November 2005 – Final Report 1

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Gateway Municipal Service Review study area encompasses the coastal plain area in the southeast portion of Los Angeles County. Western and Vermont Avenues generally form the western boundary, the Pacific Ocean lies to the south, Orange County forms the eastern boundary and SR-60 is to the north. This area overlies the Central Groundwater Basin, an adjudicated groundwater basin that has historically been overpumped. Land use in the study area is characterized by urban development, with a predominance of residential and commercial/industrial uses. The area is served by 21 public water agencies and multiple private water companies and water mutuals. The private water companies and mutuals are not under LAFCo purview. The area relies on a combination of groundwater, imported and recycled water for supply. SUMMARY OF DETERMINATIONS 1. Growth and Population The Gateway study area has an estimated population of 1,964,119 per SCAG 2004 projections. Growth through 2030 is expected to be slow to moderate with an average annual growth rate of approximately 0.65%. This would yield 13% growth over the next twenty years, which is less than the overall expected growth rate for Los Angeles County. Most agencies stated that their service areas were built-out and growth would come from infill and redevelopment. Redevelopment that replaces a former manufacturing use is not expected to result in increased water demand as manufacturing processes generally require significantly more water than residential or commercial demand. However, changes in densities from single family to multi-family residential may have a greater effect. 2. Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies The water supply for the region is provided through a combination of imported water, groundwater extracted from the Central Groundwater Basin, and recycled water produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The Central Basin is adjudicated, and each of the cities and retail special districts holds groundwater rights. Depending on their current infrastructure and demand, they are able to use this resource to meet all or a percentage of demand with imported water used to supplement supply. Some cities do not use imported water at all. In order to meet demand in the most cost effective manner, most of the agencies lease water rights as part of the mandatory water rights pool required by the judgment. Most of the municipalities are planning for new wells or the rehabilitation and improvement of existing wells and treatment/storage facilities.




Groundwater quality is of some concern. The historic overpumping caused the groundwater levels to fall below sea level, which allowed for seawater intrusion. The Central Basin is protected by the Alamitos Barrier in Long Beach. The Water Replenishment District uses recycled water to maintain the barrier through an agreement with the Orange County Water District. Imported water is wholesaled by the Central Basin Municipal Water District (Central Basin MWD) and delivered to the agencies directly from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) system. Long Beach and Compton are also Metropolitan members and purchase imported water directly from that agency. Recycled water is produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts at the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant in Cerritos and sold by the Central Basin MWD. It is available in a number of areas in the Gateway region. Overall, water supply is adequate to meet the future needs of the region provided imported water remains available. The agencies are collaborating on groundwater management and conjunctive use programs that will allow them to effectively maximize local resources while ensuring the sustainability and quality of the groundwater basin. Some of the agencies have Water System Master Plans and all have Capital Improvement Programs. They are being implemented based on available funding. Sativa-Los Angeles CWD is the only agency that does not have water meters. 3. Financing Constraints and Opportunities The cities are operating their water utilities as an enterprise activity such that revenues are expected to cover all water utility related expenses. However, escalating costs associated with personnel and benefits as well as cost increases for water purchases represent common financing constraints. Rate stabilization is a priority, and the agencies are not always able to pass on the full incremental cost increase within a given year. Some of the agencies are using financing mechanisms, such as loans, bonds or Certificates of Participation, to finance major capital improvements. Others are using a pay-as-you-go approach. Grant funding has been secured for some major projects. Some agencies have delayed capital improvements as a result of financial constraints.




4 and 5. Cost-Avoidance Opportunities and Opportunities for Shared Facilities Most agencies are avoiding future costs through maximizing the use of local resources and limiting use of imported supply. The agencies each have planning documents that enable them to efficiently plan for operations and future system improvements. Agencies are sharing facilities where appropriate, particularly in regards to emergency intertie connections and recycled water. 6. Management Efficiencies The agencies demonstrated a number of methods for achieving management efficiencies including performance measurements and the use of strategic plans and objectives accompanied by work plans. 7. Opportunities for Rate Restructuring Rate structures in use include both flat and tiered; several of the cities have increased rates within the past few years or are considering a rate increase. A comparison of rates based on a 5/8” meter and water usage of 20 hundred cubic feet indicate that they are within an acceptable range. The City of Signal Hill has the highest rates in the study area. Sativa-Los Angeles CWD charges a flat rate as they have no metered accounts. Central Basin MWD uses the rate structure established by Metropolitan and includes a surcharge of $37 per acre foot for treated water. Recycled water rates are reviewed annually and are based on an inverted tier structure such that higher volumes are sold at a discounted price. 8. Government Structure Options Some agencies are providing service to connections outside of their boundaries. Out of agency agreements that were in place prior to January 1, 2001 do not require LAFCo approval per Government Code §56133 (e). The Water Replenishment District is evaluating the possibility of annexing area that overlies the Central Groundwater Basin where no active groundwater management is occurring. This may result in more effective management of the groundwater resources; however it would impose a new charge for groundwater use in the area annexed. Due to the size of its service area, condition of the infrastructure, and financial resources, it is recommended that LAFCO consider adopting a zero sphere of influence for the Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District. The District is adjacent to the City of Compton.




