SACRAMENTO, Calif. -The Bureau of Reclamation has released a Finding of No Significant Impact and Final Environmental Assessment for the Western Dublin Recycled Water Project. Reclamation may provide partial funding to the Dublin San Ramon Services District, extending recycled water distribution pipelines to serve landscape irrigation demands at several schools, parks, streetscapes and medians, and the common area of developed areas in Western Dublin.
DSRSD will install approximately 11,560 feet of 8-inch pipeline, 1,300 feet of 6-inch pipeline, and 4,760 feet of 4-inch pipeline within existing developed roadways, landscaped areas and bike paths in Western Dublin.
Reclamation may provide federal funds, depending on Congressional authorization, to share in the cost of the Project through Section 1604 of the Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities Act of 1992 (Title XVI of Public Law 102-575, as amended). Section 1604 authorizes federal cost-sharing in water reuse projects up to 25 percent but no higher than $20 million of construction costs for authorized projects.
