49 <br /> <br />The City is in the process of undertaking significant capital improvements to the <br />wastewater system, including the replacement of undersized pipes beneath the I-880 <br />Freeway. Future improvements could include the expansion of the recycled water system <br />to serve the City’s Monarch Bay Golf Course. Administrative changes, including the <br />possible transfer of wastewater services to EBMUD or another agency, also have been <br />discussed as a means of achieving greater economies of scale and adding wet-weather <br />capacity to the treatment system. <br /> <br />3.13.4 Oro Loma Sanitary District <br /> <br />The Oro Loma Sanitary District was formed in 1911 and today provides wastewater <br />collection and treatment services, garbage collection, and recycling services for the 44,000 <br />customers within its 13 square mile service area. Approximately 20 percent of the <br />District’s customers are located within the city of San Leandro. Oro Loma treats <br />approximately 15 million gallons of sewage per day, including flow from the Castro Valley <br />Sanitary District. The District’s treatment plant is located at the end of Grant Avenue in <br />San Lorenzo, just south of the San Leandro city limits. <br />As at the San Leandro plant, wastewater is treated to a secondary level through an <br />activated sludge process. Treated effluent is disposed to the deep waters of San Francisco <br />Bay through the collectively owned East Bay Dischargers Authority pipeline. An average <br />of 230,000 gallons a day of treated effluent is reused for irrigation on the Skywest Golf <br />Course in Hayward. The District has a Renewal & Replacement and Capital spending <br />program which covers ongoing repair and replacement of system components. Revenues <br />for this program are generated through sewer connection fees and user fees. <br /> <br />3.13.5 Drainage <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro Department of Public Works owns and maintains 175 miles of <br />storm drainage conduits. The City’s storm drain system feeds into a larger system owned <br />and operated by the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District <br />(ACFCWCD). This system includes the lower reaches of San Leandro and San Lorenzo <br />Creeks, as well as a number of channels extending into San Leandro neighborhoods west <br />of I-880. The District’s drainage facilities include levees, pump stations, erosion control <br />devices, and culverts. <br /> <br />3.14 Hospitals and Health Care Facilities <br />Hospitals and health care buildings are important for two reasons: they treat those injured <br />during the hazard event, and they are housing or serving patients with specific medical needs. <br />In a severe disaster event, there may be thousands of injuries that require immediate health <br />88