9. Local Accountability and Governance The cities are locally accountable and demonstrating good governance practices. All of the cities as well as the two larger special districts have websites used for public notice as well as dissemination of information on water service. Following is a map of the Gateway region and a schematic depicting the water supply for the study area.

– SPECIAL DISTRICTS – Central Basin Municipal Water District The Central Basin MWD wholesales treated imported water to the cities and agencies within the Gateway region. Central Basin MWD, Long Beach and Compton are all members of MWD; therefore the majority




of the two cities’ incorporated area is excluded from Central Basin’s service area. Central Basin MWD was formed in 1952 under the Municipal Water District Act of 1911 (Water Code §71000 et seq.). The District’s service area is 227 square miles and includes 24 cities, and has an estimated population of 1.5 million. Central Basin MWD is also the primary provider of recycled water which it acquires from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and sells within its service area. In addition to domestic use, the District’s imported and recycled water is also sold to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California for groundwater recharge as well as for use in the seawater intrusion barriers. La Habra Heights County Water District The La Habra Heights County Water District was formed in 1976 under the County Water District Act (Water Code §30000 et seq.). The District is bounded by the City of Whittier to the west, Orange County to the south, and unincorporated area to the east and north. The District serves the City of La Habra Heights and small pockets of unincorporated area. The area is predominantly rural, low density residential with limited commercial use. It is considered built-out and growth will be minimal. Orchard Dale Water District The Orchard Dale Water District was formed in 1954 under the County Water District Act (Water Code §30000 et seq.). The District serves approximately 2 square miles of unincorporated area in southeastern Los Angeles County.

The District’s boundaries encompass approximately 2.82 square miles, or 30% of the City’s incorporated area. The District is dependent on groundwater for its source of supply. Sativa – Los Angeles County Water District The Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District was formed in 1938 under the County Water District Act (Water Code §30000 et seq.). The District serves a half-square mile area in the Willowbrook area of unincorporated Los Angeles County and a small portion of the City of Compton. The District is bounded on the west and south by the City of Compton. The District relies on groundwater. Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) was formed in 1959 pursuant to the Water Replenishment District Act (Water Code §60000 et seq.). The District provides groundwater




replenishment, sea water intrusion protection, and groundwater quality monitoring for the West Coast and Central groundwater basins. The District’s service area covers 420 square miles and includes 43 cities. The District purchases imported and recycled water from the Central Basin MWD and the Long Beach Water Department for replenishment purposes in the Central and West Coast Groundwater Basins.

The Gateway region includes a broad range of urban land uses, densities, and development intensities. Residential land use varies from high-density infill to low density single family residences on small lots. Commercial and industrial enterprises within the region generate significant water demand due to operations and manufacturing processes with demand fluctuating due to economic conditions. The Gateway region is mature, and generally considered built-out. The modest growth projected over the next twenty years will primarily be a result of infill and redevelopment. There is a trend to rezone some single-family residential for multi-family use. Overall Los Angeles County experienced a 12% population increase from 1990 to 2000, with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) projecting an overall 19% increase through 2020. Growth within the Gateway region is expected to be approximately 13% through 2020, less than the county-wide average.

Supply Demand Population

3.2 INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCIES The evaluation of infrastructure needs and deficiencies includes an analysis of both water supply and water system capacity. The following figure, Figure 3.1 Supply/Demand Forecast - Based on Population Projections, shows the estimated supply and demand based on data reported by the water agencies in the Gateway MSR study area as well as SCAG population projections. The questionnaire submitted to the agencies by LA LAFCO did not request projections for supply and demand; therefore the data has been obtained from the agencies’ 2000 Urban Water Management Plans and other supporting documentation. It is recommended that the agency profiles in Section 2.0 be updated following the completion of the 2005 Urban Water Management Plans in order to maintain accurate agency projections on future supply and demand.

