Goleta Water District La Riata Booster Pump Station

The Goleta Water District La Riata Booster Pump Station project involves the construction of a new booster station located near the existing La Riata Reservoir in California. The scope of work includes the installation of a pitless pump station equipped with underground submersible pumps and associated 12-inch diameter pipelines on developed District property. This infrastructure project is designed to eliminate flow restrictions to the San Marcos Reservoir and Pressure Zone, thereby improving operational flexibility and increasing fire flows. By reducing reliance on undersized pipelines and the existing reservoir, the project aims to ensure reliable water delivery and prevent the dewatering of the pressure zone during critical events such as main breaks or wildfires. Managed by the Goleta Water District, the project is overseen by Engineering and Infrastructure Manager Daniel Brooks. Administrative and environmental compliance for the project includes the filing of necessary documentation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, as evidenced by the payment of required environmental filing fees. While specific contract values, pricing schedules, and detailed delivery timelines are not provided in the current documentation, the project is categorized under NAICS code 237110. The primary objective remains the enhancement of fire protection and water security for customers within the San Marcos Pressure Zone.
