Document Description
The City of Willits (City) proposes improvements to the Willits Groundwater System in order to increase the City’s conjunctive use capabilities and provide the City with a reliable water supply sufficient to meet community needs in the event surface water becomes untenable. The proposed project is located northeast of the City center on City-owned parcels identified by APNs 007-010-01, 108-030-06, and 108-020-05 (Site), which are currently utilized for the Willits Groundwater System, including the Elias Replacement well, Long 20 well, and groundwater treatment plant, and located adjacent to the City's sewer plant. Improvements would be completed in three (3) phases and would include the installation of 3,750 feet of new water line and the abandonment of 3,600 feet of existing water line within the Willits Groundwater System, the installation of a pump and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) facility to manage the Long 20 well, establishment of power to the Long 20 well pump and SCADA facility, arsenic pilot testing on the Long 20 well, and the installation of a 250,000-gallon clear well (chlorine contact tank) adjacent to the west of the groundwater treatment plant.