Figure 3.1 – Gateway Region

Supply/Demand Forecast Based on Population Projections




3.2.1 Water Supply/Demand The Gateway area currently relies on a combination of groundwater, imported, and recycled water to meet demand. Historically the area has relied on groundwater in the Central Basin for supply. However, with no oversight or management and years of overpumping, the groundwater resources diminished. In 1957, the accumulated overdraft in the Central Basin was nearly 1 million acre-feet, and groundwater levels had dropped to below sea level. With the Central Basin Judgment, the area’s groundwater resources have improved due to management controls and programs to ensure sustainable use and water quality. Imported water is supplied by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California through the Central Basin Municipal Water District and the Cities of Long Beach and Compton. Recycled water has become an increasingly important source of supply. The Central Basin MWD purchases recycled water from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts to resell within its service area. The groundwater in the Central Basin is at risk for impacts by seawater; however the Alamitos intrusion barrier effectively protects the Basin from further impacts. In the northern portion of the Basin, extraction wells are removing contaminated groundwater so it does not migrate to the Central Basin’s core aquifers. Groundwater Supply The groundwater source for the Gateway region is the Central Basin. The Central Basin adjudication is 217,367 acre-feet per year. Allowable pumping allocations are limited to 80% of pumping rights. The original judgment allowed for the water purveyors to pump groundwater in excess of replenishment, which caused the basin water quality and supply to deteriorate. To ensure adequate supply, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District has created spreading basins and the Water Replenishment District replenishes the groundwater based on the amount extracted. The judgment includes carryover rights up to 20% such that unpumped water rights may be carried over into the next year. If pumping exceeds 120%, then there is a corresponding reduction in the following year. The 1991 amendment to the judgment included an exemption for contamination extraction. A Conjunctive Use Study that was completed models several pumping scenarios to develop a range of hypothetical impacts to the basin. One of the models includes increasing the pumping allowance to 90% of pumping rights, which would increase allowable extractions by 27,170.9 acre-feet per year. Approximately 25 cities and agencies have expressed interest in participating in a conjunctive use project that would utilize available storage in the Central Basin within the terms and conditions of the exiting Central Basin Judgment. The City of Downey is acting as the lead for this effort. Per the Judgment, a maximum of 40% of the Allowed Pumping Allocation (APA) can be used for storage in the Basin. The proposed project involves installing several Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells which would be used to recharge the basin with purchased MWD water during winter months when excess MWD water is available. The stored water would be extracted during periods of drought when MWD deliveries are




curtailed. The project currently proposes to install several 1,000-1,500 gpm ASR wells. Although the wells would be located in only a few cities, participants in the program would be able to extract the stored water with their own facilities as the Judgment does not limit the extraction of the stored water the area where it was introduced. The estimated cost for design and construction of each well is $1.5 to $2 million. Funding would be sought through a Prop 50 construction grant. Groundwater quality is a continuing concern. Norwalk is currently the lead agency of the Southeast Water Coalition, a JPA of cities working to prevent the migration of groundwater contamination from the Whittier Narrows to the Central Basin. The JPA also cooperates on regional groundwater quality issues. Imported Water Supply The Metropolitan Water District provides imported water from both the State Water Project (SWP) and the Colorado River to the Gateway area through its member agencies, Central Basin MWD and the Cities of Long Beach and Compton. Although SWP Contractors have an assigned allotment each year, the actual amount delivered varies depending on water availability in the Bay-Delta and other northern California sources. For 2004, the southern California contractors received 65% of their prescribed allotment. The southern California SWP contractors actively manage the procurement process to ensure reliability and cost control. Opportunities to use water transfers, banking and off-season deliveries are exercised if they are beneficial to the region and member agencies. The Central Basin MWD relies on MWD for demand projections and ensuring the reliability of imported supply. Recycled Water Supply Recycled water has played an increasingly important role in the Gateway area as it effectively serves to offset potable demand for use in the landscape, industrial processes and other innovative applications. Recycled water is produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and is available through the Central Basin MWD in many areas within the Gateway area. The recycled water program has received funding from Metropolitan as well as federal and State grants to finance infrastructure investment and program development. The largest recycled water user is the Water Replenishment District. Balancing Supply and Demand Most of the agencies are using demand management measures to reduce demand, and conservation plays a critical role. Individually and through the wholesaling agencies, the retailers are engaged in conservation programs and activities including public outreach, rebates, education and incentives. The California Water Code Division 6, Sections 10610 et seq., Urban Water Management Planning Act, as amended January 1, 2002 requires all Urban Water Management Plans to be updated in 2005. This




will provide an opportunity for the agencies to re-evaluate and updated projected population, water supply and demand within their respective service areas. Water supply and demand for each of the public water districts in the Gateway MSR study area is summarized below in Table 3.3 – Supply and Demand Summary.

