PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES Significant Effect The proposed project will result in an increased demand for water, with this demand offset by the reduction in demand for water when the apartments are removed. In addition, existing City of Santa Aha water facilities in the project area will need to be modified to accommodate replacement of a City water line with a private line and replacement of another City line with a new line with increased capacity. Finding Finding 1; Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Facts in Support of the Finding The following mitigation measures, which have been incorporated in the proposed project, will substantially reduce the effects of the project on the City water supply, to a level of insignificance; Water conservation and management techniques will be incorporated in the design, construction and operation of planned facilities including the use of fixtures that use reduced volumes of water, landscaping irrigation in early morning or evening hours to reduce water lost to evaporation and use of drought tolerant plant species for new landscaping. The Orange County Water District is working with the City of Santa Aha to implement a program for waste water reuse in various areas of the City. Although the Register is not in the Green Acres Waste Water Reuse Program area at this time, the Register will participate in reclaimed water programs like this for water for non-potable uses when they become available in this area. Any new water meters necessary for this project will be submitted to City of Santa Aha for plan check and the Register will pay the required fees. All existing meters and backflow devices will be either relocated or protected in place. The [2-inch pipe in the eastern half of Fruit Street will be removed by the Register and fully replaced with a private line on the north and east boundaries of the site. The costs for these improvements will be borne by the Register. The 6-inch line in Sixth Street will be removed and replaced with approximately 1,300 linear feet of 12-inch pipe. The costs for these improvements will be borne by the Register. The City of Santa Ana will determine the precise fire requirements for the proposed project during their review of the final project site plans. The design and implementation of any required on site improvements to provide fire flow requirements determined during site plan review will be borne by the Register. These improvements could include an onsite reservoir with a diesel powered pump. 10
