Title

Casitas-Ojai Water System Consolidation Project

Description

CMWD acquired the Ojai Water System in 2017 from Golden State Water Company. The proposed project would integrate the Ojai Water System with the Casitas Water System to address insufficient storage capacity in the Ojai Water System and provide compatible water treatment to both systems. The proposed project consists of five main components: • Pipeline installation, consisting of approximately 450 linear feet of a new 6-inch water pipeline at the Private Drive site in unincorporated Ventura County; as well as approximately 1,100 linear feet of a new 8-inch pipeline at the Foothill Road site, in unincorporated Ventura County and the City of Ojai; • Tank demolition, abandonment, and construction, consisting of demolition of the existing 1.0-million gallon concrete tank at the Arbolada Tank site in Ojai; abandonment of the existing Running Ridge tanks at the Running Ridge site in unincorporated Ventura County; and construction of a 1.0-million gallon welded steel tank at the Ojai East Tank site in Ojai; • Tank rehabilitation, consisting of rehabilitation of an existing 3.0-million gallon welded steel tank at the Ojai East Tank site in Ojai; • Water treatment, consisting of conversion of the existing treatment system at the Ojai Water System Wellfield in Ojai from chlorine to chloramines, which would involve installation of a new, approximately 2,700 linear feet discharge line, a new free chlorine analyzer, a new sample point for the analyzer, a new ammonia injection point, and new ammonia storage tanks and dosing pumps; • Booster pump station demolition and construction, consisting of demolition of the existing pump station at the Arbolada Tank site in Ojai; and construction of a temporary pump station and new pump station at the same site.
