Ms. Keane then introduced Mr. J. Andrew Schlange, Manager of Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), in Riverside, and Mr. William R. Mills, Jr., P. E., of William R. Mills & Associates, in Placentia. Mr. Schlange referred to the Agreement among the five -member agencies, including the City of Colton, dated October 8, 1986, to provide facili- ties for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater produced within their respective service areas. Mr. Schlange stated a Task Force was formed to accomplish evaluating a Regional Plan versus a Local Plan; form a conceptual regional plan on a region -wide basis to be administer- ed by the Regional Program Administrator; develop a regional financing plan; develop an institutional operational plan for implementing the regional program; and implement the regional program and financing plan. Mr. Mills referred to a graph showing the Santa Ana Regional Intercep- tor and proposed treatment plant. Mr. Mills stated there are three ob- jectives to consider - Determine cost effectiveness of regional tertiary treatment; Possible markets (revenue) for product water; and Identify alternate treatment systems. Mr. Mills said regional treatment could save about 4 to 5 million dollars, conveyance costs could reduce the savings by 2 million, and a rapid infiltration system could save be- tween 10 to 13 million dollars over conventional regional treatment. Mr. Mills said high quality product water could be reused locally or exported to Chino Basin, if the basin plan objectives can be met, and export to Chino Basin for groundwater recharge is feasible. Mr. Mills advised implementation would require approximately 50 to 60 months. Discussion then followed among Council Members, Staff and Mr. Mills. City Manager Benest said that Staff would report back to the Council in thirty days on this matter.
