PL2302-01 O Cal Water Backup Well

California Water Service is proposing to construct a new water well on a 9,500 square foot vacant lot at the southeast corner of Feather River Boulevard and Bird Street in Oroville, California, with APN 012-111-001. The site is zoned Intensive Commercial C-2, which permits utility buildings and substations, making the proposed well a compliant use. The new well is intended to replace an existing well currently leased from Union Pacific Railroad, located near 4690 Baggett Marysville Road, as part of CWS’s effort to strengthen and modernize its distribution system. Water quality testing from a preliminary test well will determine whether PFOS treatment will be necessary for the new well, with final specifications pending confirmation of test results. The project is forecasted under PL2302-01 O Cal Water Backup Well and listed in the California Environmental Quality Act network with a posted date of June 23, 2026. Point of contact for the City of Oroville is City Planner Wes Ervin, while Alison Wong, P-4 Associate Engineer at California Water Service, serves as the secondary contact for project coordination.
