New: Wastewater Master Plan and Final EIR

Concurrent with the release of the draft Sewer Master Plan, the City has also released for public comment the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Wastewater Master Plan. The public comment period on the DEIR closed September 24, 2009. Subsequently the City prepared a Final EIR. The DEIR and Final EIR are available for download and review below.
