East Highland Ranch Development

The developer of East Highland Ranch, Spring Pacific, is planning to build 600 houses over a two to three year period. As a result of this development, Spring Pacific will be required to assist in the cost of building a 750,000 gallon reservoir, booster station and hydro pneumatic system at various locations throughout the Ranch area. Design of the District facilities started in the spring of 2001 and is currently under construction.

Plant 142

The District has started well improvements on a lot located on Vista Rio, just south of Frontera Del Sur, in the East Highland area. This was an old agricultural well that is being re-equipped for domestic use. Improvements include equipping the well with a new pump and motor, and installation of a 50,000 gallon tank and a booster station. These improvements are needed to keep up with the demand for water.

Plant 37

The District has designed a tank and booster replacement and upgrade. The project is located north of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard at Sterling Avenue. A 1,000,000 gallon reservoir tank and small booster station are in need of repair and expansion. It was recently determined that the tank is located on a sub-fault tributary to the San Andreas Fault and therefore needs to be replaced with a new tank in a fault-free location. The District plans to build a 4,000,000 underground reservoir about 500 feet to the north of the existing tank, with two 100 horsepower booster pumps just north of the existing reservoir. Construction is expected to begin by Spring 2002. Construction costs are estimated in the $5 million range.

Plant 132 (Cull Plant)

Plant 132 is on San Francisco Street near Sparks Street and has three wells out of service due to previously high levels of perchloroethylene and nitrate. Recently, water testing from these wells indicated that the perchloroethylene contamination no longer exists and the nitrate levels have subsided to where no health danger exists. In July, the District’s staff returned one of the wells to service after installing new chlorine injection equipment. The cost of the project was under $2000. Currently, the District staff is working on returning another well to service by the end of May 2002.
