Agend a Item #7.
Meeting Date: September 28, 2016
P ub lic Hearing
To: Governing Bo ard Memb ers
From: General Manager/CEO
Subject: S taff P res entatio n regard ing Drought R espons e, propo s ed Ord inanc e 396, Res o lution 2016.22 and
Co mmunity Advis ory C o mmis s io n Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff rec o mmend s that the Board of Direc tors replace Ordinance 395 with Ordinance 396, deac tivate the Stage 2
T hreatened Water Sup p ly Sho rtage, dec lare that the District shall operate in Stage 1 Permanent Cons ervation
Measures as written in Ordinance 396, adop t R esolution 2016.22 and update the Community Advisory
Co mmis sion P olic y.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
Fo r the las t five years the State o f Califo rnia has b een experienc ing d rought c o nd itions. Throughout this perio d
there has been unp rec ed ented levels of actio n, up to and including mand atory cons ervation req uirements . Most
rec ently, the S tate Water R esources Co ntrol Board (SWRCB) adopted an emergency water cons ervation
regulatio n o n May 18, 2016 that mo d ified and extended mandates based on Governor Bro wn’s Exec utive Ord er
B-37-16.
T hes e updated regulations req uired the Distric t to c o nd uc t a self-c ertification o f our sys tem demand and
p roduction capabilities to es tablis h the new water c o ns ervation s tand ard ins tead of the previous State impo s ed
c o nservatio n p erc entage. Up on c o mp letio n o f this p ro c es s , it was d etermined that the Dis trict water s upp lies
wo uld be greater than the es timated water d emand s , which would have res ulted in a 0% water cons ervation
s tandard. However, given the o ngo ing need to enc o urage water effic iency in o ur c ommunity, the unpredictab le
nature of d rought c o nditions , and his toric lo ws in the Bunker Hill Bas in, the Dis tric t voluntarily es tablis hed a
higher water conservatio n s tand ard. With this , the Dis tric t along with many other agenc ies that dep end o n the
Bunker Hill Gro undwater Bas in, sub mitted a s elf-imposed c o ns ervatio n standard of 15% to the SWRCB.
T he SWR CB regulatio n maintained spec ific pro hibitions agains t water waste, whic h inc lude: watering d o wn a
s idewalk with a ho s e, o ver watering of land s cape resulting in runo ff, was hing a vehicle witho ut a s huto ff nozzle,
irrigation of land s cap e 48 hours after meas urab le rainfall, and pro hibitio ns direc ted to the hospitality industry als o
remained in p lac e.
With thes e c hanges in the regulatio ns , the c urrent Ordinance and Res o lutions are in need of revis io ns . Ord inanc e
396 and Res olution 2016.22 have b een d esigned to maintain a p ermanent level o f c o ns ervatio n moving forward,
with the ability to ad apt to inc reased need s fo r c ons ervation as varying levels of emergenc ies arise. This inc lud es
the rec o mmend ed actio n of d ropping down from a Stage 2 T hreatened Water S up p ly S hortage to Stage 1
Permanent Co ns ervation Meas ures.

SECTION 10. CUSTOMER BILLING PROCEDURES
10.01 Charges - Water charges shall commence when a water service connection
is installed and the meter is set. The customer requesting service and whose name is
on the water service account will be responsible for all water charges incurred by such
service. The District may transfer to the account, any delinquent and/or unpaid
charges from other closed or open accounts which are held by the customer and/or
property owner within the District.
10.02 Tiered Water Use - The District charges for potable water use in three
separate pricing tiers. Tier 1 is an estimate of indoor water use. Tier 2 is an estimate
of efficient outdoor use. Tier 1 and 2 are considered a customer’s water budget. Tier
3 represents water use greater than 100% of the customer’s individualized water
budget.
10.03 Water Budgets - A water budget is defined as the quantity of water
required for an efficient level of water use by an individual customer site. The District’s
water budget calculation accounts for indoor, outdoor, and business process needs
where applicable. Water budgets are determined by the individual needs of the
customer using site-specific factors including, but not limited to, persons per
household, irrigated area, weather (expressed as Evapotranspiration rate), plant factor,
and days of service. Water budgets are calculated differently for residential, dedicated
irrigation (landscape), and commercial mixed-use (indoor and outdoor) water service
accounts. Water budgets are considered the combination of Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 water
use in all customer classes subject to water budget rates. Customer classes are:
Residential, Multi-Family, Irrigation, and Non-Residential.
