Project Description
The purpose of the Water Authority's Regional Water Facilities Master Plan
is to evaluate the ability of the Water Authority to continue to meet its mission
of a safe and reliable water supply to its member agencies. The master plan
recommends additional facilities and improvements to existing facilities needed
to cost effectively meet the Water Authority's mission through 2030.
The master plan encompasses a region-wide planning effort, incorporating three
interrelated components: water demands, water supplies and facilities. Facility
planning began with estimating future water demands, proceeded to the identification
of water supplies and their reliability and then defined facilities needed to
treat and transport the supplies to the points of demand. This planning process
was iterative in nature and computer simulations were employed to model facility
alternatives that supplement the Water Authority's current system. Three regional
alternatives for water supply and delivery have been presented in the master
plan to the Water Authority's board of directors. Each alternative, which includes
18 to 25 potential projects, will continue to be evaluated according to their
reliability, cost, and relative ranking within a set of qualitative criteria.
