TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: WATER COMMITTEE
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 1985
SUBJECT: CITY ADOPTION OF COUNTY WATER SUPPLY ORDINANCE
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize each Supervisor to sign the letter from the County to the cities within each
supervisor's respective district urging the city to adopt the County Water Supply Ordinance
so that uniformity of the standards for well construction abandonment can be realized
throughout the County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff and Water Committee activities concerning this issue are included in current budgets.
Some countywide efficiencies will be realized in the long-term, particularly by the Health
Services Department.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Water Committee has spent a considerable amount of time investigating the real potential
sources and conditions that can cause degradation of County ground water resources. One of
the major potential sources of contamination is the method and procedures followed in the
construction and abandonment of wells.
The Water Committee and the Health Services Department have set a target date of January 1 ,
1986 for countywide adoption of the Water Supply Ordinance. This matter has been referred
to the cities and water districts in July 1984 and again in January 1985, The Water
Committee will again have this matter on its agenda tentatively scheduled for December 2,
1985, at which time the Health Services Department will submit a report concerning the
progress of gaining the support and conformity of the cities within our County. This
hearing will be precedent to a report to the State of California in early 1986. The
letter to the cities is being prepared by the Health Services Department and will be
presented to each Board member for a personal signature.
