7.4 Proposed Property Transfer Near YLWD Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station in
Exchange for Water Filling Stations in City of Yorba Linda
General Manager Barbre introduced the item and said the District would like to
make improvements to the Hidden Hills Booster Pump Station in compliance with
America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA): Risk Assessments and Emergency
Response Plan requirements. In particular, the District would like to construct an
8-foot wall consistent with AWIA and District standards at the back of the existing
sidewalk on Hidden Hills Road.
General Manager Barbre stated that the District is proposing to install water filling
stations around the City in place of the use of construction water meters. This
would result in a water cost savings for the City and also would comply with District
standards.
Operations Manager John DeCriscio provided a PowerPoint presentation on the
water filling stations including construction meters costs, existing construction
meters, existing irrigation connections, and the potential charges.
A discussion ensued among committee members and staff regarding drafting a
formal proposal and MOU, bringing the matter before the full City Council and
expediting the process.
