Status report on District’s Master The staff reviewed the status of the
Plan of Sewers to serve developing District’s present sewerage facilities
territories in and adjacent to the and those master planned to be
District constructed within the next five years
to serve the developing territories in
and adjacent to the District.
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.

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.
