None.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the City Manager that City Council approve an Amendment to Grant of Easement to California Water Service Company for new water facilities on a portion of city- owned property located at 20500 Madrona Avenue.
FUNDING
None Required.
DISCUSSION
On April 9, 2024, the City Council approved the grant of a 12-foot wide permanent, non-exclusive easement to California Water Service (Cal Water) for the installation of a new water main alignment within the City Yard property, located at 20500 Madrona Avenue. This easement was part of Cal Water’s efforts to replace an existing 20-inch water pipeline that serves the Dominguez Torrance Station at 405 Maple Avenue. The replacement is a critical component of the Water Replenishment District (WRD) Goldsworthy Desalter Facility Expansion Project, which aims to enhance regional water sustainability.
During the course of construction for the water main project, it became evident that additional easement area would be required to accommodate the installation of infrastructure needed to provide fire service for the expanded Desalter Facility. This fire service infrastructure is essential to meet regulatory requirements and ensure the safe operation of the facility.
As a result, Cal Water is requesting the City Council’s approval to grant additional easement area within the City Yard property to facilitate the fire service installation. This expansion will ensure the new water main project meets all operational and safety requirements and supports the goals of the WRD Desalter Expansion Project.
The proposed easement adjustments will help support the timely completion of the project, which is expected to begin in July 2025.
