Jxs (07/11 /11) <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2011-042 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA TO ACCEPT STATE GRANT FUNDING, <br />CONSTRUCT PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS AND <br />PROVIDE SERVICE TO FORMER CUSTOMERS OF DIAMOND <br />PARK MUTUAL WATER COMPANY <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana finds, determines and declares <br />as follows: <br />A. The Diamond Park Mutual Water Company (DPMWC) is a privately owned <br />water system that provides domestic water service to approximately 90 <br />residences in the City of Santa Ana. <br />B. The well serving DPMWC is contaminated with nitrates and does not meet <br />Title 22 drinking water standards. The water system infrastructure (pipelines, <br />well, and tank) is obsolete and fails frequently, resulting in water outages to <br />DPMWC customers. <br />C. The Board of Directors of DPMWC has by resolution declared their intent to <br />cease operations and direct their customers to connect to the City's water <br />system. <br />D. The cost to construct the public water system improvements required to serve <br />DPMWC is estimated at approximately $1,000,000. <br />E. The State of California Department of Public Health has filed an application on <br />behalf of DPMWC for a Proposition 84 grant that will cover up to 100% of the <br />construction costs. <br />Section 2. Should DPMWC be successful, the City of Santa Ana agrees to accept <br />the Proposition 84 grant and use the funds to cover the construction costs of public water <br />system improvements. The State has also applied for a State Revolving Fund (SRF) grant <br />for these improvements. The combined funds of these two grants will cover 100% of the <br />construction cost of the public water system improvements. <br />Resolution No. 2011-042 <br />Page 1 of 3
