CASTAIC LAKE WATER AGENCY PIPELINE PROJECT -
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND EASEMENT
AUTHORIZATION
Parks, Recreation & Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. City Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and authorize the City
Manager, or his designee, to sign the MOU.
2. City Council approve the easements for the Sand Canyon pipeline project, and authorize the
City Manager, or his designee, to sign all required documents needed to provide easements
on City land, subject to City Attorney approval, to Castaic Lake Water Agency.
BACKGROUND
The Castaic Lake Water Agency (CLWA) proposes to install a 48" underground pipeline from
Honby Road east to a new reservoir in Canyon Country (Exhibit A). The pipeline will be
installed directly beneath the City bike trail and the existing flood control maintenance road. The
City owns nine separate lots along the pipeline's proposed site. CLWA is requesting permanent
easements ranging from 16' to 60' and temporary construction easements ranging from 45' to 84'
across City property to accommodate the project.
City staff has met with CLWA management and has developed a Memorandum of
Understanding (Exhibit B) that describes the obligations of both parties. The MOU provides for
and resolves the issues and concerns raised by City staff in exchange for the easements requested
by CLWA.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. City Council deny the easements to Castaic Lake Water Agency.
2. City Council reject or modify the Memorandum of Understanding.
3. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action.
