RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to accept State grant funding, construct public water system improvements and
provide service to former customers of the Catalina Street Pump Owners Association.
DISCUSSION
The Catalina Street Pump Owners Association (CSPOA) is a small private water system that serves
approximately 54 properties located on Roosevelt Street west of Euclid Avenue. In recent years, the
CSPOA system has failed to meet Title 22 drinking water standards. The well serving CSPOA is
contaminated with uranium and the Association does not have a regular certified operator and
cannot afford to purchase a water treatment system.
The State Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Treasurer for CSPOA are now requesting
water service to be provided by the City of Santa Ana. In order for service to be provided, public
water system services and meters must be constructed at each parcel. The cost to construct these
improvements is approximately $120,000.
The DPH has filed an application on behalf of CSPOA for a State Revolving Fund grant that will
cover 80 percent of the cost to construct public water system improvements. A survey was
completed which showed the median household income to be below the State's $48,000 threshold
to receive grant funding. Given the results of this survey, the probability of receiving a grant is high.
In order to receive a grant, the City of Santa Ana must agree to accept a low interest loan from the
State Revolving Fund that will cover the remaining 20 percent of the construction costs of the public
water system improvements. Costs to offset this loan will be recovered through connection fees
collected from CSPOA customers
