Town of Fort Jones Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrades Project

The proposed wastewater treatment facility upgrades project is situated at the western edge of Fort Jones, California, within Siskiyou County, specifically in Township 43 North, Range 9 West, Sections 2 and 3 of the Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, as defined by the Fort Jones USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map. The project site encompasses four designated Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 024-040-080, 024-030-490, 055-241-010, and 055-241-020, with access facilitated via Serpa Lane off Scott River Road. The project scope includes the construction of a new wastewater treatment facility featuring an influent headworks and screening station, a series of functional ponds for aeration, percolation, evaporation, and storage, an effluent pump system, associated appurtenances, and necessary buildings. Additional infrastructure components consist of perimeter fencing, ancillary structures, and supporting utilities to ensure full operational capability. The project is being led by the Town of Fort Jones, with Joseph Hess serving as the primary point of contact in his role as Fire Chief and Town Administrator, and Bruce Grove acting as the consultant. The initiative is publicly forecasted with a posted date of July 8, 2026, and is identified through the CEQA Net system under project identifier 2026070268. While funding sources and specific procurement details are not outlined, the location and scope indicate a focused municipal effort to modernize and expand local wastewater treatment capacity to meet current and future community needs. The project is expected to enhance environmental compliance, improve public health infrastructure, and support sustainable water management practices in the region.
