Perform Additional Seismic Upgrades Monitor State-of-the-Art Seismic Lifeline Engineering Continue to Improve Response Plans including Joint Exercises with Outside Agencies (Cities, Counties, Water Agencies. Consider both Raw and Treated Water Systems. Make Seismic Improvements to Vulnerable Delta Facilities  Short Term: Cross Connections & Scour Protection  Medium Term: Plan for hardening vulnerable areas  Long Term: Improve vulnerable link through Delta –Large Investment will be required ($1 Billion Range) –Heavily Impacted by State Delta Vision Process
