Summary
City Manager Flores told the council the city completed a citywide water master plan and GIS study, launched a wastewater treatment facility study, and is testing Well Number 16; staff said the State Department of Parks and Recreation issued a final Chamberlain Park reimbursement of $676,000, bringing total reimbursements to $2.8 million.
Adelanto — The city manager reported on May 14 that Adelanto has completed a citywide water master plan and a GIS master plan, has launched a wastewater treatment-facility study expected within months, and is testing a new source, described as Well Number 16.
"This data this data driven study identifies system deficiencies, projects future water demands, and outlines necessary upgrades to ensure a safe, reliable, and efficient water supply for many years to come," City Manager Flores said during the presentation.
Flores told the council staff is using those technical studies to prioritize capital projects and to strengthen grant applications. He said the wastewater study will evaluate current treatment capabilities and identify areas for expansion to meet regulatory standards and population growth.
On parks funding, Flores announced the city received the third and final reimbursement for Chamberlain Park from the State Department of Parks and Recreation in the amount of $676,000, bringing the total reimbursement to the city to $2,800,000. He said the Chamberlain Park project will be closed out now that full reimbursement has been received.
Flores also told the council the city engineering team has brought a new well online and is conducting water-quality testing on Well Number 16, and that the well’s future output is being evaluated.
Why it matters: The master plan and GIS work provide an inventory of system needs and a schedule for upgrades that officials said will lower the risk of service interruptions and make the city more competitive for state and federal infrastructure grants.
What’s next: Staff said the wastewater treatment study report will be presented to the council after completion, and that ongoing capital improvements will be prioritized as outside funding becomes available.
