2016 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM SCORECARD <br />to be completely wireless and accessible <br />through the Web. This is a key water <br />conservation project. The City has awarded a <br />contract to perform a feasibility study and <br />implementation plan. Full AMI conversion and <br />implementation costs are estimated to be in the <br />range of $14 million. Staff will continue to seek <br />funding for automated meter infrastructure. <br />• (PWA) The Public Works Agency has <br />been actively seeking funding for this <br />project. <br />Replacement Water Wells <br />(Public Works Agency) <br />The City supplies up to 70% of water demand via <br />a system of groundwater wells. A number of <br />these wells are aging and no longer produce the <br />quantity or quality of water they once did. In <br />order to sustain the quantity and quality of <br />water for the community at the lowest cost <br />possible, it is essential to retain our <br />groundwater pumping capacity. A need exists <br />to drill and equip new replacement wells. As a <br />regional aquifer, this project would also protect <br />the integrity of the aquifer for other water <br />producers. The City is in the process of <br />acquiring a site and has prepared a preliminary <br />feasibility study for up to two new replacement <br />wells. The replacement well improvements are <br />estimated to be in the cost range of $7 million. <br />Staff will continue to seek funding for the <br />replacement of water wells. <br />• (PWA) The Public Works Agency received <br />funding for the purchase of replacement <br />water wells and is awaiting approval <br />from the City Council for the sale. <br />* (PWA) The site for a new replacement <br />well has been located and the feasibility <br />study has been completed. The Public <br />Works Agency will seek the City Council's <br />approval for the site location in 2017. <br />Reclaimed Water System Master Plan <br />(Public Works Agency) <br />The Orange County Water District (OCWD) owns <br />and operates a reclaimed water system, a <br />portion of which traverses through parts of <br />Santa Ana. Santa Ana properties may connect <br />to the reclaimed water system, where available. <br />Currently only a limited number of parcels have <br />access to the system as the reclaimed water <br />pipelines only exists in a limited area. The City is <br />considering commissioning a reclaimed water <br />system master plan to identify opportunities to <br />expand the system to serve reclaimed water <br />demands. The OCWD has tentatively committed <br />to supply additional reclaimed water but Santa <br />Ana will have to fund construction costs <br />associated with expanding the system. The <br />reclaimed water master plan is estimated to <br />cost $100,000. The cost to construct additional <br />reclaimed water pipeline is estimated to be <br />$1.25 million per mile. Staff will seek funding to <br />develop a reclaimed water system master plan. <br />• (PWA) The Public Works Agency has <br />actively applied for grant funds. <br />Bristol Street <br />(Public Works Agency) <br />The City of Santa Ana has been in the process of <br />improving 3.9 miles of Bristol Street between <br />Warner Avenue and Memory Lane in <br />conformance with the City's General Plan, and <br />OCTA's Master Plan of Arterial Highways. The <br />project adds one through lane in each direction, <br />bike lanes, sidewalk, landscaping and medians, <br />as well additional turn lanes and bus turnouts at <br />major intersections. The completed or near <br />completed portions of the project total over 2.5 <br />miles. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />23 <br />65B -48 <br />
