GM Reports Summer Operations Shift and Upcoming Meeting With DOI Official on Canal Funding
GM Murphy detailed seasonal operational adjustments as salinity shuts down two intakes and reported an upcoming meeting with the DOI Assistant Secretary to pitch federal canal replacement funding.
Why it matters: The GM's outreach to federal officials and the MOTCO military briefing signal CCWD's aggressive pursuit of federal funding for the multi-hundred-million-dollar canal replacement, while summer water quality challenges test system flexibility.

CCWD Previews $285M Two-Year Budget With Canal Replacement Ramp-Up and Golden Mussel Response
Staff presented a biennial budget projecting 6% treated water rate increases, 7.75 new FTEs, $140M in capital spending, and rising chemical and insurance costs driven largely by external mandates.
Why it matters: The budget funds the critical Canal Replacement Program, golden mussel mitigation, workforce development, and zero-emission vehicle transition while managing externally-driven cost pressures that directly affect customer rates.

GradeTech Inc. will repair three landslide areas along Buckeye Canyon Road and restore two mitigation ponds at Los Vaqueros, with up to 94% federal/state disaster reimbursement.

Board Approves $850K Budget Transfer as Chemical Costs Surge at Treatment Plants
Rising costs from the Randall Bold chemical conversion to sodium hypochlorite and expanded Earthtec usage for taste/odor and golden mussel control drove an $850,000 mid-year budget transfer.
Why it matters: The revised chemical authority reaches $5.95M, funded by energy underruns from lower-than-expected Los Vaqueros filling; Earthtec's dual use against golden mussels and taste/odor issues makes it strategically valuable.

CCWD Holds Public Hearing on Water Plan Projecting Supply Deficits in Extended Droughts
Board heard a presentation on the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan showing demand projections 16% below 2020 estimates and potential supply deficits in multi-year droughts starting as early as 2030.
Why it matters: The plan must be submitted to the state by July 1 and shapes drought contingency planning, desalination exploration, and water transfer strategies for 550,000 customers through 2050.

Board Adopts Resolution Backing ACWA's Gubernatorial Water Policy Platform
CCWD joins statewide coalition urging the next governor to set a bold water agenda in first 100 days, focusing on affordability, infrastructure, and modernized management.
Why it matters: With California's gubernatorial race underway, ACWA is mobilizing member agencies to present a unified front on water policy priorities, and at least one major candidate already has a detailed 100-day water plan.

AB 1893Board of Directors23d agoMay 20, 2026
Board Backs Five Bills on Wildfire Tanks, Water Affordability, Drought Relief, and Golden Mussels
CCWD adopts positions on AB 1893 (fire dip tanks), AB 2739 and SB 1125 (water affordability), HR 7845 (WIFIA drought funding), and the Golden Mussel Eradication Act.
Why it matters: Golden mussels threaten California's water infrastructure; the affordability bills aim to create dedicated state funding for low-income rate assistance — a critical gap for water utilities statewide.

Board Awards $5M Contract for Randall-Bold Treatment Plant Upgrades
TNT Industrial Contractors wins a competitive bid to improve clearwell hydraulics, chemical feed systems, and sedimentation basins at the jointly-owned Randall-Bold plant.
Why it matters: This plant, jointly owned with Diablo Water District, serves multiple partner agencies including Antioch, Brentwood, and Golden State Water; improvements address aging 2007-era equipment and add a bypass to maintain water delivery during maintenance.
