• <br /> Attachment 4 <br /> The City's 2013 Recycled Water Feasibility Study recommended the development of a recycled <br /> water distribution system with the capability of replacing an estimated 607,400,000 gallons/year <br /> upon completion (Phase 1A and 1B2). In addition, to secure irrigation needs of the Callippe <br /> Preserve Golf Course and Open Space, the City's largest water customer, a "scalping plant" a <br /> small treatment facility capable of producing tertiary treated water, was considered a viable <br /> option due to the distance from the DSRSD water treatment facility. Such a scalping plant <br /> would also be able to serve future development of the Bemal Community Park area. <br /> The estimated funding necessary to complete these projects are as follows: <br /> • DSRSD Plant Expansion/Treatment Buy-in - $3,238,930 <br /> • Recommended Project Phase 1A- $11,600,000 <br /> • Recommended Project Phase 1B - $5,700,000 <br /> • Scalping Facility & pipe costs- $6,500,000 to $7,500,000 <br /> Currently, staff is in the process of beginning the environmental work necessary to achieve <br /> recycled water project funding consideration from the SWRCB, as well as completing the State <br /> grant/loan funding request application requirements. <br /> In light of the current drought, and understanding the need for maintaining conservation as a <br /> way of life to adapt to future limitations in water supply, the DAC is requested to further discuss: <br /> • Whether the City should reprioritize existing capital improvements in recycled <br /> water to move these projects forward at a faster pace? <br /> • Which pre-existing capital improvement projects should be reduced or removed <br /> from consideration to allocate funds for recycled water development? <br /> • Funding strategies to support the costs of the recycled water system build out. <br /> Community Participation: Water Waste Elimination & Landscaping for the <br /> Future <br /> Legal Authority <br /> As mentioned previously, updates to the City's Municipal Code regarding water conservation will <br /> come before City Council this March. In addition to the legal strategies necessary during <br /> various stages of water shortage, the inclusion of water waste prohibitions during normal supply <br /> years seek to further protect Pleasanton's water supply. The ability to redirect violators of water <br /> waste incidences, such as repetitive runoff from excessive irrigation, will provide an additional <br /> tool in the process of protecting our community's water supply. <br /> Outdoor Landscaping Guidelines <br /> Currently, State and City water conservation requirements for new and rehabilitated landscapes <br /> under specific size thresholds are difficult to monitor for compliance. Staff is near completion on <br /> a "City-Wide Landscaping Guidelines"that incorporates all California legal requirements of such <br /> Completion of Phase 1A and 1B as specified in the Pleasanton Recycled Water Feasibility Study <br /> represents an estimated 15%yearly reduction in potable water demand in Pleasanton. <br /> 2 <br /> Refer to City of Pleasanton Recycled Water Feasibility Study 2013,at PleasantonRecycledWater.com for <br /> complete project description. <br /> City of Pleasanton I City Wide Drought Action Strategies 6 <br />
