The draft Water System Master Plan will be completed by the end of <br /> 2023. <br /> 3. Water Program Funding: In addition to supporting the ongoing operational <br /> and service costs of continuing to deliver clean, reliable water to customers, <br /> funding will be required for the following: <br /> ■ Reserve replenishment to recover from the previous drought emergency <br /> and potential increased water supply expenses due to the loss of the <br /> City's groundwater wells and increases in DSRSD-EBMUD Recycled <br /> Water Authority (DERWA) recycled water wholesale rates. The water rate <br /> increases proposed in this report address the funding needed for <br /> this effort. <br /> ■ Rehabilitation/treatment of groundwater wells and/or implementation of <br /> alternative water supply sources. The Water Supply Alternative Project will <br /> identify the needed capital project; a Phase 2 water rate study to be <br /> completed by either late 2024 or early 2025 will propose the funding <br /> needed for the selected project. <br /> ■ Enhanced capital infrastructure projects for regulatory compliance, service <br /> enhancements, and address repair and replacement. Staff will initiate an <br /> update of the water financial plan (and on a four-year cycle moving <br /> forward) that evaluates annual costs to meet expected operational service <br /> levels and to implement a 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This <br /> project will be completed in early 2024. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> Norm Dorais Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin <br /> Interim Director of Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Public Works <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
