CITY - COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT *•See.
On March 11, 1982 the agreement between CRMWD and the City
will expire. This 1972 agreement set a service boundary line
between the two jurisdictions.
After March 11, 1982 both agencies have the legal power to
sell water within territorial boundaries.
The agreement was revoked by the City Council in March, 1981
for the following reasons:
1. The City desires to serve water to new developments
outside the existing boundary.
2. The City wishes to negotiate an agreement on the
distribution of nonpotable (reclaimed) water within
the City.
3. The City is concerned about the planning and financing
of long-range capital improvements within the CRMWD
territory.
During 1981 the City was unable to negotiate a settlement of
these issues primarily because of the subsidiary district
election held November 3, 1981. During the election campaign
CRMWD represented that a reclaimed water master plan and a
capital improvement plan were being prepared.
Currently, the District is taking the position that the voters
want the "status quo."
In order to avoid bickering over water service to new developments,
it is essential to resolve the territorial dispute. At the moment
there is insufficient information available to decide what
is best for the City as a whole. We need to develop facts and
positions of each agency.
In order to allow time to do this, it is suggested the agreement
be extended for one year provided each party is willing to
accomplish the following:

citizens to advise the Council on water system and
waste water reclamation planning.

plan.
CRMWD
1. Complete the waste water reclamation master plan.
2. Prepare a water system master plan..
3. Prepare a long-range capital improvement and
financing plan.
The goal would be to complete these plans by August 1, 1982,
At that point, negotiations would commence on rewriting the
existing agreement. A settlement would be sought by
January 1, 1983.
