To improve reliability and capacity, Bella Vista Water District chose to replace the Cow Creek II Pump Station. The station now has three variable speed pumps to maintain pressure and meet peak summer demands. The District staff was instrumental in providing construction observation and assistance during start-up.

The $339,000 pump station was completed in October of 2003 by Bobby Martin Construction. Tom Warnock was the Project Manager on this project.

The City of Redding Master Water Plan determined the need for a new 4.0-million-gallon reservoir downstream of the Buckeye Water Treatment Plant to improve the hydraulic capacity and provide storage in the Buckeye Pressure Zone. PACE provided design and construction management services, including environmental documentation through ENPLAN, for the tank and related facilities. CB&I Trusco Tank was the Contractor for this project with a contract cost of $1.2 million. Tom Warnock was Project Manager and Larry Boisclaire, former PACE Principal Engineer, was dragged out of retirement to provide construction observation services.

The Texas Springs area in the southeast corner of the Centerville Community Services District has a history of unreliable wells with poor quality water. PACE designed the recently completed extension of the District's system into this area, which includes 14,000 feet of water mains and a pressure reducing station. The project was primarily funded by an $820,000 grant/loan from USDA Rural Development. Abel Construction was the Contractor, and Sam Smith was the Project Manager.

In 2000, Siskiyou County hired PACE to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report to evaluate alternatives for acquisition and replacement of the aging and deteriorated Carrick Water System. The County formed Siskiyou County Service Area No. 5 to allow for acquisition of the system. This led to securing State Revolving Loan Fund and Rural Development financing for completing the $1.6 million project. The project consisted of construction of 13,800 feet of 6-inch through 10-inch water main, including replacement of the entire distribution system. In addition, a 90,000-gallon welded steel storage tank and a 400-gallon per minute well were constructed. Construction is expected to be complete in the spring of 2003 by Hayes and Sons Construction. Tom Warnock was the Project Manager and Randy Ranken was the resident Construction Observer.

The Gerber-Las Flores Community Services District has completed system improvements on the 80-year-old private water system that they purchased last year. An existing elevated tank, of 1914 vintage, which provided limited pressure and fire-suppression flows, was replaced with a new hydropneumatic tank system. As a result of adding one new well, upgrading two existing wells, and replacing about 19,000 feet of water mains, the fire flow was boosted from 300 to 1,000 GPM. A radio telemetry system was also installed to control the three wells and monitor three sewage lift stations. In addition to engineering work, PACE assisted with the Rural Development funding administration. Sam Smith was the Project Manager
