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.
