SUBJECT: Water Well 1C, Discovery Bay Area Project
The Board received the report of the M. J. Walford,
Public Works Director recommending approval for the installation
of Water Well 1C, Discovery Bay Area. Mr. Walford reported that
Water Well 1B has experienced sand infiltration problems and has

expected failure of Water Well 1B would reduce the available
water supply to the northern part of Discovery Bay. The Public
Works Director advised that the Centex Homes is planning to
construct 379 homes in the Discovery Bay area and will pay for
the installation of the new well.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that this matter is
CONTINUED to July 11, 1995, and DIRECTED staff to develop the
appropriate documentation for a change of conditions for Centex
Corporation for the Board's consideration on April 4, 1995.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Supervisor Torlakson is
AUTHORIZED to meet with the residents to facilitate a compromise
on the issues.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background (con't):
Centex Homes is planning to construct 379 homes in the Discovery Bay area. As a condition of
approval, Centex Homes is required to add a new well. The new well (Water Well 1 C) will be
installed in a triangular shaped median island at the intersection of Willow Lake Road and Willow
Lake Court. Water Well 1 C will become a part of the water source for the entire Discovery Bay
area and will replace existing Water Well 1 B. Water Well 1 B will be decommissioned once Water
Well 1 C is fully operational.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Installation of the new water well, as required by the conditions of approval for the Centex Homes
development, would not be implemented and the future quality of the Discovery Bay water well
system may be jeopardized.
