Pursuant to the Master Infrastructure Plan (MIP) for Alameda Point (AP), new infrastructure will be implemented differently in the AP's adaptive reuse area (Reuse Area) than in the development areas to address the specific infrastructure requirements needed to preserve the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District (Historic District) in the Reuse Area.

Upon receipt of funds from the sale of the properties, the City of Alameda (City) will oversee the logical implementation of the new infrastructure in the Reuse Area.

The City sold five buildings in the Reuse Area and is in the design process with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to extend their water facilities, per the 2017 Ten-Year Water Infrastructure Agreement (Agreement) between EBMUD and the City regarding AP. Buildings in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 sold, as shown in the Agreement's Phasing Plan. Therefore, the City executed water main extension agreements with EBMUD for both phases and is working through the design process.
