Operation of Courage to Change Well 2 - Water Supply Permit Amendment (Project)

The State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water has issued a domestic water supply permit amendment for the operation of Well 2 and two 85-gallon pressure tanks at the Courage to Change facility located at 1230 North Anderson Road in Exeter, California. Under this project, Well 2 will replace Well 1 as the primary drinking water source for the facility, while Well 1 will be transitioned to standby status to be utilized specifically for irrigation and fire flow. The project is categorized under NAICS code 221310 and is officially classified as a categorical exemption under Class 1 for Existing Facilities per California Code of Regulations section 15301. This exemption is granted because the project involves the operation of an existing water system with negligible expansion of use and does not trigger any exceptions under CEQA guidelines. The permit amendment was issued on July 1, 2026, with the project situated within Tulare County.
