Dear Administrator Whitraan:
We are writing to request clarification concerning EPA's plans to promulgate a final regulation for radon in
drinking water. We are grateful for your decision in January to withdraw the radon nde for further
consideration. This action provides the opportunity for EPA and the Congress to work together to create a
radon standard that is both workable and offers the greatest degree of public health prciection,
We represent eeng~ssional districts that would face great hardship if the rule as currently proposed were
made final. Under this proposal, local water agencies and state health departments would be forced to launch
complex and costly new regulatory programs. We note, however, that the May 14, 2001 Federal Register
notice Section 3616, pages 26277-278 states that EPA will promulgate the final radon in drinking water nde on
September 1, 2001. Such a t/me fimne, in our view, does not allow enough time to create a common sense
radon regulation. Nor does it provide sufficient time to evaluate the findings of a General Aecotmmag Office
study nearing completion assessing the financial impacts of the proposed EPA regulation. As you know, the
report accompanying the FY 2002 VA-HUD and Independent Agencies Appropriations bill includes the
following language:
"The Committee notes that EPA is continuing to review the radon in drinking water nde proposed
in Febraaxy, 2000. As proposed, the nde could have an unnecessary financial impact on large
and small cities alike, as well as on l~cal water agencies. The Committee also notes the General
Accounfmg Office is studying the financial impacts ofthe proposed EPA regulation. Prior to
finalizing this rule, the Agency is expected to consider fully the GAO's findings. The Agency is
also expected to provide Congress with altemative regulatory actions that would provide
equivalent pubhc health protection without such unnecessary financial impacts on communities
and drinking water agencies."
In a letter to you dated July 9, 2001 the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA)
characterized the proposed radon regulation as "a Rule that needs significant discussion/redirection." We agree
with this assessment and urge EPA to move towards a single radon in drinking water standard set at 4,000
p/Ci/L representing the average outdoor level of radon in the air. We also urge you to accompany this single
radon standard for drinking water with an expanded program to address radon in indoor ak which EPA
concludes represents more than 98% of the existing pubhc health risk.
None of this is possible if the EPA issues a final radon regulation in little more than 30 days. Your clarification
and assurance that this will not occur is deeply appreciated.

Mr. Demetrios Vassilakos
6380 Denair Avenue

Subject: Cross-Connection Ordinance, East Valley Water District
(System No. 3610064)
Dear Mr. Vassilakos:
This is in response to your letter dated July 5,2001, offering further changes to the Cross-
Connection Ordinance of the Eas~ Valley Water District.
In your letter, you appear to request the following
· evidence' of actual or potential cross-connection
· identification of toxic or infectious materials and substances on premise.
You also refer to expensive installation and maintenance of baLk flow devises and assert
that the water customer must have the right to make changes to eliminate the potential
cross- connection.
The documented cases of actual cross-connection incidents are no doubt useful
information. However, it is widely accepted that not all cases of cross-cbrmection
incidents have been documented. Evidence o£a cross-connection is usually available as
after-the- fact information and by then, it would be too late to prevent the consequences
of contamination. Contamination from cross-connections may arise from any wastewater,
including toxic and infectious. Since the nature ofwastewater is unknown, it is difficult
to identify the specific contaminants. Suffice to say, a public water supply must be
protected from any type wastewater through backflow devises. Changes to plumbing at
premises to avoid backflow devises may or may not be adequate to minimize the
potential for cross-connection depending on the nature of the changes, and such situations
must be evaluated on a case by case basis. Further, such changes may not be permanent
requiring periodic inspections for verification.
Please note that the backflow devises are preventive measures and therefore we.maintain
that the cost of the installation and maintenance of the backflow devise is justified for the
protection of the public water supplies from potential cross-connections. In connection
with your analysis of the word, 'potential,' you rightly suggest that the '"potential" for
Mr. Demetri0s Vssilakos
July 18, 2001
Page 2
backflow always exists.' The provisions in Title 17 and the Ordinance are meant to
manage the risk of contamination from cross-connections in the light of knowledge and
experience of the certified specialists in a given area for different types of premises. We
however support that a consumer must have the fight to appeal to the Board for dispute
resolution.
In conclusion, we would like to state that it is the responsibility of the East Valley Water
District to use such language and definitions in their Ordinance as are appropriate for the
conditions in their service area to comply with the Title 17 requirements.
Thank you for your interest in the matter.

Dear Dr. Baliga,
Thankyou for your thoughtful comments to ourpr°P°sed revisions to the EVWD's Ordinance
#358, Section 9 (letter to Mr. Martin, dated 6/28/0I). Also, I would like to thank Mr. Glem~
Lightfoot, President, and all of the Directors of the East Valley Water D/strict (EVWD); Mr.
Robert Martin, General Manager of the EVWD; and Mr. Steven Kenedy, General Counsel of
the EVWD; for their time reviewing our proposal and for their insightful comments.
Following please f'md our response.
First, let me assure you that none of us opposes protection of our public water system with
Backflow Prevention Devices (BPD's) where they are needed. Also, all of us wish to abide
by the Law i.e. the Title 17 requirements, the California Plmnbing Code, the EVWD
ordinances and all other applicable laws. In particular, I would like to call your attention to the
following:
Title 17 requires water s,,u~_ql?liers to establish and follow certainCrocedures:
1. §7584(b) states: 'The conducting of surveys to identify water user premises where
cross-connections are likely to occur".
2. §"7585 states: "The water supplier shall evaluate the degree of potential hea!t~h, hazard
to the public water supply which may b~ ~reated as a result of conditions ex~stmg on a
user's premises .... "
3. §7604, Table 1, provides a partial list of what a surveying inspector should look for.
It appeared to us that the above procedures required the use of numerical values--hence
our request that quantitative values be assigned to survey findings, risk analysis, and so
on. Th~s still is a good thing to strive for in the future. Looking on past st. atistical and
otheor data w? can derive quantitative (numerical) v,alues predicting likely future
permrmance. However, your comments and Mr. Martin s comments indicate that this
cannot be done now, and we accept that.
So we must fred another (non quantitative) way to accomplish the goals which are:
· To abide strictly by the letter and intent of Title 17 in all respects.
· To revise the EVWD ordinance #358, Section 9, so that it is up to date and fair to all water
consumers and so that it is effective towards producing and maintaining the highest water
quality obtainable.
· Toprovide the water customer the right to know that there is clear and sufficient
evidence for the expensive installation and maintenance ora BPD before it is imposed on
~er. The inspector's written report should state the kind of toxic and/or infectious.
materials and substances handled or stored in the premises and any other data and factors;
pertinent to the requirement for installation of a BPD.
· To provide the water customer the right to make changes to eliminate the potential of
cross connection, if such potential exists, in order to avoid installation of a BPD. Such
changes may be recommended by the surveying inspector to the customer as an altemative
option to installing a BPD.
· To make the water customer premises inspection / survey procedures objective enough to
reduce the possibility of unequal treatment of water customers by inspectors.
· To remove the unconditional installation of BPD requirement at apartment premises in the
absence of factorS identified in the Section 7585 of Title 17. Residential premises do not
belong on the same hazardous-premises list as mortuaries and sewage plants.
· To remove the unconditional installation of BPD requirement at commercial premises in
the absence of factors identified in the Section 7585 of Title 17. Simple accounting and
book keeping offices, law offices, real estate offices, mom and pop retail stores, and other
such premises should not need a BPD.
· To establish the right to appeal Inspectors' findings to the EVWD's Board of Directors if
one believes the inspection findings and conclusions are unjustified.
As fbr the term "Potential". When used ,~ith no boundary levels, "Potential", meaning chance
or probability for, covers anything from Practically impossible" to "Practically actual*', which
makes it meaningless for any practical purpose. For example, "Potential" for backflow
always exists, negligible and harmless as it may be. If the term has to be used in the
Ordinance, we propose to define it as follows (or using other words limiting it from below):
· The term "potential" in the context of this ordinance shall be bounded to mean something
perceived that is likely to develop into or become actual.
This does not violate Title 17 in the context of Ordinance #358 because paragraph 9.06.02
identifies the "Hazardous Facilities" where BPDs are mandatory i.e., where the strictest
interpretation of "potential" would have applied.
In response to a comment from Mr. Martin we would like to redefine another term as follows:
· "Residential Facilities" in the context of Ordinance #358 Section 9 shall mean fixed
premises intended for residential use (houses, aparnnent, and condominiums).
Would you like us to rework our proposed revisions to the EVWD Ordinance #358, Section 9
according to the comments that you have given us so far? If so please let us know if you have
any additional comments on any of the goals which we have outlined above.
We are looking forward to working with you, the EVWD, and the community, in making the
Ordinance clear, equitable and fair, while providing effective water system safety--We believe
such cooperative effort by the parties involved is the best alternative to follow. Thank you,

Insert in the 7/10/01 meeting minutes of the Ordinance #358 section 9 discussion.
In response to Mr. Vassilakos' request that apartments, accounting and law offices, real
estate offices and small retail shops be removed from the list of facilities where
installation of BPD's is mandatory, the General Counsel Mr. Kennedy stated that an
order to install a BPD can be appealed to the EVWD board in all cases. Mr. Kennedy
added that listing a facility in the EVWD Ordinance #358 paragraph 9.06.02 does not
make installation ora BPD in that facility mandatory but it merely shifts the burden of
proof from the EVWD Inspector (that a BPD is needed) to the facility owner (that a BPD
is not needed).
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING REVISION TO SECTION 9 OF
DISTRICT ORDINANCE NO. 3S8 (CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL)
Tim Generallvlanager presented to the Board a copy o fa letter dated June 28,200 l, f~om Kalyanpur
Y. Baliga, Senior Sanitary Engineer for the Drinking Water Field Operations Branch of the State of
California Department of Health Services. Demetrios Vassilnkos preseuted to the Board a copy of
a response letter to Dr, Baliga dated July 5, 2001,
A lengthy discussion ensued during which Mr. Vsssilakos requested clarification on Ihe manner in
which Section 9.06.02 of Ordlnancc No. 35g (which lists those "typical facilities where the District
requires the inst, al~ion ofapproved hack flow prevention assemblies") will he applied. Legal Counsel
Kennedy stated that the facilitles identified in Secxion 9,06.02 were intended to be '`typical". but not
exhaustive * ofthe kinds of sy~*tems that would be subject to the requiremem of installation of a
backflow p~ventlon device. Construction of Ordinance No. 358 must he sufficiently flexx'ole to
enable the District to address the rayriad of potential problems that would trigge~ thc Distrlct's legal
obligation to "protect the public water supply from contamination'* as required by Section 7584
oft, he C*q~liF~rttia Code of Regulations. However, Section 9.05 of Ordinance No. 358 expressly
provides that any determination by the Distriet concern~ the necessity of a I~tckflow prevention
device must be suppolted by v.q'itten notice thereof to thc affected customer. If the customer
disagrees with said determination, he or she may exercise the complaint procedure set forth in Section
11 of Ordi_v~vwe No. 358, the ut;l!?~*tion of which would operutc to shift the burden of proof to the
asgrleved party to suppogt said complaint.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board directed District staff to continue to move forward
with the in~leme~tation of the Cruss-Connectiorn Control Program set forth in Ordinance No, 355
duly adopted by the Board April 9, 2001.

