Document Description
Junction City Elementary School (JCESD) currently has 65 students and 20 staff members on site on any given school day. Special events can add up to 449 people on campus using the facilities. Junction City ESD well system was installed circa 1990 and recently updated (2019). Due to the nature of the Trinity River influenced water source, the current JCESD well site provides adequate water quantity but the quality needs additional filtration and treatment to ensure it is potable for consumption. The current filtration and treatment system is approaching 30 years of age, which poses increasing risk for imminent failure. Additionally, there is currently no backup power source for the system, further posing a risk to this essential community facility, which also serves as a Red Cross / Community Center during wildfires and other emergency events. This project consists of planning and design only, for a future project. The future project will include an upgrade the current system while also providing a propane fueled generator power backup to ensure consistent operation during emergency events. It is expected that this upgraded system will serve JCESD well into the future.
