body
Statement of Issue:
Residents on Old Pirate Lane have been operating an independent water system since the street was constructed. The Orange County Department of Health recently identified high-nitrate levels in the one water well servicing the street, which need to be addressed. The cost of these improvements are high when funded by 13 properties, and as such, the Old Pirate Lane State Small Water System (OPL SSWS) is seeking to consolidate into the City's potable water system. As the consolidating agency, the City of Huntington Beach is applying for a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Grant to fund the project. The DWSRF Grant requires the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of an application, and designating an authorized representative to sign documents pertaining to the funding application.
Financial Impact:
The total estimated cost of the project, including contingency and supplemental expenses, is $346,000. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Grant will cover up to 75% ($259,500) of the necessary project funds. An application for a Supplemental Environmental Project grant through the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has been completed seeking to fund the remaining 25% of the project cost ($86,500).
Recommended Action:
