Golden State Water Company is constructing a sound wall barrier in anticipation of drilling a new well and plant site at the northeast corner of Padua Avenue at Base Line Road in Claremont.

City Manager Adam Pirrie said Golden State, Claremont’s water supplier, does not require a permit from the city. The company did not respond to the Courier’s request for comment for this story.

The project — “Montana Lane – New Well and Plant Site” at gswater.com/claremont — involves crews installing a new well and water plant to improve the company’s distribution system, according to the company’s website description.

“Construction crews with drilling rig, excavators, backhoes, dump trucks, crew trucks and other hand tools will be digging and modifying equipment within the plant site,” reads a construction notice received by residents near the project. “Nearby streets will remain open to traffic during the construction period. The construction crews will make every effort to keep dust to a minimum. Noise barrier walls will be installed, but please expect an increased level of noise during the construction period.”

Work is expected to run through December from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Golden State said that intermittent 24-hour workdays will also take place during the construction period.
