Subject: 2017 Water System Master Plan – Draft Report

Dear Karl:

We are pleased to submit the draft report for the City of Morgan Hill Water System Master Plan.

This master plan is a standalone document, though it was prepared as part of the integrated

infrastructure master plans for the water, sewer, and storm drainage master plans. The master

plan documents the following:



Existing distribution system facilities, acceptable hydraulic performance criteria, and

projected water demands consistent with the Urban Planning Area



Development and calibration of the City’s GIS-based hydraulic water model.



Capacity evaluation of the existing water system with improvements to mitigate existing

deficiencies and to accommodate future growth.



Capital Improvement Program (CIP) with an opinion of probable construction costs and

suggestions for cost allocations to meet AB 1600.

We extend our thanks to you, Dan Repp, Deputy Director of Public Works, and other City staff

whose courtesy and cooperation were valuable components in completing this study.

Sincerely,

AKEL ENGINEERING GROUP, INC.

Tony Akel, P.E.
