East Valley Water District
Highland, California
We have audited the financial statements of the East Valley Water District (the District) as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2019, and have issued our report thereon dated REPORT DATE. We have
previously communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, as well as
certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by East Valley Water District are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
No other new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed
during 2018-19.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial
statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial
statements were:
•Management’s estimate of the useful lives of its capital assets and the related period of
depreciation which is based on historic knowledge of the assets and the frequency with which
capital assets must be replaced;
•Management’s estimate of the fair value of investments based upon relevant information about
similar investments held in managed portfolios and used to determine the probable market value
of the investments;
DR

F
T
Board of Directors
East Valley Water District
Highland, California
Page 2
•Management’s estimate of pension liabilities and postemployment benefits based upon actuarial
assumptions; and
•Management’s estimate of unbilled revenues which is based on the revenue cycle of the water
system and expected usage of water using historic information.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the sensitive accounting estimates
described above in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a
whole.
Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing
our audit.
Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any uncorrected financial statement
misstatements.
Corrected Misstatements
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any financial statement misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the managem ent
representation letter dated REPORT DATE .
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves
application of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type
DR
A
F
T
Board of Directors
East Valley Water District
Highland, California
Page 3
of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Significant Issues Discussed With Management Prior To Engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However,
these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were
not a condition to our engagement.
Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements,
we made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the
RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, and whether there were
any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the RSI.
We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during the audit of the basic financial statements.
Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient evidence, we did not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the RSI.
With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, on which we
were engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine
that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period or the reasons for such
changes, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial
statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We have
issued our report thereon dated REPORT DATE.
The introductory and statistical sections accompanying the financial statements, which is the
responsibility of management, was prepared for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the financial statements. Such information was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements, and, accordingly, we did not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on it.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and
management of East Valley Water District and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

To the Board of Directors and Customers of East Valley Water District,
We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for East Valley Water District for
the year ended June 30, 2019. This report was prepared by District staff in accordance with standards established
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The District’s management is responsible for the presented data, and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including the note disclosures. We believe that the report presented is accurate in all material
respects, and that the financial statements and other information are presented in a manner that enables readers
to gain a full understanding of the District’s financial activities for the year. Readers should also refer to the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Financial Section of the CAFR for a detailed discussion regarding
the District’s financial condition and results of operations.
The CAFR follows the guidelines recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the
United States and Canada. In November 2019, the District will, again, submit the CAFR to this organization for
review and possible recognition for achievement in reporting excellence.
Background
East Valley Water District (the District) was formed on January 18, 1954, and since then, has provided retail water
service to customers in an expanding service area which now covers 30.1 square miles. The District directly serves
treated water to approximately 102,000 people in the City of Highland, the eastern portion of the City of San
Bernardino, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and portions of the County of San Bernardino. In 1964, the
District began providing wastewater collection services to the same service area.
As of June 30, 2019, the District had 21,612 water connections and 20,563 wastewater connections.
Water Supply and Reliability
The District’s water supply for the year ended June 30, 2019 includes groundwater (77.5 percent), surface water
(8.3 percent), and imported water (14.2 percent). Groundwater is pumped from the Bunker Hill Basin, and surface
water from the Santa Ana River is diverted based on rights acquired from the North Fork Water Company.
7
Local Economy
East Valley Water District is located within San Bernardino County in a metropolitan area referred to as the “Inland
Empire”. Since 2010, the District’s population has grown by more than 60 percent and currently, comprised of mostly
residential and commercial customers, with no major industrial users. Large consumers remain consistent year to
year with the San Bernardino City Unified School District, San Manuel Mission Indians, Patton State Hospital, San
Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino, and the City of Highland, forming the list of top five users.
In 2019, the average household income within the District’s service area was $49,060, approximately 14% lower
than the County of San Bernardino. Customers who reside in the City of Highland account for approximately 65%
of the District’s customer base. These customers had an average household income of $55,130, approximately
12% higher than the overall District average.
Financial Management
The District manages its resources conservatively in order to deliver safe and reliable services to its customers at
a fair and cost-effective price. It focuses on establishing fair rates, cost containment, long-term planning, maintaining
and upgrading infrastructure, and pursuing alternative source of funding. This approach has allowed the District to
undertake substantial capital improvement projects during tough economic times, while passing a series of modest
rate increases. The keys to the District’s successful financial management are the District’s Capital Improvement
and Financial Plan (CIFP), comprehensive reviews of water and wastewater rates, and the annual budget process.
The CIFP provides a comprehensive view of infrastructure investments necessary over a seven year period to
ensure that water resources are adequate, water quality is maintained, and the water and wastewater service needs
of current and future customers are met. The CIFP is reviewed annually by the District’s Board of Directors (the

