Set Public Hearing For,_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Reject all bids for the Catalina Street Pump Owners Association Water Service Connection and <br />Diamond Water Company Water Main Improvement projects. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Catalina Street Pump Owners Association (CSPOA) and the Diamond Park Mutual Water <br />Company (DPMWC) are privately owned water systems that provide domestic water service to <br />approximately 144 residences in the City (Exhibit 1). The wells serving CSPOA and DPMWC are <br />contaminated with uranium, high levels of nitrates and do not meet Title 22 drinking water <br />standards. In addition, CSPOA and DPMWC do not have certified operators and cannot afford to <br />purchase a water treatment system. <br />Therefore, the State Department of Public Health (DPH) together with CSPOA and the DPMWC are <br />now requesting water service to be provided by the City. To provide service, both water services <br />must be connected to the Santa Ana public water system. Improvements needed include <br />distribution mains, services, hydrants and isolation valves and abandonment of existing private <br />wells. Once completed, the residents will have access to City water. <br />A resolution was adopted by the City on July 18, 2011 allowing the City to accept a Proposition 84 <br />grant to finance the construction costs for the public water system improvements. <br />23A-1