The Honorable Christie Whitman
Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Ariel Rios Building (MC-II01)
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20460
Dear Administrator Whitman:
On behalf of the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA), I would like
to commend you for your recent initiative to review and revise the Agency's basic regulatory
development process. ASDWA represents the state drinking water programs nationwide that are
responsible for implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1996.
As you are aware, the new SDWA requires states and water systems to comply with
significant new mandates such as capacity development, source water assessment and delineations,
operator certification requirements, and many new regulations such as the arsenic, radon, and ground
water roles. The greatest impact from these roles will be fek by small water systems that represent
over 85 percent of the community water systems in this country. These systems serve less than 3,300
people with many serving less than 500 people.
The recent pace of new program adoption has been staggering for state drinking water
programs and will have significant impacts on water systems. State efforts have been further
hindered by the FY-01 cuts and proposed FY-02 cuts in both the Public Water System Supervision
(PWSS) program which helps fund some of the state costs to implement Federal requirements, and
the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan (SRF) Fund which is intended to provide funding to water
systems for much needed infrastructure improvements.
As I understand the review process, this initiative will seek to fred innovative approaches to
regulation including:
a greater partnership with state officials in crafting new regulations,
· a consideration for complex policy issues earlier in the role-writing process,
an evaluation of the potential outcome and effectiveness of a role at the
beginning of the role development process,
· the improved incorporation of small business concerns into Agency roles, and
the possibility of prioritizing regulations in program offices where several
regulations are under development at the same time.
State drinking water program administrators also believe that the review should include:
greater consideration for concise data management requirements and a
direction to reduce unnecessary data management burdens, and
incorporation of thinking around compliance determinations and potential
enforcement actions early in the role making process.
The members of ASDWA applaud and fully support the need for this evaluation and changes
to the rule development process and would like to volunteer to be part of this effort. One area for
review includes the prioritization of regulations under development. A quick review of the Agency's
regulatory agenda (May 14, 2001 Federal Register pgs. 26120-26281) demonstrates the need for this
activity. Under the SDWA, the Agency currently has four initiatives in the pre-role stage; five rules
in the proposed rule stage; and seven roles in the final rule stage. This totals 16 rulemaking efforts
that are currently underway that EPA staff as well as state drinking water programs must be involved
in. On top of this, the regulatory agenda lists five completed actions that states are currently
implementing (in addition to the many new programmatic activities states have underway - some of
which were listed in the beginning of this letter).
States strongly believe in and support public health protection. The best efforts of EPA and
the states however, will be meaningless if states are unable to implement the regulations, and water
systems are unable to understand them or afford the costs of compliance. A more rational,
thoughtful approach needs to be brought to these efforts.
In reviewing the regulatory agenda, the state drinking water administrators have the following
suggestions for prioritizing the Agency's workload:
Rule Prlorities
The role priorities for current action should include the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule due to important public health benefits. Recent promulgation of the Filter Backwash
Recycle Rule will also improve water plant operations and decrease the opportunities for microbial
contamination. The states also support the efforts underway to review the arsenic standard and are
working with your staff and the NDWAC m expedite this review and final rulemaking.
The states also believe that the Agency should move forward with setting a primary (not
secondary) standard for MTBE. A number of states are already working on developing standards
and without Federal leadership, the result will be a patchwork of varying standards across the
country.
States have also been working with the Agency for years in the development of a Ground
Water Rule. The promulgation of this role has been problematic because of differences in opinions
and professional judgments between many in the states and the Agency, and the distinctly different
approaches states are taking to ground water and public health protection. Recent conversations with
your staff, however, have increased our optimism that common ground and agreement may be
reached. We believe that a renewed dialogue among states and EPA staffthis summer could resuk in
agreement on key elements of a final role. We are prepared to take the necessary steps and commit
time and resources to work through these issues with your staff.
States are also willing and prepared to work with the Agency in development of the LT2 and
Stage 2 M/DBP regulations. A number of concerns have been raised about mon/toring with regard
to frequency and timing as well as other issues. States believe that an opportunity for further
dialogue will help shape a better proposal that is ultimately implementable by the states and water
systems yet remains consistent with the Agreemem in Principle document signed by the members of
the FACA.
A Rule That Need Si_enifieant Discussion/Redirection
The states do not support the l~adon Kule as currently proposed with a dual standard of 300
and 4,000 pCi/L and requirements for multi-media mitigation programs. With 98 percent of the
radon problem coming from indoor air, state dr'raking water programs cannot afford the cost, public
confusion, and questionable public health benefit of attempting to regulate air quality through the
drinking water program. States have, from the beginning, supported a 4,000 pCi/L MCL in drinking
water and a strengthening of the air standards and requirements where they belong - in the air
program. We would strongly encourage you and the Agency to rethink the direction of this role and
are prepared to work with you to find an appropriate solution to resolve this issue.
The state dr'raking water programs across this country are committed to ensuring public
health protection and the full and effective implementation of the SDWA. To accomplish this
significant effort; however, states as well as water systems need adequate resources, an orderly and
systematic role development process, and the ability to focus on outcome performance-based
measures using the full suite of state authorities and tools.
Again, on behalf of the state dr'raking water program administrators, I support you and the
Agency in your regulatory review efforts and offer our services and staffto participate in the review
process as well as the development of future regulations. Please have your staff contact Vanessa
Leiby, the ASDWA Executive Director, at (202) 293-7655 to discuss opportunities for our members
to be involved in these activities. I can be reached at (360) 236-3110 should you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
To: East Valley Water District Board of Directors
From: Robert E. Martin, General Manager
Date: June 29, 2001
Subj: Required Report on Public Health Goals
Attached, for your review, is the final draft of a report prepared by staff comparing
the District's drinking water quality with Public Health Goals (PHGs) adopted by
California EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and with
maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) adopted by the USEPA. PHGs and MCLGs
are not enforceable standards and no action to meet them is mandated.
SB 1307 (Calderone-Sher; effective 1-1-97) added provisions to the California
Health and Safety Code which mandate that a report be prepared by July 1, 1998 and
every three years thereafter. The attached report is intended to provide information to
the public in addition to the Consumer Confidence Reports mailed to each customer.
Our water system complies with ail of the health-based drinking water standards
and maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) required by the California Department of
Health Services and the USEPA. No additional actions are recommended unless any
constituent levels approach or exceed their respective MCLs.
The new law requires that a public hearing be held (which can be part of a
regularly scheduled public meeting) for the purpose of accepting and responding to
public comment on the report. This public hearing will be scheduled as part of our
regular board meeting scheduled for July 24, 2001, and will be noticed as required for
public hearings.
REM/Ih
Enclosed as noted
Meeting Public Health Goals and
Maximum Contaminant Level Goals
at
East Valley Water District
July 1, 2001
Background:
Provisions of the California Health and Safety Code (Reference No. 1)
specify that the larger (>10,000 service connections) water utilities prepare a
special report by July 1, 2001 if their water quality measurements have exceeded
any Public Health Goals (PHGs). PHGs are non-enforceable goals established
by the California-EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
(OEHHA). The law also requires that where OEHHA has not adopted a PHG for
a constituent, the water suppliers are to use the Maximum Contaminant Level
Goals (MCLGs) adopted by United States EPA (USEPA). MCLGs are similar to
PHGs but developed by the Federal Government. Both of these goals designate
a contaminant level where no health risk exists, Only constituents which have a
California primary drinking water standard and for which either a PHG or MCLG
has been set are to be addressed in this report. (Reference No. 2 is a list of all
regulated constituents with the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and PHGs
or MCLGs).
There are a few constituents that are routinely detected in water systems
at levels usually well below the drinking water standards for which no PHG nor
MCLG has yet been adopted by OEHHA or USEPA. Among these are Total
Trihalomethanes. This contaminant and others will be addressed in a future
report after their PHG or MCLG has been adopted by the respective agency.
The California Health and Safety Code (Reference No.1) specifies what
information is to be provided in the report.
If a constituent was detected in the District's water supply in 2000 at a
level exceeding an applicable PHG or MCLG, this report provides the information
as required by the law. Included is the numerical public health risk associated
with the MCL and the PHG or MCLG, the category or type of risk to health that
could be associated with each constituent, the best treatment technology
available that could be used to reduce the constituent level, and an estimate of
the cost to install that treatment if it is appropriate and feasible.
What Are PHGs?
PHGs are set by the OEHHA which is part of Cai-EPA and are based
solely on public health risk considerations. None of the practical risk-
management factors that are considered by the USEPA or the California
Department of Health Services (CDHS) in setting drinking water standards
(MCLs) are considered in setting the PHGs. These factors include analytical
detection capability, treatment technologies, benefits and costs. The PHGs are
not enforceable and are not required to be met by any public water system.
MCLGs are the federal equivalent to PHGs.
Water Quality Data Considered:
Alt of the water quality data collected by our water system in 2000 and
previous years for purposes of determining compliance with drinking water
standards were considered. The more recent data was all summarized in our
2
2000 Consumer Confidence Report, which was mailed to all of our customers
around the middle of June this year. (Reference No.3)
Guidelines Followed:
As in the past, the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA)
formed a workgroup which prepared guidelines for water utilities to use in
preparing these newly required reports. The ACWA guidelines were used in the
preparation of our report. No specific guidance was directly available from the
state regulatory agencies.
Best Available Treatment Technology and Cost Estimates:
Both the USEPA and CDHS adopt what are known as BATs or Best
Available Technologies which are the best known methods of reducing
contaminant levels to or below the MCL. Costs can be estimated for such
technologies. However, since many PHGs and all MCLGs are set much lower
than the MCL, it is not always possible nor feasible to determine what treatment
is needed to further reduce a constituent downward to or near the PHG or
MCLG, many of which are set at zero. Estimating the costs to reduce a
constituent to zero is difficult, if not impossible because it is not possible to verify
by analytical means that the level has been lowered to zero. In some cases,
installing treatment to try and further reduce very Iow levels of one constituent
may have adverse effects on other aspects of water quality.
Constituents Detected That Exceed a PHG or a MCLG:
The following is a discussion of constituents that were detected in one or
more of our drinking water sources at levels above the PHG, or if no PHG, above
the MCLG.
.Fluoride
The MCL for fluoride is 1.4-2.4 mg/I depending upon the average
temperature of the service area. The MCL for the East Valley Water District is
2.0 mg/I, It is noteworthy, however, that there is a recommended level of 0,7
mg/I to prevent tooth decay. The PHG for fluoride is 1 mg/I
The category of health risk for fluoride is chronic toxicity and the mottling
of teeth. The Federal MCL is 4.0 mg/I which protects against fluoride's toxic
properties. The notably lower California MCL range of 1.4-2.4 mg/I protects
against tooth mottling. Numerical health data on fluoride has not been provided
by OEHHA.
Among all of our active wells, Well No. 25 and Well No. 39 were the only
wells with fluoride levels in excess of the PHG of 1.0 mg/I. Well No. 25 produced
water with a level of 1.37 mg/I. Well No. 39 pumped water with a fluoride level of
2.6 mg/I which not only exceeded the PHG, but also exceeded the MCL. When
combined with the other District wells, the fluoride concentration in the system
averages near 0.45 mg/I. On February 22, 1995, the District requested that a
variance be issued in accordance with Assembly Bill 2681 (HSC, Section
116430). In accordance with the provisions of the Bill, a public hearing was held
on June 26, 1995, in the City of Highland to solicit public comment regarding the
issuance of the variance. The Department of Health Services (DHS) concluded
that substantial public opposition was not expressed at the hearing or by written
comments to the DHS. Based upon these findings, the DHS advised the District
by letter dated June 27, 1995, that the variance would be granted by permit
provision that established an upper limit of 3.0 mg/I. Continued public notification
and reevaluation of the variance at least every five years was required. The
CDHS is in the process of reevaluating this waiver. The District has operated the
well in such a manner as to assure that the levels in the system stay well below
4
the 3.0 mg/I value. Currently, the well is not in service based upon a
recommendation by CDHS.
Staff does not recommend treating any of the water from the District's
wells to specifically reduce the fluoride levels to meet the PHGs. No difficulties
have been reported from the District's customers. The token benefit received
from this treatment would probably not justify the costs. The District researched
the various techniques to reduce the fluoride levels at Plant 39 and found that the
ion exchange treatment method would produce favorable results. Using some
more recent cost data on ion exchange systems, staff found that construction
costs per site would be on the order of $1.3 million providing there would be
enough room at each location. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to treat the
water from Well No. 25 at its current plant site. Operations and maintenance
cost at each site would be about $70,000 per year. The waste from this process
consists of concentrated brine solution with a disposal cost ranging between
$150,000 and $325,000 per year based upon current disposal options. The
annualized costs for the two sites would be about $800,000 or about $40 per
year per average customer depending on their particular usage. The District is
contemplating building a water dilution system at Plant No. 39 to positively
reduce the fluoride levels from Well No. 39 to less than the MCL and, if feasible,
less than the PHG. The cost of such a project is currently estimated at $200,000.
Lead and/or Copper:
Instead of using a MCL for lead or copper, the 90th percentile value of all
samples from selected household taps in the distribution system cannot exceed
an Action Level of 0.015 mg/I for lead and 1.3 mg/I for copper. The PHG for lead
is 0.002 mg/I. The PHG for copper is 0.17 mg/I.
The category of health risk for lead is damage to the kidneys or nervous
system of humans. The category of health risk for copper is gastrointestinal
5
irritation. Numerical health risk data on lead and copper have not been provided
by OEHHA.
All of our source water samples for 2000 were less than the PHGs for lead
and copper. Based on extensive sampling of selected household kitchen or
bathroom taps in 1992 and 1993, our 90th percentile values for lead at the tap
were 0.015 mg/I and 0.006 mg/I and the corresponding copper values were 0.555
mg/I and 0.645 mg/I. Because of the wide variance in values, the District
conducted subsequent testing that produced similar results. Even though the
results did not exceed the action levels, the District, due to the size of its service
population, had to perform additional testing to determine if the water was
optimized with respect to corrosion control.
The District, through its consultants, tested its water after applying various
types of corrosion control techniques and found that the water's ability to dissolve
lead could be partially mitigated. The results of the testing suggested that the
water could be treated with a proprietary phosphate compound and reduce its
ability to dissolve the lead commonly found in lead solder and brass fixtures.
Subsequent testing of the effects that the phosphate solution had on copper
samples indicated that the treated water demonstrated a reduced potential to
dissolve copper. Apparently the phosphate compound forms a chemical complex
with the two metals thus reducing their tendency to corrode. Considering these
findings, the requirements in the Lead and Copper Rule and our extensive lead
and copper corrosion testing program, the District began installing phosphate
injection systems in late 1998. Due to the wide variance in water quality across
the District system, Staff initially installed the phosphate injection systems on the
easterly wells and the surface water treatment plant at cost of approximately
$26,000 per site. The District spent a total of $180,000 to install systems at
Plant. Nos. 40, 120, 121, 125, 143, 146 and 134. The annual cost for this
treatment is on the order of $25,000 or about $1.25 per year for the average
customer after the first year of operation. It appears that the customers are
6
receiving benefit from the phosphate treatment in that lead and copper results
from the November 2000, testing program indicated 90th percentile values of
0.0071 rog/lead and 0.527 mg/I for copper.
Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroeth¥1ene) or PCE
PCE has a MCL of 0.005 mg/I and it is a human carcinogen. The cancer
risk at the MCL is considered to be 7 X 10'6 or one chance in 7 million that a
person will develop cancer if they drank water at the MCL over their lifetime.
There is no PHG for PCE but the MCLG set by the USEPA is zero. The
numerical health risk for a MCLG of zero is zero.
In 1994, the District detected PCE in eight of its wells. The well at Plant
No. 9 had problem levels of PCE for many years and in 1996, staff detected
levels above the MCL. Fortunately, the water exceeding the MCL for PCE never
entered the system because staff took the well out of service previously due to
excessive nitrate levels. Currently the PCE level at Plant 9 is approximately
0.0012 mg/I. With lower nitrate levels, this well is a candidate for reactivation.
The water samples from the three wells at the neighboring Cull Plant (Plant No.
132) also contained POE but none of the values exceeded the MCL. These wells
were also taken out of service due to high nitrate levels. As with Plant No. 9, the
nitrate levels at the Cull Plant have subsided and PCE is no longer detected. We
are planning to return these wells to service within a year following extensive
water testing.
The well at Plant No. 12 had a single sample showing a level of 0.0007
mg/I in June of 1994 with no further detection of PCE since then. The single
detection event at Plant No. 12 may have been just an anomaly.
Over the years, the well at Plant No. 40 produced water with a PCE
content that consistently ranged between non-detection and 0.001 mg/I. This is a
high producing well with relatively Iow PCE that needs considerable watching and
could be a candidate for GAC treatment in the future. During 2000, the PCE
values ranged between non-detection and 0.0006 mg/I. The space at Plant No.
40 is limited; therefore, additional land in the immediate vicinity may be required
to construct a treatment system.
Well No. 141 also produces water with a varying PCE level that ranged
between 0.0006 and 0.0009 mg/I in 2000. As with Plant No. 40, Plant No.141 is
small and may need to be expanded to accommodate treatment units.
Between the years of 1994 and 1997, the well at Plant 28 has produced
water with extremely variable PCE levels ranging from 0.0007 to 0.0049 mg/L
Early in 1998, before the water exceeded the MCL, the well was taken off line.
The District's Board of Directors authorized staff to install a Granular Activated
Carbon (GAC) system to protect customers from water containing PCE at levels
above the MCL. Following testing results showed that the PCE values exceed
the MCL at a level of 0.0055 mg/I. With the well initially producing about 900
gallon per minute (gpm), two GAC units were installed in 1998. Subsequently,
the District re-equipped the well to produce 2000 gpm. Accordingly, the District
installed two additional GAC units and re-activated the well in May 2000. The
cost for the four GAC units, including District labor, equipment upgrades, site
work and landscaping approached $500,000. Operational costs on a yearly
basis will be about $50,000 for carbon regeneration and $10,000 for District labor
for a total cost of $60,000 or about $3.00 per customer.
Similarly, the cost to treat the water at Plant Nos. 40 and 141 would be on
the order of $500,000 for each site because of their similar capacity. Operational
cost will be about $60,000 per year per site depending upon the wells' usage and
how the levels of PCE vary. The estimated annual cost for Plant 28, 40 and 141
will be approximately $180,000 or about $9.00 per customer.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION:
The drinking water quality of the East Valley Water District meets all State
of California, Department of Health Services and USEPA drinking water
standards set to protect public health. To further reduce the levels of the
constituents identified in this report that are already significantly below the health~
based Maximum Contaminant Levels established to provide "safe drinking
water", would require additional costly treatment processes.
The effectiveness of the treatment processes to provide any significant
reduction in constituent levels at these already Iow values is uncertain. The
health protection benefits of these further hypothetical reductions are not at all
clear and may not be quantifiable. Therefore, no action beyond the requirements
of the Lead and Copper Rule and the PCE situation at Plant No. 28 is proposed.

Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 45 mg/L is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in
drinking water can interfere with the capacity of the infant's blood to carry oxygen, resulting in a serious illness; symptoms
include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. High nitrate levels may also affect the ability of the blood to carry oxygen in
other individuals, such as pregnant women and those with certain specific enzyme deficiencies. Nib:ate levels may rise quickly
for short periods of time because of rainfall or agriculbaral activity.
In accordance with federal regulations adopted by the EPA, East Valley Water District conducted lead and copper surveys of the
water wiLl'dn 187 selected homes in our service area. These homes have plumbing materials that could have contributed signifi-
cant levels of lead and/or copper to your water. The results of this round of sampling are as follows: A total of 187 homes were
sampled; the 90th percentile value for lead was 7.1 ug/L; the 90th percentile value for copper was 527 ug/L; 19 samples were
above the 90th percentile value. None of the homes sampled exceeded the action level for these contaminants.

Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste or smell. It is fotmd throughout the United States. Radon can move through
the ground and into a home through, cracks and holes in the foundatioru Radon can build up to high levels in all types of homes.
Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water while showering, washing dishes, and other household activi-
ties. Compared to radon entering the home through soil, radon entering the home through tap water will, in most cases, be an
extremely small source of radon in indoor air. For example, the Radon level in the water would have to be one thousand p[co
Cwr[as per liter (pCi/L) in order to increase the Radon level in the air by 0.! (pCi/L). Radon is a known human carcinogen.
Breathing air that contains radon can lead to lung car~cer. If you are concerned about radon in your home, have the air in ~
your home tested. Testing is inexpensive and easy. You should have your home fixed ff the level of radon in your air is 4 ~[k~
pCi/L or higher. There are ways to fix a radon problem that aren't very costly. For additional information, call your State
radon program or call EPA's Radon Hot?fine (800-SOS-RADON).

California, Water Security and Bay-Delta Improvement Act
The California San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay-Delta) is the largest
estuary on the West Coast. Lying at the confluence of California's two largest rivers, the
Sacramento and the San Joaquin, the Delta includes 70,000 acres of wetlands. The Bay-Delta
is also critical to California's economy as a whole, supplying drinking water for two-thirds of
Californians and irrigation water for 200 crops, including 45 percent of the nation's produce.
However, the system no longer serves as a reliable source of high-quality water, and the
levees face an unacceptably high risk of breaching. Several native species in the area have
been listed as endangered.
In December 1994, the Bay-Delta Accord was signed by state and federal regulatory agencies,
with the cooperation of diverse interest groups. The Accord led to the establishment of the
CALFED Bay-Delta Program in May 1995, developing a long-term comprehensive plan to
restore ecological health and improve water management in the Bay-Delta system, while, at
the same time, honoring the water rights and private properV~ rights of local residents. In
September 1996, Congress passed and the President signed, the California Bay-Delta
Environmental Enhancement Act, which authorized $143.3 million per year in additional
federal funding for Bay-Delta ecosystem restoration activities in 1998, 1999, and 2000.
The "California Water Security Act" will continue to improve and restore ecological health
and water management in the Bay-Delta system, in addition to providing needed assistance to
the entire state of California for projects to improve water availability, quality and reliability.
A summary of the major provisions of the "California Water Security Act" include:
Improves Water AvallabiliW, Ouality and Reliabili .ty

program. This bill will add an additional $600 million for the loan program, bring the total
remaining sums available to roughly $1 billion. This component of the Water Enhancement
Security Act allow for:
Water districts to leverage up to $30 million per project;

Re: Year-End Write Off
The accounts considered as uncollectable for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2001 are comprised of two separate groups. The first group is of accounts
that are considered too small to be liened, bankruptcies and invalid liens.
These total $803.55. The second group are liens ten years old and unpaid.
If liens remain unpaid at the end of ten years, the District should write them
off or re-file the liens. These total $6,793.71. The total Bad Debt is
$7,597.26.
I am requesting approval from the Board of Directors to write off the
$7,597.26 as uncollectable.

East Valley Water District
Home Page
Welcome to East Valley's Home Page
East Valley Water District is a Special District, formed in 1954 through an election by
local residents who wanted water service by a public water agency. Originally called the
East San Bemardino County Water District, the name was changed to East Valley Water
Distdct in 1982. The District was originally formed to provide domestic water service to
the then-unincorporated and agricultural-based communities of Highland and East
Highlands. Later, as the population increased, the need for a modern sewer system to
replace the septic tanks became apparent. The residents voted to give East Valley
Water Distdct the responsibility for their sewer system, as they did earlier with their water
service.
Over the years, some of the District's service area was annexed to the City of San
Bernardino. But water service remained with the District, primarily due to logistics and
cost. In 1987, the City of Highland incorporated. Now, the District's previously
agriculturally dominated area is urbanized, and few orange groves remain. Before
September 2000, the District's service area was approximately 14,750 acres, or 28.5
square miles. An annexation in September 2000 increased to be District's service area
by 3,228 acres and includes the Greenspot area. The Distdct has a service population of