Water Supply Sources

Board) during the budget process, at which time the highest priority projects are adopted and receive authorization
for expenditure along with the District’s operating budget.
The District’s financial planning also includes the establishment and funding of reserves, and the pursuit of
alternative funding sources, both of which help reduce reliance on rates and rate increases. In recent years the
District has been very successful in pursuing project funding from the State Revolving Fund and Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), and have applied for water and energy efficiency project funding from the Bureau of
Reclamation and Edison.
Internal Control
District management is responsible for establishing a system of internal accounting controls designed to provide
reasonable assurances that assets of the District are safeguarded against losses from unauthorized use or
disposition, and theft. The District’s internal controls also ensure the proper recording of financial transactions, and
the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The District’s
internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept
of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived
and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Budgetary Control
The District’s Board of Directors annually adopt a balanced operating and capital budget prior to the new fiscal year.
The budget authorizes expenditures and provides a basis for accountability over the District’s enterprise operations
and capital projects. Each quarter, management provides the Board with a quarterly budget review to allow Board
assessment of staff’s progress in meeting goals and objectives, and budget adjustments, if necessary, are
requested at the mid-year budget review in February.
Debt Administration
The District utilizes proceeds from long-term debt, along with reserves and contributions from the operating budget,
to finance major construction projects. Current debt consists of Revenue Bonds and loans from US Bancorp, the
State Revolving Fund, and the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District.
The District received a credit rating of AA- from Standard and Poor’s and Fitch when the Revenue Bonds were
issued in June 2013. This rating was affirmed by Fitch as the result of a review conducted in April 2017.
Investment Policy
The Board of Directors annually adopts an investment policy that conforms to California State Law, District
ordinances and resolutions, and the prudent person standard. The objectives of the policy are safety, liquidity, and
yield. District funds are normally invested in the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and
Federal government Treasury notes or agency obligations.
9
Audit and Financial Reporting
State law requires the District to obtain an annual audit of its financial statements by an independent Certified Public
Accountant. This year, the District’s Financial statements were audited by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP from Glendora,
California. Their audit opinion is included in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. This was the seventh year that the District has achieved this prestigious award.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental entity must publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are
submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgements
Preparation of this report was accomplished by the combined efforts of District staff. We appreciate the dedication
and professionalism that our staff bring to the District. We would also like to thank the members of the Board of
Directors for their continued support in the planning and implementation of the financial affairs of the District.

The District
East Valley Water District (District) is a California Special District established under section 30000 et seq. of the
California Water Code. The District is engaged in pumping, treating, and distributing water to its customers, as well
as maintaining a collection system for residential and commercial wastewater that is delivered for treatment at a
plant owned by the City of San Bernardino Water Department.
The District serves the City of Highland and portions of the City and County of San Bernardino in California.
The Basic Financial Statements
East Valley Water District is a special-purpose government agency, engaged in activities that are supported
exclusively by user charges. As such, the District’s financial statements are presented in the format prescribed for
proprietary funds by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The following financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019 (2018 for comparative purposes only) consist
of three interrelated statements designed to provide the reader with relevant, understandable data about the
District’s financial condition and operating results. They are the Statement of Net Position, the Statement of
Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position, and the Statement of Cash Flows.
The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on the District’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflow
and outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position as of the last day of the District’s fiscal year.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position can serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position
of the East Valley Water District is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the
District’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon
as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
The Statement of Cash Flows (direct method) conveys to financial statement users how the District managed cash
resources during the year. This statement converts the change in net position presented on the Statement of
Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position into actual cash provided by or used for operations. The
Statement of Cash Flows also details how the District obtains cash through financing and investing activities, and
conversely, how cash is spent for these purposes.
Summary Financial Information and Analysis
Financial Condition
During the year ended June 30, 2019, the District’s total assets increased by $30.5 million, to $216.8 million, and
included increases to Current, Restricted, and Capital asset categories.
Current assets increased 61% to $38.6 million. The increase is almost entirely in a single line item – Due From
Other Governments. This receivable is related to a funding agreement with the California State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB) for the District’s Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) recycled water project. The
receivable balance is accumulated construction costs paid by the District but not yet reimbursed by the SWRCB
due to difficulties encountered by the State during implementation of a new financial reporting / cost-tracking
program. The problems causing delays should be resolved, and the District reimbursed, by November 2019.
EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended June 30, 2019
19
During this period, the District has maintained moderate liquidity through the sale of a large parcel of vacant land
and by deferring the start of other projects.
Restricted Asset balances increased from $6.8 to $8.2 million. The increase is the result of retentions from
contractor payments on the SNRC project mentioned above. The nature of Restricted Cash balances at June 30,
2019 are further detailed in Note 3 of the financial statements.
2019 2018
Current Assets 38.6$ 24.0$
Restricted Assets 8.2 6.8
Other Assets 0.3 0.4
Capital Assets - Net 169.7 155.1
Total Assets 216.8 186.3
Total Deferred Outflow of Resources 3.6 4.5
Current Liabilities 11.5 7.4
Non-Current Liabilities 85.0 63.4
Total Liabilities 96.5 70.8
Total Deferred Inflows of Resources 0.7 0.6
Net Position
Net Investment in Capital Assets 95.4 103.2
Restricted 3.5 3.3
Unrestricted 24.3 12.9
Total Net Position 123.2$ 119.4$
Capital Assets increased by $14.6 million during the 2018-19 fiscal year. This amount is a net between capital
additions of $28.8 million, less the sale of land valued at $7.5 million, and $6.7 million in charges for depreciation
during the year. Capital additions were primarily spent on design and construction of the SNRC. A more detailed
description of capital spending is in the Capital Assets section of this analysis.
Total Deferred Outflow of Resources consists of pension contributions made after the most recent pension plan
actuarial valuation, as well as differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments and
changes in assumptions. Deferred outflows decreased as of June 30, 2019 because the prior year amount included
an additional voluntary contribution.
While current assets increased by $14.6 million, current liabilities also increased by $4.1 million, the result of a
significant contractor invoice and retentions payable at year-end. The impact of these increases improved the
District’s current ratio from 3.2:1 to 3.4:1, however, as the District’s cash balances did not improve during the 2018-
19 fiscal year due to the large receivable from the State, the District’s liquidity ratio dropped from 2.5:1 at June 30,
2018, to 1.6:1 at June 30, 2019.
Non-Current Liabilities increased by $21.6 million, the net effect of:

