Wildcat Pumping Plant project

Project details

East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is planning to construct a new pumping plant (Wildcat Pumping Plant) on EBMUD property at the intersection of Road 20 and El Portal Drive in the City of San Pablo. The Wildcat Pumping Plant will replace the current portable pumps with a permanent pumping plant facility and supporting electrical equipment. The site will be expanded to the south on EBMUD property to accommodate the new pumping plant building. The existing Road 20 Rate Control Station, located on the current site, will remain in operation.

The Wildcat Pumping Plant is being constructed to improve water service reliability to major portions of EBMUD’s service area serving customers from Oakland to Crockett. It will also be utilized for planned and unplanned outages of major water facilities (e.g., outages of EBMUD’s Orinda Water Treatment Plant and Claremont Tunnel), during a seismic emergency, as well as in the event of a drought to distribute treated Freeport water from EBMUD’s Sobrante Water Treatment Plant.

The Board of Directors approved the Project and adopted the MND on June 13, 2023.
