Topics getting the most attention in Burlingame public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in water utilities
Donnelly and Alcazar water tanks rehabilitation
The council added $78,200 to the tank rehab contract to finish the job, bringing the total to $353,855. These tanks are part of the city's water storage system.
East Burlingame Terrace water main replacement
The city awarded a $2.37 million contract to Casey Construction to replace aging water mains in the East Burlingame Terrace subdivision, plus $423,016 for construction management. Better pipes mean fewer breaks and more reliable water service.
Water supply planning and the Bay-Delta Plan
The state-required water plan projects demand could exceed supply by up to 38% in a 2050 dry year — numbers the Mayor called politically loaded fiction. The plan passed, but the Council will revisit the growth assumptions and Burlingame's advocacy posture through BAWSCA.
