HomeMy WebLinkAbout01-19-2016 Item 09 - Approval of Final 2015 Potable Water Distribution System Operations Master Plan
Meeting Date: 1/19/2016
FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Director of Utilities
Prepared By: Aaron Floyd, Deputy Director - Water
Jennifer Metz, Utilities Projects Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FINAL 2015 POTABLE WATER DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM OPERATIONS MASTER PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Final 2015 Potable Water Distribution System Operations Master Plan and adopt a
Negative Declaration.
DISCUSSION
Background
City staff worked with The Wallace Group in the development of the 2015 Potable Water
Distribution System Operations Master Plan (Master Plan). The Master Plan includes
recommendations to address existing health and safety deficiencies within the water distribution
system based on today’s standards and requirements, as well as accommodate future
development. Key highlights of the Master Plan are listed below.
1. The City is fortunate to have an abundance of operational, fire, and emergency
water storage.
2. Replacing and downsizing the City’s largest reservoirs will offer greater
reliability.
3. The City has an opportunity to consolidate pressure zones, while improving fire
flow, retiring aged pump stations and water tanks rather than replacing them.
4. The hydraulic modeling effort produced numerous recommendations that will
make the City’s water distribution system more resilient.
5. The hydraulic model will be used to evaluate future development projects and has
already been used for water main sizing for the projects in the Airport Area and
Orcutt Area Specific Plan, and contribute to the design of capital improvement
projects.
Implementation of the Plan will eventually lead to the removal of assets such as pump stations
and tanks (Bishop pump station, Serrano pump station/ Bressi tank, McCollum pump
station/Slack tank, and Ferrini pump station and Ferrini tank). The Plan recommends numerous
pressure zone consolidation projects to reduce operational and long-term infrastructure
maintenance and replacement costs.

On May 5, 2015 in a study session, the City Council reviewed the Master Plan . The
recommendations in the 2015 Water Master Plan will assist the City in prioritizing both current
and future water system needs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Following the May 5, 2015 Study Session, an Initial Study was prepared for the Master Plan in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and a Negative Declaration is
recommended for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report and the recommended action.
Water distribution system improvements are incorporated into and prioritized through the water
fund’s capital improvement plan process. This process takes place during the development of
each financial plan. The Master Plan will inform the 2016 update of water development impact
fees and future rate setting.
