SUMMARY:
Golden State Water Company (GSWC) contacted the City for approval on the construction of a new discharge pipe from their water pumping station located on Vista Avenue. The proposed line extends from Vista Avenue to Kansas Avenue, crossing over the OC Flood Control Channel and through Jaycee Parkette.

City staff, including Public Works and Community Services met with GSWC to negotiate terms and compensation for the proposed easements with an agreement reached between both agencies. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed and has approved the easement documents. Staff recommends that City Council approve a permanent easement for the price of $49,280 and a temporary construction easement for the price of $5,000.