– CITIES – City of Cerritos The City of Cerritos’ water supply is provided through groundwater, imported water and recycled water. The City has pumping rights to 4,661 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. The City leases




additional water rights and then supplements with imported water to meet demand. Cerritos wholesales water to the Southern California Water Company, City of Norwalk, and County Water Company. These three entities comprise approximately 24% of total demand. The City has a comprehensive capital improvements program that identifies approximately $2 million in future water projects. The City has emergency interconnections with adjacent water purveyors. The City did not note any deficiencies or needs within the system. City of Compton The City of Compton’s water supply includes both groundwater and imported water. The City has pumping rights to 5,723 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. The groundwater meets drinking water standards and the City does not provide treatment. The City is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District and has three connections to the Metropolitan system for delivery of treated water. The City leases additional water rights in order to meet demand. The City has an active conservation program that includes education and incentives/rebates. The City has four active wells and one standby well. The four wells are reported in good condition. The City is proposing to construct two new wells in the northeast and northwest sections of the city in order to increase pressure. The system is all gravity fed. The City has the pumping and importing capabilities to serve undeveloped areas within its boundaries, however additional system improvements would be required in order to provide service. The City noted that the water system needs upgrades or replacements for water mains, wells, storage facilities, building structures, and a construction yard. This limits the City’s ability to serve growth, unless the development applicant is responsible for funding necessary upgrades. City of Downey The City of Downey relies on groundwater and recycled water for its water supply. The City has pumping rights to 16,554 acre-feet per year and leases additional water rights as needed to meet demand. The City maintains connections to Central Basin MWD’s imported water system for emergency purposes only. The City has a comprehensive water conservation program that includes rebates and education. The City has 20 active wells with one standby well. The City does not treat the groundwater as it currently meets drinking water standards. Isolated water quality incidents have been resolved. Deeper, high capacity wells will be used to replace older shallow wells. The City is planning to construct a new well in the southeast portion of the City. The District’s storage reservoir was constructed in 1957 and is reported in good condition.




City of Huntington Park The City of Huntington Park has pumping rights to 3,850 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. In 2002-2003 the City leased an additional 630 acre-feet from the City of Norwalk. Groundwater is supplemented with imported water in order to meet demand. The City offers conservation programs in conjunction with the Central Basin MWD. The City has a total of six wells; maximum contaminant levels have been exceeded in two of them. Wellhead treatment facilities have been installed to ensure that the facilities remain in service. The wells are rated in fair and poor condition as are the reservoirs. Current needs include major repairs to four reservoirs and rehabilitation of four wells. The City also needs a new pumping facility in the northern section. Capital projects to address these issues are limited by available funding. City of Lakewood The City of Lakewood has pumping rights to 9,423 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. The City supplements this source with recycled water for irrigation. A water conservation program is used to encourage water use efficiency. The City has 15 wells. The City noted that it has 60 miles of 4-inch unlined cast iron water mains that need to be replaced to increase fire flow capacity and improve water quality. The City plans to gradually replace the mains over the next 15-25 years. In order to control costs, the plan phases the replacement based on leak history and water quality complaints. Two of the City’s three emergency interconnections are fully automated to activate when the water pressure drops in either system. The current Capital Improvement Plan includes four funded water system projects: water main replacement, storage facility rehabilitation, water wells, and hydrogen sulfide removal which will allow the City to increase groundwater production. City of Long Beach The City of Long Beach has pumping rights to over 30,000 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin. This is supplemented by imported water and recycled water in order to meet demand. The Long Beach Water Department is actively engaged in water resource management, including pursuing desalination and conjunctive use. The Department secured a $4.5 million grant from the State of California to construct the Long Beach Conjunctive Use project which will capture excess water in wet years and store it in the Central Basin. A second fully funded project, with the City of Lakewood and Metropolitan, will allow storage of up to 3,600 acre-feet of imported water during normal hydrologic years. An Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well will be constructed in Lakewood and linked to the Long Beach water distribution system. Lakewood will be able to use the well for normal groundwater operations when it is not being used for conjunctive use operations by Long Beach.




