Necessary water release for well maintenance
Monte Vista Water District will be discharging water from a groundwater production on Thursday.
The discharge will be on Arrow Highway, between Benson Avenue and Vernon avenues in Montclair.
This water discharge is a necessary task for maintenance and to fulfill water quality large amounts of water will flow from the well location to Vernon Avenue onto Moreno Street and be routed to storm drains where it will be directed into Brooks Basin on Brooks Avenue.
The discharged water will then percolate back into the ground to be used for future water supply.
Multiple discharges may be necessary depending on results of water quality testing following each flushing.
A traffic plan will be instituted that will assist in controlling the flow of water on the affected streets.
Information: 909-624-0035.
If true this could be a pretty smart idea because Monte vista water would be able to move the water from one basin to another, however I have a pretty good inclination that a large amount of this water is being flushed out to sea, which disturbs me in more ways that one. For example if it were being sent down stream so to speak, instead of wasting the water couldn't we re-use it to water parks, city/ county planters and so forth, as opposed to using good city water for that? Just trowing this out there, maybe someone smart will catch on.
