Water Service

Water Services Initial Findings

Water Supply

 EBMUD Mokelumne River supplies vulnerable to drought  State Water Project supplies vulnerable to contaminants and seawater intrusion  SFPUC supplies vulnerable to earthquakes

Recycled Water Supply

  DSRSD and EBMUD JPA EBDA & Livermore

Water Demand

 156 gallons per capita daily   Inland areas use more Highest growth expected in Tri-Valley area  Demand increase from 264,439 acre-feet in 2005 to 286,514 by 2020

Service Adequacy

  Castlewood practices minimal conservation Water health and monitoring violations

Water Services Initial Findings (continued)

Facility Needs & Deficiencies

 SFPUC seismic upgrades & pipeline inspection    Pleasanton demineralization Infrastructure in Hayward islands New Zone 7 WTP in Altamont

Opportunities for Shared Facilities

 CCWD’s Los Vaqueros Reservoir  SFPUC - Desalination

Rate Restructuring & Financing Opportunities

 Increase water service & connection charges   Charge higher rates on high use levels to encourage conservation Implement excess use charges, demand-based rates or seasonal rates

Financing Constraints

 Temporary State-imposed reductions of property taxes

Water Services Initial Policy Options

SOI Options

 ACWD and Zone 7 SOI – Boundary Overlap  DSRSD – Doolan Road  EBMUD – Include northern cities in SOI

Government Structure Options

 Consolidation of ACWD and USD  Regionalization of various water services

Sewer Service

Wastewater Services Initial Findings

Service Outside Bounds

 CVSD – nursing facility, regional park and golf course      Hayward – incorporated islands and Hayward Hills OLSD – Floresta Gardens in San Leandro and portion of Hayward Livermore – Unincorporated areas, LLNL, Sandia National Lab, & Ruby Hill in Pleasanton Pleasanton – Castlewood CSA Berkeley – Perimeter connections in Oakland and Albany

Septic Areas

 Prohibited in Happy Valley, Sycamore, Alisal, and the Lomitas Vineyard   Allowed if sewer is not available Less than 1% of households

Service Demand

 Rapid growth: DSRSD, Livermore, USD   Capacity issues Conservation

Wastewater Services Initial Findings (continued)

Infrastructure Needs

 Collection Systems: Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, & Piedmont under RWQCB order   Disposal Capacity: Tri-Valley Treatment Capacity: OLSD/CVSD under RWQCB order

Opportunities for Shared Facilities

 EBMUD is interested in sharing excess treatment capacity

Service Adequacy

 DSRSD, Livermore and EBDA have exceeded effluent limitations  Most collection providers conduct CCTV inspection of sewer lines

Financing Opportunities

 Increase sewer service charges, connection fees, reserves, State revolving loans and bonded debt

Opportunities for Rate Restructuring

 Charge rates based on flow to promote conservation

Wastewater Services Initial Policy Options

Multiple SOI Options

 CVSD  OLSD

One SOI Option

 USD – Keep existing  Sewer Study CSA – Zero SOI

Government Structure Options

 Dissolve Livermore Amador Valley Sewer Study CSA  Consolidate OLSD and CVSD
