This integrated program ensures a long-term, second water supply capable of sustaining the community during extended drought and emergency conditions, improves operational capacity and redundancy, and provides new fire hydrants and fireflow.

Sub-Project 1: New Groundwater Well

Established a new groundwater source to diversify supply and reduce reliance on surface water during drought conditions.

Sub-Project 2: New Water Storage Tank, Pipeline, and Fire Hydrants

Constructed new storage and transmission facilities, including fire hydrants connecting directly to the Big Oak Flat water system, improving redundancy and fire flow capacity.

Sub-Project 3: Relocation and Permanent Installation of the Alternative Water Supply Water Treatment Plant

Converted a temporary emergency asset into a permanent, fully integrated treatment facility, ensuring continuous access to a second independent water supply with future expansion capability.
