%� ..i to contract with SBC, act as its own provider(acquiring and then upgrading existing infrastructure)or constructing a competing service utilizing a Voice over IP structure. Cable television service is currently provided by Continental Cablevision through a franchise agreement with the City of Lathrop. LID may also contract with Continental Cablevision, or create a competing service utilizing new infrastructure. C. Potable Water Service With the completion of the South County Surface Water Supply Project (SCSWP), the River Islands project(LID service area)will receive 3,500 acre feet of potable water from this source, as well as supplemental groundwater from the City's expanded wellfield. These sources were verified and approved in the City's SB 610 and SB 221 reports that were approved with the River Islands entitlements in 2003 and show that the proposed development has more than enough water to meet its needs under buildout conditions. As stated previously, LID will likely own the distribution facilities on the Stewart Tract and contract with the City of Lathrop for its operations, with a reservation to operate and maintain them should the City not. D. Wastewater and Recycled Water The existing wastewater collection system in Lathrop is restricted to the developed eastern portion of the City and is only now being extended west of Interstate 5 now with the construction of the Mossdale Landing project. The Master Plan includes a proposed wastewater collection system on Stewart Tract that would treat wastewater at a water recycling plant on Stewart Tract. Alternatives to this system allow for the treatment and disposal of wastewater generated from both Mossdale Village and Stewart Tract at the existing Water Recycling Plant No. 1 (WRP#1) in East Lathrop. The expansion of WRP #1 to accommodate Mossdale Village and River Islands development is the City's preferred approach. To facilitate reclamation of effluent generated from WRP#1,dual distribution system would be provided in new developments for non-potable water use, such as landscape irrigation. LID, through RIPFA,will finance both interim and permanent disposal sites for recycled water created by the River Islands project. As with the water system, LID will finance and own the sanitary sewer and recycled water distribution systems, and the City of Lathrop would operate them under contract to LID. E. Provision of Irrigation Water Currently,property owners on the Stewart Tract have constructed over 20 miles of irrigation canals and a number of pump stations for drawing irrigation water from the San Joaquin River system. These property owners enjoy riparian and appropriative rights for use of this water. As development occurs on the island, LID may, under contract with these property owners, operate and maintain an irrigation system that will be modified 13