34
10.04 Evapotranspiration (ET) Rate - Evapotranspiration is a measure of water
transpired through plant tissue and evaporated from the soil in the planted area over a
period of time. The unit of measure is expressed in inches of ET. ET measurements
are obtained from weather station(s) situated in the District’s service area; each station
provides the data to be applied for specific zones within the District. The weather
stations are calibrated on a monthly basis by a certified CIMIS (California Irrigation
Management Information System) professional. Weather data is gathered on a daily
basis and accumulated for each billing period.
10.05 Monthly Plant Factor - The monthly plant factor is used to more clearly
define the needs of plant material. The District’s monthly plant factor comes from the
University of California – Riverside’s research on the water needs of cool-season turf
grass. The plant factors (shown in Row A of the table below), when averaged over the
entire calendar year, match the annual ET Adjustment factors listed in the State of
California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (AB 1881). Monthly Plant factors
for special landscapes are shown in Row B of the table. Special landscapes are served
by a dedicated irrigation meter and include: registered historical sites, cemeteries,
parks, golf courses, sport complexes/ball fields, and school yards.
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual
Average
A. 0.61 0.64 0.75 1.04 0.95 0.88 0.94 0.86 0.74 0.75 0.69 0.60 0.8

10.06 Residential Indoor Water Budget - A residential indoor water budget is
calculated by multiplying the number of persons per household by 60 gallons for every
day by the number of dwelling units by the drought factor in a billing period. For
example, if there are 4 persons in a single-unit residence, the daily water budget would
be 240 gallons (4 persons x 1 unit x 1 drought factor x 60 gallons). If there are 28 days
35
in a billing period the total indoor water budget would be 6,720 gallons (240 gallon/day
x 28 days = 6,720 gallons) or 8.98 billing units (6,720 gallons ÷ 748 gallons per billing
unit).
10.07 Residential Outdoor Water Budget - A residential daily outdoor water
budget is calculated by multiplying the irrigated square footage associated with the
water service account by the monthly Evapotranspiration rate adjusted by the monthly
plant factor by the drought factor, multiplying by the conversion factor of 0.62 (square
feet to gallons), and then dividing by 748 to arrive at the daily water budget in billing
units. (Irrigable Square Footage x Monthly Evapotranspiration Rate x Monthly Plant
Factor x drought factor x 0.62 ÷ 748 = Monthly Outdoor Budget in billing units.
10.08 Dedicated Landscape (Irrigation) Water Budget - Water budgets for
dedicated irrigation accounts are calculated using the same methodology that is used
for Residential Outdoor Water Budgets (described above). Dedicated Landscape
accounts receive no Tier 1 allocation.
10.09 Non-Residential Mixed Use Water Budgets – Non-Residential mixed-use
water budgets are based on historic use. The District calculates an average water
demand for each billing period based on the water demand for the same billing periods
of the prior two years. The commercial water budget may be adjusted, at the District’s
discretion, to accommodate changes in business processes or to allow for business
growth.
10.10 Water Budget Drought Factor - Water budgets can be adjusted in times
of threatened water supply availability in order to reduce water allocations for
customers through the use of the drought factor. When drought factors are
implemented, indoor and/or outdoor water budgets can be reduced by a designated
percentage, causing Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 allocations to be reduced, and Tier 3
‘Inefficient Usage’ charges to become effective at lower consumption levels.
36
Drought factors can also be adjusted upward to reflect improved water supplies but not
above 100%. Changes in drought factors will be established by Resolution of the District
Board of Directors.
10.11 Water Budget Adjustments - Water budgets can also be adjusted to
reflect a significant change in a customer’s unique efficient water needs. Adjustment
forms are available for customers on the District’s website or at the District
Headquarters. Rules pertaining to applicable water budget adjustments are outlined
on the water budget adjustment form.
