The Poway City Council will review the proposed fiscal year 2021-22 operating budget and capital improvement program at its 7 p.m. meeting on Tuesday.
The council will be asked to hold a public hearing, receive a report from the Budget Review Committee, consider committee recommendations and adopt the budget resolutions.
Poway is gearing up for several years of water infrastructure improvement projects, including replacing the city’s aging clearwell.
The Poway City Council received an update at its Tuesday night meeting on the Water Infrastructure Improvement Program, which includes three projects spanning the next four-to-five years.
The program includes bypassing and then replacing the clearwell with two new storage tanks. Poway’s clearwell, which was built in 1964, is used to store treated water from the city’s Lester J. Berglund Water Treatment Plant before distribution.
The other project in the program is creating a treated water connection to the San Diego County Water Authority. Poway has a raw water connection to the SDCWA and treats its own water, but a treated water connection will build redundancy in the system, said Shadi Sami, principal civil engineer.
