CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of March 16, 1993 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Gary E. Decker, Wastewate(�-41 4 SUBJECT: 4 e Required Tertig BACKGROUND: Public Utilities Director Rate Program and Treatment Facilities Date: March 10, 1993 On February 9, 1993 a workshop was held to brief the Council on the required wastewater revenues and the treatment facilities for the City of Colton. The required treatment facilities included construction at the existing treatment plant and advanced tertiary treatment facilities, known as RIX at a new location on Agua Mansa Road. These facilities are to bring the City of Colton into compliance with the present Cease and Desist Order from the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. The City of Colton and the City of San Bernardino have been working together, with the assistance of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) . to acquire the necessary land to construct the required tertiary treatment facilities. DISCUSSION: At the October 6, 1992 Council meeting, Council authorized staff to work with SAWPA in accomplishing the preliminary design for the RIX facilities and necessary interceptor pipelines. The preliminary design has now been completed and the final design is ready to proceed. Also, all preliminary investigations have been completed for the acquisition of the required land. In order to stay on schedule for compliance with the Cease and Desist Order the land acquisition needs to be concluded now and the final design accomplished by the summer of 1993. In order for the City of Colton to continue to participate with the design and land acquisition, as well as to obtain construction funding, from either State loans or bond sales, the wastewater rate schedule outlined in the February 9, 1993 report by Krieger and Stewart needs to be adopted by Council. Staff is continuing to work on the most cost effective ways to keep construction costs as low as possible. At this time, the recommended rate schedule set forth in the Krieger and Stewart report (attached rate schedules for Ordinance exhibit) needs to be adopted to allow the City of Colton to provide sewer services in compliance with State and Federal requirements.
