Document Description
The Proposed Project is located within the City of Ukiah limits on a vacant parcel that is owned by the City, located approximately 410 Talmage Road (APN# 003-150-40).
The purpose of the Proposed Project is to construct a new well with a capacity of approximately 600 to 1,000 gpm to help the City maintain and continue to provide its existing customers with safe, reliable, and redundant water supply. The Proposed Project would be constructed entirely on City owned property and would be of similar look, color, and size to the other City’s four (4) existing wells. The Proposed Project’s building would be located on a paved pad that would be approximately 150-feet by 150-feet and fenced with a locking gate. The Proposed Project would consist of construction and operation of a new municipal water well within an enclosed building approximately 20-feet by 40-feet by 10-feet high, which would occur in four phases. The first phase would be the construction of a test well to determine the potential capacity of the well and to test for water quality of the aquifer. If the capacity of the well and the water quality meet California’s drinking water standards, then the second phase would be for drilling and developing the well. This phase would drill the well hole and install blank and louvered casing to the necessary depths for the well. The third phase would be the installation of the pump and motor equipment. This would include the construction/installation of a drive motor, sand separator, as well as the construction of the building, fencing, site lighting, electrical equipment and other site improvements. The fourth and last phase would be the construction of a 12-inch transmission line that would run to the w
