Water Master Plan
 
FUTURE WATER OPERATIONS FACILITY

The District’s current operations yard at 953 El Moro Avenue is inadequate for staff to conduct day-to-day operations and maintenance functions. The water division of the District will also be assuming additional duties to operate harvest well and blending facilities, that will be developed as part of the upcoming wastewater project. The District plans to develop a water operations facility to meet future needs, and the facility will be developed in two phases. The facility is to be located at Eight Street and El Moro Avenue, on property owned by the District. The first phase development is to be completed as a first priority project, and will include the administration building and a well house, totaling 3,266 square feet. The second phase would be completed as a second priority project, including the maintenance shop and equipment storage building, totaling 2,419 square feet. The final facility will comprise 5,685 square feet.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The capital improvement program for the LOCSD water system is presented on a first, second and third priority basis.  Costs for each of the recommended improvements listed were calculated, and are summarized in Tables ES-4, ES-5 and ES-6.  A summary of the CIP is provided in Table ES-7.  A population-based percentage of 14.4% was assigned to projects where the scope and cost of the CIP was proportionally increased to accommodate build-out of the community.  These costs and corresponding development impact fees are included in Table ES-8.  Given the advanced status of development within the service area, no improvement projects were identified that solely benefit future development. 

Based on the estimated number of future units within the LOCSD water service are (see Table 2-2), the present value of the proposed impact fee is as follows:

  1. Cost of improvement benefiting future development = $1,133,000

  2. Number of future units estimated in service area = 470

  3.  Present value of impact fee (cost per single family unit) = $2,410
    (Capital costs divided by number of future units)
