Quartz Hill Water District Production Well #18

The Quartz Hill Water District Production Well 18 project involves the construction of a new groundwater well and a water line of approximately 100 feet located in Lancaster, California. The project is designed to improve water quality and ensure regulatory compliance with the Division of Drinking Water by blending the new source with two existing wells. The scope of work includes site preparation, mobilization of drilling equipment, and the installation of well casings and screened intervals based on site-specific hydrogeologic conditions. The water line will be installed within the existing road right of way to connect the new well to the existing district infrastructure. To minimize environmental and community impact, the project will utilize standard best management practices, including the installation of portable sound walls around drilling equipment to reduce noise transmission to nearby residential and office buildings. The project is located at APN 3110-040-909 and is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237110. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA because the work occurs within previously disturbed areas and the pipeline is less than one mile in length. The primary objective is to provide water to the community that meets current drinking water standards and alleviates public health issues.
