Norco, California is a city in Riverside County east of Los Angeles and roughly 50 miles from the Pacific Ocean coastline.

It is nicknamed, “Horsetown, USA” and is well known for being a horse-centered community. The city has over 400 acres of parkland and one of the largest networks of horse trails in the nation.

Another slogan of Norco is “City living in a rural atmosphere” as the city sits 28 miles east of Anaheim, California. The population was 26,316 in the 2020 census.

The area is lined with farms, ranches, corrals, hitching posts, riding trails and much more.

Interstate 15 crosses through this area while California Route 91 runs just to the south.

Norco is home to a variety of parks and attractions including SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Park, Pumpkin Rock, Lake Norconian Club, Pikes Peak Park, Eastvale Community Park, Hidden Valley Golf Club, Riverwalk Park, Shearer Park, Pacer Park, and the Santa Ana River runs through town.

The Santa Ana Mountains are noticeable throughout the city.

This stormwater lift station project is for a new business park being developed by Caprock Partners in Norco, CA. The site has needs for a detention basin to contain storm events and a pump station to empty the basin into the public stormwater system. It will sit in the berm/access road of the detention basin.

Romtec Utilities was originally contacted by David Evans and Associates Inc. (DEA) – Tustin, CA office who were interested in a package solution for the pump station. This is a private project (funded by Caprock) with the intention of it staying privately owned.

Caprock Partners is a privately owned investor and developer of industrial properties in the western and central U.S.

David Evans and Associates is a leader in the design and management of complex transportation, land development, water resources, and energy projects nationwide.

The Installing Contractor was Paulus Engineering whom Romtec Utilities has worked with before on Washington Ave Lift Station Retrofit. We are glad to be doing another project with Paulus who specializes in wet utilities services and is based in Anaheim, California.

The General Contractor for this new business park development was Oltmans Construction.

Oltmans Construction is a full service general contracting company with specialties in commercial and industrial amongst others, based in Whittier, CA.

Romtec Utilities sales worked with DEA, Paulus, Caprock, and Oltman leading up to the contract although our primary contacts were with DEA as they contacted us first. All in all, this was a great process in which David Evans and Associates went to bat for us with the contractors and Paulus was happy to use our scope (design, manufacture, and supply).
