Sewer Issues: Old failing plant and lines. Groundwater contamination.
Potential Solutions: Transmission line, water blending station & storage - The rural, low-income, farmworker community of Buttonwillow (Median Household Income of $28,370) must replace a community well that is contaminated with Iron, Manganese, TDS and Conductivity above the State and Federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) Consolidation is not possible due to the 8 or 10 mile distance to the nearest large water supplier. The most cost effective solution is to drill a new +/- 400 foot deep well with 18 inch casing, a pump, electrical system and connection to the water system. The contaminated well will then be destroyed. The District will need to obtain a new well site for the well. - REPLACE 4" LINES WITH 8" LINES AND LOOP THE SYSTEM. OTHER - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION - The District proposes to install 1,300 feet of 10 inch water line to supply water from the Districts' clean wells (#2 and #3) to blend with well #4's Arsenic contaminated water at wellsite #4. A blending station and a 0.5 MG storage tank will be installed to store the blended water at wellsite #4. The water will be blended during offpeak hours and stored in the new 0.5 MG bolted steel ground storage tank. Water will be supplied back into the distribution system during peak hours from a new booster pump station, through the new 10 inch main. Blending will allow the District to meet Safe Drinking Water Standards without the expensive operating costs of Arsenic treatment or the high construction costs of drilling a new well.
