currently 1,008,000 GPD in entitled commitments. No connection to wastewater is required at
the plant.
C. Planned Improvements:
New wells are being added to the system at Loma Linda, Edgehill, and Holly Hill that will add
capacity to the overall system. Also, additional ground storage reservoirs have been added to the
system that will improve the consistency of water pressure throughout the system.
Roadways/ Transportation Network
It is estimated that an average of 108,800 vehicles pass the link of US Highway 27 at
Cottonwood Drive. The highway is functioning at Level of Service “C” and should not change
as a result of this additional raw water well.
A. Estimated Demand:
The proposed expansion only involves an additional raw water well. It will not require additional
personnel to operate the facility once the improvement is constructed.

B. Available Capacity:
The one major affected transportation link that is tracked on the Roadway Network Database is
U.S. Highway 27. The proposed modification is merely an additional well with no expansion of
the operation of the use. Therefore, there should be no discernible impacts upon traffic capacity
as a result of this modifications approval.

C. Roadway Conditions:
The County does not track pavement conditions on State or private roadways because they are
not a local maintenance responsibility. However, using the PASER method, staff has determined
the pavement to be within above average thresholds on U.S. Highway 27 and I-4. Cottonwood
Drive is under County maintenance and rated in “Good” condition according to the Pavement
