The facilities, distributed across approximately 65 square miles, serve over 3,250 acres of citrus groves, seven nurseries, two ferneries, three golf courses, a sand mine, two landfills, several residential communities, and eight rapid infiltration basin (RIB) sites that help replenish the regional drinking water aquifer.
We developed a customized database for all water resources operational data collected at the Water Conserv II facilities; directed RIB loading schedules; refined empirical load/response relationships of individual RIBs, especially in extreme drought and sustained wet weather conditions; directed the groundwater quality sampling program; assessed groundwater quality trends at RIB monitor wells; provided design and construction oversight of new monitor wells; extended baseline groundwater quality monitoring on six proposed expansion RIB sites; and provided strategic planning for expansion of the Water Conserv II system.
We also served as the prime design-build contractor to design, permit and construct new supplemental water supply wells; and provided design services and construction support for transmission main realignments, distribution system extensions, and RIB site additions and expansions.
