SUBJECT: Community Water Supply System for the Byron Area
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize County staff to assist the Byron community in obtaining
State funding for construction of a domestic water supply system .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None .
BACKGROUND
The Byron community is served by individual water wells . Many of the
wells contain nitrates in excess of federal , state , and local limiting
standards . Reesidents of the Byron area have asked the Health
Services Department to assist them_ in obtaining State funding for
construction .
State funding may be available under the California Safe Drinking
Water Bond Law of 1986 (Proposition 55 ) . This law provides low
interest loans , and in some instances grants , for imporving local
water supply systems . The 1986 Bond Law was preceded by the 1984 and
1978 Bond Laws . Contra Costa County was successful in obtaining
funding under both the 1978 and 1984 laws .
This initial step to be eligible for funding is the filing of a pre-
application . The pre-application process is used by the State to
develop a statewide priority list . The pre-application process does
not commit the county or the community to enter into a contract with
the State .
A water system in Byron could be administered by the County , Byron
Bethany Irrigation District , Byron Sanitary District , or the Contra
Costa Water District . If the pre -application process is successful ,
the appropriate administering agency would have to be designated and
formal approval of that agency governing body obtained .
