandparents on this side (as well as two other great-great-grandfathers), my great-grandparents (all eight of them) and grandparents (all four of them) are buried in California. My parents and brother live and were born in California. I also lived in California for 57 of my 60 years.  History fascinates us. I speak for myself and my husband Don. I know many others don’t have the same fascination we do with discovering how people lived in the past. For almost seven years, I’ve been especially fascinated with American history from the mid-19 th century to the early 20 th century. Until recently, my primary focus had been Central California. That is the northern portion of the San Jo...

North and central Denton County are historic and still agricultural

Image
  The historic 1897 Denton County Courthouse and the square of late 19th/early 20th century buildings surrounding it are iconic of this county northwest of Dallas. But the county offers old, new, suburban and very rural areas to enjoy.  Previously, I discussed places I enjoy visiting in the southeast portion of Denton County. This area is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Today, we will look at some of my favorite places I have visited or want to visit in the rest of Denton County, an area that either still maintains its rural character or has developed a nouveau rural character. The southwest portion of Denton County is the latter, nouveau rural. Because of my husband's employment in the estate sale business, I have visited two of these suburbs, Argyle and Double Oak. Both of these small towns are primarily large homes, none of them very old, on half-acre lots with no farms in the area. Argyle is immediately south of Denton, while Double Oak is eight miles southeast ...
