PRESENTATION: AN UPDATE BY City Manager Kearney stated that California American Water CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER CO. Company (Cal-Am) has been coordinating with Staff on the ON THE LEMON AVENUE RESERVOIR: demolition, filling, and landscaping of the Lemon Avenue Reservoir site. Current estimates suggest there will be 26,000 cubic yards if import soil transported by approximately 3,250 truck hauls to fill the reservoir. It is assumed soils import and grading would take place over 25 days, which translates to about 130 truckloads per day.
The current haul route from the project site is west on Lemon Avenue, then south on Mountain Avenue to the 210 Freeway The route passes by Wildrose Avenue Elementary School in Monrovia, and an additional assessment would be conducted on the health risks.
It is unknown at this time what will happen to the Reservoir site in the long term. Cal-Am is currently conducting a study on system-side water storage, and it is possible the results of the study would pinpoint the Reservoir as a site for additional water storage. However, Staff has been told that the study might not be completed for a few months.
CAL-AM REPRESENTATIVES: Brian Baretto, External Affairs Manager, and Mark Reifer, Engineering Manager, were present online to entertain
questions from the City Council.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Hale stated that he is opposed to Cal-Am bringing in 26,000 cubic yards of dirt. Councilmember Hale also stated that the site could be used as open space for the community or to split the lot and put in a home.
Councilmember Hale stated that the water tank should be in the ground as low as possible because it looks ugly. Mark Reifer stated that the current water tank is 12 feet above and 20 feet below ground. Cal-Am is considering to remove the reservoir and add a new tank. The current tank used to be part of the old agricultural water system.
