I n order to complete the final task of the Work P lan associated with the Memorandum of Understanding
between Central S an, Contra Costa Water D istrict, and S anta Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) f or
a Preliminary F easibility Evaluation of the R efinery Recycled Water E xchange Project (Water Exchange
P roject), Central S an and Valley Water hired Raftelis F inancial Consultants, I nc. to work in conjunction with
HD R , I nc. to establish a f ramework for cost sharing on the project. T he basis of the proposed cost
allocation is that C entral San would contribute the amount of capital and operation and maintenance costs
that would be required f or Central S an to independently build, operate, and maintain an advanced
treatment process that would allow C entral S an to remove an equivalent amount of total inorganic nitrogen
(T I N) as the Water E xchange P roject. The details of the proposed cost allocation are included in the
attached presentation. Staf f looks forward to reviewing this information with you at the J une 14, 2021,
Real Estate, E nvironmental and P lanning C ommittee meeting.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
•On April 30, 2018, a three-way MOU was executed
between Central San, CCWD, and Valley Water to conduct
a Preliminary Feasibility Evaluation of the Refinery
Recycled Water Exchange Project
•On July 3, 2019, Amendment 1 was executed, extending
the termination date to June 30, 2020
•On June 22, 2020, Amendment 2 was executed, extending
the termination date to June 30, 2021

WORK PLAN DEVELOPED
JUNE 2018
•Central San, CCWD, and Valley Water staff collaborated to
develop a Work Plan called for in the MOU
•Tasks included:
A.Review and update costs Central San previously developed to
provide recycled water for refinery use
B.Review refinery water quality requirements
C.Evaluate/estimate the project’s yield
D.Develop updated cost estimates
E.Allocate costs, based on beneficiary pays
F.Final report

No Water Exchange:
•24 mgd parallel treatment
•Capital cost = $225 M
•Compliance until 2054 (20 years)

Cost Sharing Approach
• Central San could contribute to the cost of providing the equivalent
TIN load reduction as the Water Exchange Alternative 1 (i.e.,
Central San contributes the cost of the No Water Exchange
Alternative)
• Can be applied to any size delivery scenario
