2008 Water System Engineer's Report

Document Description: The Engineer's Report identifies a Capital Improvement Program (CIP), for system-side implementation needed to deliver safe and reliable water, which will effectively meet water demand requirements under both existing and future developed conditions. The Programs, as analyzed through this environmental review process, is the collection of CIP projects and programs proposed in the Engineer's Report. Specifically, the following 3 primary improvement types, based on improvement frequency, are identified in the Engineer's Report as being needed to meet: Major Project Improvements - These projects will occur once and are associated with large joint ventures with other agencies or cities (e.g., City-Side Downstream Improvements related to the Regional Surface Water Supply Project (RSWSP)). Project Improvements: These projects will occur once or very infrequently (e.g., construction of a Corporation Yard). Program Improvements: These program related projects will occur more periodically and over time (e.g., updating the Water Master Plan). Most Major Project, Project, and Program Improvements proposed in the Engineer's Report primarily relate to storage tanks, groundwater wells, and pipelines, but also include recommendations for future planning efforts, such as updates to the City's groundwater, urban water, or water supply management plans.
