City Hall Project
We are pleased to provide an update on the New City Hall project, which officially broke ground in December 2023. This important development is set to enhance our city’s administrative capabilities and provide a state-of-the-art facility for the community.
Current Status:
As of July 2024, we have reached a significant milestone in the construction process. The steel beam framing for the New City Hall has begun, marking a major step forward in the project’s progression. This phase of construction not only signifies the transition from groundwork to structural development but also brings us closer to the vision of a modern and functional city hall.

Lake Watch
Based on recent lab results from lake water sampling, the City of Lake Elsinore is announcing that current levels of toxins from algae warrant the posting of a “Caution” advisory. People are advised to avoid scum, to not drink lake water, and to continue to keep pets out of the water.
The City will continue to test the water on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at this time and will post regular updates on the lake conditions as lab results are received.
