Improvements at Pederson and Willow Lane Pump Stations

The proposed improvements at the pump stations will address the following scope of work:

• Pederson Pump Station (CI 5534)
  • Fire hardening at this site will include rebuilding the existing roofing structures to enhance protection against wildfires.
  • Installation of a permanent chemical boosting system.
  • Installation of chemical storage and canopy.
  • Site security enhancements by replacing the existing access gates and fencing.
  • Driveway widening improvements.
• Willow Lane Pump Station (CI 5757)
  • Fire hardening at this site will include rebuilding the existing roofing structures to enhance protection against wildfires.
  • Installation of a permanent chemical boosting system.
  • Installation of chemical storage and canopy.

The City’s Public Works Department manages the City’s water storage and distribution facilities consisting of 11 Calleguas turnouts (connections to the Calleguas Municipal Water District Supply), four hydropneumatic pump stations, 16 pump stations, 16 reservoirs, and two booster stations. Many of these sites need certain improvements to address enhanced wildfire resiliency, site drainage, accidental tank overflow containment, pump, and electrical equipment enclosures, fencing, and the addition of emergency generators and disinfection boosting stations.

A comprehensive citywide Water Storage Optimization Study, addressing water quality improvements within the City's water distribution network as a result of reduced demand and longer water age in the reservoirs after the 2022 drought. The study identified Pederson and Willow Lane Reservoirs as high-priority sites for the installation of a permanent disinfection boosting system to assist with water quality.