10.12 Leak Credit - In cases where a pipe break or sprinkler malfunction leads
to water use in excess of an individual water budget during one or more billing periods,
the District will remove the inefficient use rate increment (difference between Tier 3
and Tier 2 rates) for up to a maximum of two concurrent billing periods ending in the
billing period in which a verified repair or corrective measure was conducted. In
addition, all of the following conditions must be satisfied for a Leak Credit to be issued:
The customers water use was in excess of their water budget at the time of
the repair;
The customer has completed a leak credit form with the required
documentation showing a repair was performed;
The customer has returned to in-budget water use in the billing period
immediately following the billing period during which the repair was
completed;
The customer has not applied for a leak credit within the last 12 consecutive
billing periods.
The District will remove the tier 3 incremental charge by recalculating the impacted
water bill(s) for all of the customer’s water use, including water use as a result of the
37
leak or malfunction, at the applicable Tier 2 pricing. A leak credit form may be
obtained on the District website, or by visiting the District Administrative Offices.
10.13 Liens for Unpaid Bills - All unpaid bills will be made a lien against the
property pursuant to these rules, regulations and California Water Code Section 31701.5
et.seq. Interest at the legal rate may accrue and be applied on all delinquent bills.
The property owner remains responsible for all charges owed to the District whether or
not the property owner actually lives on the premises or signs the application for water
service.
10.14 Owner Liability - The property owner remains responsible for all charges
owed to the District whether or not the property owner actually lives on the premises
or signs the application for water service.
10.15 Meter Reading, Billing Period, and Due Date - The billing will be based
on the periodic meter readings which will normally range between 26 and 32 days. If a
meter fails to register during any period, or is known to register inaccurately, the
customer shall be charged based on estimated usage. The billings for water service are
mailed approximately, five days after the meter readings. Current charges are due
when mailed and become past due if not paid on or before the due date. The due date
shall be 20 days after the billing date. All billings are considered delivered upon mailing
and the District is not responsible for non-receipt or non-delivery once mailed. Any
payment envelope received by the District without a payment enclosed, or with an
unsigned check, shall be considered non-payment. Checks received on payment of
account and later returned by the bank unpaid shall also be considered as non-payment,
and a returned check charge will be assessed. Accents with one or more returned
checks may be required to make future payments by cash, money order, or charge card
only.
10.16 Reactivation - If payment is not made, as stipulated above, and charges
remain unpaid on the shut-off date stated on the delinquent billing notice, water
38
service shall be discontinued, a disconnection charge assessed, and a deposit required.
If an account has been disconnected for non-payment, the original bill, delinquent and
disconnection charges, and a deposit must be paid before service will be reestablished.
Payment for charges on an account that has been disconnected must be made in cash,
money order, or charge card.
10.17 Past Due Accounts - Rates and charges which are not paid on or before
the due dates shall be subject to interest charges. Interest will be calculated at a rate
of one and one-half percent (1 1/2 %) on all amounts that remain unpaid at the end of
each billing cycle. The District may secure unpaid charges by filing liens on real
property, as provided by law or by any other method available to the District. In the
event that legal action is brought to collect unpaid charges, the District shall be entitled
to the payment of all costs, including attorney’s fees. Defendant shall pay all costs
associated with litigation rendered in favor of the District.
10.18 Billing of Separate Meters not Combined - Separate bills will be rendered
for each meter installation. The District may, for its own convenience, consider each
register of compound meters as a separate service and bill each as provided for herein.
For its own convenience, the District may combine multiple services on one bill.
10.19 Opening and Closing Bills - Opening and closing bills for less than the
normal billing period shall consist of charges for actual water consumption and a
proration of the availability charge.
10.20 Delinquency Notice and Disconnection for Non-Payment - A delinquency
notice shall be mailed to customers whose accounts are delinquent, warning that
service is subject to disconnection unless payment is received within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the date of mailing of the delinquent notice. The delinquency
notice shall indicate the amount due, including delinquent charges, and the total
amount which must be paid. Notice of any delinquency in a tenant's account shall also
be sent to the owner of the property.
39
10.21 Removal of Delinquency - At the end of each calendar year, the District
shall remove one delinquency from the record of each account that has one or more
delinquencies.
10.22 Suit - All unpaid rates, charges and penalties herein provided may be
collected by suit.