Pensions and OPEB (Other Post Employment Benefits) are further discussed in Notes 8 and 11 of the
accompanying financial statements. Compensated absences and Long-term debt are further explained in financial
statement Notes 6 and 5, respectively.
The District’s total Net Position was $123.2 million at the end of fiscal year 2019, a $3.8 million increase compared
to the end of the previous fiscal year. Of the $123.2 million Net Position balance, $95.4 million is categorized as
Investment in Capital Assets, $3.5 million is Restricted for Capital Expansion Projects, and $24.3 million is
Unrestricted. The calculation of Net Position Invested in Capital Assets is included in Note 7 of the accompanying
financial statements.
Looking at longer term results, the District’s total Net Position has increased $10.5 million and $24.3 million over
five and 10 year periods, respectively.
Activities and Changes in Net Position
Water Operations
California emerged from four years of severe drought in the winter of 2017 with the Governor lifting a ‘state of
emergency’ and declaring an end to the drought on April 7, 2017. During the ensuing 2017-18 fiscal year,
consumption by District customers reached its highest levels since 2014 and water sales increased 17% to $17.1
million. However, though the drought had ended, conservation measures remained, as did the District’s water
budget based, tiered rates which were adopted in March 2015 and are designed to make inefficient use of water
more expensive. Water consumption billed as inefficient use at the District’s highest rates totaled $4.4 million.
Water sales for fiscal year 2018-19 decreased 7.7% to $15.7 million, as customer consumption reflected a return
to more efficient water use. Of the $15.7 million in sales, $3.7 million was billed as inefficient use. During the year
the District produced 17,397 acre feet of water and sold 16,167 acre feet. The difference between water produced
and water sold of 1,230 acre feet (7.1%) was the result of District flushing programs, water use at District facilities,
and system leaks.
Water System, or Meter Charge revenue, increased 0.1% to $9 million. No rate adjustments were effective for these
charges in fiscal year 2018-19, therefore any revenue increase was due to small tract development and infill
projects.

Revenue versus Expenses
Revenue
Expenses
The storms that ended the California drought with heavy rainfall and snow in Northern California created
opportunities for member agencies of the State Water Project in Southern California, such as EVWD, to purchase
water being sent down the California aqueduct for the purpose of filling reservoirs and recharging groundwater
basins. The District also increased purchases of State water for delivery at its surface water treatment plant to utilize
a newly commissioned hydro-electric generation facility. At the same time, water consumption fell, leading to overall
cost savings in the production of water.
• Source of Supply: costs increased by $380 thousand (14.7%) due to increased water purchases. Power
costs for wells dropped slightly due to the decrease in water production.
• Pumping: costs for boosting water to higher pressure zones decreased by 14.3% due to the decrease in
water production, especially production from wells that required boosting.
• Water Treatment: costs decreased 13.3% during the 2018-19 fiscal year due to a 58% drop in contract
services. Prior year costs for this line item included $150 thousand for the periodic change-out of filter media
at the District’s Plant 28.
• Transmission & Distribution (T&D): costs increased 11% because of two line items – Labor and Contract
Services. Labor increased because of the addition of two field staff in the previous year, and Contract
Services increased due to a higher number of main leaks that required assistance from on-call contractors.
Wastewater Operations
Wastewater operating revenues consist of System Charges and Treatment Charges. System Charge rates are set
by the District to cover the cost of maintaining the District’s wastewater collection system and to cover a portion of
administrative and general expenses.
Treatment Charge rates are established by the City of San Bernardino Water Department, which treats the
wastewater generated by the District’s customers – the District currently has no wastewater treatment facilities. All
wastewater treatment revenues collected by the District are directly offset by remittance payments to the City of
San Bernardino Water Department, therefore, wastewater treatment has no net effect on the District’s operating
results.

During the 2018-19 fiscal year wastewater operating revenues increased 3.0%, from $13.4 to $13.8 million. System
charges, assessed by the District for maintenance of wastewater collection mains, decreased by 0.5% as a result
of lower water usage by commercial customers. Commercial customers, which include multi-family residential
complexes larger than three units, are billed for wastewater charges based on water consumption. Therefore, the
decrease in water consumption discussed above, had a related impact on wastewater revenue. A complete list of
wastewater rates in effect for the last 10 years is included in the statistical section at the end of this document.
Wastewater treatment revenues and costs, both fell 1.2% to $8.6 million in fiscal year 2018-19. As with billing for
system charges, commercial customer bills have a component based on water consumption, therefore lower water
consumption led to a drop in revenue.
Wastewater collection line maintenance costs decreased by 7% compared to the prior year. This change is the net
result of lower Labor costs due to the retirement of a long-term employee, and increased Contract Services costs
as the District addressed several difficult and expensive repairs identified through video logging and assessment of
collection line conditions.

