Why Are Rate Adjustments Needed <br />CREATING A RESILIENT AND PREPARED SYSTEM <br />The proposed rate changes would ensure the City of Santa Ana's water <br />and sewer systems remain strong and reliable. Proactive maintenance and <br />emergency preparedness allow the City of Santa Ana to manage risks before <br />they become costly problems. Dependable water and sewer systems enable <br />the City of Santa Ana to respond quickly to natural disasters, droughts, or <br />regulatory changes while maintaining high -quality service. <br />ADDRESSING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE <br />As the City of Santa Ana's complex system of pipes, pumps, and treatment <br />facilities ages, it becomes increasingly susceptible to leaks and breaks that <br />can disrupt service and waste valuable resources. The proposed rates would <br />support the upgrade of these aging components before they risk failure. By <br />modernizing infrastructure now, the City of Santa Ana would protect service <br />quality for current and future generations. <br />ADVANCING CRITICAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS <br />The City of Santa Ana's water and sewer systems need ongoing investment to <br />meet modern standards and serve the community effectively. The proposed <br />rate changes would help fund critical projects that strengthen the City of Santa <br />Ana's ability to deliver clean, safe water and reliable sewer services. Investing <br />now would help prevent higher costs in the future and make sure the City of <br />Santa Ana's infrastructure keeps pace with growth and evolving technology. <br />THESE PROJECTS INCLUDE: <br />Water Capital Improvement Projects <br />• Garthe Pump Station Improvements <br />• Walnut Pump Station Improvements <br />• New Groundwater Wells <br />(Washington and Flower) <br />• Crooke Pump Station Improvements <br />• Citywide Water Pipeline Improvements <br />Sewer Capital Improvement Projects <br />• Washington Square Neighborhood <br />Sewer Main Improvements <br />• Santa Ana Memorial Park Neighborhood <br />Sewer Main Improvements <br />• Wright Street and Old Grand Sewer Main Improvements <br />• Citywide Sewer Main Improvements <br />
