EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This executive summary presents a brief background of the City’s water distribution system, the planning area characteristics, the system performance and design criteria, the hydraulic model, and a capital improvement program. The hydraulic model was used to evaluate the capacity adequacy of the existing distribution system and for recommending improvements to mitigate existing deficiencies, as well as servicing future growth. The prioritized capital improvement program accounts for growth throughout the City of Morgan Hill. The City of Morgan Hill recognizes the importance of planning, developing, and financing the City’s water system infrastructure. The City retained the services of Placeworks to develop a comprehensive, long-term General Plan for the orderly development of the community, while integrating the City's social, economic, and environmental goals. On July 27, 2016, the City Council adopted the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan, a comprehensive update of the City's General Plan. As a part of the General Plan update, the City also initiated the update of the infrastructure master plans. These master plans, which were closely coordinated and paralleled the preparation of the General Plan, included: ES.1 STUDY OBJECTIVES

 2017 Water System Master Plan

City Council approved the preparation of the General Plan in June of 2013, which included authorizing Akel Engineering Group Inc. to prepare this master plan. The 2017 WSMP evaluates the City’s water system and recommends capacity improvements necessary to service the needs of existing users and for servicing the future growth of the City. This 2017 WSMP is intended to serve as a tool for planning and phasing the construction of future domestic water system infrastructure for the projected buildout of the City of Morgan Hill.
