Enterprise Committee November 14, 2013 Page 2 4. Receive update on Concord Landscape Project, District Project 7299, including construction of remaining customer connections Senior Engineer Dana Lawson reported that 12,000 feet of mainline has been completed, with regard to the Concord Landscape Project, and a change order for the Willowick customer connection is being processed. Ms. Lawson also stated that 25 site connections will be bid together as one package at approximately $500,000. Currently, it is estimated that 134 acre -feet per year of recycled water will be used, as eight or nine sites remain that are technically unfeasible to add backflow prevention to the fire system while meeting pressure requirements. If all customer connections could be made, the total project could use about 200 acre - feet/year of recycled water. Chair McGill said the District needs to check for a 15 -year payback period for connections with added back -flow prevention. Member Nejedly directed staff to report when the grant for $1 million is received. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. 5. Announcements Member McGill announced that the Alhambra annexation is going into Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in December. 6.
