Goleta Water District Corona Reservoir Rehabilitation

The Goleta Water District is undertaking the rehabilitation of the Corona Reservoir, a critical component of its water distribution system, to address structural deterioration and ensure continued reliable water service, particularly during pipeline outages. The work scope includes removing the aging interior liner, replacing joint sealant, repairing concrete cracking and spalling, installing a new entry ladder, and mitigating a suspected minor floor leak—all confined to the existing facility without any expansion. The project is categorized as exempt under CEQA Section 15301(d) for the rehabilitation of deteriorated existing facilities, eliminating the need for extensive environmental review while still requiring compliance with state filing obligations such as a Notice of Exemption and submission to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. All activities are to be performed on-site at the Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant in Santa Barbara County, California. While the project is administratively approved and funded through local mechanisms, no federal contract structure, funding source, or FAR-compliant procurement details are present; instead, the process follows state environmental and administrative protocols. Payment for regulatory filings is directed to county and state agencies, and formal contract pricing, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or technical specifications beyond the scope of work are not defined in the available documentation. Primary point of contact for the project is Daniel Brooks, Engineering and Infrastructure Manager, who oversees coordination and communication related to the effort.