A Histor~ of Water In The District
The forefathers of the East Valley Water District, anticipating a growing demand and
expanding customer base, obtained water rights that date back over 100 years for the
use of surface water from the Santa Ana River, This surface water supplies a significant
portion of East Valley Water District's water needs. East Valley Water District's main
source of water is the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, which is located under the San
Bemardino Valley. The basin is made up of soil, sand, gravel, and is saturated with
water. The Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin is East Valley Water Districts most cost
effective source of water. It must be cared for, however, and protected against
contaminants. Groundwater pollution caused from agricultural runoff, and dumping of
industrial solvents, are two examples of problems East Valley Water District is dealing
with. Preventing contamination is much less expensive than cleaning it up.
SERVICE AREA OF EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
East Valley Water District is a County District, formed in 1954 through an election by
local residents who wanted water service by a public agency. Originally called the East
San Bernardino County Water District, the name was changed to East Valley Water
District in 1982. The District was originally formed to provide domestic water service to
the unincorporated and agricultural-based communities of Highland and East Highlands.
Later, as the population increased, the need for a modern sewer system to replace
existing septic tanks became apparent. The residents voted to give East Valley Water
District the responsibility for their sewer system, as they did earlier with their water
service.
Over the years, some of the District's service area was annexed to the City of San
Bernardino. But water service remained with the District, primarily due to logistics and
cost. In 1987, the City of Highland incorporated. Now, the District's previously
agriculturally dominated service area is urbanized. Before September 2000, the District's
service area was approximately 14,750 acres, or 28.5 square miles. An annexation in
September 2000 increased the District's service area by 3,228 acres, and includes the
V Greenspot Ranch Area. The District has a service population of approximately 65,000
and collects no tax money. All services are financed solely by rates - customers pay
only for the benefits and services they receive.
Because the District focuses on providing two services, water and sewer, East Valley
Water District has put together a professional team of experts to operate and maintain
both systems. The District has developed a straightforward management structure
consisting of a Board of Directors that is elected by its customers, a general manager
and staff members. The Board of Directors consists of five (5) members of the
community who represent their neighbors. To assure the highest quality, they hire
trained professionals to operate and maintain the District's facilities. This combination of
elected representatives and water professionals working together, provides the
customers of East Valley Water District with efficient and cost-effective water and sewer
operation.
SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER SOURCES OF WATER SUPPLY
The East Valtey Water District's main source of water for its customers is the Bunker Hill
Groundwater Basin. This source of water consists of a giant underground basin made
up of soil, sand and gravel saturated by water. Another high quality source of water is
the Santa Ana River, originating from snow-melt and springs high up in the San
Bernardino Mountains.
During dry years, when water supplies are short, East Valley Water District has the
option of obtaining supplemental water from the State Water Project through the San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. Water from the State Water Project is
imported from Northern California and is made available to San Bemardino Valley water
agencies. Local water however, acquired from the Santa Ana River and the Bunker Hill
Groundwater Basin, is the preferred .source of water for the community.
During wet years, when there is excess dyer water available, East Valley Water District
works with the San Bemardino Valley Water Conservation District to transport surplus
water to man-made spreading grounds. Spreading grounds are areas with porous soil
where surface water can easily percolate into the groundwater basin and be stored for
future use.
The District manages water through a system of pipelines, we[is, reservoirs, pur~ping
stations, and a treatment plant. The District's goal is to provide customers with excellent
service at a reasonable cost. The District produces and delivers approximately 748
gallons of water (one billing unit) to its customers for just 88 cents.
California has some of the most stringent water quality standards in the Nation. East
Valley Water District must monitor and test for quality at all well sites, the treatment
plant, in pipelines, and even in some of our customers' homes. All samples for testing
are sent to independent State certified laboratories. The standards are so strict that the
District must test for, and then remove, substances in quantities as small as one part per
billion. That is the equivalent of finding and removing one drop of water in a typical
swimming pool full of water. To meet these standards, East Valley Water District takes
its service water from high up in the Santa Aha River, ahead of most industrial,
agricultural and other kinds of potential contamination sources. The District's
groundwater is also of high quality. However, certain areas were contaminated in the
past and are no longer used as sources for water.
New regulations require that all surface water which has been exposed to air, such as
the Santa Ana River water, must be processed in the District's new state-of-the-art
treatment plant. This plant is highly automated, saving money by limiting the need for
staff supervision, Automated test equipment monitors the water quality at all times. The
treatment plant produces very high quality water which exceeds all current and
anticipated drinking water standards.
Another toot the District uses to maintain its distribution system is to periodically flush out
pipelines to ensure that they remain clean and clear. Also, a small amount of chlorine is
added to the water to ensure that it remains disinfected on its way to your home.
Though the added chlorine may sometimes affect the taste, it is necessary to protect
public health. To get rid of this taste you can set out a pitcher of water overnight so the
chlorine can evaporate. Then you can refrigerate it.
CALIFORNIA STATE WATER PROJECT
East Vai[ey Water District uses water from the State Water Project, which is imported
from Northern California only when necessary. Water from the State Water Project is
available through the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (link to SBVMWD),
which provides backup water supply to the District. The San Bernard[no Valley Municipal
Water District provides water from the State Water Project to water agencies throughout
the San Bernardino Valley. (Link to State Water Project) Imported water is available and
used on an as-needed basis.
The State Water Project consists of 22 dams and reservoirs. The largest storage
reservoir, with a capacity of 3.5 million acrs-feet is the Oroville Dam in northern
California. From there, water flows south to the Bay-Delta where the North and South
Bay aqueducts serve San Francisco Bay area communities. The 444-mile long Edmund
G. Brown California Aqueduct begins at the Delta Pumping Plant and parallels Interstate
5 south to the Tehachapi Mountains. To cross the Tehachapi's into southern California,
water is lifted by 2000 feet at the Robert D. Edmonston Pumping Plant.
About 30 percent of State Water Project water is used for irrigation, mostly in the San
Joaquin Valley. Approximately 70 percent is used for residential, municipal and industrial
use, mainly in Southern California.
Water from the State Water Project is more expensive than water that the District
obtains locally due to wheeling charges and pumping costs. But having State Water
Project water available for use during emergencies and drought situations provides
security for the District. Customers are assured that the District will be able to provide
water to them through any emergency situation.

Questions Frequently Asked by Our Customers
Q. What should I do if I have a concern about the quality of my water?.
A. On a daily basis, our District Water Quality Department samples water from water
sampling stations located throughout the District. These samples are sent to an
independent laboratory for analysis, thereby insuring that East Valley Water District is
providing the best quality water available. In addition, our Water Quality Department
flushes the water systems through selected fire hydrants on a regular basis. This
periodic flushing helps eliminate the possibility of stagnant water conditions. If you have
any questions or concerns regarding the quality of your water, call 909-888~8986.
Q. Can I test my own water at home?
A. Yes; you will have to make arrangements with a private laboratory. Costs can vary
significantly depending upon the contaminant that is being tested for. East Valley Water
District can provide you with information on your water quality and can test the water if
you have any questions or complaints. Local and state health departments can also
provide water quality and testing information. We are all responsible for preventing
water pollution, making the job of providing safe drinking water easier for all water
suppliers.
Q. What should I do if the water pressure at my house seems abnormally Iow or high?
A. Water pressure can fluctuate due to higher-than-normal demand placed on the water
system. This usually occurs dudng the summer months, when water usage is at its
highest level. In some instances, depending on location, customers may experience a
change in water pressure due to the increased number of wells and boosters operating
to meet water demand during peak usage times.
Q. What are the District's normal customer service business hours?
A. Customer service hours are Monday through Fdday, 8 AM to 5 PM, excluding
holidays.
Q. What should I do if I need emergency service?
A. The District has employees on cell for emergency service 24-hours a day, seven
days a week. After hours emergency calls are handled by the answering service, which
directs cells to the employee on cell. To report an emergency, call 909~889-9501.
Q. What are the best times to call or come in for customer service?
A. In order to keep costs down, the District maintains staffing levels to meet normal
customer service demands. However, during certain times, customers may experience
a delay. The busiest times for customer service are the first (1s~) through the fifth (5th)
and the 15th through the 20th of each month, as well as all Mondays.
Q. Where is the customer service department Ioceted?
A. The District is Ioceted at 1155 Del Rosa Avenue. The customer service department
is located at the front entrance.
Q. How does the District insure that meter readings are correct?
A. Our meter readers use handheld computers to allow the reading to instantly record.
If the reading is excessively high or Iow, the computer will alert the meter reader to
double-check the reading. At the end of each working day, the information is
downloaded to the main computer for billing.
Q. How can we help keep our water clean?
A. You can help protect all of our groundwater supplies by disposing of harmful
household products and other toxic chemicals in the proper manner. Household
hazardous waste includes cleaners, glues, soaps, pesticides, paints, fertilizers,
medicines, chrome, motor oil, and batteries. These waste materials should never be
dumped down the drain, in the trash, or on the ground. Instead they should be taken to
a hazardous waste collection or recycling center. Whenever possible, cutting down on
the use of toxic household products by switching to safer alternatives is encouraged.
Household hazardous waste should be taken to the San Bernardino County Fire
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 2824 East "VV" Street (Ioceted at the
former Norton Air Force Base). It is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM. For
more information on household hazardous waste, call 1-800-645-9228.
Join us in preserving our water resources by using water resources wisely and
efficiently. This will ensure a long-term supply of clean, safe water. Remember,
preventing water contamination is less expensive than developing new treatment
methods.
Q. How can customers can save money on their water bills?
A. Water saving devices such as Iow-flow toilets and showerheads use less water with
no loss in convenience or benefit.
For example, a family of four can save over 35,000 gallons of water per year by installing
Iow water use showerheads. Since they will be using less water, an additional $50 or
more can be saved in energy costs. For more information on water saving ideas, call

Troubleshooting Information
If you are experiencing a problem with the water pressure at your property, whether it
lower than usual, higher than normal or fluctuating, there are a few things that you can
check yourself before calling East Valley Water District.
Some of the questions you can ask yourself are:
Have you had any plumbing work done recently?
Is'this happening in the house as well as out in the yard (with the sprinklers)?
Is this condition the same throughout the house, or isolated to just one area/fixture?
Is the problem the same with hot and cold water?
Answering these questions before calling the distdct wilt assist us to possibly isolate the
problem(s).
Listed below or some of the more frequent problems our customers have experienced:
The problem: Iow water pressure in one area of the home.
Possible Cause:
This condition could be caused by several things. 1) there may be a blockage of some
sort. This blockage could consist of either a clogged aerator on the end of the faucet
itself, the valve under the sink may have been shut off or turned down, or the flow of
v
water in the pipe to that particular faucet has become physically blocked by something.
Since this problem is located within the property's private pumping system (after the
meter), and not cause by the District, it is the responsibility of the property owner to
correct.
The Problem: The water pressure throughout my house has decreased.
Possible Cause:
This condition could also be caused by a couple of things. The simplest cause would be
that the main shut-off valve to the home was accidentally closed or partially closed by
someone. This shut-off is generally located below the hose connection at the front of a
home. Another possibility could be that your pressure regulator has stopped working.
Any home that is located in the high pressure zone (above 80 psi) should, and probably
does, have a pressure regulator on the service. In newer homes, contractors have
already taken precautions for high-pressure and installed regulators at the time of
construction. These regulators do occasionally go bad. When this happens, the
regulator may shut down and allow little or no pressure (or water) into the house.
Pressure regulators are generally found below the front hose connection of your home.
These regulators are relatively simple to replace and can be purchased at any hardware
store.
The Problem: An increase in pressure
Possible Cause:
Again, this is usually associated with pressure regulators and high-pressure zones.
Pressure regulators are generally found below the front hose connection of your home.
These regulators do occasionally go bad. When this happens, the regulator may open
completely and allow the full system pressure into the house. Having pressure in the
home that is greater than 80 psi could cause additional damage to plumbing and some
fixtures and appliances, such as refrigerators with icemakers, washing machines, and
water heaters, and could decrease the life of the washers and seals on faucets.
The Problem: A fluctuation in water pressure
Possible Cause:
Fluctuation of water pressure is usually a sign of "peak" demand on the water system.
There are generally two high demand times per day. One is in the morning when people
are getting ready to go to work, and the other is in the afternoon or evening when people
come home from work. At these times people are trying to shower, water lawns, wash
clothes, etc. When all of these things happen at once, there is a large demand on the
system. There is essentially nothing the District can do about this situation. Until people
learn to stagger their water usage times, customers may occasionally experience this
problem.
The Problem: The constant sound of water running.
Possible Cause:
Running water in the home can mean one of two things. One of the fixtures (possibly a
toilet or a valve) is not shutting off as it is supposed to. The float assembly in the toilet
tank may need to be replaced because of a bad seal or a sticky float, or there may be a
plumbing leak somewhere on the property, either under the home or within the sprinkler
system. To check to see if there is a leak, simply shut off all water fixtures in the home,
then go out to the meter and see if it is running. To isolate the sprinkler system, shut off
the main valve to the home (if sprinklers are connected pdor to the shut-off valve) and
again return to the meter and check to see if it is spinning. If you have turned off the
water and the meter is still spinning, you probably have a leak or opening in your
plumbing system. Homeowners are responsible for this problem.
If you need your service off for repairs, please call the District and we will send someone
out to shut off the service for you. Once a repair has been made, we will again send
someone out to turn the service back on.

