Housing Constraints City of Pleasanton | C-45 • Constructing a regional PFAS treatment facility located at City’s Operations Service Center that can treat both City and Zone 7 groundwater; and • Purchasing 100 percent of water from Zone 7 at the wholesale water rate. While the City faces considerable challenges around water supply, it is proactively working to seek solutions to address them and is committed to allocating funding for the necessary measures and improvements to ensure adequate supply for existing and future development. This Housing Element contains Programs 4.4 and 4.5 to ensure water supply (existing and planned) is sufficient to accommodate the RHNA and support the development of the City’s sites inventory described in Appendix B (Sites Inventory & Methodology). Sewer The City of Pleasanton owns and maintains the pipelines, manholes, force mains, pump stations, and siphons in the local sewer collection system within the City’s limits. Most of the City’s existing collection system is in satisfactory condition and operates in accordance with acceptable industry standards for conveyance of average dry weather flows, peak hourly dry weather flows, and peak wet weather flows during a generally acceptable storm event. The Pleasanton General Plan adopted in 2009 identified the need for future improvements to the existing local collection and pumping system. These improvements included the construction of new or parallel sewers; diversion structures; and modifications, improvements, or complete reconstruction of various pump stations. The General Plan also provides that maintaining and enhancing the existing local sewer collection system will be funded as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and new sewer lines will be funded and constructed by new development as it occurs. The City’s sewer capacity is sufficient to serve the housing sites identified in Appendix B (Sites Inventory & Methodology); however, under Program 4.4 the City will ensure future sewer infrastructure remains adequate. Dublin-San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) provides Pleasanton’s sewage treatment services. Disposal of treated effluent from DSRSD’s plant to the San Francisco Bay is provided by means of disposal lines managed by LAVWMA (Livermore Amador Valley Water Management Agency), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) between the City of Pleasanton, the City of Livermore, and DSRSD. A 2017 capacity evaluation of the DSRSD showed that the DSRSD Wastewater Treatment Plant had spare capacity. Recent recycled water projects and conservation efforts for reuse of wastewater within the Tri-Valley service area have helped to reduce impacts on treatment capacity. There are several known deficiencies within the sanitary sewer system in need of improvement. These improvements are most likely to be undertaken as CIP projects or as part of future development. Certain housing sites identified in the sites inventory will require expansions and/or upsizing to the local sewer collection system to support housing development. This is further discussed in Appendix B (Sites Inventory and Methodology).
