Willowside Mutual Water Company Operation of Well 4

The Willowside Mutual Water Company is authorized to bring Well 4 into operational service as a critical backup to Well 3, which is currently the sole source of domestic water for the system, while decommissioning Well 2 due to its unreliable performance and documented risks of backflow hazards. This action is essential to restore system redundancy and ensure uninterrupted water service, having been granted emergency approval under California Code of Regulations Title 14, sections 15269(b) and (c), based on public health necessity and the immediacy of the threat to service continuity. The project is located at 60 Oak Tree Drive, Santa Rosa, California, and is overseen by the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water, with Misha Anderson serving as the primary point of contact for technical and administrative coordination. Although the contract is classified as a forecast and lacks formal solicitation or funding identifiers, the State Water Board has exercised its authority under environmental statutes to expedite implementation without undergoing standard environmental review processes. There is no disclosed contract value, payment terms, invoicing system, or defined period of performance, and no standard federal acquisition regulations clauses, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, or representations from the offeror are included in the documentation. Responsibilities for inspection, acceptance, and compliance with technical standards are implied through regulatory oversight rather than explicitly allocated in contractual language. The State Water Resources Control Board acts as both the approving authority and the overseeing entity, while the Willowside Mutual Water Company is the operator and executor of the work. No contract type such as fixed-price or cost-reimbursement is specified, and no clause listings, certifications, or socioeconomic requirements are provided, reflecting the nature of this action as an emergency regulatory exemption rather than a competitive or fully codified federal procurement. Communication with the entity is maintained through designated administrative and technical contacts, and the project remains grounded in state-specific drinking water and public health imperatives.
