29 Service Area LAVWMA provides wastewater disposal to a service area, which includes the wastewater service areas of DSRSD, Pleasanton and Livermore. Under the Joint Powers Agreement, Members may provide wastewater service only to those areas that now, or in the future, are incorporated within the city limits of Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin. DSRSD may provide service to the area within the city limits of San Ramon that DSRSD served as of September 10, 1997, and any area in the Specific Plan for Westside San Ramon (adopted in November 1989) that is subsequently incorporated into the City of San Ramon. DSRSD may also provide service to Camp Parks for governmental uses. Livermore may continue to provide service to the Ruby Hill subdivision in Pleasanton. In addition, the Members may continue to serve unincorporated areas currently served. Furthermore, Livermore may provide wastewater treatment and disposal service to approved uses in the unincorporated Agricultural Enhancement/Rural Management Zone (Zone B), which may be established within the planning area for the North Livermore General Plan Amendment adopted by the Livermore City Council on October 11, 1993, and to the Veterans Administration Hospital property for governmental uses. In the interest of public health and safety, Members may also provide service to unincorporated properties adjoining a city, unless the cumulative amount of proposed service in any one contiguous unincorporated geographic area exceeds 10 residential connections or the equivalent, in which case such service would require unanimous approval of the LAVWMA Board. Except as described above, no Member may provide service to an unincorporated area of Alameda County south of Interstate 580 or to the planning area for the North Livermore General Plan Amendment (except for certain minor exceptions) without unanimous vote of the LAVWMA Board. LAVWMA Budget General. Pursuant to the Joint Powers Agreement, each Member is required to provide its share of LAVWMA’s annual operating budget including debt service and replacement, fixed operating costs, and variable costs, with cash advances made on a quarterly basis. These obligations are also provided for under the Sewer Service Contract. See “SECURITY FOR THE 2021 BONDS - Sewer Service Contract.”  Debt service and replacement reserve accrual allocations are based on each Member’s capacity rights in sole-use, dual-use, and joint-use facilities.  Operating and maintenance costs are ongoing expenditures for repair, replacement and other costs incurred upon completion of construction of facilities so that the facility can continue to perform the function for which it was designed.  Fixed operating costs are a function of the facilities constructed and allocations are based on each Member’s joint-use PWWF capacity rights and include all operation and maintenance costs except for variable costs.  Variable operating costs are a function of actual flows discharged to LAVWMA and include costs of chemicals and power. Variable costs are allocated to each Member based on estimated flows. At the end of each fiscal year and after approval of an audit, cash advances based on estimates of the preceding year will be reconciled with actual costs and actual flows. Surpluses