East Valley Water District
Engineering & Operations Information
East Valley Water Distdct stdves to improve water management through upgrading and
maintaining existing plants, pumping systems and water treatment facilities. In addition,
new facilities are planned to ensure that the system is modem and that current water
quality standards can continue to be met.
In this section are descriptions of the District's existing facilities, current upgrades in
progress and new plants that are scheduled to be built.
COMPLETED Projects
Plant 28 Upgrade
The District replaced the original well at Plant 28 with a new 20-inch well in the early
1970's. This new well was deeper, and the larger casting allowed it to produce
considerably more water. However, the surrounding distribution system had a limited
carrying capacity, and the District initially installed equipment to limit the well's
production to about 700 gallons per minute. During the 1994 annual water quality-
testing program, a contaminant known as tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene
appeared in several wells in extremely Iow concentrations. Fortunately, the level
detected was well below the maximum contaminant level (MCL), but it required close
monitoring. In 1995, the need for additional water prompted the District to update the
well to push production to 1000 gallons per minute. This, in turn, began stressing the old
and corroded piping system, causing it to leak. Test results in early 1998 indicated the
contaminant level was approaching the MCL and the well was turned off. At that time,
the District installed a granular activated carbon system to treat the water. This allowed
the well to be used again by late summer 1998. The installation of this system and
related costs amounted to over $300,000. A well upgrade and water system
enhancement program was also implemented. In early 1999, the District had a
contractor replace nearly all of the pipes in the vicinity of Plant #28. The District also
installed new well equipement to increase its capacity to 2000 gallons per minute. The
enhanced system was returned to service in May 2000
Plant 99
The Distdct had some work done on its 500,000 'gallon reservoir tank at Plant 99, which
is located at the top of La Praix Avenue. A consultant inspected the tank and the District
contracted with Pacific Titan to do the necessary repair work, bringing the facility up to
current OSHA standards.
An additional access door and safety railing at the top of the tank were installed, and an
access ladder was brought up to code. The silicone-alkyd coating used on the outside of
the tank has a glossy finish which is designed to repel UV rays, allowing it to last a good
20 years. The coating is a nice grouse-tan color, which blends nicely with the
environment. The interior of the tank was sandblasted and recoated. The entire cost of
the project was $83,400.
Phillip A. Disch Surface Water Treatment Plant
In late 2000, the Oistdct contracted with Chlortek, a division of Severn Trent Services, to
install an on-site sodium hypochlodte (liquid chlorine) generation unit at its treatment
plant, located north of Highland Avenue, just east of the Cresstown Freeway. The
purpose of this work was to eliminate the use of gas chlorine at this facility. The new unit
produces liquid chlodne with a concentration of .8% (household bleach has a
concentration of 5%), which makes the facility safer for the operators and surrounding
population. The work, costing $129,500 began October 10, 2000 and was completed on
December 11, 2000.
Plant 125
Construction has finished construction on a new reservoir to replace a 50,000 gallon
reservoir that is located south of Greenspot Road near the Santa Aha River in the City of
Highland. The current reservoir has experienced damage due to corrosion and use, and
the costs to repair it would exceed the replacement cost. The Distdct removed the old
reservoir and replace it with a new reservoir of the same type. The cost of installing the
new reservoir was just under $40,000.
PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
East Highland Ranch Development
The developer of East Highland Ranch, Spring Pacific, is planning to build 600 houses
over a two to three year pedod. As a result of this development, Spring Pacific will be
required to assist in the cost of building an 750,000 gallon reservoir, booster station and
hydro pneumatic system at vadous locations throughout the ranch area. Design of the
District facilities started in the spdng of 2001, with construction starting in the late
summer.
Plant ~142
The Distdct will be starting well improvements on a lot located on Vista Rio, just south of
Frontera Del Sur, in the East Highland area. This was an old agricultural well that is
being re-equipped for domestic use. Improvements include equipping the well with a
pump and motor, and installation of a 50,000 gallon tank and a booster station~ These
improvements are needed to keep up with the demand for water.
Plant 37
The Distdct has designed a tank and booster replacement and upgrade. The project is
located north of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard at Steding Avenue. A 1,000,000
gallon reservoir tank and small booster station are in need of repair and expansion. It
was recently determined that the tank is located on a sub-fault tributary to the San
Androas Fault and therefore needs to be replaced with a new tank in a fault-free
location. The District plans to build a 4,000,000' underground reservoir about 500 feet to
the north of the existing tank, with two 100 horsepower booster stations just north of the
existing reservoir. Construction is expected to begin by late sumer 2001. Construction
costs are estimated in the $5 million range.
2
Plant 147
Due to future construction of Metropolitan Water District's Inland Feeder Pipeline
Project, the District's Plant 121 well will be replaced by a new well. The well is located
west of the intersection of Abbey Way and Church Street. Design and construction costs
are being paid for by Metropolitan Water District. Construction is underway on the new
well at Plant 147 located at Abbey Way, about 2000 feet east of Church Street. To date
the new well has been drilled, the casing and gravel pack have been installed and the
well has been test pumped for proper sizing. This summer we are equiping the well with
a pump and motor and installing a pipeline to deliver the water to the distribution system.
Construction is expected to be completed by this summer, and total design and
construction costs are expected to reach $800,000.
Plant 132 ( Cull Plant) Plant 132 is on San Francisco Street near Sparks Street and
has throe wells out of service due to previously high levels of perchloroethylene and
nitrate. Recently, water testing from these wells indicated that the perchloroethylene
contamination no longer exists and the nitrate levels have subsided to where no health
danger exists. In July, the District's staff will return one of the wells to service after
installing new chlorine injection equipment. The cost of the project will be under $2000/
PROJECTS IN PLANNING STAGE
Plant
The District plans to m-coat the interior and extedor of a 1,300,000 gallon reservoir due
to age and use. A consultant has performed an inspection and reported on the condition
of the existing coatings. The design specifications should be completed by late summer
2001, with painting occurring in late fall 2001, or early winter 2002. The reservoir is
located in Mountain Shadows, northeast of the intersection of Seine Avenue and
Mountain Top Drive.
Fifth Street Sewer
The District is looking to design plans for encasing a 24-inch trunk sewer located just
north of Fifth Street between Palm Avenue and the 30 Freeway, crossing the City Creek
Wash. Erosion of soil within the wash has left the existing sewer with only the minimum
recommended cover. Encasing the sewer with concrete would protect the sewer from
additional erosion, and the design would make this a priority. The design process will
include review by the California Department of Fish and Game to consider any
environmentally protected species that may be present. Due to the uncertain length of
review by the CDFG, no construction date has been set. Construction costs have not yet
been determined.
Dialing Before Digging - It's The Lawl
The requirements of California Legislation make it mandatory that all those who plan to
do any digging or excavating inform a regional notification center at least two days in
advance. Failure to do so can result in a fine of up to $50,000, in addition to charges for
the repair of any damage to underground facilities.
A program celled Dig Alert has been established to provide a convenient way for people
to notify companies that might have underground facilities on a property. Dialing before
digging means calling a toll-free number before starting any job, and includes any type of
3
excavating, from a big job to a back yard fish pond. The call must be made at least two
working days in advance of digging, and can be made as far ahead as two weeks before
digging starts.
Everyone should call Dig Alert, not just professionals working on a job. This means that
property owners must call, as well as plumbers, electricians, contractors, landscapers,
swimming pool builders and anyone else who intends to dig. Holding an excavation
permit doesn't mean it is okay to dig until the call to Dig Alert is made, after which a Dig
Alert number will be given.
Underground Service Alert is a non-profit organization that notifies all of its members
that have underground facilities in the area through the Dig Alert program. If these
members have facilities in the work area, they will come out to the property and mark
them prior to the start of excavation.
The Underground Service Alert organization serves the nine Southern California
counties of Orange, Ventura, Los Angeles, Inyo, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego,
Santa Barbara and Imperial.
The Dig Alert toll-free number to call before digging is 1-800-227-2600.

Water Testing and Treatment
Groundwater is a fragile resource that can be easily polluted by improper handling or
disposal of harmful chemicals and wastes onto the ground. Groundwater moves slowly
through soil and rock, and pollutants that get into it ars not quickly flushed out or diluted.
Once ground water becomes polluted, it is difficult and expensive to clean, in some
cases, cleaning may be impossible.
Many substances can make water unsafe, and some can ~ause serious illness. Natural
dangers to water can include bacteria, viruses, animal waste, plant decay, and minerals
such as lead and mercury. Dangers resulting from human activities include fertilizers,
pesticides, motor oil, road salt, sewage, industrial waste, gasoline and heating oil leaks.
Household toxic dumping is a major source of water pollution, For example, Americans
improperly dump over 200 million gallons of motor oil each year - an amount that equals
20 of the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Motor oil is just one household substance that can contaminate water. Paint, solvents,
batteries, motor oil, anti-freaze and many cleaners are toxic. Dumping hazardous waste
down drains or into the soil may foul the treatment plant, or worse yet, the environment.
Thanks to water suppliers and other groups, there is a lot being done to protect our
water supply. Local water suppliers Play a key role in keeping public drinking water safe.
The public can learn more about water quality by asking for materials that are available
from the District. the state water agency, local public health departments and the
regional EPA office.
Before water gets to a customer's home, it goes to a treatment plant. It is carefully
treated as needed to protect the public from harmful organisms or other substances.
Once the water is treated, it is sent to homes through a network of underground pipes.
It may seem that wastewater disappears after it is flushed or drained away. In actuality, it
enters the District's sewer collection system, which delivers over two billion gallons of
wastewater per year safely to a treatment plant. This system was carefully designed to
drain by gravity so that expensive pumping is not required. The sewer system flows to a
regional treatment plant that works jointly with the cities of San Bemardino and Loma
Linda. Cooperating with other agencies in a regional plant saves money through
economies of scale. The plant must meet strict quality standards because it returns
cleaned wastewater to the Santa Ana River where it is reused by downstream
communities.
The treatment process makes the wastewater so clean that it is virtually
indistinguishable from drinking water. It is then permitted to be discharged into the Santa
Ana River. However, the wastewater treatment plant is not designed to remove toxic
chemicals. Hazardous waste poured down drains may ultimately end up back in the
groundwater or in the Santa Ana River.
Water suppliers must test drinking water to make sure it is safe. Test results are reported
to state and federal governments, and suppliers must notify customers if the test results
do not meet certain standards.
Federal, state and local governments also.work to improve and protect drinking water,
The Safe Drinking Water Act provides standards for public drinking water. Primary
standards set maximum levels for contaminants that may be a threat to health.
Secondary standards set recommended maximum levels for contaminants that affect
water's taste, color, odor or appearance. Additional standards help prevent sources of
our drinking water from becoming contaminated.
The Clean Water Act aims to make all surface water safe for swimming and fishing by
setting quality standards, improving wastewater treatment, regulating disposal of
industrial wastes, and controlling runoff from streets and fields.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) manages these acts, and also helps
protect water supplies through grants, training programs, and research. The
Environmental Protection Agency Hotline is (800) 426-4791.
Consumers can share in the task of keeping drinking water safe by being responsible
when disposing of hazardous substances. Other responsibilities include never dumping
leftovers down drains or on the ground, following product labels, and obeying state and
local regulations. For information on disposing of household hazardous chemicals,
residents should call (800) 645-9228.
Section 4
East Valley Water District
Board and Staff
The Board of Supervisors of San Bemardino County approved a petition for the
formation of the East Valley Water District (formerly East San Bernardino County Water
District) under a division of the Water Code of the State of California and ordered an
election held January 12, 1954. The electors approved the formation of the District, with
the County Board of Supervisor. Incorporation ofthe District was approved bythe State
of California on February 1, 1954.
The District was originally formed to provide domestic water service to the
unincorporated and agriculturally based communities of Highland and East Highlands.
Over the years, a portion of the District's service area was annexed to the City of San
Bernardino. That service remains with the District, primarily due to logistics and cost. In
1987, the City of Highland incorporated. The District's predominantly agricultural area is
now urbanized, with only a few orange groves remaining. Prior to September 20th,
2000, the District's service area was approximately 14,750 acres, or 23 square miles.
An annexation in September 2000 increased the District's service area by 3,220 acres.
Approximately 15 percent of the District is located in the unincorporated area of San
Bernardino County and the remaining 85 percent is located within the City of San
Bemardino and the City of Highland. The District has been engaged in furnishing water
and sewer services to its customers since its inception. The initial sewer trunk lines and
collection system were completed in 1960.
The District currently has a service population of approximately 65,000 people. Average
water use in the District is 19 million gallons per day, with 36 million gallons per day
used during peak usage periods. The District does not receive any tax revenues.
Services are financed solely by rates.
Because the Distdct focuses on providing two services, water and sewer, East Valley
Water District has put together a professional team of experts to monitor and maintain
both systems. The District has developed a straightforward management structure
consisting of a Board of Directors elected by its customers, a general manager and a
staff. The Board of Directors consists of members of the b0mmunity who represent their
neighbors. To assure highest quality, they hire trained professionals to operate and
maintain the District's facilities. This combination of elected representatives and water
professionals working together provides the customers of East Valley Water District with
an efficient and cost effective sewer and water operation. The five-member Board of
Directors, elected at large within the District, serve staggered terms of four years.

