This water is less expensive than water purchased from the City's main supplier, Metropolitan Water District. Under the terms of the current leases, the City is to receive treated water which originates as surface runoff only (not well water). Limitations at CIC's treatment plant and other technical complications have made it impossible for the City to take all 1870 acre feet of water per year. To ensure that the City is able to obtain the maximum amount of this less expensive water, staff proposes that the City agree to accept both surface water and well water and that the lease agreements be amended accordingly. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute amendments to the existing lease agreements with McIntyre Investments and the City of Covina which will allow the City of West Covina to receive surface water or well water from the Covina Irrigating Company.
