Well 31 -Test Well Project

The City of Pismo Beach is initiating the Well 31 Test Well Project to construct and test a temporary groundwater production well. Located on a vacant lot at the corner of Huston Street and Farrell Road in Grover Beach, San Luis Obispo County, the project aims to evaluate the feasibility of developing a municipal groundwater supply well to enhance the overall reliability of the municipal water supply. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 20, 2026. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15306, as it involves small exploratory facilities on a developed site without significant environmental resources. Scot Graham, the Community Development Director, serves as the primary point of contact for the initiative. Key deliverables include the physical construction and subsequent testing of the temporary well to determine its viability for long-term municipal use.
