The potential for drought conditions in the western United States requires efforts by cities, counties, and water agencies to continue to provide reliable and safe water supplies.
Part of our water supply portfolio includes a growing groundwater program. We have groundwater wells located throughout Roseville at critical locations.
Work is underway to construct more wells in Roseville that extract water for drinking water purposes when surface water supplies become limited. With the use of our groundwater wells, we can complement surface water resources from Folsom Lake and maintain water supply reliability regardless of dry or drought conditions.
Existing well house
The adjacent photo depicts is a typical well house constructed near a park. The new well buildings will look similar and include landscape features to screen and soften the building or well yard attributes. Once the well is operational, you likely won't notice that they're operating. 
Our design process typically includes a noise study to ensure recommendations from that study are incorporated into the final design. Our groundwater pump stations are fitted with panels for dampening and absorbing sound inside the building. And the staff is onsite during regular business hours and occasionally after hours. Newer well designs also include perimeter walls around the well building to match the existing area improvements and typically incorporate landscape plantings to soften the look.