The Department is implementing an aggressive cast-iron replacement program, replacing or lining nearly 107,000 linear feet of outdated water mains. City of Lynwood The City of Lynwood has pumping rights to 5,537 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. The City augments this supply with imported water provided by the Central Basin MWD. The City currently has six wells with a total production capacity of 5,900 gallons per minute. The City is in the process of completing a new Water System Master Plan which will provide a framework for future Capital Improvements. Examples of current capital improvement projects include construction of a well, water meter replacement, improvements to mains and treatment systems, and an imported water connection. Infrastructure needs identified include aging water mains and low pressure areas. The City reported that funding constraints prevented the construction of new facilities and system upgrades. City of Norwalk Norwalk uses groundwater, imported water and recycled water to meet demand. The City has pumping rights to 1,267 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin. In 2002 the City only extracted 579 acre-feet. One well was taken out of service in 1999 due to contamination and the area is now served with imported water. In 2003 the City subleased 630 acre-feet of pumping rights to the City of Huntington Park with no carryover. The City currently has three active wells. In cooperation with the US Army Corps of Engineers, the City has begun the design of 3.3 million gallon reservoir that will be constructed on City-owned property. A new pumping facility is also being designed, to be constructed in the vicinity of the new reservoir. A new water well will be added as well as connection pipelines and connections to the high pressure fire pipeline. Current projects include valve replacement, a water sampling station and emergency interconnections. The City is also working with the Water Replenishment District through the State’s Safe Drinking Water Program to design and construct a filtration system to treat one well. The WRD is providing 75% of the funding. City of Paramount The City of Paramount relies on groundwater and imported water as its sources of supply. The City has pumping rights for 5,883 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. In addition, the City has an allotment of 2,288 acre-feet per year for imported water from the Central Basin MWD. The City does offer a water conservation program.




The City has two wells; water quality is an issue as manganese levels have exceed the maximum contaminant limits. Recycled water is available within the City through the Central Basin MWD’s recycled water system. The City maintains three interconnections with the Long Beach Water Department, including both groundwater and imported water. The interconnections are an alternate source for when the Central Basin MWD’s connections are shut down for maintenance or repair. The connections are also a potential emergency source. The City has a Capital Improvements Program and has budgeted for improvements to the water system. City of Pico Rivera The Pico Rivera Water Authority (PRWA) relies on groundwater for its primary source of supply, supplemented by imported water. PRWA has pumping rights to 5,579 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. To augment this supply the Authority leases water rights if needed. PRWA has ten active wells which are treated for chlorination and fluoridation. The City noted that it has sufficient capacity to service any potential new connections in the central and northern zones of the system. There are three standby wells in the northern zone. PRWA is upgrading the electrical panels in the pumping plants which are 30 to 50 years old. Some older water mains in the northern zone of the system need to be replaced. Current capital projects include security fencing around wells, groundwater testing and remediation, and general upgrades such as meter and water main replacement and reservoir upgrades. PRWA has emergency interconnections with the City of Whittier and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company. In 2000 the City was awarded the Bronze Medal for the quality and taste of its municipal water. City of Santa Fe Springs The City of Santa Fe Springs primarily serves a commercial/industrial customer base. The City’s water supply is comprised of groundwater, imported water, and recycled water. The City has pumping rights for 4,035 acre-feet per year from the Central Basin. The City has vacant land; approximately 200 acres within the City’s water service area are currently unserved. Conservation programs are offered in conjunction with the Central Basin MWD. The City expects that domestic water use will decrease as some industrial uses convert to recycled water. The City noted that a new well is needed, although planning has not occurred yet. In addition, two water wells need to be replaced; one is planned and funded, the other is unfunded. The City has an emergency connection with the City of Cerritos which is pressure actuated and flows in both directions. Current approved capital projects include a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system; water main extensions, update of the Water System Master Plan, and a recycled water main extension.




