Upland Colonies Catch Basin Improvments almost done!

Well its getting closer to completion and soon people will have more to do in the Upland Colonies! The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is about to start the final phase of the extensive improvements. Some of the improvements nearing completion include walking paths and a natural water table which will flow through the catch basin. The final phase will include irrigation piping and landscaping with native plants which are grown specifically for this project. There are many places to sit and enjoy the views of the nearby Mountains and even picnic tables for people to enjoy the outdoors.

Soon a natural water table will be allowed to flow through the basin which will also double as flood control.

Benches and walking paths provide great views of the San Bernardino Mountains

The flow of water can be controlled much easier with the new spillway installed.

Stations placed throughout the walking paths provide a place for dog lovers to clean up pet waste
