The city of west sacramento city, located in northern california, will construct the well 22 rehabilitation project project

The City of West Sacramento, California will use a $3,941,468 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) to construct the Well 22 Rehabilitation Project. The project will provide a dependable, long-term water supply to the city's low-income North Area residents during drought conditions and serve as an additional backup water supply for the entire city in the event of a failure in the primary surface water system. This project is identified as necessary for enhancing the city's drought resilience in its 2023 Water Master Plan update and will help ensure reliable water service to the community. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2027.

The project will provide a dependable and longterm water supply in drought conditions to residents located in the citys lowincome north area and provide the entire city with an additional backup water supply for health and safety service should the citys primary surface water supply system break down. The citys north area residents have no reliable water supply in drought conditions that are becoming both more frequent and severe in the region. The 2023 water master plan update identifies the project as necessary for drought resiliency. Groundwater supplies are an essential part of the citys water asset portfolio and bringing well 22 back online is essential to achieving the goals within the citys the planning for drought resilience.
