ISSUE
Central San's existing maintenance access covers lack aesthetic appeal, have never been designed, and
do not reflect the "Central San" identification. On April 15, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the
Maintenance Access Cover Beautification Proposal. The proposal provides a low-cost opportunity to
update the maintenance access covers to reflect the beauty of Central San's service area, create a
positive customer experience with its facilities, include the "Central San" identifier, and be a good civic
neighbor. The attached design for Board approval, will allow staff to move forward to work with the foundry
to create Central San's new maintenance access covers.
BACKGROUND
Central San has over 36,700 maintenance access covers throughout its service area which state
"CCCSD" rather than "Central San," which is the official nickname and how best customers would find the
District via the internet, social media, or in case of emergency. The "generic diamond" look of Central
San's current maintenance access covers is over 50 years old, appears dated, and includes various
foundry information which is unnecessary.
The new design provides a wonderful opportunity to exemplify the beauty of the service area, be a good
civic neighbor, help customers better connect with Central San and the important work the District

accomplishes, and easily identify the agency to contact in the event of an emergency.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board could decide not to approve the design or provide other input.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
If approved, there is a one-time cost of $4,000-$6,000 for the foundry to mold a new maintenance access
cover design. Any future purchases would be the same cost per maintenance access cover as the District
pays currently.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Nearer the end of 2021, there is an opportunity to compliment Central San's 75th anniversary with the
release of a new cover design. The new cover design would be promoted as part of the outreach efforts.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Real Estate, Environmental and Planning Committee will review this matter at its June 14, 2021
meeting. Staff will provide an update of the Committee's recommendation at the June 17, 2021 Board
meeting.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the Maintenance Access (Manhole) Covers Beautification proposed
design.
