DSRSD Construction Projects (DSRSD staff presentation) DSRSD/Dublin Liaison Committee Draft Minutes Meeting of May 22, 2023 Page 2 DSRSD Engineering Services Director Delight discussed past, present, and future construction projects that DSRSD is working on to support infrastructure replacement and expansion. Several of the projects are in partnership with the City of Dublin. One such project is to expand the sewer main that will serve the future downtown Dublin area bounded by Dublin Blvd./Regional St./Amador Valley Blvd. Mayor Hernandez asked if there will be credits for new businesses that will be in the area. Mr. Delight explained that capacity rights run with the land and that there would be an offset in future capacity reserve charges based on existing capacity. She also asked if there are grants available that can be used for capacity reserve charges, and Mr. Delight shared that DSRSD has a program to allow for regional wastewater capacity charges to be paid over 10 years as a low interest loan. Ms. Hernandez asked that DSRSD and the City of Dublin continue to work together on implementation of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan. 4.B. Recycled Water and Conservation Update (DSRSD staff presentation) DSRSD Assistant General Manager Lee provided an update on future water conservation regulations and recycled water supply. Ms. Lee discussed that DSRSD will be developing a Water Conservation Plan to identify future conservation measures that might be needed to achieve the new conservation standards. The Committee discussed how per capita water use is calculated, if water use is different by housing product and home age, and the State’s inclusion of recycled water in the calculation for meeting outdoor water conservation goals. The Committee also discussed options for additional recycled water storage and opportunities to partner with other agencies for additional recycled water supply. 4.C. Drought and Long-Term Water Projects Update (DSRSD staff presentation) DSRSD Assistant General Manager Lee provided an update on the current status of the drought and long-term water supply projects. The presentation noted that drought-related water conservation measures were lifted by DSRSD and Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) in April 2023. Ms. Lee highlighted progress made on the Sites Reservoir and the Los Vaqueros Expansion projects. President Vonheeder-Leopold pointed out that Zone 7 is very involved in both projects and has Boardmembers sitting on both of these Joint Powers Authority Boards, which are steering each project. Ms. Lee explained that the benefit of Sites Reservoir is that it is located upstream of the Delta and can operate in tandem with the state and federal water projects to maximize supply and meet Delta water quality standards. Vice Mayor McCorriston asked about the feasibility and timing of a purified water project in the Tri-Valley. Ms. Lee explained the relatively high cost of a purified water project and the progress being made on other water resiliency projects. She stated that a regional purified water project continues to be one of the options being considered by Zone 7 but is lower on the list of projects being developed. 4.D. Development and Housing Element Update (Dublin staff presentation) City of Dublin City Manager Linda Smith provided an update on current development projects which included a Housing Element update. Several projects were discussed, including the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan and how the project would be phased over the next 20 years.
