DATE: 4 County
SUBJECT: CONSIDER ACQUISITION OF PORTABLE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM (PWSS)
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) at BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOM4ENDED ACTION: Refer to the Finance Committee to
consider the acquisition of a portable water supply system (PWSS) .
Direct the County Administrator's Office to coordinate a review of
such an acqusition with the Health Department and the Fire
Departments as well as the Fire Chiefs' Committee.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The PWSS can serve as a back up
system in times when water is not readily available. This system
appears to be a great asset and could handle emergencies of various
kinds from pump station or fire main breakdowns to water contamination
and pollution problems. The application of this in the East County
alone might include using Delta sloughs and river sources when
hydrants are not available or in using stock ponds in remote areas.
This equipment system merits a review for acquisition. One logial'
source for financing would be the Special District Augmentation Fund
since one of its main purpose would be for a fire equipment. Other
funds or grants under hazardous materials programs might be available
and should be explored.
