📋 Tender Overview
Project #:562-56399
Location: Los Vaqueros Reservoir
Description/Justification: This project will involve a partnership with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) to work together as a partner in the Los Vaqueros Reservoir expansion project. The City and CCWD will work toward an agreement to allow the City to purchase and deliver water that has been stored in the Los Vaqueros Reservoir. It will enable the City to pump high-quality low-chloride water during the wet months to store and be available for blending during the dry months, when delta water quality is at its worst. Chloride levels in the delta increase in late summer and fall and are even worse in drought years. Having the ability to use high-quality water during these times will ensure adequate supply, long-term water quality and regulatory compliance for the City.