City of Signal Hill The City of Signal Hill has pumping rights to 2,022 acre-feet annually. In response to expected increases in demand, Signal Hill recently completed a feasibility study for recycled water that identifies potential customers, facilities needed, and an includes an economic analysis. In September 2005 the City is changing its disinfection treatment from chlorine to chloramines. The City has four current Capital Improvement Projects, including a 12-inch Hilltop Loop Line, adding an additional pressure water loop on the Hilltop, the Temple Avenue Reservoir and Pump Station, and the Gundry well valve replacement. The roof will be replaced on the Gundry Reservoir in fall 2005 which will require the facility being taken out of service for five months City of South Gate The City of South Gate uses groundwater as its primary source of supply, supplemented by recycled water for industrial and irrigation use. The City has pumping rights to 11,183 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin. Additional water rights are leased as needed to meet demand. The City has nine active wells and three standby wells. Treatment is provided on four of the wells for VOCs. The City is planning to construct a new well to replace two existing wells. New storage facilities with a capacity of 1.8 million gallons will be added as well. In 1996 the City completed a Master Planning study that addresses the water system along with other infrastructure. The City has nine emergency connections with adjacent water purveyors. The 2005-2006 Capital Improvements Program includes funding for a reservoir fuel tank replacement and water well site improvements. City of Vernon The City of Vernon relies on groundwater from the Central Basin as its primary source of supply. In 2003 the City began using imported water from the Central Basin MWD to supplement supply. The City has pumping rights to 8,039 acre-feet annually and leases additional water rights as needed. The City has an allotment of 3,010 acre-feet annually for imported water. Water conservation services are not provided. The City has exceeded the action level for perchlorate and the Maximum Contaminant Level for 1,2 DCA. The City is considering adding treatment facilities for these two contaminants. The City has a direct connection to the Metropolitan feeder pipeline, which can serve as an emergency supply in the event of a major power outage. The City’s water system has a Class 1 rating from the ISO, the highest rating available. The City continues to upgrade its water system. Meters are being changed out to ensure accurate readings. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has been added which allows staff to monitor and make changes to distribution and production facilities.

City of Whittier The City of Whittier relies on groundwater for its source of supply, supplemented by recycled water for irrigation use. The City has pumping rights to 895 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin and 8,700 acre-feet from the Main San Gabriel Basin. The City has a water conservation program that offers education and conservation devices. The City has experienced some groundwater quality issues with wells exceeding the maximum contaminant limits for PCE and TCE. The City noted that it needs to replace three reservoirs that have a capacity of 8 million gallons. Financing and right of way issues are a constraint. One reservoir, constructed in 1931 with a capacity of 9.75 million gallons, has been taken out of service due to safety concerns.

– SPECIAL DISTRICTS –

Central Basin Municipal Water District The Central Basin Municipal Water District is a member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and serves as a wholesale provider for imported water in the Gateway region. The District is closely related to, and shares administrative facilities with the West Basin Municipal Water District. Central Basin MWD’s service area overlies the adjudicated Central Basin. Although the District does not have groundwater rights, it is actively involved in the management of the Basin, including replenishment and conjunctive use. Groundwater is intended to be the primary water source in the area, with imported water used as a supplement. Groundwater and recycled water effectively meet a significant portion of the area’s water demands. Central Basin MWD provides imported water to 24 cities as well as numerous mutual water companies, investor-owned utilities, water districts and private companies within its service area. Most of these entities has its own connection to the Metropolitan system or takes delivery through an adjoining agency; Central Basin MWD does not store, treat or physically deliver any of the imported water. Central Basin MWD relies on Metropolitan for planning, forecasting future demand, and maintaining a reliable supply. In the early 1990’s the Central Basin MWD expanded its services to include aggressive programs for water conservation and water recycling. Demand for recycled water is growing for use in a variety of applications such as landscape irrigation, cooling towers, refineries, street sweeping, and toilet flushing. The Central Basin MWD’s infrastructure is primarily related to its recycled water delivery system and groundwater protection. The imported water treatment and delivery system is under the purview of Metropolitan. Contaminated groundwater from the San Gabriel Basin has entered the Central Basin. The District is constructing a capture well system to prevent the contamination from migrating further south




into the main Central Basin aquifers. The project includes 3 capture wells, a pump station, pipelines to dispose of the water, and treatment facilities to meet drinking water quality standards. La Habra Heights County Water District The La Habra Heights CWD has pumping rights to 2,498 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin. The District augments this supply with imported water from the Central Basin MWD. The District has four wells in production and the booster plant was constructed in 2000. All facilities are in good condition. The District has emergency interties with the California Domestic Water Company and the Suburban Water Company. The La Habra Heights CWD service area is divided into upper and lower service zones. La Habra Heights and the Orchard Dale WD have jointly constructed two new wells and a 4 million-gallon reservoir. La Habra Heights is planning to construct additional storage facilities for the upper zone. Other recommendations in the District’s Master Plan include replacing three older wells within the next ten years, upgrade or replace booster pump stations when efficiency falls below 65%, install backup power generators, and construct distribution system improvements to increase fire suppression capabilities in specific areas. The District has received a Class 1 ISO rating for its water system, the highest rating available. Orchard Dale Water District The Orchard Dale WD relies on both groundwater and imported water. The District has pumping rights for 1,107 acre-feet of groundwater and has a base allocation of 1,750 acre-feet per year for imported water through Central Basin MWD. In 2002, the District only extracted 1,002 AF of groundwater and took deliver of 1,359 acre-feet of imported water, well below its allotment. The District uses the conservation programs offered by the Central Basin MWD. Recycled water from the Central Basin MWD is expected to be available in Orchard’s service area before 2010. The District’s treatment facilities were constructed in 1973 and are in good condition. The District has five reservoirs for potable storage, constructed between 1959 and 1973; all are in good condition. In addition to the joint facilities constructed with the La Habra Heights CWD, Orchard Dale has also built a new District office and maintenance facility, installed new disinfection equipment, upgraded two pump stations, and replaced control valves at reservoirs and at the MWD connection. The District has also installed new system operating controls with security enhancements. The District has one emergency intertie with the Suburban Water Company. No infrastructure needs or deficiencies were noted by the District, and there are no areas with excess capacity.




