Document Description
The project is located 16 miles west of Bakersfield within the Buttonwillow Service Area of the BVWSD, and primarily entails the installation of buried pipeline. The pipe would vary in size, between 21 and 63 inches, and be primarily buried adjacent to the Main Drain Canal and other district facilities, including portions of the West Side and East Side Canals. The new pipeline would be installed largely within the existing Right-of-way of the Main Drain and other district facilities. Laterals that deviate from district facilities would be located adjacent to field roads or other geographical features that minimize impacts to conservation and farming. The project construction would include activities consistent with digging, trenching and excavation of soil to install the new pipeline.
