Next phase of arterial slope rehabilitation project underway

Mission Viejo, Calif.- As part of an ongoing effort to conserve water, benefit the environment and beautify Mission Viejo, the City has embarked on the next phase of arterial landscape slope rehabilitation along a stretch of Jeronimo Road.

The work, which takes place on both sides of Jeronimo from Alicia to Montilla Lane, entails removing and replacing old, declining vegetation with drought-tolerant trees, shrubs and groundcover.

The effort also includes evaluating trees for selective trimming or removal, renovating antiquated irrigation systems, installing Smart irrigation controllers and erosion-control measures.

The slope rehabilitation program along Jeronimo Road also utilizes recycled/reclaimed irrigation water adding to the overall citywide water conservation efforts.
