- Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation
NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 1 (DWR)
Implementation
BLR will install 250,000 gallons of water storage to complete its water distribution system. project will help ensure an uninterrupted and affordable water supply for the Blue Lake Rancheria. The water storage project, as a component of the larger Smart Water Grid project, will help insure an uninterrupted and affordable water supply for the BLR. The project will provide approximately 21.5-afy of storage for the BLR.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The Blue Lake Rancheria (BLR) has little control over its water supply. Domestic and Fire water is purchased from the City of Blue Lake, which receives water from the Humboldt Municipal Water District. The City of Blue Lake and all service areas north of the Mad River rely on a single main crossing the river, and BLR is at the end of the line, subject to any interruption in the system. Until recently, BLR was experiencing a major leak in its water system, losing up to 20,000 gal/day that it was being charged for by the City. This project will construct a bolted steel 250k gal water storage tank on BLR land. NEPA has been completed for the SWG project including storage tank.
