BACKGROUND DSRSD and the City entered into the Third Supplemental Agreement to the Wastewater Disposal Service Agreement on November 19, 2002. The Third Supplemental Agreement pertains to the provision of recycled water and contains three key elements: 1)establishes the City's rights to all secondary effluent attributable to the City's sewerage service area for the City's use for the production of recycled water; 2)City's and DSRSD's intent to plan for production of additional recycled water from the regional treatment plant and to make recycled water in excess of the City's or DSRSD's needs available for use by third parties; and 3)allows the DSRSD to utilize up to 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of the City's secondary effluent to meet the requirements of the Dublin San Ramon Services District and East Bay Municipal Utility District Recycled Water Association's (DERWA) project needs through December 31, 2009. The Fourth Supplemental Agreement will not change any of the City's rights established under the Third Supplemental Agreement and only extends for two years to December 31, 2011, the utilization of its excess effluent by a third party (DERWA), as agreed in the Third Supplemental Agreement. Staff along with DSRSD staff presented this item to the DSRSD /Pleasanton Liaison Committee (Liaison Committee) and received a unanimous support by the committee to recommend approval of the Fourth Supplemental Agreement by their respective legislative bodies. Council members Thorne and McGovern are the Pleasanton representatives on the Liaison Committee. DISCUSSION The City is currently preparing environmental documents to provide for the use of recycled water within the City and specifically for the Staples Ranch project. Staff has also been in discussions with DSRSD regarding ways that the City can bring recycled water to its customers. However, while discussions are progressing well, additional information is required before staff can bring forth for the Council's consideration a recycled water program. In light of this, DSRSD and City staff thought it was prudent to extend the current agreement (the Third Supplemental Agreement) by two years to December 31, 2011. Currently DSRSD uses approximately 1.5mgd of the authorized 2.5mgd of the City's secondary effluent for the DERWA project.
