The East Bay Municipal Utility District is hosting a half-day forum with developers on Aug. 15, 2019, to discuss the project application process and challenges facing the building industry. Agenda items include the district’s new business office, water conservation, engineering, planning, and pipeline design and infrastructure. Developers have already indicated that they wish to discuss with the district a variety of issues: Allowing master water meters for multi-family attached townhomes and condos; posting updated plans and specifications online; a reimbursement policy for water system improvements; conducting civil site design and engineering processing concurrently; and allowing developers to use district-approved materials and perform more of the work themselves.
