Who decides the Plant's future?
Developing the Plant Master Plan is a public process led by the City of San José in collaboration with the tributary agencies - the cities and sanitation districts that are served by the Plant. The tributary cities include San José, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Cupertino, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga.
Groups with an asterisk (*) indicate meetings are open to the public.
CITY COUNCILS*
As owners of the Plant, the city councils of San José and Santa Clara have final authority to approve the Plant Master Plan.
TREATMENT PLANT ADVISORY COMMITTEE*
Elected or appointed officials from all the Plant's tributary agencies comprise the Treatment Plant Advisory Committee (TPAC). TPAC meets monthly to review and approve Plant expenditures.
