<br />Bridle Creek residential projects. The Preserve tank will also serve several other smaller residential <br />projects in the Dublin Canyon Road area and eliminate the need for a pump-only (hydro pneumatic) <br />water system to the Canyon Meadows development. These facilities greatly improve the safety and <br />reliability of this system and bring this area into compliance with the City's Water Master Plan <br />standards. The new "Lund and Golf Course Tanks" constructed as part of the Bridle Creek and <br />CalIippe Preserve Golf Course development in the southeast portion of the City will aid in overall <br />City storage. <br /> <br />With further build-out of the Lower Zone, the existing excess storage will gradually diminish, until <br />approximately the year 2010 when the Lower Zone will require additional storage. Current <br />projections indicate that General Plan build out will require an additional 2-3 million gallons of <br />storage. The City will provide additional storage in an expanded Tassajara Reservoir or in a <br />separate storage reservoir at another location. <br /> <br />During normal year peak periods, Pleasanton can currently rely, in total, on a delivery or supply <br />capacity of approximately 34.4 mgd through the current infrastructure system (25.4-mgd from Zone <br />7 and 9.0 mgd from the City's wells). Under normal water supply conditions, the City has <br />sufficient water supply to deliver to its users. Recent planned improvements to the City and Zone <br />7's delivery system will ensure that ample water supplies meet maximum-day demands. Thus <br />through 2010, the City can meet water demands in accordance with its Water System Master Plan <br />standards. <br /> <br />STORMW ATER FACILITIES <br /> <br />Stormwater Drainage <br /> <br />The local storm drainage system consists of mostly underground pipes, local channels, and natural <br />swales in hillside areas. These facilities carry water runoff within the drainage basin to the flood- <br />control channels (known locally as arroyos). Developers of new projects must install adequately- <br />sized storm drains to connect to the City's existing underground storm-drain network. The City <br />requires that hillside projects protect natural drainage courses and install silt basins / retention <br />ponds for controlling pollutants and the runoff-flow rate. The City has required new developments <br />to size their storm drains to accommodate major rainfalls. <br /> <br />To accommodate future buiIdout of the Planning Area, the City will continue to require that new <br />developments install appropriately-sized storm drains. As identified and budgeted in the City's <br />Capital hnprovement Program, the City has scheduled improvements in periodic increments to <br />older portions of the storm-drain network. <br /> <br />Flood Control <br /> <br />Responsibility for flood control within the Planning area lies with Zone 7 of the Alameda County <br />Flood Control and Water Conservation District. Zone 7 maintains improved flood-control channels <br />and installs new drainage channels. Under Zone 7 permits, development projects have improved <br />most of these channels, the arroyos, over the last 20 years. The unchannelized Arroyo de la <br />Laguna, south of Bernal Avenue, remains a distinct riparian corridor. hnprovements to this <br /> <br />VI-14 <br />
