(A) The city has a present allocation of 5.34 million gallons per day (MGD) of sewer treatment capacity with the Delta Diablo Sanitation District. The city is presently near or at its maximum allocation. The growth demands in the city require the city to increase its allocation. The City of Pittsburg presently has available two million MGD of capacity that is excess to its needs. Pittsburg is willing to transfer such two MGD to the city pursuant to an agreement between Pittsburg, Antioch and the Delta Diablo District.
(B) The draft agreement calls for the city to pay $2.5 million for the acquisition of the allocation. Pursuant to the agreement, Delta Diablo would advance these funds to Pittsburg, and Antioch would reimburse Delta Diablo through the imposition of a sewer capacity acquisition fee of at least $215 per sewer connection.
(C) The City Council finds that the adoption of this chapter will enable the growth anticipated in the Antioch area to continue without being delayed or hampered by lack of sewer capacity, and that the ordinance codified in this chapter is necessary to preserve the public health, safety and general welfare.
