This methodology ensures bond funds are spent expeditiously on an active phase of the project. Citywide Facilities Electrical Improvements The original scope of this project was intended to support electrical upgrades and modifications at water production facilities. However, these City-funded improvements are now being incorporated into the broader Citywide PFAS Improvements Project (No. 26-6426), identified below, which will address electrical, control, and instrumentation needs as part of overall enhancements to water production facilities. Well 32 Rehabilitation (No. 13-6433) The project is currently in the construction phase and is expected to be completed in the near term.

In order to expeditiously expend water bond funds, staff recommends reprogramming bond funds to this project. Citywide Facilities PFAS Improvements Project (No. 26-6426) Due to the presence per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances, treatment facilities have been constructed, or are in the process of being constructed, at several of the City well sites in order to introduce water pumped from the groundwater basin into the City’s distribution system. This project is currently in the planning, design, and construction phases and will include site-specific modifications needed to support PFAS treatment operations, such as electrical upgrades and control and instrumentation improvements. These elements are outside the funding scope of the Orange County Water District’s PFAS Treatment Program, and therefore are being implemented with City funds to ensure system compatibility and operational reliability. All improvements will be completed within the same timeframes as other projects identified for bond fund expenditure.