East Valley Water District
PROMOTING COMMUNITY AWARENESS
East Valley Water District has an information packet available to its customers that
includes general information about the District's background, conservation
recommendations, landscape irrigation techniques, explanations of water and sewer
rates and billing procedures. The packet is given to alt new customers and most of the
information contained in this packet has been incorporated into this website.
The District produces an annual water quality report, which gives an explanation of the
District's water quality sampling results, provides information (~n available water sources'
of supply quantities, and highlights general issues of public concern.
A printed newsletter, entitled 'The Pipelinem has been a regular publication of the District
since 1994. The purpose of The Pipeline is to apprise customers of current issues
related to the District. When California is experiencing drought conditions, or when local
water supplies are threatened, the newsletter is used to inform customers of water
saving recommendations.
PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Public education on water awareness is accomplished through the distribution of
educational materials at conferences, public service radio announcements, and
participation in community school programs.
Water awareness presentations 'are often requested by elementary and middle schools,
and the District provides speakers to educate students on water supply, water quality
conditions, and on the wise use of water at all times. This program is a cost-effective
means of providing long-term beneficial imp,acts to the local water supply by providing
early education to young water users.
Teacher workshops and classroom presentations are tools that the District uses to teach
water conservation to students. Free educational materials are provided by the District,
and a poster contest is promoted throughout local schools.
In addition to school programs, the District provides presentations to local community
groups and service clubs. Tours of the District's facilities are sponsored throughout the
year for local city councils members chambers of commerce, senior citizen groups, and
the County Board of Supervisors. These programs are designed to educate the public
regarding the District's facilities and what is involved in maintaining adequate water
supplies. Other subjects covered during presentations and tours include regulatory
issues and the cost of providing water to the community.
WATER CONSERVATION INFORMATION
Water is a limited resource, and the Distdct actively promotes water conservation
through public relations programs designed to educate people about the role everyone
plays in water conservation. It is important for all consumers to conserve water in order
to prevent severe shortages in the future. Economizing the use of water and minimizing
pollution are two water conservation measures that save money and energy, and help
protect the environment.
The District is preparing for the possibility of rolling blackouts due to the energy crisis,
and encourages customers to do the same. East Valley Water Distdct is retrofitting some
sites by installing generators so that it can meet the demand for water by its customers
during emergencies. The Distdct encourages all of its customers to be prepared for any
emergency, including earthquakes and other natural disasters, by keeping a supply of
fresh water, canned food, matches and other items stored in their homes. Being
prepared for ail types of local disasters will allow residents to also weather any
temporary power outages they may experience.
There are many steps that water customers can take to conserve water every day.
Water users can economize by being aware of the amount of water they are using and
looking for ways to use less water whenever possible.
Repairing leaks can save hundreds, or even thousands of gallons of water per year.
Most leaks are easy to detect and repair with some basic know-how and simple tools.
Economizing can be accomplished in the home in the following ways:
Less water is used when water-saving devices are installed, like Iow-flow fixtures
(shower head, flow restrictors). Also helpful are displacement devices to reduce the
amount of water used in older toilets. These devices can be made with weighted plastic
jugs full of water. Flushing toilets only when necessary and/or installing a Iow-flow toilet
are other ways to reduce the amount of water used in the bathroom.
Simple ways to conserve water include plugging the sink ~irain while brushing teeth or
shaving so that water doesn't run constantly. Taking shallow baths or shorter showers
and turning off water while shampooing or soaping will save water. Installing Iow-flow
shower heads and sink aerators are conservation measures everyone can take.
Repairing leaks in toilets, faucets and pipes can save 20 or more gallons of water per
day. To check for a leak in the toilet tank, add food colodng to the tank water and check
the bowl in 15 minutes. Color in the bowl probably means there's a leak. Ddpping
faucets or shower heads can usually be fixed by replacing the washer inside the faucet,
Other ways to use less water include washing only full loads in the washing machine or
dishwasher, and replacing old machines with water and energy efficient models when
possible. Using less detergent helps prevents water pollution.
The garbage disposal can be used less by scraping dishes into the trash or, better yet,
composting garbage. Use a pail or basin full of water to mop floors with, instead of
running water. Soaking grills and oven parts overnight loosens grime, requiring less
running water to clean them.
Watering Your Garden
In the southwest, water is precious, yet garden plants still need irrigation, especially
dudng dry months. Seasonal droughts, groundwater pollution, and population growth all
affect this valuable resource. All water consumers can take steps to avoid waste in
homes and gardens, ensudng the future availability of water.
In the southwest, about 50 percent of water goes to gardens and lawns. So that is the
most important place to start a conservation program. Fortunately, water conservation
doesn't mean planting a barren landscape; it means practicing good gardening.
Choosing plants well adapted to the local climate, improving soil, watedng efficiently,
and taking advantage of the latest irrigation technology all help save water.
For lawns, a well-adjusted sprinkler system that waters evenly, and for trees and shrubs
a bubbler or ddp irrigation system, should be used. For vegetables and ornamental
plants, a soaker hose or ddp system is preferred.
Established trees and shrubs with deep root systems, should be watered longer and less
often. Shallow-rooted plants should be watered less, but watered more frequently. Older,
established trees and shrubs may not require irrigation. Established plants are frequently
overwatered.
Other ways to reduce water use in the yard include keeping weeds out, mulching to
reduce surface evaporation, aerating lawns in the fall to help water travel to the roots,
fertilizing less often, and adding compost or peat moss to soil to help it hold more water.
Planting landscapes that require little water, and using plants that provide shade or
erosion and offer fire control are also good conservation measures. Consider
alternatives to big thirsty lawns, like drought resistant groundcovers.
Instead of water, a broom can be used to clean driveways,_ sidewalks and steps. Cars
should be washed with a bucket of water, using the hose only to rinse. Using a hose with
an on/off nozzle, and repairing leaky hoses are more ways to save water.

SUBJECT: ANNUAL INSPECTION
On March 6, 2001, the Department of Health Services Drinking Water Division
conducted its annual inspection of the East Valley Water District. The survey was
conducted by Oliver Pacifico, an Engineer with the Department of Health Services. Mr.
Pacifico noted the following deficiencies:
1. Failed air release / vacuum release valves on Wells #24A and 24B; and reservoir
#56. Aisc at Plant #99, the existing ARVR had no screen. These were all
repaired or replaced prior to April 2001.
2. Unscreened Pump-to-waste discharqe lines on Wells #24A, #24B, #25A, #120,
#121 and #146. These, too, were resolved prior to April 2001.
3. No screens or flapper qates on overflow lines at Reservoirs #33-1, 2 and 3,
Reservoirs #39-1 and 2, and Reservoir #99. These issues have been resolved.
4. Reservoirs #129-1 and #129-2 had film on top of water. The tanks have been
skimmed twice since March 2001. We have increased monitoring to monthly and
the skimming scheduled to quarterly or as needed. Tank #134 shows evidence
of corrosion on the interior ladder. This is scheduled for dry inspection and
repairs this winter, when system demand allows.
The Philip A. Disch Surface Water Treatment requires some adjustments to the
calculation of contact / time (CT) requirements. The original method approved by DOHS,
which has been used since the plant started up in 1996, needs updating to bring up to
current standards. Aisc, the addition of alarm and monitoring devices for additional control
has been requested and is being reviewed by staff.
Minor items such as modification with vacuum breakers or removal of hose bibs
within the plants were done within one week of the physical inspection.

Subject: 2001 Annual Inspection of the East Valley Water District
(System No. 3610064)
Dear Mr. Martin:
Thank you for the assistance provided during the field survey of the East Valley
Water District conducted by Oliver Paciflco, an engineer with the Department, on
March 6, 2001. During the survey, deficiencies were noted which require
corrective action. With regrets for the delay, we enclose a copy of the completed
Annual Inspection Report, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, CT
Calculations and the associated deficiency list for your system that documents
the findings made during the survey. Please review the Report and let us know
of any comment that you may have. In addition, please submit a copy of the
deficiency list indicating which deficiencies have been corrected and when the
remaining deficiencies will be corrected. The following issues are of particular
concern to the Department and are further discussed.
Sources
Deficiencies found on the wells include unscreened pump-to-waste lines and
failed Air Release/Vacuum Release Valves (ARVRs). The deficiency for each
well is found in the enclosed deficiency list. Please install a screen on all pump-
to-waste lines and replace the failed ARVRs.
Storage
Several reservoirs have drain/overflow lines without a screen or flapper at the
discharge end. Please install a screen or flapper on all drain/overflow lines to
prevent potential contamination of the water in the storage tanks. In addition, '"'
Tanks 129A and 129B have oil film on the water's surface. Please overflow or
skim these two reservoirs. During the inspection, it was noted that all reservoirs
are overflowed semi-annually. These two reservoirs may have to be inspected
more often and overflowed as needed. Tank 134's ladder leading into the
~ reservoir appears to be corroding, Please ensure that this matter is addressed
East Valley Water District

during its planned rehabilitation later this year. The deficiency for each reservoir
is found in the enclosed deficiency list.
Monitoring
During the inspection, we requested the District to review and correct the Soume and
Source Class information Report for our water quality monitoring database. The
corrected report was received and our database was updated accordingly. In
addition, it was brought to our attention that the two additional GAC vessels at Plant
28, installed in Spring 2000, have not been assigned station codes for reporting
monitoring data via EDT. Please use the following station codes for the two vessels
to resubmit previous and submit future monitoring results via EDT:
1. 3610064-28GAC3 for the Well 28 GAC Effluent Vessel No. 3
2. 3610064-28GAC4 for the Well 28 GAC Effluent Vessel No. 4
Furthermore, it was found that monitoring data for the Santa Aha River (SAP,) has
not been submitted via EDT for some time. Please use the station code M36/064-
NFORK R for submitting future and resubmitting previous monitoring results via
EDT.
At this time, we would like to remind the District that the second six-month lead and
copper monitoring is due this Spring as well as the Annual Report on the progress of
the corrosion control treatment. Please submit the results of the monitoring when
available along with a completed Form 141A (enclosed). Aisc submit a completed
Form 141A for the first six-month monitoring conducted in November 2000.
Operations
In the April 2, 1999, Annual Inspection letter, the Department recommended that the
surface water treatment plant's (SWTP) filter-to-waste line be equipped with an
additional backflow prevention device or its discharge end be raised to create an air
gap above the backwash water ponds' high water ~ine. During the 2001 Annual
Inspection, after discussions with Mr. Fred Stafford with your staff, it was determined
that the existing backflow protection consisting of a flow control valve, check valve
and flapper valve is adequate. Therefore, the Department will no longer require the
modifications on your SWTP's filter-to-waste line.
Regarding the SWTP's operations plan, revisions are needed as the procedure for
determining the required CT has two important deficiencies (see enclosure, CT
Calculations):
1. The monthly median raw water total coliform Maximum Probable Number
(MPN) result is not taken into account in determining the CT requirement. In
last year's monthly surface water treatment monitoring summaries, the CT
requirements were all based on 0.5-log Giardia inactivation. This would have
been appropriate if the monthly median total coliform MPN results were no
more than 1,000/100mL for the whole year. However, 30 percent of last
East Valley Water District
July 6, 2001
Page 3 of 4 ~ ~
year's weekly MPN results were over 1,000/100mL, including a two-month
pedod in July and August when the monthly median total coliform MPN
results were over 1,000/100mL. Whenever the total coliform MPN results
are more than 1,000/100 mL for two samples in a month causing the monthly
median to exceed 1,000/100 mL, 4-log Giardia and 5-log virus inactivation is
required until three sample analysis results in a month are less than
1,000/100 mL. Therefore, since the SWTP's monthly 95t~ percentile turbidity
is less than 0.2 NTU giving filtration 2.5 log Giardia inactivation credit, the CT
requirement should have been based on 1.5-1og Giardia inactivation
whenever 4-log Giardia inactivation is required. When 1.5-1og Giardia
inactivation was applied to the CT requirement in last year's monthly surface
water treatment monitoring summaries for July and August, when several
weeks showed MPN results in excess of 1,000/100 mL triggering higher
inactivation requirement, there were times when the CT requirement was not
met.
2. In determining the theoretical CT, two chlorine residuals are used. One
chlodne residual is taken at the combined filter effluent line pdor to the
clearwell (SP2) for calculating CT through the treatment plant. The other
chlorine residual is taken at the clearwell effluent before the entry point to the
distribution system (SP3) for calculating CT through the plant effluent pipes
and clearwell. The chlorine residual monitoring point SP2 is downstream of
the postchlorinator. Therefore, the residual at this point is not representative
of the residual through the treatment plant but is much higher, leading to a
higher CT than that is actually provided. To receive correct inactivation credit
through the treatment plant, the residual must be measured pdor to the
postchlodnation point.
3. The planned Tracer Study needs to be completed as soon as possible to
determine the value of T~0 instead of the empirical factor currently used.
In addition, the treatment plant chlorine residual (SP2 and SP3) and clearwell depth
alarm set points, at 0.5 mg/L, 0.2 mg/L, and 24 feet (1.8 MG) respectively, do not
ensure that CT requirements are met at all times. Based on the calculations similar
to those included in the enclosed CT Calculations, when the pfant is operating at
maximum flow and 0.5-log Giardia inactivation is required, even when the water
temperature is at least 15°C with a pH of 8.0, the current alarm set points would not
reliably meet the required CT of 17 min-mg/L, because the CT provided amounts
only to 14.5 min-mg/L under the set-point conditions. The set points must therefore
be increased to meet the CT requirement in the worst raw water conditions, which in
the case of last year, were 8,3°C and pH of 8.5. Since raw water bacteriological
quality determines the Icg inactivation required through disinfection, and in turn the
CT requirement, two groups of set points may be used: one for 0.5 Icg Giardia
inactivation, when the monthly median coliform MPN is less than 1,0001100 mL, and
the other for 1.5 Icg Giardia inactivation, when the monthly median coliform MPN is
between 1,000 and 10,000 per 100 mL. Further, SP3 must have shutdown
capability in addition to the alarm as most of the inactivation credit through
disinfection is provided by the pipes and clearwell. Please make the necessary
East Valley Water District
July 6, 2001
Page 4 of 4 ~ ~
changes to your operations plan and submit the revised plan for approval. Such
revisions are necessary to ensure reliability, though daily calculations of CT required
and CT provided are based on applicable daily data.
in 2000, the SWTP generally operated to meet the Cryptospoddium Action Plan
optimization goals with the following exceptions:
1. As discussed in the previous paragraph, the disinfection alarm set points are
not set at appropriate levels to reliably ensure compliance with CT
requirements.
2. The reclaimed water turbidity in 2000 was typically between 2.0 and 3.0 NTU.
The optimized operational goal is less than 2.0 NTU according to the
Cryptospoddium Action Plan.
The SWTP operations plan needs to be revised to meet the above optimization
goals.
Your assistance provided to Mr. Pacifico dudng the inspection is greatly appreciated.
Please provide the Department with a written response to this letter no later than a
month from the date of this letter that provides a time schedule to address the issues
identified above.
If you have any question concerning this letter, please contact Oliver Pacifico at

