Document Description
The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of an underground 12- inch blending pipeline, various pressure zone connections to the nearby distribution system, and additional Project area improvements that would convey water from the existing Morning Drive Reservoir located at the Morning Drive tank site to the Well 21 site in unincorporated and incorporated areas of the eastern portion of the City of Bakersfield. The water transferred from the Monring Drive tank site to the Well 21 site will be blended and treated prior to distribution to reduce nitrate levels below the regulated MCL for safe consumption. The pipeline would travel south from the Morning Drive Reservoir to the intersection of Niles Street/Kern Canyon Road and Morning Drive, east on Kern Canyon Road and then east on Shalane Avenue. From the intersection of Shalane Avenue and Monica Street, the pipeline will extend south to Breckenridge Road. The pipeline would continue south from Breckenridge Road to Redbank Road, west on Redbank Road towards a point approximately 310 feet north of the intersection of Emmy Drive and Katte Avenue. The pipeline will then travel south until reaching Emmy Drive. From this point it will travel south on Emmy Drive to E. Wilson Road, then east on Wilson Road to the Well 21 site driveway and into the Well 21 site.
