Residents of Jurupa Valley raised pressing concerns during the City Council meeting on June 26, 2025, highlighting issues related to water pressure, electrical outages, and maintenance of vital drainage systems.

One resident from Skyview reported ongoing problems with underground pipes and sprinkler systems, attributing the issues to increased water pressure from new developments in the area. The resident urged the council to investigate the impact of rising water pressure on older homes, prompting city staff to assist in contacting the appropriate water district for further assistance.

Another speaker, Diana Butts, addressed the challenges faced during recent electrical repair work by Southern California Edison. She described how temporary generators provided during outages frequently malfunctioned, causing significant inconvenience for residents. The council acknowledged the feedback and confirmed ongoing discussions with Edison to improve service reliability.

Deborah, a long-time resident, brought attention to the maintenance of a V ditch along Galena Street, which plays a crucial role in managing stormwater runoff and preventing flooding. She expressed concern over the overgrown weeds that pose fire hazards and compromise neighborhood safety. Deborah has been advocating for regular maintenance of the ditch for over a year, emphasizing its importance to the broader community.

The discussions at the meeting underscored the city council's commitment to addressing resident concerns and improving infrastructure. As the council continues to engage with utility companies and prioritize community maintenance, residents can expect ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life in Jurupa Valley.
