What sites were under consideration for the new wells?
The Emergency Water Supply and Storage Project includes construction of up to three new wells. Ten potential well sites were evaluated in the EIR, including the four new reservoir sites and six other sites – Eleanor Pardee Park, Library/Community Center, Heritage Park, Middlefield, Downtown Parking Lots and California Avenue Parking Lots – were evaluated for the wells only. One new well will be located at the new El Camino Park reservoir site. In addition to the new wells, the EIR evaluated sites for rehabilitation of five existing City wells – Hale, Rinconada Park, Fernando, Peers Park and Matadero. The reservoir and well sites evaluated in the EIR are shown in Figure 2-2 of the Draft EIR (PDF).
