COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:
CITYWIDE WASTEWATER AND SEWAGE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Citywide Wastewater and Sewage Facilities Master Plan Update project will provide the City of Barstow (City) with strategic guidance for reliable and cost-effective wastewater service through ultimate build-out conditions.
DISCUSSION:
The City completed the last Sewer Master Plan back in 2010 and in order to plan for the future and prepare for growth this plan should be reviewed and updated. The City has requested proposals to update its previous Wastewater Master Plan. The City has strong growth potential and has received numerous development inquiries in recent years. The goal of the Wastewater and Sewage Facilities Master Plan Update (WSFMP) is to update the recommendations of the previous master plan to include revised growth assumptions within the planning area and to provide an updated and prioritized Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to provide reliable, cost-effective services for existing and future customers.
In addition, providing integration with their hydraulic modeling and geographic information systems (GIS), conduct a planning level evaluation of the wastewater treatment facilities, water reuse potential, and funding options.
Development of this WSFMP will require addressing the following key challenges:
Coordination with the City’s Planning Department and the development community to develop realistic growth assumptions.
Development of a prioritized CIP that is flexible enough to accommodate future changes in growth assumptions.
The challenge agencies encounter is how to adapt their CIP to changes in growth assumptions/timing.
Change in the future is a certainty, and that change will affect future funding decisions.
Developing a master plan that provides the ability to be nimble and respond to changes in the timing and size of development projects is key to project success. We will develop a new CIP planning tool that is a complete summary of the City’s CIP projects. The projects are each detailed in separate worksheets, complete with a project summary, cost, and the growth triggers for the project. The project summary sheets are linked to an integrated CIP master summary table.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding to pay for the Citywide wastewater and sewage facilities master plan will cost $595,600.00 from the wastewater enterprise fund.
