<br />47 | City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element <br />3. Conduct a water distribution system capacity analysis to ensure future distribution <br />system needs, including any necessary upgrades and new facilities to accommodate <br />the 6th Cycle RHNA, and on the basis of that study, identify and prioritize capital <br />improvement projects and funding needs. <br />4. Continue to assess and plan for adequate water supply, including completion of <br />groundwater treatment improvements to address known contaminants in City- <br />operated wells; completion of water supply and operational plan updates, undertaking <br />required updates to the City’s Urban Water Management Plan; working with water <br />suppliers including Zone 7 to ensure adequate supplies; and implementation of the <br />City’s recycled water and water conservation programs (see Program 4.5, below). <br />5. Identify funding mechanisms for infrastructure improvements contained in the General <br />Plan to accommodate projected housing growth. The City will continue to make <br />infrastructure improvements on an as-needed basis, and based on the priorities <br />established in the above-referenced water and sewer capacity and needs <br />assessments, to accommodate existing and planned growth, typically funded through <br />the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), in turn funded by the General Fund and <br />developer impact fees and connection fees. <br />• Responsible Agency: Operation Services Department, Planning Division <br />• Time Period: Complete a sewer/wastewater and water system capacity analysis and adopt <br />written policies and procedures that grant sewer and water hookups priority (September <br />2023); review Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and make affirmative changes by next <br />CIP adoption (August 2023) <br />• Funding Source: Capital Improvement Program Budget, Sewer Enterprise Fund, Housing <br />Grants, Planning Division Budget <br />• Quantified Objective: Implement seven projects, with projects and priority to be <br />established in the facilities planning process, during the Housing Element planning period <br />• Geographic Targeting: Aim to implement at least two infrastructure projects in the <br />Downtown area, which is an area of relatively lower income households, to facilitate infill <br />housing development <br /> <br />Program 4.5 <br />The City will take action to ensure adequate water supply to serve the needs of existing and future <br />residents resulting from the additional housing capacity described in this Housing Element. As <br />stated in Appendix C (Housing Constraints), this will include completion of a comprehensive study <br />(underway) including analysis of near-term replacement of water supply impacted by PFAS <br />contamination of City wells, and longer-term supply enhancements to accommodate future growth, <br />including the following potential strategies. The suite of strategies under consideration may <br />include:
