LEADERSHIP | PARTNERSHIP | STEWARDSHIP
HONORABLE CHAIRMAN,
GOVERNING BOARD &
DISTRICT RATEPAYERS:
Since January 2016, East Valley Water District’s
(EVWD or District) management team and staff
worked to develop a balanced budget for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2016-17 that has been presented to the
Governing Board at three separate workshops
throughout a systematic process. The result of
this collaborative effort is the following budget
document, which serves as the guide for the
implementation and operation of District projects
and programs. By having this concise document,
there is clear direction to focus on sound financial
management, service to the community, efficient
program operation, achievable goals and objectives,
and on-going transparent communication.
STRATEGIC GOALS & STRATEGIES
As a performance based organization, each program
has established specific goals and objectives for
this budget period. By having unique targets, staff
can implement and achieve measurable results that
have been designed to encourage world class public
service. Program budgets have been developed
based on the goals and objectives, thus building on
a foundation of priorities and principles established
by the Governing Board. This process empowers
staff to utilize their expert knowledge of upcoming
regulatory requirements, legislative changes, policy
guidelines, and other situational factors.
PRIORITIES & ISSUES
Overall fiscal management establishes a framework
for evaluating ever changing circumstances and
conditions that are critical for effective decision
making. Throughout the year, programs are
managed by staff and brought to the Governing
Board through standing committees, regular
board meetings and special meetings. This on-
going communication between the policy-makers
and staff allows for a better understanding of the
effectiveness of programs and the ability to make
adjustments as necessary throughout development
and implementation.

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2016-2017page. 2
As a result of the extensive budget development
process, the District has produced a balanced
budget with expenditures estimated to total
$35,717,000. This effort took into consideration
the on-going impacts of water conservation on
revenues and rebate programs, the potential for
new developments within the service area, and
the need to continue the implementation of a
strategic capital improvement plan. Projects and
programs were prioritized based on needs and
benefits to the community as part of a long-term
plan. FY 2016-17 differs from previous budget years
because of the ability to more accurately estimate
revenues resulting from the budget based rate
system, the rate changes going into effect on July
1 for both water and sewer fees, and the utilization
of state grants. With these financial management
procedures in place, the budget document has
been created with detailed projections while still
allowing the organization to function in a world
class manner.

ORDER TO MEET SHORT
AND LONG-TERM NEEDS
SHORT TERM ORGANIZATION-
WIDE FACTORS
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
All District operations are based on the commitment
to providing world class public service and innovative
leadership. This philosophy is an integral part of all
projects and programs and requires continuous
assessment and improvement implementation.
SYSTEM RELIABILITY
The current water and wastewater master plans
have identified the need for a number of capital
improvements. Projects included within this budget
focus on decreasing water losses, increasing
system efficiency, and enhancing emergency
response capabilities. Selection of these projects
have been based on the evaluation of the positive
impact that they will each have on customers,
maintaining existing facilities, and continuing to
meet local, state, and federal requirements.
LABOR AND BENEFITS
As a performance based organization, current
staffing vacancies and additional needs are
evaluated to ensure the District maintains the
most effective personnel levels by recruiting
and maintaining a high quality workforce. Major
factors that impact labor and benefits in FY 2016-17
include the staffing analysis for the Sterling Natural
Resource Center, cost of living adjustment, and
the final phase of transitioning the full 8 percent
employee obligation of the CalPERS retirement
obligation to staff.
CALIFORNIA DROUGHT
California is in the fourth consecutive year of
drought. While the State as a whole received rainfall
in March and April 2016, the long-term effects
of the previous years on water supplies remain.
Additionally, emergency regulations are in effect
with the State Water Resources Control Board
actively working to develop more permanent and
sustainable water use efficiency guidelines. The
District continues to encourage the community to
conserve water where possible and to serve as an
educational resource.
DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE
WATER SUPPLIES
San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District
(Valley District), in cooperation with East Valley
Water District, is working to construct the Sterling
Natural Resource Center to treat up to 10 million
gallons per day of recycled water to replenish the
local groundwater basin. Valley District certified
the Environmental Impact Report in early 2016, and
continues with regulatory approvals, permitting, and
is expected to being procurement in FY 2016-17.

In our effort to compile the budget in a manner
consistent with industry recommendation, this
document has been prepared based on the
Government Finance Officers Association’s
(GFOA’s) guidelines. Since FY 2013-14, the District
has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award and is confident that we continue to meet or
exceed the program requirements. We will submit
the FY 2016-17 Budget for award consideration to
the GFOA and believe it is an example of the highest
level of financial reporting.
As a public agency, we believe that our
responsibilities go beyond maintaining pipeline and
groundwater wells. We try to do all that we can to
enhance the quality of life of the communities that we
serve. This budget document is a guideline for staff
to implement projects and programs throughout the
year. Additionally, staff at all levels of the organization
have participated in the development in this highly
critical, yet easily understood document that has
been designed for a broad audience. On behalf of
our Governing Board as the organization’s policy-
makers, I commend the commitment of District staff
to produce a world class budget, and appreciate
our valued community members, whom we are
honored and privileged to serve.
Respectfully submitted,

WATER SOURCES
With a service area just over 30 square-miles, the
District has three sources for water, the Santa Ana
River, the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, and the
State Water Project. The Santa Ana River starts
with natural springs and snow melt high in the
San Bernardino Mountains. Groundwater is drawn
from the Bunker Hill Basin, a natural underground
storage area made up of soil, sand, and gravel. A
small portion of the District’s water is imported
from Northern California through the State Water
Project. EVWD has access to this water through San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District.

WASTEWATER COLLECTION &
TREATMENT
The District is responsible for the collection and
conveyance of wastewater within the service
area. Currently, all wastewater is sent to the San
Bernardino Municipal Water Department facilities,
where it is treated in accordance with a Joint
Powers Agreement. In order to create a new source
of supply, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District, in cooperation with EVWD, is proposing
to construct the Sterling Natural Resource Center
(SNRC) facility in the City of Highland that will
treat up to 10 million gallons of wastewater daily
and recharge it into the Bunker Hill groundwater
basin, where hundreds of millions of gallons of
water can be stored for use in dry years. The
proposed project would provide the region with the
opportunity to produce a new supply of recycled
water for beneficial reuse higher in the Santa Ana
River watershed. This project could also provide
an opportunity for potential new and/or enhanced
riparian and aquatic habitats in City Creek.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
An in-depth District-wide overview of the FY 2016-17 budget.
BUDGET OVERVIEW
East Valley Water District utilizes program-based
budgeting. Therefore, requested funds are
associated with program goals and objectives.
Performance is then reviewed on a quarterly basis
with the Board of Directors. This performance based
strategy provides the ability to monitor expenses
related to a particular program or activity and track
measurable benefits. Program-based budgeting
results can be used in cost-benefit analyses, just as
it would be in a business environment to determine
the value of decisions and enhance transparency.
District staff has developed program goals and
objectives that can be directly related back to the
District Vision. By adopting this vision and clearly
identifying the road to achieve it, ratepayers and
the Board of Directors can more easily see where
dollars are invested, monitor the effectiveness of
programs, and increase policy engagement. The
following Budget Highlights discuss changes in
program activities that influenced the development
of the FY 2016-17 Budget.

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2016-2017page. 16
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The proposed budget for FY 2016-17 is balanced
with projected revenue equal to total expenditures
and reserve contributions of $35,717,000. The
prior year budget was adopted with a deficit of
$3,364,000 as a withdrawal from reserves was
required to purchase land for the Sterling Natural
Resource Center water recycling center.
LABOR AND BENEFITS
Labor and benefits costs are projected to increase
by 9 percent compared to the prior year adopted
budget. No new positions have been requested
for the 2016-17 fiscal year, however, the proposed
budget includes the full-year effect of two positions
added during the 2015-16 year. These consist of two
water service workers hired to fully staff a second
water main repair crew made necessary due to a
high number of main leak responses in the older
sections of the District’s service area.
An increase in benefit costs has been projected as
the District continues to make scheduled payments
toward reducing an unfunded actuarial liability
(UAL) related to the District’s CalPERS pension plan.
WATER SUPPLY
The California State Water Resources Control Board
has announced that State Water Project deliveries
to Southern California will increase significantly
in 2016-17 as a result of El Niño winter storms. In
order to take advantage of this water availability,
the District has increased its budget for purchased
water by $550,000 to buy water for use in its
current water supply mix, or to use for groundwater
recharge.
ELECTRICAL POWER
The District realized significant power cost savings
in FY 2015-16 as a result of two efforts: 1) the
implementation of energy conservation measures
recommended by a consultant after a thorough
review of District water production operations,
and 2) continued efforts by production staff to
pump only during non-peak energy demand hours
to avoid higher electricity rates. The FY 2016-17
budget for power costs has been reduced by 39
percent to reflect these energy savings efforts,
and to reflect reduced costs associated with lower
water consumption by District ratepayers.
CONSERVATION
District efforts to comply with the Governor’s April
2015 Executive Order to reduce water consumption
by 28 percent included budgeting $1,000,000
in FY 2015-16 for direct conservation rebates to
customers. Due to partial drought relief delivered
by El Niño winter storms, the 28 percent mandate
has been replaced by a collaborative approach to
setting conservation goals for the next three years.
As a result of this change, the District has reduced
the direct rebate program budget by 50 percent for
2016-17, but will continue to encourage responsible
water use through education and outreach efforts.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
The City of San Bernardino currently treats
wastewater flows from East Valley Water District,
in accordance with a Joint Powers Agreement,
and is responsible for establishing wastewater
treatment rates. A City rate increase effective July
1, 2016 will increase the District’s treatment costs by
approximately 5 percent.
RECYCLED WATER CENTER
The District is aggressively planning the
construction of a recycled water facility, to be called
the Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC), which
will provide a reliable, sustainable water supply
for future residents. While the construction project
is included in the capital budget, planning for the
implementation of this new enterprise activity
impacts the FY 2016-17 budgets of programs
throughout the District. Staffing plans, public
outreach, financial reporting, and technology
studies related to the SNRC have all contributed to
a 22 percent increase in Contract Services over the
prior year.
DEBT SERVICE
Debt service costs will increase by 10 percent as
the District begins repayment on a loan from the
San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District
(SBVMWD). SBVMWD is the regional contractor for
the State Water Project, which delivers Northern
California water to agencies in Southern California.
The purpose of the loan is to finance construction
of a State Water Project turnout and hydroelectric
generation facility at the District’s Plant 134.
Construction is scheduled for completion in FY
2016-17.
EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT page. 17
CAPITAL NEEDS
Continued contributions to capital investments
are a priority for the District. The District continues
to evaluate vehicles and equipment as well as
infrastructure to ensure proper planning and
funding for replacement. A priority for the District for
FY 2016-17 is the replacement of aging mainlines,
and addressing water storage capacity deficiencies.
The capital budget includes projects to address
both of these priorities; and also identifies funding
resources which include State Revolving Fund loan
and grants, funding from operating revenue, and
funding from replacement reserves.
THE DISTRICT’S COMMITMENT TO WORLD CLASS PUBLIC
SERVICE IS DEMONSTRATED BY A SOUND FINANCIAL PLAN.

WASTEWATERFUND
WATER FUND
FUND STRUCTURE
FUND
STRUCTURE
A California special district, EVWD engages in
two separate and distinct business-type activities,
including:
• Acquisition, treatment and distribution of
potable water, and the construction, repair and
replacement of related infrastructure, and
• Collection of domestic and industrial
wastewater, and the construction, repair and
replacement of conveyance facilities
Accordingly, the District’s budget is organized on
the basis of two major enterprise funds - water and
wastewater. Each enterprise fund is considered a
separate budgetary and accounting entity, reported
on a full accrual accounting basis with the exceptions
noted in the Basis of Budgeting section on page 21
of this document.
Each fund is a separate fiscal entity with its own self
balancing set of accounts, and rates and budgets
are adopted for each to support the associated
operating and capital costs. Each enterprise fund
records cash and financial resources, together with
all related liabilities and residual equity balances.
Operations and maintenance programs are
supported by the financial resources of each fund
in accordance with the allocations presented later
in this section.
FUND/PROGRAM
RELATIONSHIP
Operating expenses incurred by each of the
District’s programs are allocated to the water and
wastewater funds based on the assumed benefit of
each service to each fund. The Benefit Assessment
entailed the evaluation of each program and the
services provided through activity based costing.
With the implementation of water budget based
rates, more costs were shifted from the Wastewater
Fund to the Water Fund due to the increased cost
of administering the new rates. A table illustrating
the Fund/Program relationship for the current fiscal
year is on the following page.

EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT page. 21
BASIS OF BUDGETING
The District’s financial records are kept in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) for governmental enterprise
funds. The District follows the GAAP requirement
that enterprise funds use the full accrual basis of
accounting. However, there are exceptions where
the accrual basis is not conducive to effective
presentation of the District’s budget, in which case,
GAAP is not followed. Those exceptions are as
follows:
• Compensated absence liabilities that are
expected to be liquidated with current
expendable financial resources are accrued
as earned by employees (GAAP standard) as
opposed to being expended when paid (budget
procedure).
• Principal payments on Long Term Debt are
applied to the outstanding liability on a GAAP
basis, as opposed to being expended on a
Budget basis.
• Capital Outlay are capitalized on a GAAP basis,
however, on a Budget basis, they are treated as
expenditures.
• Depreciation expense is recorded on a GAAP
basis but is not contemplated on the Budget
basis.
• Interest expenditures are capitalized during
construction on a GAAP basis, but are reported
as an expense on a Budget basis.
• Pension expense is budgeted based on
employer contribution rates assigned by
CalPERS. For financial statement reporting,
pension expense is recorded based on the
change in the net pension liability in accordance
with GASB 68.
The activities of enterprise funds closely resemble
those of ongoing businesses in which the purpose
is to conserve and add to resources while meeting
operating expenses from current revenues.
Enterprise funds account for operations that provide
services on a continuous basis and, in the case
of East Valley Water District, are entirely financed
by revenues derived from user charges. The
District maintains a self-balancing set of accounts
established to record the financial position and
operating results that pertain to each activity.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
EVWD’s financial management policies provide a
basic framework for the overall fiscal management
of the District. The policies represent a foundation
for addressing changing circumstances and
conditions, and to assist in the decision-making
process. Financial policies represent guidelines for
evaluating both current activities and proposals for
future programs. They also reflect long-standing
principles and practices, which have enabled the
District to maintain its financial stability. Policies
are reviewed annually to ensure the guidelines
represent a realistic, current framework for policy
decisions.
BALANCED BUDGET
East Valley Water District shall prepare an itemized
budget for each fund and each program within
those funds. The budgets will be balanced, with
current revenues equal to or greater than current
expenditures/expenses using the following
strategies: improve productivity; raise fees to offset
costs of providing services and/or use reserves if
available.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The District’s Investment Policy applies to the
investment of short-term operating funds of the
District in excess of those funds required to meet
current District expenditures. District policy requires
adherence to California Government Code sections
5921 and 53601 regarding allowable investments.
The policy also includes guidelines on Pooling of
Funds, Safety, Liquidity, Yield, Prudence, Ethical
Standards, Risk, Diversification, and Reporting.
RESERVE POLICY
The District recognizes that fiscal responsibility
requires anticipating, and preparing for, unforeseen
events, in addition to ensuring sufficient funding
is available for current operating, capital, and
debt service needs. To that end, the District has
adopted a Designated Funds (Reserve) Policy as
part of prudent financial planning and to ensure
sufficient funding for current and future needs.
The Designated Funds Policy has established the
following reserves and reserve target levels:
• Operating Reserves – maintain 90 days of
District’s budgeted total operating expenses;
FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2016-2017page. 22
• Rate Stabilization Reserves – maintain 45 days
of District’s budgeted total operating expenses;
• Capital Replacement Reserves – minimum of
100 percent of depreciation expense for the
preceding year;
• Emergency Reserves – 2 percent of the total
value of Plant and Equipment.
DEBT POLICY
The District has adopted a policy regarding the
utilization of debt. Standards established in this
policy require:
• An equitable allocation of capital costs/charges
between current and future system users;
• Minimum rate volatility.
In addition, the District confines long-term borrowing
to capital improvements for projects that cannot be
financed from current revenues. When the District
finances capital projects by issuing bonds, it will
pay back the bonds within a period not to exceed
the estimated useful life of the asset. The District
maintains good communication with bond rating
agencies regarding financial condition and will
follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial
report. The District has no legal debt limits.
THIS ORGANIZATION TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN A
COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP, PARTNERSHIP AND
STEWARDSHIP IN ALL OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES.

BUDGET PROCESS
The budget reflects direction from the Governing
Board as established by the District Vision and
communicated to District staff through various
meetings and workshops. The purpose of this
budget document is to communicate the District’s
financial priorities with citizens, local businesses,
creditors, rating agencies, other local agencies
and stakeholders, and District staff. The Fiscal Year
2016-17 Budget represents guidelines established
to address the District’s short-term and long-
term goals and objectives. This document also
demonstrates the District’s ability to use financial
resources for completing critical capital projects for
current and future customers as well as the District’s
commitment to meet its financial obligations. Staff is
confident that the financial framework outlined in the
FY 2016-17 Budget will allow the District to deliver
reliable, high-quality water and wastewater services
to its customers in a prudent and sustainable
manner.
Each year programs establish goals and objectives
in support of the District’s ideals and endeavors that
provide clear direction to staff regarding District-
wide priorities. Progress is measured throughout
the fiscal year and reported to the Governing Board
on a quarterly basis.
Moreover, in developing the budget, staff utilized
the District Vision for prioritizing District resources
for operational and capital activities.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
In January of each year, District management meets
to analyze revenues and spending to determine, if
any, where transfers between budget line items are
necessary in order to ensure that budget limitations
are not exceeded. Managers and supervisors will
submit requests for transfers prior to the Mid-Year
budget review and authorized staff will review
the requests and submit them to the Board for
approval. When possible, transfers have no net
effect on the original budget balance. However,
if revenue shortfalls or unanticipated costs are
realized, and transfers between line items cannot
meet the projected deficit, projects are evaluated
and a determination of either projects deferral or
draws on reserves is made to meet the shortfall. All
proposed changes are presented to the Governing
Board at a Mid-Year budget review.
STAKEHOLDER INPUT
The District holds a number of public meetings in
order to allow community members, customers,
government agencies, and community organizations
to provide comments and suggestions during the
budget process.
DISTRICT VISION
In an effort to ensure consistent purpose, East
Valley Water District has adopted a comprehensive
statement that serves as a guide for the decision-
making process throughout the organization.

REVENUES
East Valley Water District receives 97 percent of
its revenue from user rates and fees; the District
receives no increment from property or sales taxes.
Rates and fees are reviewed on 3 to 5 year cycles
and are adjusted as necessary to cover the costs
of providing services to ratepayers. The District
derives its authority for setting rates from §31000
of the California Water Code, and rate adjustments
are adopted at public hearings conducted in
accordance with requirements established by
California Propositions 26 and/or 218.
The District has four major revenue categories
based on rates:
• Water sales are based on the volume of water
used by a customer during a billing period
• Meter charges are fixed monthly charges
assessed to customers based on the size of the
service connection to their property
• Wastewater collection charges are 1) fixed
monthly charges for single family residences,
and 2) a combination of fixed and volumetric
charges for commercial and multi-family
customers
• Wastewater treatment rates are established
by, and revenue remitted to, the City of San
Bernardino Municipal Water Department, which
is currently contracted to treat all wastewater
generated by District customers.
Other charges are assessed according to an
adopted fee schedule, but are only charged to users
who request, or require, use of District resources

WATER REVENUE
WASTEWATER REVENUE
Water and wastewater rate revenues are highly
reliant on new development and rate increases for
sustained growth. Water sales are also reliant on
consumer demand, which increases or decreases
based on weather and water rates. The multi-year
drought in California has forced the District, and
like agencies, to promote conservation and reduce
water usage by a statewide average of 25 percent,
causing a sharp drop in revenue. At the same
time, development has been virtually non-existent
for several years, leading agencies to turn to rate
adjustments for fiscal sustainability.
The District’s water sales and meter charge revenue
are expected to increase through fiscal year 2017-
18 due to rate adjustments adopted in March 2015.
These adjustments included a fundamental shift in
how costs are recovered, increasing the percent
of revenue collected through fixed meter charges
from 15 percent to 26 percent of total revenue. This
shift ensures a higher level of revenue stability, and
fiscal sustainability for the District in the future.
Wastewater collection rates have not been adjusted
since 2012 so wastewater collection revenue has
remained flat at $4.4 million over the past four years.
Wastewater treatment rates, established by the City
of San Bernardino, have scheduled increases in FY
2015-16 and FY 2016-17, leading to an increase in
wastewater revenue of 7 percent over those two
years. The District will conduct a wastewater cost
of service analysis in 2017 and consider adjusting
rates for wastewater collection services based on
that analysis.
EVWD has also been involved in planning meetings
with developers representing approximately 4,500
new homes to be built in the District’s service area
over the next 20-25 years. Accordingly, revenue
forecasts include growth of an estimated 200
dwelling units per year beginning in FY 2018-19.

LONG-RANGE
FINANCIAL PLAN
The long range financial plan provides a forward
looking view of the District’s operating funds,
allowing District management and others to evaluate
the long term sustainability of the operating budget.
It also provides a starting point for future decision
making regarding the District’s spending and
projected revenues.
As a water and wastewater utility, the Districts’
long term planning efforts have always included
consideration of the age, condition, and efficiency
of infrastructure used to deliver services to District
customers, along with compliance with water quality
regulations. In recent years, the preservation and
sustainability of water supplies has also become a
prominent issue in planning for future operations.
Based on these identified priorities, the District has
developed goals that will have a significant impact
on the District’s operating budget over the next few
years, including:
• Cost recovery through user rates versus
development fees
• Construction of a water recycling center (SNRC)
• Water Supply and Conservation
• Replacement of aging pipelines and increased
water storage capacity
The achievement of these goals is subject to
certain assumptions, but will remain a priority as
they support the District Vision and Organizational
Endeavors.

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2016-2017page. 30
RATES AND CHARGES
As discussed in the previous section, water and
wastewater rate revenue is expected to increase
over the next five years due to new development
and rate adjustments. Water rates were adjusted
in March 2015 with a three-year implementation,
and wastewater rates will be reviewed by an
independent financial consultant in FY 2016-17.
Any wastewater rates adjustments proposed by the
consultant will be considered in accordance with
requirements under California Proposition 218.
• Water sales are expected to grow $800,000
or 6 percent over the next five years due to
development and the addition of 200 new utility
accounts annually. Sales per capita is expected
to remain flat as conservation
• Meter charge revenue is expected to grow
by $840,000, or 9 percent between FY 2017
and FY 2021 due to rate adjustments and
development.
• Reclaimed water sales will be added as a new
revenue stream for the District upon completion
of the SNRC in FY 2018. Conservatively, the
SNRC will produce 4,000 acre feet of water
which can be sold for $250 per acre foot.
OPERATING COST FORECAST
Operating costs for the District included salaries and
benefits, maintenance and operation of the water
distribution and wastewater collection systems,
contract services and materials and supplies.
Salaries are adjusted in accordance with a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with
employees—the current MOU is in force through
June 2017. The MOU stipulates that employees are
eligible for 2.5 percent annual increases until they
reach the top of their salary range. In addition, as
a performance based organization, the District has
implemented performance incentives as a substitute
for annual cost of living adjustments (COLA). Under
the incentive program, each employee is eligible
for an annual incentive payment of 0 percent
to 5 percent of their base salary as a result of
performance evaluations by management.
Retirement plan contributions, which are based on
a percentage of salary, are expected to increase
4%–7% annually over the next five years as the
California Public Employees Retirement System
(CalPERS) implements a plan to improve the funding
status of the plan overall.
Staffing levels are expected to remain constant
through the completion of the Sterling Natural
Resource Center in December of 2017. Additional
staff required for operation of this facility is estimated
to be 4 full time employees at a cost of $600,000
annually in salaries and benefits beginning in fiscal
year 2017.
In general, contract services and supplies are
expected to increase 2 percent with inflation.
However, the scheduled completion of the Sterling
Natural Resource Center in December 2017 will
create a shift in costs from contracted wastewater
treatment, to other costs directly related to
operating a water recycling plant, such as sludge
removal, chemicals, contract services, and materials
and supplies.
DEBT SERVICE FORECAST
Debt service costs include principal and interest on
Revenue Bonds and Loans issued to finance system
improvements. Future debt service cost projections
include an additional loan from the State Revolving
Fund issued to finance the construction of the
SNRC. The final loan amount will not be determined
until the project is complete, however, the additional
debt related to this project is expected to increase
annual debt service from $4.3 million in FY 2017, to
$8.9 million in FY 2021.
REVENUE FUNDED CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES FORECAST
Revenue funded capital project spending is
projected to average $4.2 million over the next
five years. Projects included in the forecast are
discussed in the five year Capital Improvement
Program section of this budget.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
East Valley Water District defines capital expenditures
as 1) routine purchases and replacement of assets
with a cost exceeding $5,000 and an expected life of
more than two years, or 2) non-routine construction
project expenditures that will result in capitalization
of an asset costing more than $25,000.
The District’s FY 2016-17 capital budget contains $71
million in total capital expenditures. The majority of
these expenditures are ‘Year 1’ costs pertaining to
projects shown in the District’s Capital Improvement
Program, explained in detail in a separate section
of this budget document. The remaining proposed
capital expenditures of $691 thousand are routine
asset purchases, which appear in each year’s budget
as requests to replace vehicles, and computer and
office equipment. Details for these requests are
included in the Capital Outlay section of this budget.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Engineering Department is responsible for
planning and implementing major additions to,
and replacement of, the District’s infrastructure.
This includes plant and equipment related to the
treatment, storage, and distribution of water, and
the collection and transmission of wastewater for
treatment. The primary resources for these planning
efforts include the District’s Water Master Plan and
Wastewater Collection System Master Plan, both
updated in 2014. Projects included in the District’s
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) based on those
plans include:
• Water Main Replacements—the District has
scheduled the replacement of three water mains
due to age and their propensity to develop
leaks. Planned expenditures for FY 2016-17
are $1,255,000 to be funded by the water
replacement reserve.
• Canal Zone Storage Tank & Booster Station—
these facilities will combine to enhance water
delivery to one of the District’s highest elevation
pressure zones. Planned expenditures for FY
2016-17 are $1,215,000 to be funded by water
rates.
• Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI)—
this project involves four phases to replace all
District water meters with automated metering
technology, and will help the District realize
water and energy efficiencies, and will empower
customers to monitor water usage, and potentially
leaks, in near ‘real time’. Phase 1 is scheduled
for FY 2016-17 at a cost of $2,011,000 and will
be funded by a grant from the State of California
Department of Water Resources.

PROJECTS ARE PRIORITIZED AS REQUIRED FOR THE SAFE
AND RELIABLE DELIVERY OF WATER AND WASTEWATER
COLLECTION SERVICES TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
• Wastewater Main Replacements—the District
has scheduled the replacement of three sections
of sewer main pipeline, rated as high priority
due to the number of structural defects noted
during video logging of these pipelines. A fourth
pipeline has been scheduled for replacement as
it is undersized and at risk of surcharging during
heavy storms or new development. Planned
expenditures during FY 2016-17 are $4,115,000,
to be funded by wastewater rates and developer
impact fees.
• Facilities Rehabilitation/Relocation—this item
involves various projects such as recoating
water tanks, valve replacement, and improving
the aesthetics of buildings at plant sites; it
also provides a budget for relocating facilities
in conjunction with city street or storm drain
improvements. Planned expenditures for FY
2016-17 are $250,000 to be funded by water
rates.
• Wastewater Rate Study—this project involving
consultants and District staff will provide a
5-year review of the adequacy of the District’s
wastewater rates. FY 2016-17 costs will be
approximately $80,000 to be funded by
wastewater rates.
The District has also identified the need for projects
through regional planning efforts and included
those projects in the District’s Capital Improvement
Program. They include:
• Habitat Conservation Plan and Wash Plan—
these projects include participation of multiple
agencies in the upper Santa Ana River watershed
to address member agency disruption and
preservation of endangered species habitat.
Planned expenditures in FY 2016-17 are $360
thousand funded by operating revenue.
• SNRC Water Recycling Center—this joint project
would capture and treat District wastewater
flows at an elevation high enough to recharge
the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, rather than
releasing treated water into the Santa Ana River
for use downstream. Planned expenditures
in FY 2016-17 are $61 million, funded by State
Revolving Fund grants and low interest loans.

IMPACT OF CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS &
OPERATING BUDGET
The majority of the Capital Expenditures described in
the preceding section will have no impact on future
operating expenses, or will result in cost savings.
One exception is the Water Recycling Center which
will result in a major shift of costs, from contracted
treatment services, to costs associated with owning
and operating a District facility such as labor, power,
materials, and debt service. The following schedule
provides an estimate of the effect of CIP projects on
future operations:

DEBT
The District has established its own policies
regarding the utilization of debt instruments.
According to the District’s Debt Management
Policy, long-term borrowing is confined to capital
improvement for projects that cannot be financed
from current revenues. The District has a bond
rating of AA- as rated by the Standard & Poor’s
and Fitch ratings services. Bond rating is a credit
risk evaluation for investors and is the single most
important factor in determining the interest cost of
bonds issued. A rating of AA- is considered a high
quality investment grade rating.
The District has no statutory or charter debt limitation,
however, the bond covenants for the 2010 and
2013 Bonds, and funding / loan agreements for the
State Revolving Fund and Bank loans, require that
the District maintain a debt coverage ratio equal to
1.2 or 120 percent of annual debt service. The FY
2016-17 proposed operating budget provides the
net revenue to debt ratios shown in the table below.
Net Revenue in excess of annual debt service
(excess coverage) provides funding for the District’s
Capital Improvement Program and contributions to
Replacement Reserves.

WATER FUND
East Valley Water District understands the
importance of preserving California’s water supplies,
especially in times of drought, and has taken many
steps to encourage water use efficiency. The water
budget based rates promote water efficiency and
is based on the cost of service; is equitable and
fair; promotes sustainable behavior change; has
shown to be effective in reducing water use; and
is supported by Governor Brown in his Executive
Order on Water Restrictions issued on April 1, 2015
that calls on water agencies throughout California
to implement structures that promote conservation.
Water budget based rates structure has been
recognized by the State Water Resources Control
Board for producing superior water savings and is an
approved alternative approach for compliance with
current California Drought Emergency Conservation
Regulations.
RATES
EVWD bills all customers on a monthly basis for
water usage. In March 2015, the Board of Directors
unanimously approved restructuring the water
rates from a uniform structure to water budget
based rates to encourage efficient water use and
secure the District’s long-term financial stability.
The Board’s decision also included the approval of
a three-year schedule of changes to the District’s
water rates. Water budget based rates are designed
to treat customers fairly by meeting each individual
customer’s unique needs. Its intent is to determine
the quantity of water that would be considered an
efficient level of water use. EVWD considers multiple
factors in calculating each customer’s monthly water
budget:
• Number of Occupants
• Number of Dwelling Units
• Medical Needs
• Horses/Live Stock
• Business Needs
• Agricultural Needs
• Irrigable Landscape
• Weather
The new rates have been designed with a three-tier
structure, each developed based on the District’s
cost of service to provide three different sources
and uses of water. Based on the new rate structure,
approximately 60 percent of the District’s revenue
requirements may be captured from the amount of
water used.

REVENUES
Water revenues are generated through the
following avenues:
• Fixed Meter Charges
• Water Consumption Sales
• Penalties
―Late Fees
―Shut Off Notice
―Reconnect Fees
• Initiation of Service Fees
• Energy Incentives
• Miscellaneous Reimbursements
―District property damage
―In Lieu Programs
• Interest
In order to be as accurate as possible, staff
evaluated and considered external factors that
would have any impact on revenue projections:
• Number of accounts by class
• Total irrigable landscaped area in the District
service area
• Historical water usage
• State mandates
• Operational changes
A careful analysis of the District’s water accounts
and usage were considered as the foundation for
projecting water sales. To determine Tier 1 usage,
each residential account was assumed to receive
10 units of Tier 1 water. Next, staff used GIS data
to provide the total square footage of irrigable
landscape and converted the efficient amount
of water necessary. Tier 3 water was based on
historical usage for irrigation accounts. Other
classification includes temporary water meters
used mainly for construction.

EXPENSES
Expenses are based on the cost to provide water to
meet customer demands. The table below projects
the amount of water to be produced for FY 2016-
17. The amount of water produced is more than the
amount of water sold to account for normal system
water loss.
The continued severity of the drought has prompted
the District to put forth significant effort twoards the
Conservation Program. This Program is committed
to assisting customers with conservation efforts
through the continuance of the rebate programs
and instructor-led seminars and demonstrations.
Staff continues to review and enhance processes
to ensure optimal performance. However, due
to the new rate structure, cost allocations for the
Information Technology and Customer Service
Departments were shifted to the Water Fund.
Previously, those costs were allocated evenly
between the Water and Wastewater Fund. It has
been determined that budget based rates require
a significant amount of time and commitment from
staff therefore justifying the shift in expenses.
Moreover, due to the uncertainty of revenue
income, staff has reprioritized programs to ensure
critical programs continue while additional services
can be re- evaluated at mid-year.
CONCLUSION
The District strives to provide safe and reliable
water delivery services. In light of the continued
drought, the District has put forth significant effort
to overcome the challenges of maintaining a
fiscally sustainable and operationally dependable
organization. The District maintains its commitment
to investing in critical infrastructure to ensure the
future of its thriving community. Due to the variable
factors, mid-year review will be an important time
to review projections and program expenditures to
make adjustments as necessary.

WASTEWATER FUND
The Wastewater Fund pays for all activities related to
the operations and maintenance of the wastewater
collection infrastructure as well as the treatment of
wastewater. All treatment charges collected from
customers are remitted to the City of San Bernardino
Municipal Water Department.
RATES
There are two sets of rates that make up the
Wastewater Charge:
1. East Valley Water District Collection System
Charge that includes conveyance and
maintenance of the wastewater mains and;
2. City of San Bernardino Wastewater Treatment
Charge that includes the treatment and
disposal of waste.
Each set of rates has two components:
1. System Charge based on customer type,
Residential or Commercial.
2. Service Charge based on the amount and
concentration of the wastewater discharged
into the wastewater system. Amount and
concentration have a direct impact to the
entire wastewater system and treatment
facility.
The District’s service area for wastewater is divided
into two regions with City Creek being the identifying
landmark. Residences and businesses west of City
Creek are charged a different rate than those east
of City Creek due to the timing of development and
the hydraulics of the system.
RESIDENTIAL
East Valley Water District bills residential customers
a monthly wastewater charge based on the number
of dwelling units, up to four units, per property.
Properties with four or more units are classified as
multi-family. The table below identifies the number
of services and the wastewater charges per month.
COMMERCIAL
The District bills commercial customers on a monthly
basis for wastewater. The charge consists of four
components—two flat rates and two consumption
based rates. The two flat rates are EVWD’s system
charge and the City of San Bernardino’s treatment
charge. The two consumption based rates are for
EVWD’s Collection Charge per HCF and the City of
San Bernardino’s Treatment Charge per HCF.

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET 2016-2017page. 54
Additionally, the consumption based rates are
calculated using the following formula [($.55/HCF
EVWD Collection Charge + City of San Bernardino
Treatment Charge) x HCF used]. Shown below is
a schedule of commercial wastewater rates for
FY2016-17.
REVENUES
Wastewater revenues consist of collection charges,
treatment charges, and miscellaneous revenues
such as interest income and capacity charges
for new services. The District anticipates that the
increase will be related to collecting wastewater
connection charges from vacant homes. Also, the
City of San Bernardino has begun the process for a
possible rate increase to treatment. Those revenues
will be remitted to the City of San Bernardino,
therefore having no impact on District Operations.

EXPENSES
Operating expenses have remained the same overall
in the Wastewater Fund. The District continues to
conduct preventive maintenance programs on the
wastewater mains such as videoing the lines and
cleaning the lines on a regular schedule. Additionally,
staff has invested more time and efforts into the
spot repairs of the mains when sags and cracks are
found in the lines when reviewing video tapes of the
wastewater system.
With the implementation of Water Budget Based
Rates, costs associated with Customer Service and
Information Technology were shifted to the Water
Fund because of increased efforts to administer the
new tiered rates.
Over the past year, the District has been exploring
options to resolve the District’s wastewater capacity
limitations while utilizing existing resources in
the most effective and efficient manner during
the ongoing drought. The completion of the
Recycled Water Feasibility Study in October 2014
recommended that the District initiate a recycled
water program to treat a majority of the wastewater
flows generated by East Valley Water District
customers. The treated wastewater can then be
reused for groundwater recharge, providing the
greatest benefit to the District’s customers.
Building a Recycled Water Center will mitigate the
impacts of future droughts by providing a long term
reliable water supply. This approach makes the
District self-reliant rather than relying on the City
of San Bernardino for treatment and disposal of
wastewater. The continued focus for FY 2016-17 will
be moving this project forward toward design and
build.
CONCLUSION
The Wastewater Fund is balanced, however, a rate
study must be conducted to ensure proper rates
are charged to fund future capital improvement
projects and that the District continues to meet
debt service obligations as set forth in the bond
covenants. District staff will continue to monitor the
revenues and expenses and present the progress
to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

POSITION SUMMARY
SCHEDULE
East Valley Water District continues to evaluate
workforce needs to ensure all services are
addressed by a high quality workforce. In FY
2015-16, the District made some organizational
changes which included the addition of an
Administrative Assistant in General Administration
and reclassification of the Field Maintenance
Superintendent from Maintenance Administration
to a Construction Coordinator in the Engineering
Department. Since the California Drought played
a major role in the development of the FY 2015-16
budget, the District planned for, but did not hire, 1
Conservation Analyst and 1 Part time Conservation
Representative. Additionally, the District dedicated a
significant amount of time and energy to succession
planning and organizational assessment. These
efforts identified areas of growth for FY 2016-17,
which includes the addition of 2 full-time positions,
an Accountant and a Director of Engineering and
Operations to replace the Engineering Manager.
The table on page 60 summarizes the number of
full-time personnel by Department. All authorized
positions are funded in the proposed budget for FY
2016-17.
DEPARTMENT
DESCRIPTIONS
The District utilizes program-based budgeting.
Requested funds are associated with the expected
results and performance is measured by indicators
and reviewed on a quarterly basis with the
Governing Board. This results-oriented strategy
provides the ability to monitor expenses related to a
particular program or activity and track measurable
benefits. Program-based budgeting results can be
used in cost-benefit analyses, just as it would be in
a business environment to determine the value of
decisions and enhance transparency.
Program goals and objectives have been designed
to correlate directly with the District’s newly
adopted vision, and are built from the agency
ideals and organizational endeavors. Based on
these goals and objectives, key performance
indicators (KPI) monitor progress towards meeting
program objectives. Program-based budgeting
also increases accountability and transparency as
the rate payers and Governing Board can more
easily see where dollars are invested and monitor
program effectiveness.
Some KPIs are included to notate industry
benchmarks to help staff understand the District’s
performance in comparison to the water and
wastewater industry. American Water Works
Association (AWWA) standards help improve both
operational efficiency and managerial effectiveness.

CAPITAL OUTLAY
The District defines capital outlay expenditures
as an individually significant acquisition of capital
assets (not involving construction) that are expected
to last more than 2 years and have an individual
cost of $5,000 or more. This threshold is applied at
the individual asset level.
Each year as part of the budget process, the
District’s Program Managers and Supervisors
compile and submit a list of capital outlay requests
for consideration. Then staff reviews and prioritizes
the list of equipment based on a needs assessment
and the amount of funding available. Items that
benefit both the water and wastewater systems are
allocated accordingly.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM
A Capital Improvement Project expenditure is an
individually significant construction project with a
cost $25,000 or more that creates a new capital asset,
improves an existing asset (increases its service
capacity, etc.), or significantly extends an asset’s
operating life. The District’s Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) is a 5-year budget. However, each
year projects are reviewed and evaluated based on
the needs of the District. Therefore, some projects
may be omitted and others moved forward annually
during the development of each fiscal year budget.
Proposed Capital Improvement Projects for
the budgeted fiscal years were submitted by
the Engineering, Operations and Maintenance
Programs in accordance with the anticipated needs
of the District as outlined in the updated Wastewater
Master Plan and Water Master Plan. The District has
evaluated and prioritized projects included in the
Master Plans based on the following criteria:
• Preservation of public health and water quality.
• Improvements required as a result of local, state
or federal legislation/mandates.
• Reduction of current maintenance expenditures
and avoidance of costly future rehabilitation.
• Preservation of existing facilities/infrastructure.
• Positive impacts on customers.
• Grant/loan secured or leverage of funds or
grant/loan availability.
For FY 2016-17, the District was able to fund Capital
Improvement Projects through revenues, reserves,
and development fees totaling $4,375,000.
Engineering will continue to complete ongoing
projects from previous years and provide quarterly
updates on the progress.

HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The District is involved in a regional effort, led by the San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, to establish a Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Santa Ana River watershed. This effort
will provide a planning document and implementation plan
to balance the interests of water agencies providing water for
domestic, irrigation, and commercial use, with environmental
concerns – primarily the endangered Santa Ana Sucker fish. The
current year funding request includes completion of planning and
design, and captive propagation, while future year cost estimates
are intended to cover permitting, tributary construction and water
supply, and species translocation.
Costs shown are East Valley Water District’s share of an estimated
$32 million project.

