Citizens Well 8 and El Dorado Well 1

The City of Long Beach is advancing two new potable water wells—Citizens Well 8 and El Dorado Well 1—as part of its municipal water supply infrastructure initiative. The wells will be drilled adjacent to existing facilities at two specific locations within Long Beach: the northwest corner of E Wardlow Rd. and Clark Ave. in El Dorado Park West, and near the Skylinks at Long Beach golf course. The project is classified as a ministerial action under California's environmental regulations, exempting it from discretionary review under CEQA, and is governed by compliance with Title 22, Section 64560 of the California Code of Regulations, which outlines state waterworks standards for well construction and operation. The State Water Resources Control Board conducted a regulatory review and granted conformity approval, affirming compliance with established technical and safety benchmarks without requiring further discretionary action. Administrative oversight is primarily managed by the City of Long Beach Utilities Department, with coordination through the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water. Key contacts include Maryanne Cronin of the City’s Zoning Administration and Adrian Dela Calzada of the State Water Board, though formal contracting roles such as COR or COTR are not designated. No contractual pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, or federal acquisition regulations are applicable; this is a state-regulated infrastructure project with no solicitation, award evaluation, or federal procurement elements documented. The project is not tied to any contract value estimate, invoice procedures, or packaging specifications, and no offeror certifications, socioeconomic designations, or unique entity identifiers are included. The issuance date of the notice is October 21, 2025, following approval on October 20, 2025, indicating the project is in an early implementation phase, with no formal contract execution details provided.
