3.6 Infrastructure and Services

This section presents the projected water demand and wastewater generation estimates for the Camp Lockett Master Plan and Rezone. The estimates were developed from the anticipated zoning provided utilizing available County of San Diego standards and guidelines, or national guidelines where needed. This section is broken up by water and wastewater and describes the criteria used and the projected estimates. This section also presents next steps for specific projects to address water and wastewater capacity and service capability.

The County of San Diego Department of Public Works - Wastewater Management Section is responsible for operation and overall administration of the Campo Water Maintenance District, which is the water service provider to the Rancho Del Campo community. The Rancho Del Campo water system provides potable water to the Cottonwood Alternative School, Border Patrol Station, four apartment complexes, a health care facility, community center, sheriff station, Campo Road Station, a market, a lumber company, a church, Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, a Fire Station, a Senior Center, Post Office, a Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Facility, multi-family residential (3 units), and single- family residential (21 units). Existing conditions annual groundwater demand for the Rancho Del Campo water system is estimated to be 33.2 acre-feet per year (afy) based on average metered use from 2016 through 2019.

Additional water demand for proposed uses for the Master Plan was estimated at approximately 10,405 gallons per day (gpd), or 11.7 acre- feet/year (afy). Combining existing demand of 33.2 afy with proposed uses of 11.7 afy results in a combined total water demand of 44.9 afy.

Table 2 presents the estimated water demand by land use identifier with justifications of estimated quantities provided in footnotes.

51,000 gpd/acre is a unit demand rate for non-residential land uses included the 2015 Padre Dam Municipal Water District Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan. This value was selected as near representative to Camp Lockett area as the Padre Dam Water District services rural County neighborhoods such as Lakeside, Blossom Valley, and Alpine.

6550 gpd/machine is based on estimated average water use for a washing machine by the EPA (EPA, 2002).

The County of San Diego Department of Public Works - Wastewater Management Section is responsible for operation and overall administration of the San Diego County Sanitation District, which is the wastewater provider in Campo. The sewer collection system and

wastewater treatment system provide service to the Rancho Del Campo community and the adjacent 222-lot Campo Hills residential subdivision. Existing conditions annual wastewater generation for the wastewater treatment plant is estimated to be 45,000 gpd based on average daily use from 2016 through 2019.

Additional average wastewater generation for proposed uses for the Master Plan was estimated at approximately 7,810 gpd. Combining existing average flow of 45,000 gpd with proposed average flow of 7,810gpd results in a combined average wastewater flow of 52,810 gpd.

The projected water demand and wastewater generation estimates for the Master Plan are approximately the same amount as the existing water and wastewater systems service now. The projections are based on general criteria and reflect what can conservatively be expected overall. Detailed water and wastewater system assessments will be necessary, followed by significant improvements of the existing assets. As individual development projects are developed, each project will need to estimate its water demand and wastewater generation based on more detailed information and demonstrate that the existing water and wastewater systems have the capacity and capabilities to service the development project, or identify what specific improvements to existing water and sewer infrastructure will be required.
