Document Description
The proposed project is the repair of a water main that crosses the San Lorenzo River. On September 6, 2021 the SLVWD suffered a major break of a 12-inch main
between the District's Felton wells and its Boulder Creek system. This main, generally referred to as the "HUD main", is the primary backbone used to move well water north
in the summer and treated surface water south in the winter. After the 2020 CZU Complex Fires the HUD main is the only potable water source into the District's north
system (Ben Lomond, Brookdale and Boulder Creek). The project is to implement permanent repairs to the water main to ensure potable water supply for these
communities. The alignment of the new 12-inch main will make connection to the existing main east of Huckleberry Island and north of Pacific Street, run southward to
Pacific Street (a private ROW) to the eastern corner of the Huckleberry Island bridge. sting 12-inch main north and west of the recent break location.
