PG&E has requested a five-foot wide easement from the District for the installation of a deep well anode, rectifier, conduit and cable on District property.

This will also allow PG&E to access their equipment and any reasonably necessary installation, maintenance, and/or replacement of said facilities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
PG&E would not have the necessary land rights to its facilities installed on a portion of District property.
