For Release: October 16, 2014
SACRAMENTO, Calif. ?The Bureau of Reclamation and three water service contractors in the American River Division of the Central Valley Project intend to enter into interim renewal water service contracts for two years starting March 1, 2015. Public comments on the proposed interim contracts are due by Dec. 15, 2014.
Existing interim renewal water service contracts with the City of Roseville, Sacramento County Water Agency and Sacramento Municipal Utility District expire February 28, 2015. Interim renewal contracts will allow Reclamation to continue providing water service to these water purveyors until long-term renewal contracts can be executed.
The draft forms of the three interim renewal contracts are available for public review at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvpia/3404c/lt_contracts/2015_int_cts/index.html. If you encounter problems accessing the draft contracts, please call 916-978-5100 or email mppublicaffairs@usbr.gov.
Execution of the proposed interim renewal contracts also requires finalization of the National Environmental Policy Act documentation and Endangered Species Act compliance. The environmental documents will be released separately for public review and comment.
Written comments on the draft contracts must be received by close of business Monday, Dec. 15, and should be sent to Patricia Stewart, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP-440, Sacramento, CA 95825-1898, faxed to 916-978-5292, or emailed to pastewart@usbr.gov.
