Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a Water Master Plan and why do we need one?
A. A Water Master Plan is a comprehensive planning document that evaluates the current status of the Town’s water system and supply, and determines if the system capacity and supply are sufficient to meet demands under a variety of conditions through the Town’s planned build-out. If the system is found to be insufficient, the Water Master Plan also provides recommendations for projects and actions to be implemented to meet projected future demands.
Q. If a pipeline or new facilities were being considered to be built near my home or business, will I be notified?
A. Yes, if you or your business is located near potential infrastructure you will be mailed a postcard during the environmental review process. Once a determination is made to proceed with a project you will again be notified. You can also sign up to receive email notifications at MasterPlanUpdates@DataInstincts.com if that is more convenient.
Q. What can I do if I have questions or concerns about a project that is under consideration?
A. Contact your Town Public Works Department at (707) 838-1006. You are also invited to sign up to receive email project updates by sending an email to MasterPlanUpdates@DataInstincts.com.
Q. Will the groundwater banking project affect my nearby well?
A. We do not yet know the specific zone of impacts that may result from implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Program. This information will be developed as the project moves further into design. All impacts will be considered under the State’s environmental review process prior to project installation, and the public will be provided opportunity to comment on the assessment of any potential impacts as part of that environmental review process.
