Wilson Acres Mutual Water Company Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project

The Wilson Acres Mutual Water Company Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project in Tehama County, California, is designed to replace failing and aging water infrastructure to ensure the delivery of safe and reliable water to customers. The scope of work involves replacing approximately 3,200 feet of existing water mains with new 6-inch polyvinyl chloride PVC mains and replacing 32 existing water service lines. Additionally, the project includes the installation of water meters with backflow preventors at 32 residences, the construction of a concrete masonry unit block building around the well head, and the upgrade of electrical equipment, including well pumps, flow meters, and conduits. To meet maximum day demand, an existing 900-gallon hydropneumatic tank will be replaced with a new 13,000-gallon tank, and an emergency standby generator with an automatic transfer switch will be installed. The project will be executed within an unincorporated area of Tehama County, specifically on district-owned property and within the paved road rights-of-way of Alma Avenue, Fern Avenue, Citrus Road, and Orange Grove Road. All work is to be completed in previously disturbed areas with no tree removal, and any impacted paved roads must be repaved following the installation of the water main improvements. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237110 and is managed by the Tehama County Environmental Health Department. It has been granted categorical exemptions under California CEQA Guidelines, indicating that the improvements are minor alterations and replacements that will not result in significant environmental impacts.
