Project Background:

The Groveland Community Service District provides potable water services to the surrounding community. Some residents within or adjacent to the service area do not receive potable water services as they have their own potable water source, typically a groundwater well.

During drought conditions, the residents that are providing their own water service have experienced depleting groundwater level causing the wells to run dry.  There are others in the district who simply do not have access to potable water, which is a risk to health and safety.  

To alleviate this hardship, Tuolumne County has developed a program that will provide customers with funding to purchase potable water for residential purposes. To efficiently provide potable water to the residents in need, the Groveland CSD will be installing a new water refill station that will service residential water bottles and small portable tanks.  The fill station is also capable to fill commercial water trucks, which are typically used for construction dust control or firefighting.  This secondary source of potable water supply will ensure all residents have constant access to potable water.

AM Consulting Engineers prepared plans and specifications for the Water Refill Station REBID Project. The Project consists mainly of demolition of existing infrastructure, earthwork, concrete construction, pipeline furnish/installation, and owner furnished/contractor installed water fill station located at the District office.
