Document Description
The Newhall County Water District (NCWD) intends to adopt a Master Plan for the orderly development of water distribution facilities. The Castaic Water System is one of four water systems operated by the NCWD. The service area comprises approximately 7,750 acres. The Master Plan, updated May 2006, identifies recommended improvements to be constructed in phases to meet the current and projected water needs of more than a dozen anticipated development projects that would be served by the Castaic Water System and for which tentative maps and/or specific plans have been approved by Los Angeles County. These facilities would later be augmented to meet the water distribution needs of the entire Castaic area as it is completely developed. The Master Plan ties completion of the recommended improvements to three phasing years: 2006, 2010, and 2020. Implementation of the Master Plan would involve temporary disturbance to areas where pipelines, pumps, reservoirs and other related infrastructure components would be installed.
