11.4 City Water System Update and Recommended Next Steps\nRECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City\nCouncil:\n1. Receive and file the staff report; or\n2. Provide direction on the options under consideration to move\nthe project forward.\nCONCLUSION: Staff continues to pursue construction funding from\nthe State and federal agencies. At this time, construction funding is\nnot secured. Engineering staff recommends turning the well back on\ndue to the continuing debt increases due to the purchase of MWD\nwater, while continuing to prepare the construction documents to\nconstruct the IX PFAS Treatment Plant along with the new Water Rate\nstudy.\nFISCAL IMPACT: As part of Amendment No. 2, staff secured grant\nfunding for the design of the IX PFAS Treatment Plant. Continuing\nwith the purchase of MWD water would result in an annual cost of\napproximately $1.5 million. Turning the well back on in lieu of\npurchasing MWD water would result in an annual cost of\napproximately $475,200, a difference of $1,024,800.\nATTACHMENTS: None.
