`.. 1 .� service boundary from two locations; Paradise Road and Stewart Road. These existing lines have an estimated capacity of 2,100 kilowatts each. Since the River Islands project's phasing begins on Stewart Road, near Manthey Road, the initial interconnection to the PG&E system would be located along Stewart Road to serve new customers on the existing 234 acre LID site and then up to several hundred new homes within River Islands Phase IA. As load requirements increase beyond the interconnection(s) capacity, a new substation would be necessary as described above. As River Islands develops, new infrastructure would be extended throughout the Stewart Tract in underground trenches for distribution of electricity. Major transmission lines would be placed within open space if possible and along major arterial streets to minimize visual impact. Existing pole lines owned by PG&E would be abandoned and removed as urbanization of the Stewart Tract continues over the next 30 years. b. Telecommunication Services—telecommunication services, including telephone and internet services will provided by LID by installing over 100 miles of fiber optic cable trunks in joint trenches controlled by LID. These services maybe provided by outside providers leasing fiber capacity from LID or from LID itself. Telephone service may be provided by more traditional means or may utilize alternative delivery methods, such as Voice over IP,which utilizes the internet. Should LID not operate its own internet service, independent internet providers may establish a Point of Presence (POP)through LID's backbone infrastructure. LID would connect its system to one of several high-level networks (Network Access Points or NAPS). The cost of the telecommunication system is estimated at$25 million. C. Irrigation Water—LID will provide irrigation water to existing farms within the proposed service area. A number of existing pumps and canals draw water from riparian sources to existing farming operations. Over time,the farming operations will diminish with increased development and existing pumping facilities will be replaced as necessary. The cost to replace these facilities is estimated at$1 million and will be borne by new development that is displacing agricultural operations. d. Potable Water—LID has purchased potable water from the two water sources: surface water from the SCSWSP and groundwater from the City of Lathrop's existing and expanded wellfield. LID,through RIPFA, provided financing for both sources of water and can contribute$50 million for distribution systems necessary to serve the LID service area, along with major dedications of system facilities from new development building within the service area. LID may own all storage and distribution systems, with maintenance operation being provided by the City of Lathrop. Should the City not wish to provide these services, LID 10
