HomeMy WebLinkAbout01-19-2016 Item 10 - Approval of Final Wastewater Collection System Infrastructure Renewal Stragegy Meeting Date: 1/19/2016 FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Director of Utilities Prepared By: Dave Hix, Deputy Director, Wastewater Jennifer Metz, Utilities Projects Manager SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FINAL WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL STRATEGY RECOMMENDATION Approve the Negative Declaration and the Final Wastewater Collection System Infrastructure Renewal Strategy. DISCUSSION Background City staff worked collaboratively with Water Systems Consulting, Inc., (WSC) to prepare the Draft Wastewater Collection System Infrastructure Renewal Strategy (Renewal Strategy). The key issues addressed by the Renewal Strategy are the aging collection system, inflow and infiltration (I/I), and capacity assurance. The Renewal Strategy: 1. Develops a method the City can use to identify and prioritize pipelines for rehabilitation; and 2. Determines the length of pipeline the City should rehabilitate/upgrade each year to keep the collection system functional, assure capacity and minimize Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs); and 3. Identifies programs the City can implement to reduce I/I, especially I/I from private sewer laterals; and 4. Recommends monitoring to assess the performance of the Renewal Strategy to assure the money being spent is achieving the desired goals. The City Council previously reviewed the Renewal Strategy at a study session on May 5, 2015. The Renewal Strategy presents a plan to guide policy, operations, and asset management planning decisions in an efficient and cost effective manner. The Renewal Strategy features a framework to be utilized with future budgeting and capital planning to address the aging collection system and capacity assurance. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Following the May 5, 2015, study session, an Initial Study was prepared by staff for the Wastewater Collection System Infrastructure Renewal Strategy in accordance with the California 10 Packet Pg. 210 Environmental Quality Act. No potentially significant environmental impacts were identified for this project and a Negative Declaration is recommended for adoption. FISCAL IMPACT There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this recommended action. Wastewater collection system improvements are incorporated into and prioritized through the sewer 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 sewer development impact fees and future rate setting.
