RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of Public Utilities recommend that the City Council: 1. Approve the Agreement for Transition of Retail Water Service with the City of Norco to transition two (2) customers within the Riverside Water Service Area at 11550 and 11551 Arlington Avenue currently served by the City of Norco to be served by the City of Riverside; and 2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Agreement including the ability to make minor non -substantive changes. BACKGROUND: The City of Riverside Public Utilities Department (RPU) provides retail water service to customers within itsCitylimits. Under certain conditions where RPU is unable to provide retail water service to its customers, water service may be provided by an adjacent water utility provider. Crestlawn Memorial Park and Color Green Wholesale Nursery, located at the westerly edge of RPU's service area at 11550 and 11551 Arlington Avenue, respectively, have been served by the City of Norco because RPU's distribution system did not extend to this area. On November 14, 2016, the City of Riverside Board of Public Utilities approved the construction of the Arlington Avenue 16 -inch Water Main Extension Project to construct approximately 6,900 LF of 16 -inch water main to extend service to the Riverside City Limits immediately east of the City Limits of Norco. Construction of the pipeline was completed in 2017 and RPU now has the ability to serve these two (2) customers. In addition, Crestlawn Memorial Park and Color Green Wholesale Nursery have requested RPU to provide water service to their parcels and RPU is in agreement to provide such water service.