Pico Water District The Pico Water District relies on groundwater for its source of supply. The District holds pumping rights for 3,624 acre-feet per year. In the future, the District will require new development to secure additional water rights as a condition of approval. The District does not provide water conservation services and expects that water demand will increase to 3,900 acre-feet per year due to redevelopment within its service area. The District has seven wells; six are in good condition and have no contamination. The seventh well is no longer used due to high iron levels and radon. The storage reservoir was constructed in 1959 and is in good condition. Sativa – Los Angeles County Water District The Sativa-Los Angeles CWD is dependent on groundwater for its source of supply. Sativa has pumping rights for 474 acre-feet per year and leases additional water rights to meet demand of 828 acre-feet. The District does not provide water conservation services. The District has four treatment plant locations and has three active wells with one inactive well. The treatment facilities were constructed in 1938 and are reported in good condition. The District received a grant from the Central Basin MWD for reconstruction of a water tank. The District noted that water mains need to be upgraded, relocating services from the rear of properties and alley ways in order to prevent structures being built over service lines. This would also improve access for routine service and emergencies. Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District is responsible for groundwater management in the West and Central Groundwater Basins. As such, it provides groundwater recharge programs as well as seawater intrusion barriers and groundwater cleanup. The District has an extensive Capital Improvements Program that includes ASR wells, pipelines, desalter expansion, spreading grounds, water treatment facilities and rubber dams on the San Gabriel River. The District partners with other agencies on a number of its projects in order to leverage resources.




3.3 FINANCING CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

3.3.1 Revenue Source and Funding The water agencies included in this service review receive the majority of their revenue from water sales and user fees and charges. Most are operating as an enterprise activity such that revenues are expected to cover all water utility related expenses. However, escalating costs associated with personnel and benefits as well as cost increases for water purchases represent common financing constraints. Rate stabilization is a priority, and the agencies are not always able to pass on the full incremental cost increase within a given year. In additional to internal cost increases, the agencies are subject to the pressures of revenue changes implemented by outside agencies. The State budget act of 2004 significantly changed how local revenues are allocated. Each of the cities will be required to contribute to the State’s general fund for FY 2004-2005 and FY 2005-2006, which may impact the water utilities in some way through inter-fund transfers and more stringent cost allocations. Proposition 1A, approved by voters in November 2004, establishes limitations and protects local revenues from State re-allocations in the future. The impact of the revenue changes in 2004 will likely impact the cities for several years as they seek to recover and restore programs to levels that residents have come to expect. 3.3.2 Revenues and Expenses Comparison

Each of the cities accounts for its water utility service through a proprietary or enterprise fund. This enables them to track direct and related revenue and expenses as well as cost allocations from other municipal departments providing related services. The following Figure 3.2 –2003-2004 Financial Information, compares the revenues, expenses, reserves and capital improvement program costs of each public water agency reviewed. In cases where FY 2004 was not provided, FY 2003 was used. This does not create a material discrepancy for data evaluation as it provides some measure of past financial condition.

City of Lynwood The City of Lynwood last increased water rates in 1995. The City has a flat rate structure. City of Norwalk The City of Norwalk increased its water rates in July 2004. The City uses a flat rate structure. City of Paramount The City of Paramount increased water rates effective January 1, 2005. The City uses a two-tiered rate structure, with usage levels determined by three seasons – January through April, May through August, and September through December. The warmer months allow for slightly higher usage at the first tier prices. City of Pico Rivera The City of Pico Rivera increased water rates effective October 1, 2003. The City has a flat rate structure. It also charges a power charge based on the City’s actual cost of power used for pumping during each billing cycle. There is also a surcharge based on changes to the base line amount charged by the Water Replenishment District. In addition, there is an Equipment and Improvement charge of $0.02 per each




hundred cubic feet of usage. This charge is automatically adjusted each July 1 based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers for Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange Counties during the prior fiscal year. City of Santa Fe Springs The City of Santa Fe Springs recently increased rates effective September 1, 2005. The City has a three-tiered rate structure for potable water and four tiers for recycled water. City of Signal Hill The City of Signal Hill increased rates 4% in 2004.

