From the Chico Enterprise-Record:

“An engineering company that specializes in environmental and water issues began testing wells Tuesday on and near a proposed bottled-water company site in Orland.

Malcom Pirnie Inc., out of Emeryville, is conducting the aquifer testing on behalf of Crystal Geyser Water Co. of Calistoga, which may locate a bottled-water plant and warehouse in Orland at the corner of County Roads 200 and N.

Crystal Geyser’s location to Orland depends on the results of the tests. Engineers have estimated if the project goes through, Crystal Geyser will draw 160 acre-feet of water yearly from the local aquifer to produce sparkling mineral water.

The testing is to determine the long-term sustainability of the test well and assess impacts a commercial supply well might have on nearby, privately owned wells and in Orland, according to a press release from Malcolm Pirnie.
