- Document Description
- The Soquel Creek Water District (SqCWD) proposes to implement the Well Master Plan (WMP) project to improve redundancy and flexibility in the SqCWD's water production and distribution system while redistributing pumping away from coastal and depressed groundwater areas. The WMP proposes a phased approach for adding five groundwater production wells to the SqCWD system. Four new municipal production wells are proposed at the O'Neil Ranch Well site (Soquel Drive and 41st Avenue in Soquel); Cunnison Lane Well site (Cunnision Lane, north of Soquel Drive in Soquel); Austrian Way Well site (Austrian Way and Jennifer Way in Aptos); and Granite Way-Aptos Village Well Site (Granite Way and Village Drive in Aptos). The WMP also proposes converting an existing irrigation well at Polo Grounds Regional park (between North Polo Drive and South Polo Drive in Aptos) to a municipal well. Auxiliary improvements related to the five proposed wells include new pipelines and water treatment facilities.The SqCWD also proposes to abandon and destroy one deteriorating production well, and remove two existing production wells from service and maintain those wells as inactive wells. Implementation of the WMP would not increase groundwater pumping, but would allow SqCWD to redistribute groundwater pumping to achieve more uniform drawdown, reduce susceptibility to seawater intrusion, and minimize localized pumping depression. Implementation of the WMP would likely occur over a five-year period, with one new well constructed each year.
