Discussion: XVI(b): Adoption of the Housing Element will not change capacity conditions at the wastewater pollution control plant (WPCP} and will not result in the remaining capacity being consumed at a faster rate. The Element acknowledges that there is sufficient capacity available to support the City's "fair share" housing assignment (e.g., through 2006), but notes that additional capacity could be needed to support buildout of the City (e.g., through 2021). The Element recommends that the City continue to work with the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara to address long-term capacity issues, and that it also implement water conservation measures and recycled water programs to reduce wastewater flows. The Midtown Specific Plan EIR likewise concluded that buildout of the Midtown land use plan could exceed the City's current Master Agreement for wastewater services by 0.4 mgd. To mitigate this impact, the EIR requires continued participation in WPCP Action Plan projects to reduce wastewater flows. Consistent with the Housing Element, it requires continued monitoring of discharge capacity and sewer needs assessments prior to development project approvals. The City is in the process of updating its Sewer-Water Master Plan to identify potential infiltration-inflow reduction measures and other projects to improve plant operation. The Midtown Plan concluded that these measures would ensure sufficient capacity and reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
