ACQUISITION OF SEWER CAPACITY
PADRE DAM MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The City established a capital improvement
project to purchase additional sewer capacity in the San Diego Metro Sewer System
(Metro). Until recently no additional capacity was available to purchase. Staff has been
meeting with representatives from padre Dam Municipal Water District (Padre). As a result
of these meetings, Padre has offered to sell 500,000 gallons per day of additional capacity
in the Metro to the City. This acquisition would also require the purchase of additional
pumping capacity from the City of San Diego. The CIP fund has an existing balance of

recommending this amount be appropriated from the unappropriated restricted sewer fund
