PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will replace the existing generator at Site 1, which is undersized and past its useful life expectancy. The new generator will be relocated outside and adjacent to the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well #1 wellhouse in an effort to make the site more seismically resilient. Once installed, the generator will provide essential backup power to Pump Station 1, ASR 1, and the existing maintenance building at Site 1.

WHY IT’S NEEDED: The current generator at Site 1 is approximately 40 years old. Because of its age, replacement parts are hard to find and maintenance costs are increasing. The generator is also undersized and not able to power ASR-1 (an emergency drinking water supply) and Pump Station 1 simultaneously.

TIMELINE: Design expected to be complete in spring 2024. Permitting expected to be complete by Fall 2024. Construction to be completed in 2025.

FUNDING SOURCE: Water Fund

CURRENT PROJECT: The current project undertaken through this program will be to replace obsolete control system equipment, ensuring reliable distribution of clean drinking water to community members

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS: The new generator will reduce maintenance costs.

STRATEGIC PLAN TIE-IN: This project supports the fourth goal to “fund the vision while maintaining core services” as it will allow for the continued supply of the basic, daily need of clean drinking water to community members.
