Report
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara's Water and Sewer Utilities operates and maintains the City's sewer collection system. This system serves the City's customers and is an integral part of the basic services provided by the City. The March 21, 2013 settlement agreement between the City of Santa Clara and Northern California River Watch (NCRW) required the City to perform and complete a full condition assessment of all gravity sanitary sewer lines using the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) administered by the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO).
The NCRW settlement agreement has several components with multiple deadlines. A top priority was to complete the condition assessment of sewer mains within 150' of waterways by the March 31, 2018 deadline. The assessment was completed before the deadline. Based on this assessment, the repair and replacement of all sewer mains with significant defects shall be repaired within three years of the determination that the sewer main is significantly defective, or by March 21, 2021, whichever comes first.
The final component of the agreement is to perform full condition assessment of all gravity sewer mains by March 21, 2021.
