Document Description
The applicant Winterhaven County Water District is proposing a Conditional Use Permit to construct a new groundwater well to replace Well No. 2 which provides potable water to the small rural community of Winterhaven, California, including approximately: 107 residential connections, 22 commercial connections, and 495-space RV park. The District's system currently relies entirely on Well No. 3, which produces about 350 gallons per minute (GPM). Well No. 2, which was installed about 40 years ago, has been out of service since 2016 due to sand infiltration caused by structural failure of its well screen and gravel pack. The new Well No. 2 will be drilled to about 500 feet deep, with a 10-inch casing and an estimated production capacity of 400 GPM (645.20 AFY).
