Document Description
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-fcet by 150-fcet 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-fcet by 40-fcet by I 0-fcet 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 constniction/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 west for approximately 25-fcet and tic into the City's existing 6-inch water transmission line in Waugh Lane. The pipeline would be trenched and buried approximately 3-fcet deep below the existing ground surface. The new well will help provide water supply and pressure requirements for the area. Any damages to existing access roadways and fencing during construction will be returned to pre-construction conditions or better.
