Agreement: Wastewater Treatment Sewer Service for Winterhaven County Water District
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize execution of an agreement for Wastewater Treatment Sewer Services with the Winterhaven County Water District. (Utilities Department/Administration) (Jeremy McCall)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This agreement furthers the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Connected and Engaged through protection of the public health outside of City boundaries.
REPORT:
The City has provided wastewater treatment services to the Winterhaven County Water District (District) for several decades. The City’s existing service Agreement with the District will expire on October 8, 2025. To ensure continuity of service, the City has negotiated a new Wastewater Treatment Agreement (Agreement) with the District.
Under the new Agreement, the District may discharge an average daily flow of up to 55,000 gallons per day of wastewater to the Figueroa Avenue Water Pollution Control Facility (Facility) for treatment. This is the same capacity the City treated for the District under the previous Agreement. The District may not transfer or sell any portion of its capacity allocation and must comply with all City regulations and ordinances governing the chemical and physical characteristics of wastewater accepted by the Facility. Installation of new commercial or industrial connections by the District requires prior written approval from the City. The Agreement also continues provisions for City monitoring of sewage quality and investigation of suspected discharge violations.
For treatment services, the District will pay the “Outside the City Commercial and Industrial Rate” in effect at the time of service. In addition, the District must make an annual payment of $5,000 for the operation and maintenance of the Colorado River Levee Interceptor. The District is also responsible for a proportional share of Facility capital improvement costs, calculated as the ratio of the District’s metered wastewater flow to the total metered Facility flow.
