Solano Raw Water Intake Structure Improvements

The University of California, Davis is seeking to implement the Solano Raw Water Intake Structure Improvements project to renovate the existing raw water intake structure on the Putah South Canal near Winters, California. The primary objective is to replace end-of-life equipment and upgrade infrastructure to ensure continued operational efficiency. The scope of work includes the renovation or replacement of the exterior stairway, catwalk, railing, traveling water screen, and the flow meter and vault. Additionally, the project involves updating electrical and control systems, as well as valving, and improving equipment access through the installation of a new gravel driveway to the flow meter and vault. The project is located in Solano County, specifically near the intersection of Winters Road and Wolfskill Road, and is managed in coordination with the Solano County Water Agency. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorized as exempt under Class 1 for minor alterations to existing facilities, as it does not involve a significant expansion of use. Administrative oversight is led by Heather Davis, Director of Campus and Environmental Planning at UC Davis. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and was forecasted on July 9, 2026.