Revenue versus Expenses

Costs related to Customer Accounts (Water & Wastewater Operations) decreased $116 thousand, or 5.7%, due
primarily to the elimination of a position in the Customer Service Department. The full impact of this decision is not
evident in cost savings as two part-time employees were added and there were moderate wage and benefit
increases, not just in Customer Service, but in departments across the District as explained below.
Administrative and general costs for the District increased by 1% to $10.8 million. The primary reasons for the
increase were renewed efforts to issue conservation rebates of $711 thousand, and the use of consultants under
Contract Services to supplement staff as the District dealt with four key retirements.
Other significant changes in general and administrative costs included:
1. Legal Services decreased 70% as the District avoided further litigation related to the SNRC.
2. Printing and Publishing costs increased as the District undertook several outreach programs directed at
community members around the SNRC project site – a condition of State funding.

Depreciation expense recorded by the District’s water department decreased from $6 million to $5.9 million, while
wastewater department depreciation decreased from $1.0 million to $0.8 million. Prior year expense included
approximately $600 thousand in accelerated depreciation on certain assets whose remaining useful lives had been
shortened to align with District experience and standards published by the California State Controller. Affected
assets included pumps, valves, and other mechanical components capitalized as part of larger utility plant assets.
Non-Operating Activities
The District’s non-operating revenue of $1.6 million includes investment earnings of $571 thousand, discussed
below, a $705 thousand gain on the sale of surplus land, and $307 thousand in miscellaneous income and
reimbursements. Non-operating expenses is $1.68 million in interest on District long-term obligations.

Investment earnings increased 153% compared to the prior year due to an increase in the balance of investible
funds held at year-end – the District typically holds investments to maturity. The increase was enhanced by earnings
on funds deposited with the California Local Agency Investment Fund, which raised the interest rate paid on

Components of Net Position
The District is required to present its net position in three categories: Net Investment in Capital Assets, Restricted,
and Unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets
The components comprising Net Investment in Capital Assets are presented in Note 7 of the accompanying financial
statements. The balance at June 30, 2019 is $95.4 million, a decrease of $7.7 million compared to June 30, 2018.
The decrease is the net result of the acquisition or construction of capital assets for $21.3 million, offset by a $22.3
million increase in outstanding debt, and a net increase in accumulated depreciation of $6.7 million.
Restricted
Restricted Net Position consists of unexpended development impact fees which may only be appropriated by
approval of the Board of Directors for a project included in the District’s Capital Improvement Program.
Unrestricted
Unrestricted Net Position is the balance after amounts to be classified as Invested in Capital Assets or Restricted
have been determined. Unrestricted Net Position increased $11.6 million to $24.4 million in fiscal year 2018-19.
Capital Assets
The District spent approximately $28.8 million for expansion or replacement of property, plant, and equipment during
the 2018-19 fiscal year. These amounts are reflected in Utility Plant, or as additions to Construction in Progress, in
the accompanying financial statements.
Placed in Service
During the 2018-19 fiscal year, District staff, consultants, and contractors completed work on the following:
• Replaced second complete train of filtration membranes in District’s surface water treatment plant;
• Installed 2,709 new automated meters.
• Purchased land to serve as the site for a new reservoir in the District’s Canal pressure zone.
• Replaced 1,285 feet of sewer main.

2019. With approximately 15 projects in progress, additions to CIP totaled $28.0 million, while $3.0 million was
capitalized and transferred to Utility Plant in Service.
Of the $37.7 million balance in Construction in Progress at June 30, 2019, 95% is related to a single project, the
Sterling Natural Resource Center.
The SNRC is a water recycling plant capable of converting six million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater into
recycled water that can be recharged into the local groundwater basin. Future phases will increase capacity of the
plant to 10 mgd.
The SNRC project includes new interceptor mains to divert wastewater flows, treatment plant and administration
facilities, solid waste digesters, and a recycled water pipeline for delivering water to recharge ponds. The total cost
to build the project is approximately $181 million. Through June 30, 2019, project costs totaled $35.7 million.
Funding for the project will include a grant and low interest loan from the SWRCB totaling $157 million, an $18
million contribution for the basin water master for the recycled water pipeline, $4.5 million from anticipated sales tax
exclusions / Edison rebates, and $1.5 million from District development impact fees or other reserves.
One other very important project is the installation of automated metering infrastructure (AMI). Three of seven
phases of a plan to convert all District meters to remote read capability are completed and approximately half of the
District’s 22 thousand accounts have been converted. The District plans to complete the remaining phases by June
of 2022.

Future Capital Improvements - Water
The District’s ability to meet water quality requirements, promote water conservation, and increase efficiencies in
conducting District business are the driving forces by which District management develops long term capital plans.
To meet these objectives, the District’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan includes the following projects:
• Rehabilitation of District water storage tanks.
• Replacement of aging water distribution pipelines that require frequent repair and are suspected of causing
system water losses.
Additional water storage capacity was identified in a water system master plan update as a top priority over the next
five years. To address this issue, land has been purchased for a reservoir site, and discussions with developers
include upsizing on their plans to provide storage for their project. The master plan also discussed the feasibility of
building a new surface water treatment plant in the District’s east end, closest to the source of surface water and to
the largest areas of undeveloped land in the District’s service area.
Future Capital Improvements - Wastewater
The District maintains a list of recommended wastewater main replacements / rehabilitations based on assessments
of pipeline condition noted during video logging of the collections system. Pipelines assessed at the highest risk of
structural failure are prioritized on the District’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The District also completed an update to its Wastewater Collection System Master Plan in fiscal year 2018-19 which
identified three wastewater pipelines that are susceptible to surcharging during heavy rains. Undersized pipelines
can impede new development and will be included in discussions with developers as necessary.
Long Term Debt / Credit
The District’s long-term debt consists of Revenue Bonds issued through the East Valley Water District Financing
Authority (Authority), a blended component unit, loans from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR),
a capital lease purchase with US Bank, and a loan from the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District
(SBVMWD). Outstanding balances as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:
2010 Refunding Bonds 23,215,000$
2013 Refunding Bonds 12,085,000
SBVMWD Loan 3,006,022
AVAD Construction 77,764

