III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Zone 1 Sanitation District 15 provides potable water service to the residents of Beacon West
Subdivision from a well. This well is thirteen years old and the district, anticipating thef need for
a new well, had recently received Health Department approval for the new site. However, the
corrosion of the casing appears to be heavier than anticipated and has caused the casing to
collapse sooner than expected. This has resulted in polluted water being supplied to the
residents.
To relieve this emergency situation, the district will have to drill a new well at approximately the
same location, but about 50 feet from the original site.
Attached is an Initial Study of Environmental Significance documenting the statutory exemption
from CEQA due to the emergency nature of the work.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Zone 1 Sanitation District 15 will be unable to provide clean water service residents of Beacon
West.
