BACKGROUND The Castlewood Service Area (CSA) consists of 587 acres in the unincorporated area of Alameda County located southwest of the City of Pleasanton along the Arroyo de la Laguna. The CSA encompasses approximately 190 single family residences and the Castlewood Country Club. The CSA's sole source of water is provided by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission via its Pleasanton Well Field and supply facilities. The CSA water system starts at SFPUC's Valley Reservoir. From there, the CSA water system splits into the Castlewood Country Club's irrigation system and the domestic water system. Under the current agreement, the City is not responsible for operation and maintenance of the irrigation system but is responsible for operation and maintenance of the domestic system. The domestic system consists of three storage tanks, two pumps stations, and one pressure regulating station. The sanitary sewer system that serves the CSA consists of approximately 28,000 feet of 6-inch and 8-inch sewage collection piping. The sewage collection piping drains into two main pipelines that terminate at a pump station on Foothill Road where it is then pumped to the Dublin-San Ramon Services District wastewater treatment plant. Under the current agreement, the City is responsible for operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system within the CSA and the pump station. DISCUSSION Under the current agreement, City services can be broken into two main categories. The first category is routine monthly services for which the City charges the County a flat monthly fee. These services are defined in Exhibit A of the Agreement and include routine operation and maintenance services, billing services, and general customer services. The second category is extraordinary maintenance projects which are defined as maintenance projects that cost more than $1,000 per incident to perform. Pump repairs and main break repairs are examples of extraordinary maintenance projects. Extraordinary maintenance projects are not covered by the monthly flat fee and instead are reimbursed by the County on a per incident basis. The County estimates an additional $275,000 of extraordinary maintenance projects to be authorized during the term of this agreement.
