WHEREAS, California is in its fourth year of an unprecedented drought and the
City of Bakersfield has limited surface water supplies available to provide water to
its domestic water service area customers; and
WHEREAS, due to the drought and lack of surface water supplies, the City
must ensure that its domestic water wells are operational to provide pumped
groundwater to its customers to maintain adequate pressures and quantities of
potable water; and
WHEREAS, the City operated domestic water well CBK 41 regularly until its
arsenic levels exceeded the State's maximum contaminant level, and thus the well
had to be taken out of service in 2009; and
WHEREAS, the City has a need to reinstate the operation of CBK 41 by
summer to provide water to the City's service area in the vicinity of Brimhall Road
and Jewetta Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City must maintain adequate pressure and water supplies to
avoid health and safety issues for its domestic water system customers; and
WHEREAS, City staff has worked with the City domestic water system's
operation and maintenance contractor, Cal Water, and Severn Trent Services to
determine an arsenic treatment system that could be installed at CBK 41 for
removal of arsenic; and
WHEREAS, the City will purchase the arsenic treatment media and equipment
from Severn Trent Services to be installed at the CBK 41 wellsite.
