SEWER MASTER.
Public
Meetings have been held with the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and the
Castaic Lake Water Agency relative to the use of reclaimed water and the
feasibility of constructing a third sewage treatment plan in the Santa Clarita
Valley in the easterly part of the City. Installation of a treatment plan in
the Canyon Country area will provide effluent into the Santa Clarita River
providing a recharging source to our groundwater and also consistent with the
River Master Plan.
It has been determined that a Sewer Master Plan is required to determine the
need/ feasibility of a treatment plan. The Plan would incorporate potential flow
based upon the City's General Plan and economic comparison for a new sewage
treatment plan or construction of additional sewer trunk lines. The data
received would also be compared against the studies prepared by the Castaic Lake
Water Agency.for construction of reclaimed water distribution mains. The Plan
should also establish guidelines for replacement of existing sewer mains.
The County of Los Angeles, the County Sanitation District and the City of Santa
Clarita would benefit from such a master plan.
It is therefore recommended that staff be directed to initiate communications
with both the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and the Los Angeles County
Public Works Department to solicit their cooperation in establishing a joint
powers authority for such a study. The estimated cost to the City of Santa
Clarita is between $50-70,000.
