PROJECT UPDATES 2) Acceptance of Non-Exclusive Easement reserved under the La Ruth Manor Subdivision Declaration of Restrictions, Walnut Creek Sewer Renovations, Phase 16, District Project 100023 The Walnut Creek Sewer Renovations, Phase 16 project is part of the ongoing Collection System Sewer Renovation Program aimed to replace deteriorated sewers. The project requires the use of an existing non-exclusive five-foot easement created via an Easement Declaration recorded on November 9, 1953 under the La Ruth Manor Subdivision. Staff is accepting the non-exclusive easement and will be recording a certificate of easement acceptance pursuant to Resolution No.2023-0003; which delegates to staff the function of accepting easements and rights-of-way for sewer/recycled water that were obtained voluntarily and at no cost to Central San. Accepting of this non-exclusive easement was previously presented at the December 14, 2022 REEP Committee, prior to the resolution being executed and had not gone to the full Board. Since a resolution is currently in place, Board approval is no longer required.
