City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor <br />Draft EIR Utilities and Service <br />4.7 - Utilities and Service Svstems <br />4.7.1 - Introduction <br />This section describes the existing utilities and service systems setting and potential effects from <br />project implementation on the site and its surrounding area. <br />A comment letter addressing utilities on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the FIR for the Park <br />View at Town and Country Manor project, contained in Appendix A, was received by the City of <br />Santa Ana from the Southern California Gas Company. The Gas Company letter indicates that gas <br />service to the project can be provided from existing gas mains located in the project area. <br />4.7.2 - Existing Conditions <br />Water Supply and Sources <br />The City of Santa Ana Water Department provides water service to the existing Town & Country <br />Manor campus and general project area. The City depends on two sources for the water it supplies: <br />66 percent is groundwater from local sources, and 34 percent is imported water purchased from the <br />Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). <br />The groundwater is pumped to the surface by 20 City -owned wells. MWD brings Colorado River <br />water from Lake Havasu and runoff from the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Range in Northern <br />California. The water is then treated at either the Diemer Filtration Plant in Yorba Linda or the <br />Weymouth Filtration Plant in LaVeme before it is delivered to Santa Ana (City of Santa Ana Water <br />Quality Report 2007). <br />Wastewater <br />The Orange County Sanitation District (CODS) collects, treats, and disposes of and /or reclaims <br />wastewater generated by the more than 2 million people living and working in central and <br />northwestern Orange County. OCSD treats approximately 250 million gallons of wastewater each <br />day. OCSD facilities include 580 miles of sewer pipes and two treatment plants —one in Fountain <br />Valley and the other in Huntington Beach where wastewater is treated in accordance with strict state <br />and federal standards (OCSD 2008). <br />The City of Santa Ana maintains local sewer lines. The project site adjoins a major business and <br />mixed use area with existing sewer and connector lines. A 12 -inch line is located in Main Street and <br />a 6 -inch line is located in Memory Lane. Existing development in the project area is served by <br />sewers connected to OCSD's 30 -inch trunk line in Memory Lane, the Memory Lane Interceptor. The <br />Memory Lane Interceptor was built to accommodate flows from existing and planned development in <br />the project area. <br />Michael Brandman Associates 4.7 -1 <br />H\Cl t(PN- JMb327b32]003MMVB2]0030 Sec 7UNifiesa dService SyAa sdoc <br />
