Document Description
Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) owns an existing monitoring well in the northwest portion of the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin (Basin; Department of Water Resources Basin No. 2-10) that is located in the middle of Bollinger Canyon Road and near the cross-street Camino Ramon. Bollinger Canyon Road is a major thoroughfare often with heavy traffic that requires extensive traffic control to access and monitor the well for water levels and collection of water quality samples. Zone 7 plans to destroy the existing well and replace it in a more accessible and safer location nearby, while still providing access to critical groundwater conditions in the northwest portion of the Basin. The proposed location of the new well is along the Iron Horse Trail corridor (owned by Contra Costa County) at approximately 37.759116, -121.951713). The project is expected to take place in 2027.
