Document Description
California Water Service (CWS) is proposing to drill a well at a property located on the east side of 7th Avenue, south of Huntington Lane (APN: 035-380-059-000). The proposed well is critical to the water supply of the Oroville water system and is needed to mitigate the increasing unreliability of the water supply as drought conditions affect surface water availability. The approximately 1.13-acre site is currently an empty lot, zoned as "Intensive Commercial (C-2)".
