1961-7043RESOLUTION NO. 7043
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANALLEIL RECO/1ENDING AND SUGGEST-
ING TO THE ORANGE COUNTY TIATER DISTRICT
AND THE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS THAT
A COST AND ENGINEERING STUDY BE MADE OF
RECOVERY AND RE-USE OF CERTAIN WATERS
ESCAPING INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
UHEREAS, the problems of the conservation, source
and provident use of water are of utmost concern to the
general health, welfare and safety of the people of Anaheim
and of the entire Santa Ana River basin; and
T on the one hand the Orange County Water
District is purchasing and receiving more than three times
its ultimate allotment of Colorado River Water in a stepped-
up program of underground water replenishment; while on the
other hand, through the facilities of the Orange County
Sanitation District, many hundreds of thousands of acre
feet of waste water are being discharged daily into the
Pacific Ocean; and
WHEREAS, efforts are being made to make additional
water sources available to this area through the Feather River
project, but this source will not be available for about a
decade; and
7HEREAS, while awaiting development of additional
water sources, the demands of others may seriously affect the
availability of a sufficient water supply to fill the basic
needs of our community; and
T,BEREAS, every effort should be made to conserve
present water supplies and to discover others before we are
confronted with a dangerous deficiency in supply; and
TIIEREAS, the early solution to this problem is
essential to the very continued existence and growth of this
entire area.
NOT:, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Anaheim does hereby recommend and suggest to
the Orange County Water District that it make or cause to be
made a cost and engineering survey of the economic and engineer-
ing feasibility of receiving effluent from the County Sanita-
tion Districts, pumping the same upstream along the bed of the
Santa Ana River and returning the same to appropriate settling
beds for underground water replenishment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim does hereby recommend and suggest that
the County Sanitation Districts make or cause to be made a
cost and engineering survey of the economic and engineering
feasibility of adding additional purification stages to their
plants so that the resulting effluent is suitable for under-
ground water replacement.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Anaheim does hereby recommend, suggest and urge
that said Orange County Water District and said County Sanitary
Districts meet to discuss those portions of the recommended
program in which each may take part to the end that the re-
commended program progress as rapidly as possible in anticipa-
tion of urgent future needs for underground water replacement.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and signed by
me this llth day of July, 1961.
