There is also an existing 12 3/4" diameter water main centered 12 feet to the north of, and parallel to, the proposed sewer main. The proposed sewer alignment complies with the Sta~e of California Department of Health Services criteria for separation of water mains and sanitary sewer, with respect to the 12 3/4" diameter water main. It does not comply with respect to the 2" 'water main. To comply with the criteria for the 2" water main will make the sewer main deviate from the optimum alignment, incur extra costs, and also reduce the separation with the 12 3/4" water main installed just a few years ago. This office requests that you reconnect the existing four residential services from the 2" main to the 12 3/4" main and abandon the 2" main, prior to the start of the sewer project currently estimated to be advertised for bids in September, 1994. 8353 SIERRAAVENUE(P.O, BOX518) · FONTANA CALIFORNIA92334-0518 · (714)350-7600 SISTER CI'1'Y- KAMLOOPS, B.C.

LoGuidice Vice President - Engineering and Operations San Gabriel Valley Water Company P.O. Box 6010 El Monte, CA 91734 RE: Abandonment of Water Facilities;, Washington Drive Sewer Project; Fontana, California Mr. LoGuidice: The City of Fontana ("City") requests that the San Gabriel Valley Water Company ("Water Company ") abandon certain of its water distribution facilities located in Washington Drive. This abandonment is necessary to accommodate the City's construction of the Washington Drive Sewer Project. This Project is an important one benefitting the general public and is part of the City's program to enhance its sewer collection system. If the Water Company is unwilling to voluntarily abandon its existing water facilities, the City would be forced to consider the use of its eminent domain powers to acquire that portion of the existing facilities necessary to accommodate the City's construction of its Project. We would prefer to resolve this matter by agreement rather than by the possible initiation of condemnation proceedings. According, this letter requests that the Water Company abandon that portion of its Washington Drive existing water main identified in the attached map. In addition, the Water Company will need to transfer service for those customers which currently receive service from the existing main to an adjacent Water Company main already in place under Washington Drive. The City will pay the Water Company the sum of $12,650.00 as full compensation for the Water Company's abandonment of the existinl; main and transfer service to the adjacent main. The City will notify the Water Company when it needs the Water Company to abandon the existing main and transfer service. We have al;reed that the Water Company will complete its work within thirty (30) days following the City's request. The City will pay $12,650.00 to the Water Company within thirty (30) days following the Water Company's completion of its work. 8353 SIERRA AVENUE (P.O.

Furthermore, the City and the Water Company acknowledge and agree that their agreernent with respect to this Project shall not affect or impair any other rights, remedies or obligations of them with respect to other City projects or Water Company lines, equipment or facilities. Please acknowledge your agreement on behalf of the Water Company by signing this letter where noted below. Please return a signed copy of the letter to me for my files and keep one for yours.