Total 72,378,789$
The purposes for issuing the above debt and a schedule of debt related activity are contained in Note 5 to the
accompanying financial statements.
A new funding agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board, consisting of a $119.3 million loan at
1.8% and a $6.7 million grant, was finalized on June 26th, 2018. This funding was secured for the construction of

the SNRC water recycling plant. In July 2019 the District submitted a Final Budget Adjustment Form requesting that
the loan be increased to $150.3 million in order to add anaerobic digesters to the plant. Approval for the Final Budget
Adjustment is expected in October 2019.
Debt service of $6.8 million and plant operating expenses will be paid with $8.7 million currently paid to the City of
San Bernardino Water Department for wastewater treatment, Local Resource Investment Program payments
received from the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water Department for the use of recycled water produced by
the plant for groundwater recharge, tipping fees from waste haulers who dispose of liquid waste at the District
digesters, and energy sales of excess power produced by the digesters. The loan balance as of June 30,2019 is
$25.5 million; loan payments will begin one year after the Notice of Completion is filed for the SNRC.
All scheduled debt payments for fiscal year 2018-19 were paid timely.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Reporting Entity
The East Valley Water District is a special district that was formed in 1954, as a result of an election by local
residents who desired water service by a public water agency. Later, as the population increased, a modern
wastewater system was needed to replace the septic tanks used at the time. Citizens voted to give the District
responsibility for that service. The District encompasses an area of approximately 30.1 square miles and
provides water and wastewater service to the City of Highland, parts of the City of San Bernardino, and
unincorporated parts of the County of San Bernardino, California.
The East Valley Water District Financing Authority (Authority), and the North Fork Water Company (Company)
are component units of the East Valley Water District. A component unit is an entity which is financially
accountable to the primary government, either because the primary government appoints a voting majority of
the component unit's Board, or because the component unit will provide a financial benefit or impose a
financial burden on the primary government. The Authority, and Company are blended component units. Only
North Fork Water Company prepares separate financial statements.
The Authority was created in August 2010 by a joint exercise of powers agreement for the purpose of financing
public capital improvements. It is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the District's Board of
Directors. The Authority issued debt in October 2010 which is secured solely from installment payments under
an installment purchase agreement entered into by the District and the Authority.
The Company was established in February 1885 to deliver water, taken from the Santa Ana River, to its
property owner /shareholders. The Company is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of, and elected
by, Company shareholders. The District has purchased shares of Company stock as they become available
in order to secure rights to the Santa Ana River water and have it delivered to the District's surface water
treatment plant. At June 30, 2019, the District owned 6,588.15 of 7,156 outstanding Company shares.
Due to the number of Company shares owned, the District is able to appoint a majority of the Company’s
Governing Board and is therefore, financially accountable for the Company. In addition, management and
staff of the District have complete responsibility for the operations of the Company. As a result, the
Company's financial statements have been included in the accompanying financial statements as a blended
component unit. Copies of the Company's financial statements may be obtained from the District’s Finance
Department at 31111 Greenspot Road, Highland, California 92346.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
B) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and
basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current
financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or
events for recognition in the financial statements.
The District uses the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Accordingly, revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recorded when the liability
is incurred.
C) Comparative Data
Prior year data has been included where practical for comparison purposes only. The prior year data does
not represent a complete presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
D) Inventory Valuation
Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost method.
E) Capitalization and Depreciation
Capital assets purchased or constructed by the District are recorded at cost. Donated capital assets are
recorded at acquisition value as of the date received. The District has a capitalization threshold of $5,000.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets.
Water canals, water, and wastewater lines are depreciated over 25 to 50 years; office equipment and vehicles
are depreciated over 5 years.
Water stock and rights contributed to the District are recorded at the same value the District is currently paying
for the purchase of similar stock.
F) Restricted Assets
Certain assets of the District are restricted in use by ordinance or debt covenant and accordingly are shown
as restricted assets on the accompanying statement of net position. Unexpended Bond proceeds are set
aside for capital improvements, District deposits into Bond trustee accounts are to be used for debt service,
and utility deposits must be returned to the customers at their request after their account has been paid timely
for 12 consecutive months, or when their account is closed.

G) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents have been defined as demand
deposits and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 3 months or less. The District
invests funds with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Money Market Mutual Funds. Due to the
high liquidity of these investments, these funds are classified as cash equivalents.
H) Investments
The District has adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.
The objective of this Statement is to enhance comparability of financial statements among governments by
measurement of certain assets and liabilities at their fair value using a consistent and more detailed definition
of fair value and accepted valuation techniques. The definition of fair value is the price that would be received
to sell and asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. This Statement establishes a hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value.
I) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows
of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a
consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The District has three items which qualify for reporting in this
category; Deferred Outflows Charge on Refunding, Deferred Outflows Related to Pensions, and Deferred
Outflows Related to OPEB.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred inflows
of resources. This separate finanancial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an
acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The District has two items which qualify for reporting in this category:
Deferred Inflows related to Pensions and Deferred Inflows related to OPEB.
J) Compensated Absences
The District has a policy whereby an employee can accumulate unused sick leave and vacation. Sick leave
is to be used for extended periods of sickness; however, upon termination or retirement, a portion will be paid
as additional benefits to the employee. At retirement or termination, employees who have accumulated over
ten years of service will be paid between 50 to 70% of their unused sick leave (based upon their balance of
unused sick leave) at their regular payroll rates in effect at the date of termination. Also, employees can cash
out up to 300 hours of unused sick time, per calendar year, provided that a minimum of 160 hours is retained
after said cashout. The District has provided for these future costs by accruing a range of the earned and
unused sick leave and 100% of the earned and unused vacation.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
K) Classification of Revenue
As an enterprise (proprietary) fund, the District classifies its revenues into three classifications: operating
revenue, non-operating revenue, and contributions.
Operating revenues are defined as revenues realized by the District in exchange for providing its primary
services of water distribution and wastewater collection to its customers. Non-operating revenues are those
derived from the investment of cash reserves and from the disposal of excess property, and also include those
resources received from entities other than customers, such as governmental agencies and developers, for
purposes not related to capital improvement. Donated plant and cash received for capital improvement without
the requirement that the District give resources in exchange are recorded as contributions.
L) Use of Restricted Resources
The District uses restricted resources, prior to using unrestricted resources, to pay expenses meeting the
criteria imposed on the use of restricted resources by a third party.
M) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
N) Pension
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to
pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the District’s California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) are additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary
net position and have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose,
benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit terms.
O) Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
During 2018, the Distrtict adopted new accounting guidance GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Post Employment Benefits (GASB No. 75).
For purposes of measuring the District’s OPEB liability related to the California Employer’s Retirement
Benefits Trust (CERBT), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB,
and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the CERBT and additions to/deductions
from the CERBT fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by
the CERBT. For this purpose, the CERBT recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market
investments and participating interest earning investment contracts that have a maturity at the time of
purchase of one year or less, which are reported at cost.

Statement No. 84 Fiduciary
Activities
The statement improves guidance regarding the recognition
of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting
purposes by establishing criteria for identifying fiduciary
activities of all state and local governments. The statement
is effective for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018. Earlier application is encouraged.
Statement No. 87 Leases
The statement addresses accounting and financial reporting
for leases by governments. This statement requires
recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases
that previously were classified as operating leases and
recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources
based on the payment provisions of the contract. It
establishes a single model for lease accounting based on
the foundational principle that leases are financings of the
right to use an underlying asset. Under this statement,
lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an
intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required
to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of
resources. The statement is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier application is
encouraged.
Statement No. 89
Accounting for
Interest Cost
Incurred before
the End of a
Construction
Period
The statement requires that interest costs incurred before
the end of a construction period be recognized as an
expense in the period in which the cost is incurred for
financial statements prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus. As a result, interest costs
incurred before the end of a construction period will not be
included in the historical costs of a capital asset reported in
a business-type activity or enterprise fund. The statement
is effective for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2019. Earlier application is encouraged.
Statement No. 90

use of reverse repurchase agreements.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market
interest rates. One of the ways that the District minimizes its exposure to this type of risk is by investing in
investments with laddered maturity dates.

Fair Value Measurements
The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. These principles recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows:
• Level 1: Investments reflect prices quoted in active markets;
• Level 2: Investments reflect prices that are based on a similar observable asset either directly or indirectly,
which may include inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
• Level 3: Investments reflect prices based upon unobservable sources.
Valuation Technique: Level 2 Investments use the Market Approach which uses prices generated for identical or
similar assets or liabilities.
The District has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2019:

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a
government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure
of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code
requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure deposits by pledging government securities
as collateral. Such collateralization of public funds is accomplished by pooling. As such, collateralized securities
are held by the pledging financial institution's agent on behalf of the District. The fair value of the pledged securities
must equal at least 110% of Districts deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits
by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The District
may waive collateral requirements for deposits which are fully insured by Federal depository insurance.
As of June 30, 2019, the District had $5,567,791 deposited with financial institutions that were in excess of federal
depository insurance limits. The federal deposit insurance limit is $250,000.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The management of the State of California Pooled Money Investment Account (generally referred to as LAIF) has
reported to its participating agencies that, as of June 30, 2019, the carrying amount (at amortized cost) of the pool
was $105,325,060,682 and the estimated fair value of the pool was $105,814,483,092. The District's proportionate
share of the fair value (as determined by LAIF) as of June 30, 2019, was $14,796,935. Included in LAIF's
investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed
securities, loans to certain State funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-
sponsored enterprises, and corporations.

