New Cal Water drinking water wells at 716 Washington Boulevard
Cal Water will build two new wells and an equipment building on a vacant commercial lot to pump more local groundwater instead of buying imported water. The company says this cuts costs and keeps water flowing during droughts and disasters. Nearby apartment residents get noise buffers — sound enclosures, mature trees, and 24/7 monitoring — as conditions of approval.
Urban forest management and tree planting
West Coast Arborists presented an update on the city's urban forest inventory, noting over 11,000 trees and outlining plans to plant 500 new street and park trees along with distributing 250 fruit trees.
