Document Description
Placer County Water Agency is proposing to initiate the Communications Upgrade Project. PCWA owns and operates the Middle Fork American River Project (MFP), a multi-purpose water supply and hydro-generation project. The MFP includes existing communications facilities that allow transfer of information between powerhouse and PCWA's Church Street facility and its Foresthill and Auburn offices. Some of these facilities have deteriorated and need to be replaced, and others need redundant facilities installed. PCWA proposes to install/upgrade communication facilities at the following locations: Fiber Optic Cable in Foresthill, French Meadows Powerhouse, Bunker Hill, LL Anderson Dam, Red Star Ridge, Middle Fork Surge Shaft, Ralston Surge Shaft, and Church Street Communication Site.
