- Well 2 Inspection. Well 2, located between the 13th and 17th fairways along the golf course, provides the community with a high yield of water. This well is especially crucial during the summer months when water demand is high due to population increase and irrigation of landscape. Originally drilled in 1985, Well 2 has performed with very few issues in the 38 years it has been in existence. With very little maintenance other than addressing urgent issues, it was decided to take a closer look at the overall condition of the well through video camera to identify any issues with the well casing, screens, and pump. A company from Janesville, Ca, Your H2O Pro, has been hired to conduct the inspection of Well 2. This company has done work for PECSD on Well 1b in 2013/2014 and is a very reputable well specialist. An initial video has been taken of the well casing and screens; showing the well casing is in good shape with no seen issues. The screens were shown to be plugged with iron and other minerals, causing a reduction in the amount of water produced. At that time the well produced 450 gallons per minute; after cleaning and pump maintenance, it is estimated that the well could produce upwards of 550-600 gallons per minute. The well was cleaned and additional repairs and maintenance were completed.
- Sequoia Lift Station. The sewer lift station of Sequoia Circle that serves Wastewater Treatment Plant 7 (WWTP 7), collects wastewater from Eureka Springs, Tamarack Circle, Tamarack Place, Cottonwood Drive, Sequoia Circle, as well as parts of Poplar Valley Road, and Jacks Court. This lift station is a critical piece of the sewer infrastructure and was in desperate need of improvements and repair. With its location near drainage that leads to the Wild & Scenic Feather River, a failure of the lift station would lead to pollution of the river and fines from the State Water Resources Control Board. Sequoia Lift Station has had problematic issues the last few years including pump failures, control failures, and power outages. Staff has been able to handle these failures with no spills or violations, but an improvement project was needed to avoid any future violations and create reliability with the lift station. In September, McGarr Excavation was able to complete the project in what felt like record time with a new lift station being operational within three days of the start of the project. The completion of the lift station project provides the District with reliable and efficient piece of infrastructure for decades in the future.
