Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - June 21, 2000 E-11�y OF CO �9LIFOR�`Q LODI COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Negotiations with San Joaquin County for Water Main Extension to Provide Domestic Water Service to Micke Grove Park MEETING DATE: June 21, 2000 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize staff to draft an agreement regarding extending a water main to provide domestic water service to Micke Grove Park. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City has received the attached letter from San Joaquin County requesting domestic water service for Micke Grove Park. Their wells contain DBCP in excess of the maximum contaminant level and have been ordered by the San Joaquin County Health Department to either find another source or treat the water. Following nearly a year of study, the County has determined that they wish to connect to the City system for domestic (drinking water) purposes and utilize their own wells for landscape irrigation. City staff feels this is a reasonable approach to the problem and it makes sense for the City to cooperate with the County, both from a business sense and intergovernmental cooperation for the benefit of the public. Some of the elements staff wishes to incorporate into the agreement are: • The County is to prepare the necessary environmental certification, plans and specifications, and obtain applicable permits for the project, and construct the project, all to City standards and approval. • The rates for water will be the same as City metered rates plus the out -of -city surcharge per the City code (50%). • The water main will be owned by the City to the point of connection at the Micke Grove property (i.e., no other connections without City approval). • Should recycled water become available in the future, the County will connect to that system for landscape irrigation or other non -potable uses in order to reduce the groundwater overdraft and preserve drinking water resources. Staff will also explore other alternatives with the County, such as operating, under contract, GAC filters at the Park rather than extending a water main. Upon successful negotiation and drafting of an agreement, it will be brought back to the City Council for final approval. FUNDING: None needed. '"J 64k Richard C.

Box 3006 Lodi Ca. 95241-1910 Dear Mr Prima: MAY 3 1 2000 (elo; CITY OF LODI PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Micke Grove Park is a regional park owned and operated by San Joaquin County, located just south of the City of Lodi. Like the City of Lodi, Micke Grove Park water is supplied by wells. It is possible we are extracting our water from the same aquifer as some of your wells. Our wells have continued to increase in the level of DBCP contamination. In August 1998 our newest well was almost exactly at the .20 maximum contamination level. One year later it had doubled. Last month we were tested at 2.1 which is ten times the allowable amount. All of our other wells had previously been reduced to irrigation use only, because of excessive DBCP levels. Last Friday afternoon we were advised by the County Environmental Health Department that we may no longer use our last available well for drinking or food preparation purposes. We are currently supplying bottled water as a short term immediate response, I have met with a Culligan Water representative to seek possible interim end point filtration possibilities which would be acceptable, and we have also sought suggestions from the Health Department. About a year ago I began discussions with Fran Forkas and Wes Fujitani to explore the possibility of obtaining City of Lodi water service. I believe you have seen a copy of my memo to our Facilities Management Director which reviewed possible options and recommendations. We have discussed this problem at past meetings of our Parks & Recreation Commission, whose local representatives include Leonard Bull and Keith Land. Our Board of Supervisors and County Administrator are also aware of the problem. You had a recent discussion with a Dangermond Group representative to discuss utility options, as a component of the Micke Grove Park master plan information; Cunningham Engineering is a Dangennond subcontractor for this project. They have estimated current domestic water consumption needs to be 33,700 gallons per day. Future needs out to twenty years are projected to reach 59,780 gallons per day. We provide domestic water to more than twenty public drinking fountains, pub_ Micke Grove Golf Course, Zoo, Historical Museum, Treetops Cafe, FunderwoC ;� A Page 2 of 2 Rides, Memorial Building, Group picnic areas, employee and volunteer locations and three resident caretaker residences. I would like to arrange a meeting with you to discuss pursuing an agreement between the City of Lodi and San Joaquin County, for the purpose of providing City domestic water service to the North West boundary of Micke Grove Park, along Armstrong Road. We know any such agreement must be acceptable and approved by our respective legislative bodies, will need agreement from easement holders such as the railroad and the Public Services Division of County Public Works. We need not deal with irrigation water or other utility services at this time, so that this need can be addressed in as timely manner as possible, however we would be willing to consider other proposed services if you are so inclined. I would appreciate meeting with you on this matter as soon as possible and will be happy to provide you with further information that you might need.
