b. Update on Concord Landscape Project
Construction began June 29 on the connection of 9 customers. The conversion of City of
Concord medians were the first sites to be completed. The remaining customers are
proceeding with construction expected to be completed by July 17. An issue that has
caused some delay to the connection work was the discovery that some of the potable
water service lines require upgraded backflow devices. We did not learn of this
requirement until both our staff and Contra Costa Water District staff were on site to
conduct cross connection testing. We have worked through the issue and the upgrades
will be completed by July 10. Upon completion, another 5 million gallons of annual
demand will be added, bringing the total annual demand for the Concord Landscape
Project Area to 21 million gallons.
