REPORT - FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN SANTA ROSA  
WATER AND THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD  
AND AUTHORIZING AND DESIGNATING REPRESENTATIVES FOR  
THE PARK ROYAL CONSOLIDATION PROJECT  
BACKGROUND: The State Water Resources Control Board (Water  
Board) is requiring the Park Royal Mutual Water Company (PRMWC) to  
connect to the City’s public water system. PRMWC serves 27 parcels  
from an existing groundwater source that exceeds the State maximum  
contaminant level for arsenic. Santa Rosa Water will be applying to the  
Water Board for funding for the Park Royal Consolidation Project  
(Project) which will provide for the permanent connection of the 27  
parcels to the City’s water system. Each permanent connection includes  
water and infrastructure for both domestic use and fire protection. The  
Water Board requires approval from the governing board of the  
consolidating agency, in this case Santa Rosa Water, to carry out the  
Project, enter into a funding agreement with the Water Board, and  
accept and expend State funds for the Project.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water that the  
Board of Public Utilities, by resolution, authorize Santa Rosa Water to  
carry out the Park Royal Consolidation Project (Project), and authorize  
the Director of Santa Rosa Water, or designee, to enter into a Funding  
Agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board and accept  
and expend State funds for the Project; to provide all assurances,  
certifications, or commitments in connection with the funding  
agreement; and to sign and approve any agreements, amendments,  
invoices, or requests for reimbursement related to the Project or the  
Funding Agreement.
