The District has been constructing the Coast Trunk Sewer in segments for the last several years.This will provide the needed capacity for the District and,when completed,will direct major flows from the existing collection system,which partially utilizes District No.3 facilities,to the Coast Trunk Sewer.To date,the Coast Trunk Sewer has been completed from the Huntington Beach treatment plant to Golden West Street just north of Pacific Coast Highway.All of the southeastern section of Huntington Beach is now being served by this new gravity sewer.In the future,this major collector will be extended to Huntington Beach Mesa Bluff,then northerly to Slater Avenue where.it will allow the existing Slater Pump Station,which was built as an interim measure,to be abandoned.Future collectors will extend north in Edwards to McFadden with laterals in Heil,Edinger and McFadden Avenues. It was noted that all projections for future sewerage requirements were based on the City’s land use plans. The staff further reviewed preliminary plans for a new pump station which would have a lower lift and,therefore,require less energy than the existing pump station which was built over 20 years ago. —1— 03/19/86 The Directors and staff entered into a lengthy discussion relative to proposed development and sewerage needs of the Bolsa Chica area.It was pointed out that the proposed construction of major new facilities which are part of the District No.11 Master Plan must be completed whether or not Bolsa Chica is developed,but Bolsa Chica cannot be developed without these facilities.The Coast Trunk Sewer was sized contemplating drainage from the Bolsa Chica area and does have the necessary capacity.There are three options available in order to provide sewerage service to the Bolsa Chica area: (1)Annex to District No.11 (2)Form a new Sanitation District (3)Contract with the Sanitation Districts for sewage service The staff also reviewed provisions for sewerage service to areas in Huntington Beach that are not now in District No.11 but are served by District No.il’s Newland—Delaware and Coast Trunk Sewer systems through an agreement with District No.3. The total estimated cost of the new facilities required to serve developing territories in and adjacent to District No.11 is about $18 million.This will be partially offset by capacity exchanges with District No.3 which will net the District $1.4 million from the sale of capacity in the Newland—Delaware Trunk,Coast Trunk and Knott Interceptor systems. Alignment and right—of—way acquisition studies will begin in fiscal year 1986—87.It is anticipated that design of the next units of this system will begin in about 1988 and construction would be completed in about five years. The Director of Finance then reviewed projected financial information used 411 tohelp determine the schedule for completion of the proposed sewer improvements.The District must accummulate the necessary funds over a period of several years in order to continue the Districts’policy of financing capital improvements on a pay—as—you—go basis.The District will also continue its policy of entering into reimbursement agreements with developers to obtain the necessary advance payments required to begin the construction projects to serve those territories. Within the next three to five years,District No.11 may need to consider establishing a supplemental user fee program similar to those previously adopted by Districts Nos.1,5 and 6. It was explained that the coastal Districts experience financial difficulties sooner than the other Sanitation Districts because of the high cost of pumping required to transport the wastewater to the treatment plants. Directing staff to study best means It was moved,seconded and duly carried: of serving the Bolsa Chica area and area tributary to the Coast Trunk That the staff be,and is hereby, and Newland—Delaware Sewer systems directed to continue to study the best means of providing sewerage service to the Bolsa Chica area and the area tributary to the Coast Trunk Sewer and the Newland—Delaware Sewer systems which are currently outside District No.il’s boundary,and to report back to the Boards.
