RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to accept Proposition 84 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
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 CSPOA does not have consistent access to a
certified operator and cannot afford to purchase a water treatment system.
The State Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Treasurer for CSPOA are requesting water
service to be provided by the City. A City water main is currently located in Roosevelt Street
fronting all 54 properties. To provide this service, public water system service lines and meters
must be constructed at each parcel. The cost to construct these improvements is approximately
$120,000. A resolution was adopted by the City on May 3, 2010 allowing the City to accept a State
Revolving Fund (SRF) grant to cover construction costs for the public water system improvements.
Since then the DPH has been made aware that Proposition 84 grant funding is available. DPH has
filed a grant application on behalf of CSPOA for this funding and if successful, the grant will pay for
up to 100% of construction costs of the public water system improvements. This funding will either
be in lieu of, or in addition to, the funding provided by the SRF grant.
