Document Description
The Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water) is proposing a drought emergency project to bring an existing groundwater well at the Todd Road Well Station (Well Station) into operation and to increase regional and community drought resiliency. The Well Station is located along the Russian River-Cotati Intertie Aqueduct (underground pipeline). The purpose of the project is to provide supplemental water from the existing well to support agriculture and public water retailers (cities and water districts) during the drought emergency. The project will consist of installing additional piping and associated equipment from the well to the main pipeline to ensure chlorine contact time regulatory requirements are met for potable water use. The new piping and appurtenances would be installed at and beneath the existing graveled hardscape area adjacent to the Aqueduct and well. Approximately 250 feet of 30-inch-diameter pipe would be installed. Total pipe length would be adjusted based on final procurement of pipe diameter. The 0.03-acre excavation area would be contained within the 0.13-acre work area on Sonoma Water property. The proposed project would not change the existing capacity of the Aqueduct or impact mature trees or native vegetation.
