Bell Canyon Reservoir 3 and Creek Pipeline Replacement

The Bell Canyon Reservoir 3 and Creek Pipeline Replacement project, managed by the Ventura County Waterworks District No. 17, focuses on the planning and design of a new 1.5-million-gallon reservoir and upgraded water pipelines. Located in unincorporated Bell Canyon, California, the primary objective of this effort is to enhance system reliability and redundancy. The current scope is strictly limited to feasibility and planning studies, ensuring that no ground-disturbing activities occur during this phase. The project is classified under NAICS code 541330 and is subject to a Statutory Exemption under California Code of Regulations, title 14, article 18, section 15262, and Class 6, Section 15306, as it involves no significant environmental impact. It is important to note that the actual implementation and construction of the reservoir and pipelines will be handled as a separate project requiring its own CEQA analysis. Homer Arredondo, the Senior Engineering Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for this forecast.
