What are the potential drought water supply projects?
PID is evaluating three options of drought supply to provide dry year water to supplement our reservoirs. The first is an agreement with PG&E that would provide water from the Miocene Canal. This would require pumps and pipes to bring the water to our current treatment plant. The second is wells in the valley with a pipeline up Neal Road. This option is currently being reviewed based on comments from the public. The Board may choose to not pursue this option and change the proposed Sphere of Influence. The last option would be water from Lake Oroville that would require pipes, tanks and a treatment plant or some form of agreement with Del Oro Water Company.
