Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Staff recommends Council approve an agreement with Carollo Engineers to perform Phase 1 - Conceptual Design, Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Permitting, and Public Outreach activities for a future expansion of the SRWTP. The conceptual design effort will culminate in a Basis of Design Report (BODR) and a Project Description that will be used as the basis for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR), regulatory permits, and a public outreach plan.
The availability of surface water treatment capacity for existing and future customer demand is forecasted to reach its limits within approximately 15 years, which is the same timeline necessary to fully plan, permit, design, and construct the necessary improvements. These forecasts consider city growth estimated in the General Plan, conservation performance, sustainable groundwater management activities, and the various rules governing water diversions from the rivers.
