Who Is Involved

The cities of San José and Santa Clara co-own the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant (Plant). Six other cities have contracts with the Plant, either directly or through sanitation districts.

A group of tributary agencies have final authority of the Plant Master Plan. These tributary agencies include:

• City of San José, co-owner
• City Santa Clara, co-owner
• City of Milpitas
• Cupertino Sanitary District – City of Cupertino
• West Valley Sanitation District – the cities of Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga
• County Sanitation Districts 2-3 (unincorporated)
• Burbank Sanitary District (unincorporated)

Two committees govern the Plant and Plant Master Plan process. These include the:

• Treatment Plant Advisory Committee (TPAC)
• Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

Additionally, an internal Plant Master Plan steering committee was formed to shepherd the master plan process. The steering committee is composed of tributary agency staff.

Two advisory groups provide consistent feedback throughout the Plant Master Plan process:

• Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
• Community Advisory Group (CAG)
