escribe the Project:
The City of Lake Elsinore (City) Department of Public Works is requesting three (3) floating restrooms from the California State Parks – Division of Boating and Waterways Floating Restrooms Grant Program for the Lake Elsinore recreational area (Lake). The Lake has two existing restrooms which were installed following the award of the 2013 Floating Restroom Grant. Due to their age and condition from cumulative wear and tear, neither restroom is functioning as needed – one is 100% Draft

completely defunct, and the other is minimally functional. For the past few years, the City has been taking parts from one of the restrooms to extend the life of the second and keep it functional. Both restrooms are heavily vandalized and are past their useful life (11 years old).
L
ake Elsinore is one of Southern California’s fastest growing cities. Between 2000 and 2023, the overall population grew by 144% (Nielsburg Insights). The average growth rate for the last ten years has been approximately 2.45% per year. In response to population growth and increased demand for recreational opportunities, the City has invested heavily in developing numerous amenities at the Lake over the past decade. Population growth and the draw of these amenities have placed a strain on the existing floating restrooms. As such, the City aims to replace both existing restrooms and add a third to accommodate growing demand and use of the Lake by residents as well as local and regional visitors. A grant award from the DBW will allow the City to have three fully functioning floating restrooms at this heavily trafficked and popular Lake.
