TITLE: Agreement with Municipal Water District of Orange County to Accept Potable Water
Trailer
ABSTRACT:
The City has been offered, at no -cost, a mobile potable water source that may be used in
emergency and non - emergency scenarios.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the agreement with Municipal Water District of Orange County to transfer ownership of
a potable water trailer to the City, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no cost to the City for the transfer. The current adopted budget includes sufficient
funds for on -going costs. On -going costs will be expensed to the Water Service Maintenance &
Repair account in the Municipal Operations Department, 5500 -8007.
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) purchased thirteen potable water
trailers through a grant entitled "FY2011 Urban Areas Security Initiative" (UASI) from the
Federal Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
through the State of California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to enhance
countywide emergency preparedness. These trailers have a capacity of 2,000 gallons and were
made available to eleven local agencies in order to be geographically dispersed throughout the
county. The agencies included are the following: Cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Huntington
Beach, Orange and Tustin. Also included were the Water Districts of El Toro, Irvine Ranch,
Laguna Beach County, Moulton Niguel, Santa Margarita and South Coast. 134
In 2013 MWDOC purchased two additional trailers with residual funding from the same grant.
These trailers have been built and are ready for delivery. The City of Buena Park has
committed to taking one, leaving one available for the City of Newport Beach.
By accepting the trailer, the City is committed to make it available to other agencies as a mutual
aid resource in the event of an emergency. The City will have first priority of this trailer and will
be able to make use of it during non - emergencies. The potable water supply will be used in
lieu of a traditional service bypass during repairs in order to maintain water service to homes
and businesses without interruption. The City will be responsible for the maintenance, sanitary
condition of the tank and potable water quality in compliance with all Federal, State and local
regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the
activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to
the environment, directly or indirectly.
