BACKGROUND
Proposition 84 Chapter 2 Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) 2014 Grant Program, administered through the Department of Water Resources (DWR), provides funding to drought-affected communities for projects and programs that assist local public agencies to meet long term water needs of the state, including the delivery of safe drinking water and the protection of water quality and the environment.
On July 15, 2014, City Council adopted the Bay Area IRWMP as a required condition for receipt of the subject grant funding (Report to Council 14-0593) and authorized staff to complete the grant application process.
In October 2014, the DWR awarded approximately $221 million to fund projects statewide. As part of a $23 million Bay Area Drought Relief Program grant award, the City of Sunnyvale and Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) project team will receive $4 million in grant funding for the Sunnyvale Continuous Recycled Water Production Facilities and Wolfe Road Pipeline. The Sunnyvale component of this project, the Continuous Recycled Water Production Facilities, is earmarked to receive $1.5 million.
The Continuous Recycled Water Production Facilities project under Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 829430, WPCP Chlorine Conversion, will rehabilitate the plant production facilities to allow for production of recycled water while concurrently discharging to the San Francisco Bay which will improve the overall reliability and flexibility to produce recycled water.
