BOARD RECYCLED WATER COMMITTEE MEETING/BOARD WORKSHOP SESSION
TO REVIEW THE RECYCLED WATER PROGRAM ZONE 1 BUSINESS PLAN
a.
Mr. Roger J. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Ms. Lynne Putnam,
Senior Engineer, who reviewed the process for development of future projects between
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD),
ranging from the project conception phase, through project definition, project proposal,
project agreement, and finally project implementation. Ms. Putnam briefly highlighted the
Business Plan concepts as set forth in the General Agreement for Recycled Water between
CCCSD and CCWD.
Ms. Putnam introduced Mr. Jim Coe, Associate Engineer, who stated that once the
CCCSD Board approves the Business Plan, it will trigger a round of discussions with
CCWD. CCWD staff has been given a copy of the draft Recycled Water Program Business
Plan for Zone 1 for review and comments have been received from them. Mr. Coe
reviewed the contents of the Business Plan, highlighting the technical requirements,
regulatory requirements and water quality standards used in the planning efforts and cost
assumptions. Mr. Coe summarized the components of the proposed CCCSD/CCWD joint
project proposal as follows:
.
CCCSD would design and construct the project;
.
Capital costs would be shared 50/50;
.
CCCSD would own and operate treatment systems, main pumps, and pipes;
.
CCWD would own and operate service mains, meters, and the billing
system;
.
Revenue would pay for O&M costs first; and
.
Net revenue would be shared 50/50.
Mr. Dolan expressed caution, noting that there could be new regulations, perceptions and
the like that may impact this project in the future; delivery of recycled water will be a new
business (utility) for the District; and there could be product liability issues.
Ms. Putnam discussed public relations aspects of the project including marketing to
potential customers, addressing public perceptions about recycled water, and reaching
opinion leaders.

Discussion followed concerning the extent of CCWD's involvement in the proposed
project. It was the consensus of the Board that work proceed with CCWD from a position
of good will, that a draft Business Plan be prepared for submission to CCWD removing the
joint project description and seeking CCWD's input in that regard, and that a fact sheet
be prepared for the use of CCCSD Board Members in communicating with the public and
other elected officials on the proposed project. Presentation of the joint project proposal
was calendared for the April 20, 1995 CCCSD Board Meeting.
