<br />63 <br />Commission, Floodplain Administrator, and Road Commissioner. In 2019, Mr. Lanphier joined the <br />leadership team in the City of Livermore as the Director of Public Works. Mr. Lanphier currently <br />oversees over 100 staff, and four divisions including Water Resources, Airport, Maintenance and <br />Environmental. <br /> <br />Wastewater Facilities <br /> <br />Livermore’s Water Resources Division (“LWRD”) is responsible for implementing and <br />managing Livermore’s Sewer System. The Sewer System treats all of the wastewater and sewage <br />in Livermore at its Livermore Water Resources Plant (“LWRP”) and then sends the treated <br />wastewater (which is not reclaimed for reuse) to the LAVWMA pipeline for transmission to EBDA <br />for discharge into the San Francisco Bay. See “THE LIVERMORE-AMADOR VALLEY WATER <br />MANAGEMENT AGENCY”. <br /> <br />LWRD employs 35 people in the operation and maintenance of the LWRP, which has the <br />processing capacity to treat 8.5 mgd of wastewater and sewage. See Table 20, below, for the <br />historical volume of wastewater pumped to the LWRP. Livermore expects to expand the capacity <br />of the LWRP to accommodate the build-out of the Livermore General Plan (and is permitted under <br />its NPDES permit to do so, see “-Wastewater Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations” below) <br />in the future, but has no immediate plans to do so based on current levels of development in <br />Livermore. <br /> <br />LWRD provides primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment processes common to most <br />modern wastewater treatment facilities, and recycles more than 40% of its flow during peak <br />irrigation season. <br /> <br />Wastewater Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations <br /> <br />Livermore’s Sewer System operates under an NPDES permit from RWQCB. This permit <br />provides for treatment and disposal of up to 8.5 mgd average dry weather flow (12.4 mgd peak <br />wet weather flow) of treated wastewater through the LAVWMA facilities and EBDA pipeline and <br />into San Francisco Bay. The NPDES permit would allow an expansion to 11.1 mgd average dry <br />weather flow. There have been no recent compliance issues with respect to this permit. <br /> <br />Wastewater Service Area and Customers <br /> <br />The area served by the Sewer System consists of approximately 14,500 net acres of <br />sewered area, including approximately 39,024 DUEs. The population of Livermore’s Sewer <br />System service area is currently estimated to be 91,216 as of January 1, 2021, with total <br />connections currently at 33,472. <br />
