HD..& AND ClN AlTYW QUARTERLY SEWER STATUS REPORT CIN MGR&* ITEM EXPLANATION : At its meeting of July 1, 1980, the City Council adopted Resolution No,. 6226 making 1800 EDU's of sewer capacity available to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. This capacity was made available only in the Encina Service Area and the Palomar Airport Drainage Basin. amount were reserved by Council for individual projects in the Lake Calavera Hills Drainage Basin. Of the original 1800 EDU's, 1174.84 EDU's were issued leaving a balance of only 146.16 EDU's (as of January 1, 1983). Subsequently, 479 EDU's of that At the time the Second Phase Allocation was created, 268.94 EDU's existed in the City Council Reserve. Since that time, 795.16 EDU's have been forfeited from the Second Phase Allocation and'placed in the Council Reserve giving a current total of 1027.70 EDU's. Staff recommends that Council retain 300 EDU's for use at their discretion as explained in the staff report and the balance of 727.70 EDU'S be transferred to the "Available to the Public" category so they may be issued on a routine first-come, first-serve basis. As of January 1, 1983, there were only 146.16 EDU's in the "Available to the Public" category. Transferring the 727.70 EDU's will provide a total of 873.86 EDU's in this category, which will probably be sufficient for the remainder of the year. Encina Expansion Phases I11 and IIIA will probably be operational about January, 1984, and will provide approximately 6900 additional EDU's of capacity to Carlsbad. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact. The transfer will allow the continued issuance of sewer in a routine manner and avoid possible delays caused by developers requesting sewer capacity from the Council. This action does not result in any change in the City's sewer capacity at Encina. EXHIBITS I 1. Quarterly Sewer Status Report, dated January 17, 1983 2.

RECOMMENDATION TO REVISE ALLOCATIONS: Nearly all sewer permits are issued from Category Number 5, Available to the Public. This category has only 146 EDU's left and is expected to be depleted in one or two months. The solution to this problen? is to transfer some EDU's from the Council Reserve to the Available to the Public Category. of forfeitures of allocations and is not required to be kept in reserve. A reserve is needed to handle the following: City projects; projects which benefit the community; and projects which the Council may decide should proceed in the event there is a sewer moratorium. some sewer capacity remains in the unlikely event of another sewer moratorium. Most of the reserve capacity occurred as a result Septic system failures; The purpose of this reserve is to ensure that Staff recommends that the City Council Reserve consist of the following: Septic Tank Failures 50 EDU's City Projects 50 EDU's Council Discretion 200 EDU's TOTAL 300 EDU's Staff also reconmends that the balance of 727.70 EDU's, currently in reserve, be placed in the Available to the Public Category, and be available on a first come - first served basis. C. POTENTIAL DEW AND THE FUTURE: The future sewer demand from projects, which have approved tentative maps or recorded final maps but have not yet been constructed, has been estimated as follows: Approved Tentative Maps: Res iden t i a1 2457 EDU'S .
