WHEREAS, the FY2003-04 budget for the Water Enterprise Fund included fbnds to begin
abandonment of the remaining wells located in the Mission Basin in the City of Oceanside; and,

supplemental water for Carlsbad, and,
WHEREAS, the studies have been completed and reviewed the condition of the existing
wells to determine if they could be rehabilitated or if new wells should be installed; and,
WHEREAS, these studies also included a determination of the feasibility of utilizing this
water as a supplemental water supply for Carlsbad; and,
WHEREAS, the results of these studies show that the total capital costs to produce, treat
and deliver the water to Carlsbad would be $18,540,000 and annual Operational Costs would be
E 1,000,000; and,
WHEREAS, these costs amount to an average costs of $1,023.30per acre-foot.; and,
WHEREAS, this compares to our present cost of $550 per acre-foot for imported water and
a cost of about $800 per acre-foot for the proposed seawater desalination project; and,
WHEREAS, these costs do not include possible additional treatment for 1,2,3-
Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) and sharing in Oceanside’s outfall for the brine discharge; and,