2010 Refunding Revenue Bonds
On October 29, 2010, the District issued $33,545,000 of East Valley Water District Financing Authority
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 (2010 Bonds), with interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 5.00%. The
purpose for issuing the 2010 Bonds was to provide $16,000,000 for future capital improvements, and for
refunding virtually all of the Districts outstanding long-term debt. The refunded debt included 1) $5,935,000 in
2001 Certificates of Participation bearing interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 5.00%, 2) a $7,867,528 balance
on a 2004 Installment Sale Note bearing interest at 4.50%, and 3) a $5,109,854 balance on a 2006 Installment
Sale Note bearing interest at 4.95%.
The refunding portion of the 2010 Bonds ($17,170,000) were issued at a premium of $1,630,726, and after
paying issuance costs of $318,849, net proceeds were $18,481,877. The net proceeds, combined with a
$920,318 sinking fund for 2001 COP debt service, were sufficient to accomplish the refunding of the existing
debt. All refunded debt has been retired leaving $0 of outstanding in-substance defeased debt.
The refunding resulted in a difference between the reacquisition price and the carrying amount of the old debt
of $259,548. This difference is included in the accompanying financial statements as a Deferred Outflows of
Resoures and is being charged to operations through the year 2024 using the straight-line method of
amortization. The indenture authorizes, upon default, the Trustee to declare immeditate due and payable the
total unpaid principal of the Bonds and accrued interest theron.

membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death
benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of
credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible
to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits
after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor
Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2 W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied
as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be
effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are
determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is
the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with
an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The District is required to contribute the
difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for the Plans
were as follows:

pension liability of the Plans as follows:
Table 8-3
Proportionate Share of
Net Pension Liability
Miscellaneous $ 10,846,955
The District’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net
pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2018, and the
total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2017 rolled forward to June 30, 2018 using standard update procedures. The
District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the District’s long-term share
of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers,
actuarially determined. The District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of
June 30, 2017 and 2018 was as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuations were determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Table 8-7
Miscellaneous
Valuation Date June 30, 2017
Measurement Date June 30, 2018
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 7.15%
Inflation 2.50%
Payroll Growth Varies by Entry Age and
Projected Salary Increase 2.5
Investment Rate of Return 7.15% (1)
(1) Net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation
were based on the results of a January 2014 actuarial experience study for the period 1997 to 2011. Further
details of the Experience Study can found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability remained the same at 7.15%. To determine
whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for the plan, CalPERS
stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially
assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current
7.15% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long
term expected discount rate of 7.15% will be applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund
(PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CalPERS
website.
CalPERS continues the Asset Liability Management (ALM) process to expand its review of assets and
liabilities to ensure financial risks to the System are better understood, communicated, and mitigated. To
establish appropriate levels of risk, ALM is focused on investment and actuarial policies. These policies
include key decision factors and intened to drive optimum asset allocations, while stabilizing employer
contribution rates, and the volatility of those rates year to year. Additionally, in order to better manage risks
arising from terminating agencies, CalPERS has enhanced its oversight of contracting public agencies'
financial health through its development of a standardized review criteria. These improvements include
streamlining the collection and termination process to reduce the timeframe, accelerating notifications to
the Board and members, and adopting a risk oversight process to improve early detection of financial
hardship issues.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

8) DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (PERS) – Continued
method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment
expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-
term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns
of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short
term (first 10 years) and the long term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected
nominal returns for both short term and long term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each
fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that
arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term
and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate
calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was
calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.
These rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Grant Awards
Grant funds received by the District are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Such audit could lead to
requests for reimbursements to the grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under terms of the grant.
Management of the District believes that such disallowances, if any, would not be significant.
10) RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors
and omission; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The District participates in a joint powers agreement
(JPA) with the Special District Risk Management Authority (Authority). The Authority is a risk-pooling self-
insurance authority created under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6500 et. sec. The
Authority is governed by a Board consisting of 7 directors that are either a manager or Board member of a current
member agency that were elected by members of SDRMA. The Board controls the operations of the Authority
including selection of management and approval of operation budgets. The relationship between the District and
the Authority is such that the Authority is not a component unit of the District for financial reporting purposes.
Settled claims have been immaterial and claims liabilities have not been reported in these financial statements as
of June 30, 2019, or in the previous two fiscal years.

Plan Description and Eligibility
The District contributes to the retiree health coverage of eligible retirees and eligible surviving spouses. As of
June 7, 2011, the District is part of the Public Agency portion of the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust
Fund (CERBT), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by California Public Employees’ Retirement
System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public
employers within the State of California. A menu of benefit provisions as well as other requirements is
established by State statute within the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The District selects optional benefit
provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits through District
resolution. CalPERS issues a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The CAFR is issued in
aggregate and includes the sum of all CalPERS plans. Copies of the CalPERS CAFR may be obtained from
the CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Membership in the health benefit plan consisted of the following at July 1, 2018, the date of the latest actuarial

Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the District are established and may be amended by the
Board of Directors. At retirement, the District provides the minimum employer contribution under the CalPERS
Health Program for eligible retirees and surviving spouses in receipt of a pension benefit from CalPERS. An
employee is eligible for this employer contribution provided they are vested in their CalPERS pension benefit
and commence payment of their pension benefit within 120 days of retirement with the District. Vesting requires
at least five years of service. The surviving spouse of an eligible retiree who elected spouse coverage under
CalPERS is eligible for the employer contribution upon death of the retiree.
Employees retiring with at least 10 years of District service will receive an additional District contribution through
attainment of Medicare eligibility age. The additional contribution is based on the negotiated dollar amount at
retirement (currently $700 per month). The surviving spouse of an eligible retiree is eligible for the District's

contribution upon the death of the retiree through the spouse's attainment of Medicare eligibility age.
The District’s funding policy is to contribute the Annual Determined Contribution (ADC) to their account within
the CERBT. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the District paid $149,548 to the plan including the implicit
rate subsidy. The District contributed $183,404 including the implicit rate subsidy for retiree health benefits to
the Trust during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

11) POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS - Continued
The long-term expected rate of return on Plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan
investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return
for each major asset class included in the OPEB plan’s target asset allocation at June 30, 2018 are shown
herein:

The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.50 percent. The discount rate assumes the
District continues to fully fund for its retiree health benefits through the CERBT under its investment allocation
strategy 2. The rate reflects the CERBT published median interest rate for strategy 2 with an additional margin
for adverse deviation.

Capacity Charge Funds
Year Ended June 30, 2019

Capacity Charge Funds
Government Code Section 66013 requires local agencies that collect capacity charges to deposit and account for
these fees in a separate capital facilities fund. In addition, local agencies are required to annual provide the information
in this report to the public upon request. Government Code Section 66013 (b) (3) defines "Capacity charge" means a
charge for public facilities at the time the charge is imposed or charges for new public facilities to be acquired or
constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to the person or property being charged, including supply or
capacity contracts for rights or entitlements, real property interests, and entitlements and other rights of the local
agency involving capital expense related to its use of the use of existing or new public facilities. "
Government Code Section 66013 (d) outlines the reporting requirements on the capital facilities funds and
expenditures. Government Code Section 66013 (f) (2) exempts capacity charges that are used to pay existing debt
service from the reporting requirements of Section 66013 (d). Two of the District's capacity charges are used to pay
existing debt service; therefore, they are exempt from the reporting requirements. For the purpose of enhancing
transparency, the District has provided the reporting information on its capacity charges that are exempt from Section
66013 (d).
The District has the following capacity charge funds:
Water Capacity Fee Fund. This fund collects System Capacity Charges for new water service connections to pay for
proportionate shares of the District equipment replacements and facility improvements.
Wastewater Capacity Fee Fund. This fund collects a fee for the capacity used by new wastewater connections and
the funds are used to pay for equipment replacements and facility improvements.

Board of Directors
East Valley Water District
Highland, California
We have audited the financial statements of the East Valley Water District (the District) as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2019, and have issued our report thereon dated October 1, 2019. We have
previously communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, as well as
certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by East Valley Water District are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
In 2018-19, the District adopted new accounting guidance:
As shown in Note 5 to the financial statements, the District implemented GASB Statement No.
88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements.
As a result of this implementation, District separated direct placements and direct borrowings
from other debt and also added additional essential information related to debt in the note.
Other than as described above, no other new accounting policies were adopted and the application of
existing policies was not changed during 2018-19.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial
statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial
statements were:

Management’s estimate of the useful lives of its capital assets and the related period of
depreciation which is based on historic knowledge of the assets and the frequency with which
capital assets must be replaced;
Management’s estimate of the fair value of investments based upon relevant information about
similar investments held in managed portfolios and used to determine the probable market value
of the investments;
Management’s estimate of pension liabilities and postemployment benefits based upon actuarial
assumptions; and
Management’s estimate of unbilled revenues which is based on the revenue cycle of the water
system and expected usage of water using historic information.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the sensitive accounting estimates
described above in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a
whole.
Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing
our audit.
Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any uncorrected financial statement
misstatements.
Corrected Misstatements
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any financial statement misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our audit.

In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves
application of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type
of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Significant Issues Discussed With Management Prior To Engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However,
these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were
not a condition to our engagement.
Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements,
we made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the
RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, and whether there were
any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the RSI.
We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during the audit of the basic financial statements.
Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient evidence, we did not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the RSI.
With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, on which we
were engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine
that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period or the reasons for such
changes, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial
statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We have
issued our report thereon dated October 1, 2019.
The introductory and statistical sections accompanying the financial statements, which is the
responsibility of management, was prepared for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the financial statements. Such information was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements, and, accordingly, we did not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on it.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Board of Directors
East Valley Water District
Highland, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of East Valley Water District (the District) as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the policies and procedures of the State Controller’s Office Division of Local Government
Fiscal Affairs Minimum Audit Requirements for California Special Districts, and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the District’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Board of Directors

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the District as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and
cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Emphasis of a Matter
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Districted adopted the provision of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 88 Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including
Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements (see Note 5). Our auditors’ opinion was not modified with
respect to the implementation.
Other Matters
Prior Period Comparative Information
We have previously audited the District’s 2018 financial statements and we expressed an unmodified
opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated October 2, 2018. In our opinion, the
partial comparative information presented herein as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, is
consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because
the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the District’s basic financial
statements. The introductory section, the supplementary information as listed in the table of contents,

and the statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In
our opinion, the supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 1,
2019 on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of the District’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
– 1 –
Board of Directors
East Valley Water District
Highland, California
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the
East Valley Water District (the District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019 and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 1, 2019.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
– 2 –
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an
opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of non-
compliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
