PROJECT INFORMATION FORM Please complete a unique Project Information Form for each project in the application. There are no character limits on specific questions but the Project Information Form as a whole may not exceed 10 pages. 1. Project Name: Washington Well Project 2. Local Project Sponsor (if different than grantee): Same as grantee 3. Please provide the latitude and longitude of the project site. For linear projects or those covering a large area, report the coordinates for a central point. If this information is confidential, it must be clearly labeled “confidential.” You can find the latitude and longitude easily using google maps. You can find instructions at the following link: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop. Latitude: 33°45'21 "N Longitude: 117°51'38"W 4. Please briefly describe the proposed project. The construction of the proposed Washington Well Project (Project) will address the low pressure deficiencies in the northeastern portion of the Low Zone on the south side of Interstate 5 between East 17th Street and East 1st Street, as identified in the 2017 Water Master Plan. Without this new well in the vicinity of the Elevated Tank, the water pressure in this area may continue to drop and could reach a level of service that is not adequate and will result in other consequences such as fire- fighting capacity. In addition to improving system reliability and flexibility, the Washington Well will add pumping capacity to the city system and enhance the City’s drought resiliency by reducing reliance on imported water. Similar to the City’s other wells, the Washington Well is proposed to be drilled to a depth of about 1,300 feet below ground surface and be installed with minimum of an 18-inch diameter casing. The design capacity of the well will be about 2,500 to 3,000 gpm (~4,000 AFY) well pump flow range; design head of about 400 to 450 feet; and the well pump will be driven by a 350 to 400 HP electric motor. Construction will include the City’s typical well to system mechanical piping layout, electrical equipment (e.g. include switchgear, control panels, variable frequency drive, telemetry, lighting, programming, etc.) and well discharge to waste piping for use during well testing and start up. The water produced from the proposed well will be disinfected using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) before it is discharged into the water distribution system. The disinfection equipment will be housed in a chemical facility building, separate from the well building. The City has standardized the utilization of On-Site Generation (OSG) at all of their well sites to produce a 0.8% solution of sodium hypochlorite for disinfection using salt, softened water and electricity. Additionally, the system components include a water softener, bulk storage tanks for salt and NaOCL solution, metering pumps, a brine saturator, an electrolytic cell, and an electric rectifier. The proposed well building will have three separate rooms, housing the well head
