Coastside Water District posts preliminary FY2026 results, approves CIP closeouts and designations; water-quality report finds no PFOS
Summary
Board accepted preliminary fiscal-year results showing a $671,000 revenue shortfall offset by operating expense savings, approved a $46,690 change order and property/lease negotiator designations, and staff reported no PFOS detected in treated water in the 2025 water-quality report.
The Coastside Water District board accepted preliminary fiscal 2026 results, approved several contract closeouts and legal designations, and received the district's annual water-quality and supply reports.
Finance staff reported preliminary results through June 30, 2026: operating revenue was about $14.7 million, roughly $1.1 million (7%) below budget driven by lower water volumes; nonoperating and interest income provided partial offsets. Operating expenses were favorable by about $1.5 million, which left the district contributing roughly $4.99 million toward capital improvements and reserves for the year. The district’s cash balance at month end was reported as $8.64 million and CIP spending for the year was roughly $15.78 million (about $734,000 over the board-approved CIP figure). Staff highlighted favorable reductions in purchased water costs and one-time nonoperating revenue items.
As part of the consent and project-closeout agenda, the board approved change order No. 9 for the Carter Hill prestressed concrete tank project (not to exceed $46,689.86) as part of contract closeout reconciliation. Directors received an update that Tank 3 has been tied in, paving and an electronic gate are complete, and the new tank’s capacity is 2.1 million gallons (plus an existing 1.5 million-gallon tank for a total of 3.6 million gallons at full capacity).
On outreach and compliance, staff said the district posted its 2025 Water Quality Report on June 15 (English and Spanish) and mailed postcards to customers; staff added PFOS information and reported that no PFOS was found in treated water. The district also submitted its annual supply-and-demand assessment and reported no expected water shortage for fiscal 2027.
Finally, the board designated the general manager (named in the record as Mary Roeckman) as the district’s real-property negotiator for a potential permanent easement to the Nunez water tank site and as negotiator for a communications-site lease (Verizon) at a district tank site. The board then convened into closed session to discuss the listed real-property and anticipated-litigation items.
