4.Discussion Items
4.A.Public Safety Power Shutoff Impacts to DSRSD and Dublin – DSRSD staff presentation
DSRSD General Manager McIntyre presented the impacts on DSRSD from PG&E Public Safety
Power Shutoffs. The recent shutoffs were handled better by PG&E and so there was more
focus. DSRSD accelerated their project for emergency power to get emergency generators.
DSRSD noted they do not have standby power for recycled water and have asked the City and
Dublin Unified School District to not use recycled water at their facilities in case of a shutoff.
City of Dublin City Manager Smith noted the City was able to maintain some signals on battery
backup and one of their challenges is trying to predict other outages during a shutoff. In the
recent shutoff, they stationed public safety near communities without power.
4.B.DSRSD Capital Projects
DSRSD Engineering Services Manager Zavadil shared DSRSD capital projects planned over the
next year or two within the City of Dublin, including: Reservoir 2A recoating, MCC (Motor
Control Center) improvements at potable water Pump Station 3A, water line replacement in
Canterbury and Wineberry areas (currently in design and project will start in about a year),
work at Pump Station 1A near Dougherty Hills Dog Park, pipe replacement in Camp Parks,
replacing Reservoir 10A east of Santa Rita, looking at where to locate a new tank east of
Fallon, how to accommodate the future extension of Dublin Blvd, and the District Office
renovations.
4.C.Water Supply Reliability Update
DSRSD Assistant General Manager Lee provided an update on the Zone 7 Water Agency’s
projected shortages of up to 70% in 2040 and that doing nothing is not an option. Zone 7 is
looking at a number of projects and they anticipate needing to decide which projects to
pursue and fund next year. DSRSD is in the process of updating the Urban Water
Management Plan and plans to submit it mid-2021. DSRSD went over how demands have
changed over time, the 2015 Alternative Water Supply Study Update, and provided an update
on the Joint Tri-Valley Potable Reuse Technical Feasibility Study.
The Committee discussed how the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) numbers would
impact water supply and the need to discuss at a regional level how development will impact
water supply.
4.D.City Capital Projects Update
City of Dublin Assistant City Manager Tribby provided an update on City projects, including:
Imagine Playground, Don Biddle Community Park, Clover and Sunrise Parks, Fallon Sports Park
Phase 3, Butterfly Knolls Park, Heritage Park Cemetery Improvements, Financial System
Replacement, Civic Center HVAC, Cultural Arts Center, Tassajara Road Improvements, Annual
Street Resurfacing, and Iron Horse Trail Bridge.
