The construction of the Water Treatment Plant continues progressing smoothly, with key milestones being met on schedule. Since the last update on 03/28/2025, the contractor Pacific Hydrotech has continued to install the water lines that will distribute well water throughout the Water Treatment Plant, creating an intricate network of distribution lines underground. Several vaults were installed at certain points along the water lines and will eventually contain control valves and pumps. Pacific Hydrotech also installed the two large filter vessels that will treat the well water and began connecting the new filters to the water system. Each vessel is custom fabricated from steel and stands about 8 feet tall by 15 feet long.

From the desk of President Jordan D. Joaquin:
It is with a profound sense of respect and care for the Quechan Tribe that I announce my decision to step-down from my role as President before my full term concludes in 2026. While this decision has been a challenging one personally, I believe it is in the best interest of our tribe and its future.
