Document Description
The City of Fresno is reorganizing existing utility services currently provided by the Fresno Department of Public Utilities (DPU). Through this reorganization, the City proposes transferring the provision of existing water, wastewater, and solid waste services from DPU to a new municipal water district (MWD). The water, wastewater, and solid waste service areas for the new MWD would not change from existing water, wastewater, and solid waste service areas. No other activities are planned, and no additional services or service areas are currently being considered as part of this project. No activities having new, direct physical impacts on the environment are planned. The City is proposing this reorganization to achieve certain administrative and cost of service efficiencies not currently available under the current organization supporting the provision of these services. The plan of service for effecting this reorganization is expacted to be presented to the Fresno County Local Agency Formation Commission in the fall of 2007, followed by a public referendum in the summer of 2008, and implementation by 2009.