Summary:
The 2000 Monthly CT Calculation Reports indicate that the CT Required was
consistently met for the whole year. However, there are errors in the determination of
CT Required and CT Provided and there are deficiencies in the SWTP's reliability
features as follows:
1. in determining the CT Required, the bacteriological quality of the influent water is
not taken into account, in all of 2000, the Required CT was based on 0.5 log
Giardia inactivation even when 1.5 log Giardia inactivation was required, in
accordance with Title 22 and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 4.0 log
Giardia inactivation is required when the median monthly coliform is between
1,000 and 10,000 per 100 mE With filtration credited with 2.5 log Giardia
inactivation, disinfection must provide 1.5 log Giardia inactivation during the
periods when monthly median total coliform MPN is between 1,000 and
10,000/100 mL. See Table 1.
2. In calculating the CT Provided, the chlorine residual at SP2 is used as the
chlorine residual through the plant. However, this monitoring point is down
stream of the postchlorinator, and therefore, is not representative of the residual
through the plant. To claim inactivation credit from disinfection for the treatment
plant, the actual residual through the plant must be used in the CT calculation.
Therefore, a reading of residual chlorine just upstream of post-chodnation point is
required to be continuously monitored.
East Valley WD
CT Calculation Form Page 2 of 4 7/6/2001
3. The chlorine residual shutdown monitoring point is currently SP2, which is used
in calculating the CT Provided through the plant. However, as mentioned above,
the plant cannot be granted inactivation credit from disinfection because the
residual at SP2 is not representative of the residual through the plant. Even if the
plant receives inactivation credit from disinfection, the CT provided by the plant is
only approximately one-tenth of the CT provided by the pipes and clearwelt. With
the pipes and clearwell accounting for most of the inactivation credit from
disinfection, there must be a chlorine residual shutdown monitoring point for the
pipes and clearwell. At a minimum, the shutdown system must be linked to the
chlorine residual at the clearwell effluent.
4. The alarm and shutdown set points for chlorine residuals (at SP2 and SP3) and
clearwell level as currently provided do not reliably ensure that the CT Required
will be met at all times (See Tables 2 and 4).
To correct the deficiencies listed above, the SWTP operations plan must be revised and
submitted to the Department for approval as follows:
1. A procedure must be included to determine the required Giardia and virus log
inactivation based on the monthly median coliform concentration in accordance
with Title 22 and SDWA (See Table !). When the required Giardia and virus log
inactivation is known, the CT Required can be determined.
2. A continuous chlorine residual monitoring point must be placed at the treatment
plant effluent prior to the postchlorinator. In addition, the residual from this point
must be used to calculate the CT Provided by the treatment plant in order to
obtain inactivation credit from disinfection through the treatment plant.
3. The chlorine residual monitoring point at SP3 must be provided with a shutdown
feature with an appropriate set point.
4. To improve the reliability of the disinfection process, the alarm and shutdown set
points for chlorine residuals (at SP2 and SP3) and dearwell level must be
increased so the CT Provided using these set points will meet the CT Required in
the worst water conditions, 8.3°C and 8.5 pH, using the SP3 chlorine residual. If
other valid combination of worst-case temperature and pH are available, it is
acceptable to use such other valid data for CT required calculations. Since raw
water bacteriological quality determines the required Giardia log inactivation,
which could be either 0.5 or 1.5, which in turn determines the CT Required, two
groups of set points may be created. One to meet the CT Required for 0.5 log
Giardia inactivation and the other to meet the CT Required for 1.5 log Giardia
inactivation.

Is SWTP evaluation form attached? Yes.
Treatment classification Packaqed Roberts Filter equivalent to conventional filtration.
Describe treatment process train: Rapid mixer, upflpw clarifier, polishing filter,
chlorinator
Date and results of the watershed sanitary survey: The sanitary survey for the Santa
Ana River was completed in cooperation with the City of Redlands in 1996. The State
Proiect Water sanitary survey was also completed in 1996. Both surveys are due for
the five-year update in 2001. The District indicated that both survey updates would be
completed by the end of the year.
Are performance standards met? Yes.
Describe records maintained of treatment Results of all monitoring conducted in
accordance with Section 64655, 64656, 64660 are submitted monthly. In addition,
.records of plant flow rates, filtration rate, filter maintenance, back wash rate, hours of
operation, calibration of turbidimeters, chemical feed rates, major equipment and
process failures, and corrective actions taken are maintained. The operators use
standard forms for reporting all plant data and operations.

process failures, and corrective actions taken are maintained. The operators use
standard forms for reportin.q all plant data and operations.
Discussion and appraisal: Operation of the plant is generally adequate. Turbidity and
CT requirements were reportedly met last year. However, there are deficiencies in the
determination of the CT requirements:
1. On several occasions, the CT requirement was based on Giardia reduction that was
not adequate for the bacteriological quality of the source. For the whole year, the
rn~nthly 95th percentile effluent' turbidities were less than 0.2 NTU, qiving filtration
2.5 Io.q Giardia and 2.0 log virus removal credit. Thus disinfection should provide
the remaininq Giardia and virus reduction. All of last year, the CT requirement was
based on 0.5 Io.q Giardia and 2.0 log virus reduction with the assumption that only a
total of 3.0 log Giardia and 4.0 Io~q virus reduction were required for the raw water.
However, these reductions apply only if the raw water is not heavily coliform
polluted. When the monthly median coliform MPN is between 1,000 and
10,000/100 mL in two samples in a month, a minimum of 4.0 Io.q Giardia and 5.0 Io.q
virus reduction is required. This was the case on several occasions last year, most
notably in July and Auqust, when the CT requirement should be 1.5 log Giardia and
3.0 Io.q virus reduction. Virus reduction was met consistently but not Giardia in such
cases. Althou.qh only 0.5 Io.q and not 1.5 Io.q Giardia reduction was used to
calculate the CT requirement, 1.5 Io.q Giardia reduction was met on most occasions
as the CT ratios were mostly at least three. To ensure that the required Giardia
reduction is provided consistently, the MPN results must be taken into consideration
in determininq CT requirements and ratios.
2. The theoretical CT throuqh the treatment plant is calculated usinq the chlorine
residual from the monitor nq point downstream of the pos.tchlorinator (SP2). As
such, this chlorine residual does not represent the actual levels through the plant but
is much hi.qher. SP2 must be moved upstream of the postchlorinator for the correct
level for calculations.
in addition, with the alarm and shutdown set points for chlorine residuals (at SP2 and SP3)
and clearwell level at 0.5 m.q/I, 0.2 m.q/L, and 24 feet respectively, the CT required cannot
be met when the plant is operating at maximum flow, 4 MGD, and the water condition is
the worst in 2000 with a pH of 8.5 and temperature of 8.3°C. Lastly, SP3, the chlorine
residual monitorin.q point downstream of the clearwell, must be equipped with shutdown
capability, instead of SP2, as the clearwell provides most of the inactivation credit from
disinfection. Please see additional details in the enclosed CT Calculations.
2. Groundwater Sources
Is continuous disinfection provided? Yes.
Describe facilities:
If disinfection is not provided, are provisions and connections for emergency
chlorination provided per DDW guidelines? A por[able chlorine feed pump, tank, and
generator are available and can be connected to any well or booster.
Discussion & Appraisal: Ground water disinfection is adequate.
Page 4 of 13
3. Other Treatment or Blending facilities
Describe facilities and parameters treated/blended: (i.e. iron and manganese,
~,~ fluoridation, nitrate, corrosion control, organics, etc.)
a) Plant 28A LPGAC Treatment Plant: removes tetrachloroethylene (PCE) from the
Plant 28A Well. The plant consists of four GAC vessels operated in parallel,
currently treatinq water at a rate of 2,172 GPM, the well's capacity.
b) Orthophosphate Injection Sites (Philip A. Disch Surface Water Treatment Plant,
Wells 40, 120, 121, 125, 143, and 146): for corrosion control.
c) Well No. 107 Nitrate Blending: in-line blendinq is pedormed with water from the City
of San Bernardino. Nitrate levels of Well No. 107 range from 35 to 48 mq/L. San
Bernardino water has nitrate levels from 11.3 to 35 mg/L, with values typically
around 12 and 24 mq/L. The well is reportedly run at maximum capacity of 1,000
GPM, although the 2000 pump test results show only 792 GPM maximum capacity,
and is automatically turned off when flow from San Bernardino drops to 400 GPM.
This set point marginally prevents water over the nitrate MCL to reach the
distribution system. Assuminq the nitrate levets of the well and City water are both
high, 48 and 35 m.q/L respectively, 400 GPM of City water will dilute the nitrate
concentration to 43.6 m.q/L which is much higher than the target blend level of 36
mg/L, though lust under the nitrate MCL of 45 mg/L. A revision of the blending plan
is necessary.
Describe Records Maintained of Treatment: Treatment records are maintained in
accordance with the Permit and Permit Amendment Previsions and are submitted
monthly.

Are all data sheets completed and on file? Yes.
Are DDW coating procedures adhered to? Yes.
Discussion and Appra[sah (i.e., were reservoirs coated, cleaned and/or inspected last year?.
~ Plans for recoatings, cleanings and/or inspections?) The District's current program involves
visual inspection and overflowinq of all reservoirs semi-annually and all forebays annually. All
reservoir and forebay sites are inspected dally. One reservoir, not including booster forebays,
is sched~.lCd for rehabilitation, cleaninq and recoatin.q, every year with priority based on the
condition of the reservoir. Forebays are replaced or rehabilitated as needed. All tanks appear
to be in .qood condition except for Plant 37, scheduled to be replaced with construction to
begin shortly, and Plant 134, scheduled to be rehabilitated this year. More frequent
rehabilitation is suq.qested as with 20 tanks, a 20-year rehabilitation cycle may not keep up
with tank deterioration.
E. TRANSMISSION FACILITIES
Describe transmission facilities: There are no siqnificant transmission facilities other than the
nine-mile Ionq Santa Ana River pipeline carrying water to the SWTP.
Discussion and Appraisal: The first 1,800 feet of the transmission line following the intake
from the North Fork Basin is an open ditch. The rest is 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe that is
be. low and above ground at several locations. This line is in qood condition.

