The project consists of replacing a 50-foot section of elevated wooden flume section on the Boardman Canal with a new steel substructure and half round metal flume that conveys raw water.
The project is located near the City of Colfax, along Ben Taylor Road.
The project will consist of replacing the existing 4” steel distribution water main within Cable Road, Alta Power House Road, and Timber (red line). The main has experienced several breaks throughout the years and is at the end of its useful life. The pipe that goes from Brown Road south east through several properties to Alta Bonnynook Road may be replaced by installing a main in Alta Power House Road (yellow line). All existing services will be replaced and/or reconnected.
A new water main (green) will also be installed along Cable Road beginning at the intersection of Cable Road and Timber Lane going east connecting to the existing 10” distribution main at the east end of Cable Road. A pressure reducing station (PRS) will be included to connect two distinct pressure zones. The purpose of the new line is to increase the reliability of service by providing redundancy to a portion of the system.
The Lake Alta Dam project is a multi-year project to address regulation changes since the two Lake Alta dams were installed. Originally constructed for mining activities in the 1850's, the dams have been in continuous service ever since. This facility is an important component of PCWA's water delivery system, and this project will ensure lake levels, vegetation, and drainage comply with current regulatory requirements. See below for document links for this project.
The Lake Alta Dam Project is located in the Town of Alta, near Bonny Nook Drive.
Consultants are currently gathering information on-site to be used to design improvements to the dams. Completion of design of improvements to the dams is anticipated in 2024. Any future construction work will proceed upon completion of design and regulatory approvals.
PCWA removed dead and dying trees in 2017 the vicinity of the dams to comply with direction from the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD). In winter of 2018/2019 PCWA collected bore samples from each of the dams. Additional samples collected from test pits and analyzed in 2021. Results from both sampling events will be used to support design of the necessary dam improvements..
A multi-year main replacement program to replace aging infrastructure has begun with Phase 1 and 2 on Midas Avenue. Phase 2 (Argonaut Road to Clover Valley Road) was completed in 2024 and Phase 1 (2nd Street to Argonaut Road) is expected to be completed with full pavement restoration by the end of the April 2025. All projects will consist of replacing the existing main, services, and fire hydrants. New meter boxes and new water meters will also be included in the project. In cooperation with the City of Rocklin, all roadways within the limits of work are planned to be resurfaced as part of the projects.
The multi-year project area is located in the City of Rocklin, and includes Midas Avenue, Argonaut Drive, Whitney Boulevard, Clover Valley Road and Sunset Boulevard.

Phase 2
Sunset Blvd. (Whitney to RR crossing. Not shown on map)
Phases 3 – 7
The project will consist of replacing six new vertical flocculators, installing a new automatic intake screen, and replacing a section of raw water influent piping.
The project is located at the Bowman Water Treatment Plant, located near the City of Auburn, off Christian Valley Road.
The project will consist of abandonment of existing backyard mains and installation of new mains in the streets. New meter boxes will be set near the back of sidewalks along the streets, and new service lines installed from the meter boxes to customer homes and reconnected.
Approximately 1,920 feet of new 8-inch water main will be installed in both Valley View and Ginger Drives, including 50 service connections, and 4 new hydrants.