AMI METER PROGRAM
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will consist of retrofitting existing AMR and manual
read meters throughout the District with Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) hardware, software, and meters. Funding for
phase one of this project will be provided through a grant from
the Department of Water Resources-Energy Grant Program and
replace 6,100 (25 percent) of the District’s meters. Phases 2, 3
and 4 of the District-wide implementation of AMI metering will be
funded by operating revenue over the next four to seven years.
OPERATING BUDGET IMPACT STATEMENT
ADDITIONAL STAFF SALARIES
This project will reduce staffing and equipment costs required
to collect manual reads of meters. Meter reading staff and
equipment, with an annual cost of approximately $100,000, will
be reassigned to other District programs, mitigating the need to
fill vacant positions in those programs from external sources.

UPPER ZONE BOOSTER STATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is required in conjunction with the Canal Zone Storage
Reservoir which, when completed, will need approximately 2.9
million gallons per day (MGD) of water supply pumped from lower
pressure zones. This booster station will meet that demand by
pumping water from the Upper Zone to the Canal Zone, and will
be built to boost the 2.9 MGD supply capacity required.

NORTH FORK PIPELINE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The North Fork water pipeline is jointly owned by the North Fork
Water Company (NFWC) and East Valley Water District. It serves
as the surface water intake from the Santa Ana River (SAR) and
distributes raw water to NFWC irrigators along 7 miles of pipe
before reaching the District’s surface water treatment Plant 134.
Most of the pipeline is less than 30 years old with the exception of
two sections of above ground pipe crossing the SAR and Plunge
Creek. These pipes are very old and prone to leak. This project
will line or replace these sections of exposed pipe with project
costs to be shared evenly with the NFWC.

CITY CREEK MANHOLE RELOCATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A wastewater manhole previously located to the north of the flow
of City Creek is now exposed in the middle of the creek bed. This
is due to realignment of the creek caused by flooding in 2010.
In addition, the ground over the attached 18-inch wastewater
main running under the creek, has eroded to a cover of only 6
feet. This project will evaluate options for either protecting the
wastewater facilities in place, relocating them, or completely
eliminating the need for the wastewater facilities to cross the
creek at this location. Project costs include implementation of the
final solution.

STERLING NATURAL RESOURCE CENTER (SNRC)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In response to the drought and SBX7-7 which mandates EVWD
to cut 20 percent of its use by the year 2020, the District is
planning and constructing a recycled water facility. The facility
will allow the EVWD to treat wastewater to a point that it can
be recharged back into the groundwater basin and reused for
domestic purpose. Initially the facility will treat approximately 6
MGD and will expand to treat ultimate build-out at 10 MGD.

5TH STREET WASTEWATER TRUNK LINE (SNRC)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Construct 7,600 linear feet of 21-inch diameter wastewater main
in 5th Street from Victoria Avenue to Del Rosa Drive. This line
will intercept flows from the 6th Street trunk line and convey it
directly to the new SNRC. In addition, this trunk line will provide
mains to an area currently without wastewater service thereby
eliminating the use of septic tanks. The undeveloped land in
this area will already have wastewater service available when
development occurs.

GREENSPOT EAST WASTEWATER MAIN
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Modeling performed during development of the 2013 Wastewater
Collection System Master Plan update showed that approximately
2,000 linear feet of 12-inch and 15-inch wastewater pipeline in
Greenspot Road surcharge under wet weather conditions. As
the majority of wastewater flows from future development in the
District will feed into this section of the collection system, it is
important that this capacity issue be addressed.
The proposed project is to install 21,000 linear feet of 12-inch pipe
parallel to the existing pipeline in Greenspot Road to alleviate
the threat of surcharging, and to accommodate future growth of
between 3,500 and 4,500 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs).

WASTEWATER FLOW MONITORING
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The District installed two flow meters at 6th and 3rd Streets
east of Waterman Avenue. These two meters measure the total
wastewater flow from the District’s service area. These meters
verify the flow from the District to the City of San Bernardino
Wastewater Treatment Plant compared to the flows calculated
based on number of connections. The flow data will be used to
design the new SNRC water recycling center, monitor the impacts
of new development, and provide data to calibrate the District’s
InfoSewer system model. The meters will remain for a minimum
of two more years, at which time the monitoring program will be
reassessed.

MULTI-YEAR WASTEWATER RATE STUDY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In order to ensure wastewater rates collected by East Valley
Water District are equitable and sufficient to recover costs, a Cost
of Service Analysis must be performed in FY 2016-17. Wastewater
rates were last considered at a public hearing in FY 2011-12. The
analysis will include the District’s wastewater collection system
maintenance rates, and wastewater treatment rates that will be
effective for the District’s new SNRC scheduled for completion in
December 2017.

From: General Manager/CEO
Subject: P umalo S treet Water Main Replacement P ro jec t
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Bo ard of Directo rs ap p ro ve the award o f a contract to Merlin Johns on Cons truc tion
Inc., in the amount of $486,640.50, and autho rize the General Manager/CEO to purchase the materials separately

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
In an effo rt to minimize water loss d ue to s ystem main leaks , Dis tric t staff has been evaluating wo rk orders to
identify water main replacement rec o mmend atio ns. During this p ro c es s , o ver 20 s ignificant leaks were no ted over
the last nine years o n the water main loc ated alo ng Pumalo Street b etween Go lden Avenue and Del Ro s a Avenue.
As a res ult, the 2,200 linear feet of 8 inch pip eline ins talled in 1966 has been id entified for immediate rep lacement.
T his sec tion of water main p ro vides service to s everal apartment c o mplexes, approximately 30 ho mes, s everal
b us ines s es , and Hunt Elementary S cho ol. S taff has reached out to sc hoo l repres entatives and c o nfirmed that
c o mp letio n of this projec t d uring the summer wo uld b e ideal in ord er to avoid d is rup ting s cho o l traffic. This
wo uld allow for a majority o f the es timated 10 week cons truc tion timeline to take p lac e within the summer break
that is o c curring b etween June 2 and Augus t 1, 2016.
T he Dis tric t had originally es timated costs for this pip eline ins tallatio n to b e app ro ximately $380,000. However,
