DSRSD Engineering Services Director Delight provided a water conservation and drought
condition update for 2022.
4.B.Hard and Cloudy Water Discussion (DSRSD staff presentation)
DSRSD Engineering Services Director Delight discussed water quality and noted that the
water that DSRSD distributes meets or exceeds all federal and state standards; DSRSD and
Zone 7 Water Agency pull samples each week to send to their state accredited laboratory,
and as a secondary parameter, water hardness is monitored; and, the hardness of water
depends on location, time of year, and the operation of the demineralization facility, which is
not run during a drought.
Mr. Delight also provided background on measuring the clarity of water. He noted the water
clarity can be impacted by proximity to the water supply, flushing of pipes, age of a building,
and most likely, entrained air usually caused by aerators on the end of most faucets.
4.C.Sewer Capacity Fees for Permanent Outdoor Dining (DSRSD and Dublin staff presentation)
City of Dublin Economic Development Director Wetherford provided an update on the
outdoor dining program the City of Dublin launched and those that applied for a grant for
permanent outdoor dining establishments would also face additional fees from DSRSD. City
Manager Smith noted that while some restaurants are adding outdoor dining space, it does
not necessarily add to the utilization and she offered to continue discussions at a staff level.
Mayor Hernandez added that it would be great if DSRSD would work with the City to help the
small businesses. DSRSD General Manager McIntyre said he would be willing to look at the
data and definitely does not want to overcharge any of the restaurants.
4.D.Report on PFAS (DSRSD staff presentation)
Laboratory and Environmental Compliance Manager Fournier provided a presentation on Per-
and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and drinking water, where the water comes from, what
is being done to address PFAS, public notification, future plans, and upcoming monitoring.
4.E.Update on Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Program (Dublin staff presentation)

Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Program and the updating of the City of Dublin Housing
Element.
