It calls for construction of 26 groundwater wells and about 30 miles of pipeline connecting the wells to Calleguas' distribution system. ``It's a very important project,'' said Don Kendall, general manager of Calleguas. ``When parts of California are experiencing drought, we won't.''

Construction should be complete by Oct. 31, Kendall said.
