Document Description
The Okieville Recharge Basin Project involves the construction of a 20-acre recharge facility and supporting infrastructure, adjacent and up-gradient of the Community of Okieville (a Disadvantaged Community). The Project’s purpose is two-fold: one, to increase the availability of wet-year recharge capacity and, two, to provide water quality benefits to the residents of Okieville. The Project is anticipated to provide 630 acre-feet per year (AF/YR) of average annual benefits and 1,400 AF of maximum recharge in wet years of high-quality Sierra watershed surface supplies dedicated to recharging up-gradient of the community, which should improve the quality of local groundwater pumped by the Okieville-Highland Acres Mutual Water Company well and delivery system. TID also intends to implement a Monitoring Program, including monitoring wells, to determine the empirical benefits of groundwater recharge on the quantity and quality of groundwater available to the community.
