3. Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment <br />Water and wastewater services can be disrupted by bayshore flooding if wastewater <br />treatment plants' functionality is disrupted. The San Leandro Water Treatment Plant is within <br />the 2050 bayshore flooding area. Bayshore flooding can exacerbate wet weather flows <br />into the treatment plant and prevent the plant from functioning properly 33. Pumps and <br />control panels that are not water -proofed or salt resistant could fail. Failure of treatment <br />plants pumps could cause sewer systems to back up and potentially contaminate streams <br />and water systems with raw sewage. <br />Neptune, Bermuda, Catalina, and potentially other sewer lift stations are susceptible to <br />bayshore flooding. Failure of these systems would cause direct discharge of raw sewage <br />to the Bay. At four feet in elevation, the Wicks storm pump station is susceptible to flooding <br />from the Bay. Storm pump stations can be hardened and protected from bayshore <br />flooding. They can also be lifted above the flood levels. However, if inundation is consistent, <br />pump station functionality may decline. <br />Bayshore flooding is expected to inundate the wetland habitat in the Mission Bay area by <br />2050. The wildlife habitat, recreation, and flood protection that these ecosystems provide <br />may not be able to be sustained. 34 <br />San Leandro 2021 Climate Action Plan Page 47 <br />
