The new pumping station will enable these systems to receive purchased water from the City of Sacramento.
The area currently relies almost solely on local groundwater to supply a population of approximately 56 000. Once completed, the US$3.2 million pumping station will be able to pump more than 3 million gallons of water per day, which is about 35% of the area’s average daily use.
The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
