-2- <br />4. The ultimate answer for these apparent water quality problems would be the <br />creation of a community wide water system supplied with good quality water <br />obtained from a protected source. Such sources could be either treated <br />surface water or good quality ground water from perhaps deeper wells <br />drilled on—site or a few miles away: Such deeper wells will require prior <br />test holes to determine optimum location and/or design construction <br />requirements. <br />5. We are now beginning to administrate another State loan/grant program <br />since the voters of California approved Proposition 28 during the recent <br />election. To become grant eligible, the area in question would first have <br />to form a political entity�(a water district or some type of a county <br />maintenance service area). The maximum grant under this new program will <br />be $400,000 with larger amount loans also available. For details <br />regarding this program, please contact Bob Grimshaw in our Stockton <br />office. <br />In conclusion, this Department cannot get involved in trying to help solve <br />this problem until the area rn question first forms a community water system <br />serving 200 or more connections, or unless San Joaquin County requests our <br />assistance. Until the problems you describe are resolved, it seems to us that <br />any new perspective residents should be formally forewarned of these water <br />quality conditions. <br />Sincerely, <br />J <br />YUL,�I�c�Q — <br />Gunter A.
