Agenda - City of Santa Monica

While additional engineering and hydrogeologic studies will be required to determine a
realistic production capacity for these wells, it is believed that the City could attain as
much as an additional 6,000 AFY of local water if all of these strategies were
implemented. Of course, an eq uivalent increase in local water treatment capacity is
required to deliver this water to the City's customers, requiring an i ncrease in the
capacity of the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant and/or using settlement funds and other
sources to construct a new water treatment plant (currently referred to as the Olympic
Water Treatment Plant as it is designed to focus on treating water from the Olympic
sub-basin). The current approach for this future water supply strategy is reflected
graphically on Figure 4.
