From: Robin Borre, Special Districts Administrator
Subject: Adopt Resolution Authorizing and Designating the Special Districts Administrator, or designee, to submit a Financial Assistance Grant Application to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on behalf of the Kelseyville County Water Works District No. 3, for the planning, design, and potential construction of the Kelseyville County Water Works District No. 3 Consolidation Project.
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The County of Lake Special Districts department will seek funding for planning documentation to determine the feasibility and exploration of wastewater system consolidation options for systems currently managed by the district and other systems identified during the planning process. The main sewer collection system is Kelseyville/Finley and the additional systems should be identified through the planning process including septic systems in the area. The planning grant application will be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), to evaluate the feasibility of consolidating three small wastewater systems and septic systems with the potential for the Kelseyville Waterworks District No. 3 being the receiving system. The district strives to be good stewards of their water resources and if the potential to consolidate three small wastewater systems is feasible, the project will result in a safer more affordable system, building system resiliency and sustainability, as well as removal of septic systems in the Soda Bay communities. ______________________________________________________________________
