This agreement provides funding to citrus heights water district to implement its project to build a new ASR (aquifer storage and recovery) well along highland avenue in citrus heights, CA as directed in the 2023 consolidated appropriations act. The well will directly provide water to the water district and indirectly to the entire region for typical municipal and industrial uses. The well will enhance system redundancy and reduce strain on local water resources (may forego up to 1000 AFY of surface water supplies). This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $1,500,000.00. Activities:the activities to be performed are focused on the construction of a new well pump station, the perimeter fencing and the new access drive/gate. The area will need to be cleared and graded, but existing trees adjacent to the property will be retained. The activities will specifically include: construction of foundations, slabs and structures for the pump pedestal, motor control center and electric utility pad; installation of underground primary and secondary electrical conduits and conductors from the transformer pad to the motor control center; installation of perimeter and interior fencing. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables are a new ASR well (aquifer storage and recovery) on highland avenue which will allow surface water to get pumped into groundwater supplies for storage. The well will provide an additional, reliable water supply source to enhance redundancy at the local level and help preserve water resources for greater region. Project will directly benefit the citrus heights water district and allow them to forgo up to 1000 AFY of surface water supplies. This will indirectly supply water and benefit the larger region and community for municipal and industrial water users.
