The record therefore lacks substantial evidence to conclude that the <br />Project will be adequately served by City Fire services. The City must revise and <br />recirculate the DEIR to adequately analyze the Project’s fire safety services. <br /> <br />The DEIR also did not provide substantial evidence that the Project can be <br />adequately served by existing water supply. Rather, evidence in the record <br />demonstrates that the existing water supply from the local water district may not <br />be adequate to serve the Arroyo Lago Project, let alone the East Lakes Project. In <br />2022, the California Water Service Company Livermore District (“Cal Water”) <br />provided the County with a will-serve letter for the Arroyo Lago Project based on <br />the Project’s plan to drill wells on site and equip them with necessary water storage <br />and booster pumps.48 However, Cal Water retracted the will-serve letter in October <br />2023, explaining: <br /> <br />Cal Water has not evaluated the forecasted water system needs of this <br />development, the ability of Zone 7 to serve this new development under the <br />existing Cal Water contract, nor conducted a review of the water system <br />evaluation of this new development. As such, all claims in the documentation <br />regarding the availability of water for the development have not been <br />validated by Cal Water, the future water purveyor for this development.49 <br /> <br />The Cal Water letter stated that, as of October 2023, Cal Water was working <br />with USL Pleasanton Lakes, L.P. to develop a Letter of Agreement (“LOA”) to <br />provide water service to the Arroyo Lago Project, but that the LOA was still under <br /> <br />47 Email from Melinda Denis <br />Planning and Permit Center Manager, Deputy Director of Community Development, City of <br />Pleasanton to Aubrey Rose, Development Planning Division Alameda County Planning Department <br />re: PLN2022-00193 – Arroyo Largo Residential Project: A proposal to subdivide an existing <br />approximately 26.6-acre site, known as Parcel A of Parcel Map No. 11230, into a total of 204 parcels <br />consisting of 20 commonly owned parcels and 194 individually owned parcels for the construction of <br />194-unit single-family residential units.