The increase is based on the change in the Consumer Price Index. The City uses a flat rate structure.


Central Basin Municipal Water District The Central Basin Municipal Water District sets rates annually based on changes in the cost of water from Metropolitan or production costs for recycled water. For imported water, Central Basin uses Metropolitan’s rate structure for Tier 1, Tier 2 and seasonal long term storage and adds a surcharge of $37 per acre foot at each level. Metropolitan imposes a Readiness-to-Serve charge which Central Basin passes through to retailers by including it in the commodity rate. The District also charges a capacity reservation charge and monthly water service charge of $30 per cfs (cubic feet per second) as determined by meter capacity. Imported rates as of January 1, 2004 are as follows:

Tier 1: Non-interruptible and Barrier $467/AF Tier 2: Non-interruptible and Barrier $548/AF Seasonal Spreading $270/AF Seasonal Long Term Storage $337/AF

Recycled water is generally more costly to produce and the price often exceeds that of imported water; however Central Basin has received financial incentives from Metropolitan in the past that make recycled




water more cost-effective. The District reviews recycled water rates annually and has a rate structure that is based on volume and delivery location. The recycled water rates for 2004 range from $290/AF down to $230/AF for tertiary treated water delivered within the Central Basin service area. Rates for water sold outside the Central Basin service area are priced at $20 more per acre foot. La Habra Heights County Water District The La Habra Heights County Water District completed a water rate study in 2001. The District charges a flat rate, but the price differs between the two zones due to energy costs to pump water to the higher zone. Orchard Dale Water District The Orchard Dale WD uses a flat rate structure. A 13% rate increase was instituted in January 2003. Prior rate adjustments occurred in 1993 and 1995. Pico Water District The Pico WD uses a three-tiered rate structure and collects a surcharge to cover unfunded State and Federal mandates, AB 11 costs and power use. Water usage rates have not changed in the past ten years. Sativa – Los Angeles County Water District The Sativa-Los Angeles CWD does not have metered accounts and charges a flat rate for water service. The rate was increased 2.5% per month effective July 1, 2005. Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District reviews its rate annually and makes adjustments based on costs. The District charges a flat per acre-foot rate based on the amount of groundwater extracted.




3.7 GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS Some of the agencies are providing service outside their current boundaries; per Government Code §56133 (e), out of agency agreements that were in place prior to January 1, 2001 do not require LAFCo approval. No alternative government structure options were noted, except as discussed below. The City of Norwalk noted that the City would be better provided if the entire City were serviced by the City’s water utility. This would expand the rate base to allow timely capital improvements while providing lower cost service with high water quality. However, this is not a boundary issue that LAFCO has jurisdiction over as the other purveyors are private entities. The City would need to seek other avenues to expand its service area, such as acquisition or eminent domain. The Central Basin Municipal Water District noted that it is providing recycled water to one connection within its sphere of influence but outside its boundaries. Central Basin should ensure that LAFCO has a current map of all out-of-agency service areas as well as copies of the agreements. The Water Replenishment District is currently evaluating the possibility of annexing areas of the Central Groundwater Basin that are not currently within the District’s boundary. Some areas such as the area between the District’s northern boundary and the Hollywood Groundwater Basin do not have active groundwater management. LAFCO may consider increasing the District’s sphere of influence to include adjacent areas where groundwater resources are not actively managed. Benefits include more effective groundwater management and economies of scale. However, this may result in a new charge for groundwater extracted within the annexing area. Due to the size of its service area, condition of the infrastructure, and financial resources, it is recommended that LAFCO consider adopting a zero sphere of influence for the Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District. The District is adjacent to the City of Compton. The District serves a half-square mile area and is not projecting for any growth. There are no metered accounts and no funding has been allocated for capital improvements. With a zero sphere of influence, the District will continue to operate. However, the area may be added to the sphere of another agency with the objective that eventually service would be provided by the other agency at some point in the future. Los Angles LAFCO should initiate discussions with the District to determine if a reorganization might increase efficiencies and reach economies of scale.
