Along Santa Ana's limits with the City of Garden Grove, there are shared sewer <br />pipeline and sewer mains which collect sewage generated by residents and businesses of Santa <br />Ana and Garden Grove. The sharing of sewerage facilities in this boundary area allows for <br />servicing the needs of both communities at a substantial cost savings. <br />The City of Santa Ana and the Garden Grove Sanitary District (City of Garden Grove) first <br />entered a joint use agreement for shared sewerage facilities in 1985 (Exhibit 1). Under the terms <br />of the 1985 agreement, the limits of shared facilities are identified, a capital improvement cost <br />sharing basis is established based on proportionate use, maintenance responsibilities are <br />defined, and criteria is established identifying when capital improvements are necessary. To <br />date, the agreement has served both cities well. <br />The proposed joint use of sewerage facilities agreement (Exhibit 2) replaces the original 1985 <br />agreement. It is necessary to reestablish shared commitments, incorporate new sewer pipeline <br />replacement and design criteria, update the capital cost sharing commitments, and incorporate <br />additional sewer pipe segments which were not previously included in the 1985 agreement. The <br />updated agreement retains the spirit of cooperation, and shared costs and responsibilities of the <br />original agreement. The new shared sewerage facilities agreement is for a period of 50 years, <br />2501-1 <br />
