The City of Crescent City supplies water to City and County customers which include Bertch Ocean View CSD, Elk Valley Rancheria, and Pelican Bay State Prison from a single groundwater extraction well near the Smith River within the Smith River Groundwater Plain. There are no adjacent or surrounding public water supply systems that can provide water to the region. The shallow nature of the well and proximity to the Smith River makes it vulnerable to surface water contaminants and drawdown during extreme drought conditions. The City of Crescent City is requesting technical assistance for the preparation of a feasibility study of a new well location in the Smith River Groundwater Basin.
