Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Springfield Area Regional Consolidation Project

Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Springfield Area Regional Consolidation Project

The Proposed Project is a two (2)-phased project consisting of the consolidation of the Pajaro Water System (“PWS”), Sunny Mesa Water System (“SMWS”), and Springfield Water System (“SWS”), as well as the various water connections in the North of Moss Landing (“NOML”) area into a single water system to be owned and operated by the District. The First Phase of the Proposed Project is anticipated to be funded by the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) Expedited Drinking Water Grant and would consist of annexation of parcels into the District’s service area, land acquisition and easements, an Iron and Manganese Treatment System at the existing District office, consolidation pipelines (Transmission Mains) connecting the PWS to the SMWS and the SMWS to the SWS, Transmission Pump Station to convey water from PWS to SMWS, rehabilitation of the PWS’ existing 600,000 gallon welded steel water storage tank, electrical upgrades to the Sunny Mesa tank site, conversion of SMWS Wells No. 1 and No. 2 to standby-only use, radio meter upgrades, and installation of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) system. The First Phase of the Proposed Project is anticipated to be funded through the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) Expedited Drinking Water Grant Program. The Second Phase of the Proposed Project is anticipated to be funded by the California Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (“CA SRF”) funds from the SWRCB and would consist of the installation of the Springfield Expansion Distribution Main and the Bluff/Jensen Distribution Main, construction of the Bluff/Jensen tank and pump station, and installation of lateral service connections located on private property. The First Phase of the Proposed Project has been designed so that it could operate as a standalone water system in the event that the Second Phase of the Proposed Project is not funded or otherwise delayed. Once operational, the Proposed Project is anticipated to serve approximately 967 total connections. The Proposed Project includes approximately 46,000 linear feet (“LF”) of potable watermains between both phases, and a total of 235,000 LF of total pipeline when including service laterals and appurtenances. The pipeline infrastructure would include pipelines of six (6), eight (8), and 10-inch diameters. The Proposed Project would primarily be supplied water from three (3) sources, comprised of Pajaro Wells No. 1 and No. 2 and Springfield Well No. 2. Additionally, SMWS Wells No. 1 and No. 2 would be retained as standby sources of water for the Proposed Project, for an overall total of five (5) water sources. In addition, the Proposed Project includes additional infrastructure improvements at the existing PWS Water Storage Tank and Sunny Mesa Tank Site to facilitate O&M of the new water system.
