Project Description New water wells are required to meet the City's water supply needs as Morgan Hill grows. The new wells also provide the necessary reliability during drought conditions. To increase available water sources and to provide for more reliability during the drought, the City, during FY 14/15, accelerated the replacement of two poorly performing wells (Boys Ranch #2 and Jackson #3) and also accelerated the development of two new wells (E. Main Avenue and Walnut Grove). Drilling of the four new wells (Phase I) will be completed by the end of FY15/16. Phase II begins in FY 16/17 with the reconstruction of existing well buildings for Boys Ranch #2 and Jackson #3 well sites. Phase III also begins in FY 16/17 with the construction of new well buildings for the East Main Avenue Well and the Walnut Grove Well.

Future well projects are anticipated in the upcoming Water Master Plan.

Project Justification New wells are identified in the 2002 Water Master Plan and reflect the need for additional capacity as the community continues to develop and demand additional water resources. The 2002 Water Master Plan is updated in FY 15/16 and the need for future wells will be identified in order to meet new demand.
