Financial Impact:
The cost of this well replacement will be covered by insurance after a deductible, as well as the County share being submittable under the California Disaster Assistance Act for Park Fire damages. The deductible cost will be paid by the department from budget unit 2042 account 53180, and other costs will be covered by Risk funds while awaiting insurance reimbursement.
Background Information:
The Tehama County Fire Department Paynes Creek Fire Station pump house was destroyed and the well was damaged beyond repair during the Park Fire in July and August of 2024. Well replacement is required to ensure continuity of fire department operations.

Pump and electrical component installation will be completed at a later date by different vendors.
Cost will be covered by insurance.