Discussion and Appraisal: Adequate alarms and reliability with the exception of the disinfection
process. The alarm and shutdown set points for chlorine residuals and clearwell level do not provide
adequate Giardia inactivation to meet the CT requirement when the water condition is at its worst,
which last year was a pH of 8.5 and temperature of 8,3° C, In addition, the clearwell effluent chlorine
residual monitorinq point must be equipped with a shutdown feature, Alarm and shutdown response
is instantaneous.
CT VALUE DETERMINATION
Required total disinfection CT: Varies based upon flow, temperature and pH. A CT value calculation
form is used.
Discussion and appraisal: The District has incorporated a daily CT compliance calculation in their
Operations Plan. The calculation includes profilin.q through the contact clarifier and filter and is
performed daily. The calculations suggest that CT requirements are met for 0.5 log Giardia and 2
log virus inactivation when operating below 0.2 NTU and 1 Io.q Giardia and 2 log virus inactivation
when operatinq between 0.2 to 0.5 NTU. However, there are two errors in calculatin.q the CT
requirements:
1. In determininq the daily CT requirement, the weekly raw water total coliform Maximum
Probable Number (MPN) result is not taken into account. In last year's monthly surface water
treatment monitoring summaries, the daily CT requirements were always based on 0.5 log
Giardia removal. This would have been appropriate if the weekly MPN results were no more
than 1,000/100mL in all samples for the whole year. However1 30 pement of last year's
weekly MPN results were over 1,000/100roLl includinq a two-month stretch in July and August
when the weekly MPN results were over 1,000/100mL. Whenever the MPN results are more
than 1,000/100 mL for two samples in a month, 4 log Giardia and 5 log virus removal are
required until three consecutive sample analyses are less than 1,000/100 mL. Therefore, if
the SWTP's monthly 95th percentile turbidity is no more than 0.2 NTU giving filtration 2.5 log
Giardia removal credit, the daily CT requirement should have been based on 1.5 Ioq Giardia
removal. When 1.5 Io¢I Giardia removal was applied to the daily CT requirement in last year's
monthly surface water treatment monitoring summaries for July and August, when two weeks
in a month show MPNs in excess of 1,000/100 mLI there were a few days when the CT
.requirement would have not been met.
2. Two chlorine residuals are used for the CT calculations: the combined filter effluent residual
prior to the clearwell and the distribution system residual past the clearwell but before the entry
point to the distribution system. The combined filter residual is used for calculating CT through
the treatment plant and the system residual for CT throuqh the pipes and clearwell. However,
the combined filter residual is taken after postchlorination. Therefore1 the chlorine residual
used in the CT calculation is not representative of the chlorine residual through the treatment
plant but is actually higher. The District must use the chlorine residual prior to the
postchlorinator for determining CT throuqh the treatment plant. In addition, the chlorine
residual alarm set points must be adiusted depending on the CT requirement. The current
chlorine residual alarm set points are 0.5 mq/L for the combined filter effluent and 0.2 mq/L for
WTP.DOC Page 6 7/5/2001
the distribution system.~'~A review of last year's monthly re'~rts show much hiqher chlorine
residuals were maintained at both monitoring points to meet the CT requirements. Another
alarm set point that must be adiusted based on the CT requirement is the clearwell level,
currently at 24 feet. Again, last year's reports show higher clearwell levels were needed to
meet the CT requirement.
The operations plan must be revised in accordance with the above requirements and when
approved, implemented immediately.
TREATED WATER QUALITY
Effluent residual: 0.5 mg/L treated water minimum (combined filter effluent prior to the clearwell)
and 0.2 mg/l_ at the distribution system entry point (after the clearwell).
95th percentile effluent turbidity: Less than or equal to 0.2 NTU.
Distribution system residuals/plate counts: In accordance with SWTR when there is no detectable
chlorine.
OPERATIONS
Describe records maintained: Full records on adsorption clarification, coagulant addition, filtration,
equipment maintenance and CT maintained and submitted monthly.
Is operations plan adequate, if not describe needed changes: Yes.
Required level of certification: Grade 3 for chief treatment operator; Grade 2 for shift treatment
operator.
Number and level of certified operators: Fred Stafford is the chief treatment operator with a T4
certification. There are four shift treatment operators, all T2 certified: Danial Dietz, Allen Williams,
Earl Batdoff, and Edward King.
~)verall appraisal: Plant desiqn is in compliance with requlations. However, plant operations must be
~'~'revised as described in the CT VALUE DETERMINATION section of this report. The plant is
generally operated to meet the CrVptosporidium Action Plan optimization goals:
1. Flow control valves are used to operate the plant at optimum hydraulic Ioadinq rates
2. In 2000, there were only three turbidity spikes over 0.3 NTU followinq backwash/filter-to-waste
and there were only several occasions when the effluent turbidity took longer than 15 minutes
to decrease to 0.1 NTU
3. Turbidimeters are calibrated with primary standards every two weeks
4. The contact clarifiers are sampled twice daily and each filter continuouslv for turbidity. The
clarifier effluent turbidity is typically less than 1.0 NTU. There were only four clarifier turbidity
results that were over 2.0 NTU in 2000.
5. Reclaimed water turbidity is sampled daily.
6. Four to six percent of the total plant flow is reCycled backwash water.
However, several optimization qoals are not met:
1. As described in the CT Value Determination Section of this report, alarm set points must be
adiusted.
2. Reclaimed water turbidity were typically between 2 and 3 NTU in 2000. The optimized
operational goal is less than 2.0 NTU.

water total coliform MPN is between 1,000 and 10,000/100 mL in two samples in a
month which would then require 4 log Giardia and 5 Ioq virus removal until three
samples in a month show MPN results below 1,000/100 mL.
Page 2 of 10
Discussion and Appraisal: The District collects weekly raw water MPNs but does not
take the results into account when determining the CT requirement.
B. TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
Type of Treatment: Roberts Filter upflow contact clarifiers and multi-media qravity
filters. This technology has been demonstrated as equivalent to conventional filtration.
Is this an approved technology? Yes.
Approved Technologies: Complete treatment, direct filtration, DE filtration, slow sand
treatment (Section 64653(a)).
Removal credit for filtration: 2.5 Io.q for Giardia and 2.0 Io.q for virus when the month V
95thpercentile effluent turbidity is I~ss than or equal to 0.2' NTU and 2.0 Ioq for Giardia
and 1.0 Io.q for virus when the monthly 95"' percentile effluent turb dity is over 0 2 NTU
but no more than 0.5 NTU.

Minimum removal credit is given only if the plant is in compliance with the performance
standards in Section 64653(c) and (d). Additional removal credits must be
demonstrated (Section 64653(e))

representative of the residual through the treatment plant. Unless the residual

cannot be granted for the treatment plant.

(3). This chlorine residual is taken after post-chlorination, and is therefore not
representative of the residual through the treatment plant. Unless the residual
through the treatment plant can be determined, inactivation credit by disinfection
cannot be granted for the treatment plant.
As seen in the above tables, the current alarm set points for chlorine residuals and
clearwell level does not ensure provision of sufficient CT for 0.5 log Giardia removal
under the conditions described above. The plant is operated with chlorine residuals
and clearwell level much higher than the set points to provide the required CT for 0.5
log Giardia removal. These set points must be changed based on the minimum
chlorine residuals and clearwell level that will provide the required CT at all times.
How was contact time determined (i.e. tracer studies)? The Department permitted a
conservative clearwell flow as 10 pement of the theoretical plug flow rate. With the 0.1
correction factor, the treatment plant and clearwell contact time is 112 minutes at the
maximum plant flow rate of 4 MGD with 34 feet of water in the clear well (2.5 MG). To
obtain a more accurate correction factor, a tracer study using lithium was proposed by
the District and was approved by the Department. The tracer study must be completed
as son as possible.
Water Temperature: 8.3-25°C in 2000
Contact time determination (Section 64656(a))
Total treatment reductions for filtration and disinfection: In 2000, the plant operated to
provide at least 3.0 log Giardia and 6.0 log virus removal. On most occasions, 4.0 Ioq
Giardia removal was provided1 with 1.5 log removal coming from disinfection. Typical
plant operation involves achieving greater than 3 Theoretical CT/Required CT ratio.
However1 the calculation of Theoretical CT is incorrect as discussed in the last section
of this report.
Total treatment reductions adequate for soume? (Y/N): Virus reduction is adequate for
the source in anv scenario and with the current chlorine residual and clearwell level
alarm set points. However, with Giardia reduction, the plant operated with a qoal of
providinq only 3.0 Io.q Giardia reduction at all times. The bacteriological quality of the
raw water is not taken into account in determining the Required CT for disinfection. In
2000, there were several months when the raw water MPN is in excess of 11000/100
mL in two samples. As such, the Required CT for disinfection should have been based
on providinq 1.5 log Giardia removal and not only 0 5 log as it typically is. Fortunately,
the plant qenerally operated to achieve qreater than 3 Theoretical CT/Required CT ratio
to still provide 1.5 log Giardia removal most of the time when this much removal was
needed. There were only a few instances last year when 1.5 !oq Giardia removal would
have not been met, Nonetheless, it should be stressed that to ensure that adequate
Giardia reduction is provided at all times, the Required CT must be determined correctly
based on the raw water conditions, particularly total coliform bacterioloqical quality.
Discussion and Appraisal: A review of last year's monthly summary of monitoring fo,,r
surface water treatment requlations shows that for the whole year the monthly 95"'
percentile effluent turbidities were below 0.2 NTU, .gi.ving filtration 2.5 Io.q Giardia and
2.0 log virus removal credit. In addition1 the minimum CT ratio of 1.0 was met
consistent, tv, with the required CT always calculated based on 0.5 log Giardia and at
least 4.0 Ioq virus reduction. For the whole vear, the plant operated to achieve at least
3.0 log Giardia and 6.0 log virus reduction. Howev.er, the procedure for determining CT
compliance is flawed. This is discussed in the last section of this report.

Discussion and Appraisal: The above standards are met.
FILTRATION
Number of filters: 2
Multiple filter units are required. (Section 64659(a)(4))
Type of filters: multi-media gravity {'polishin.q filters)
How is filtration rate controlled: Each filter has a MIC 8200 electronic controller with a
high/Iow flow set point and a hi.qb/Iow level set point controllin.q the contact clarifier
influent and the filter effluent valves. Current maximum set points are 1,400 GPM
(half of maximum plant flow) per filter and four feet of water above the filter media.
With only half the maximum plant flow rate allowed to enter each filter, the filtration
rate will not exceed 5.0 .qpm/sf for the entire plant.
Filtration rate at maximum flow: 5.0 gpm/sq ft
Filtration rate at maximum flow with one filter out of service: With one filter out of
service, the maximum flow is 2 MGD (half of the plant capacity). Filtration rate is still
5.0 gpm/sq ft.

around 2.0 NTU. There are three backwash ponds, one in use, one drying, and one
clean. The ponds are cycled year.ly.
Required by Section 64658(b)(10)
Describe filter maintenance: Filters are inspected visually following a backwash and
checked for mudballs. Twice a year, the filters ars removed from service and drained
down for a full inspection. Core samples are taken to determine media loss.
Standards/Requirements: Pressure filters must be inspected annually and records of
the inspections maintained. (Section 64660(b)~7))

records of plant flow rates, filtration rate, filter maintenance, back wash rate, hours of
operation, calibration of equipment, chemical feed rates, maior equipment and process
failures, and corrective actions taken are maintained. The operators use standard
forms for reporting all plant data and operations.
Minimum Required Records: Results of required monitoring, filter maintenance, plant
flows and production, filtration rates, hours of operations, backwash rates, and
equipment and process failures. (Section 64662(a))
Discussion and Appraisal (Is the system operating in accordance with the plan?/Are
records adequate:): Operations is in accordance with the plan. Records are adequate.
Overall treatment plant appraisal: Turbidity performance standards and CT
requirements were met in the last twelve months. However, there are two errors in the
current method of determininq the CT requirement:
(1) The raw water bacteriological quality, the MPN result in particular, is not taken into
account. In last year's monthly surface water treatment monitorinq summaries, the
daily CT requirements were all based on 0.5 log Giardia reduction. This would have
been appropriate if the weekly MPN results were no more than 1,000/100mL in all
samples for the whole year. But 30 percent of last vear's weekly MPN results were
over 1,000/100mL, including a two-month stretch in July andAugust when the
weeklV MPN results were over 1,000/100mL. Whenever the MPN results are more
than 1,000/100 mL for two samples in a month, 4 loci Giardia and 5 log virus
.reduction is required until three sample analysis in a month are less than 1,000/100
mL. Therefore, if the SWTP's monthly 95"' percentile turbidity is no more than 0.2
NTU giving filtration 2.5 log Giardia removal credit, the daily CT requirement should
be based on 1.5 log Giardia removal. When 1.5 Ioq Giardia removal was applied to
the daily CT requirement in last year's monthly surface water treatment monitoring
summaries when two weeks in a month show MPNs in excess of 11000/100 mL1
there were a few times when the CT requirement would have not been met.
(2) Two chlorine residuals are used for the CT calculations: the combined filter effluent
residual prior to the clearwell and the distribution system residual past the clearwell
but before the entry..point to the distribution system. The combined filter effluent
residual is used for calculatinq CT throuqh the treatment plant and the system
residual used for determining CT throuqh the pipes and clearwell. However, the
combined filter residual is measured after postchlorination. Therefore1 the chlorine
residual used in the CT calculation for the treatment plant is not representative of
Page 10 of 10
the chlorine residual throuqh the treatment plant but is actually higher, resulting in a
higher theoretical CT. The District must use the chlorine residual prior to
postchlorination for determining CT throuqh the treatment plant.
In addition, the chlorine residual and clearwell alarm set points must be adiusted to
meet the CT requirement at maximum plant flow when the water temperature is 8.3°C
and pH of 8.5, the worst water conditions in 2000. The 2000 chlorine residual alarm set
points are 0.5 mg/L for the combined filter effluent and 0.2 mq/L for the distribution
system and the clearwell level alarm set point is 24 feet or 1.8 MG. A review of last
year's monthly reports show much higher chlorine residuals at both monitorinq points
and clearwell levels were maintained to meet the CT requirements. The operations
plan must be revised in accordance with the above discussions and implemented upon
apprqval. Further, the clearwell effluent chlorine residual monitorinq point must be
equipped with shutdown capability. Re.qardinci source monitoring, the District is
delinquent in source water monitoring of both Santa Ana River (SAR) and State Proiect
Water (SPW) for several contaminants. The District was advised of this and agreed to
monitor for all delinquent contaminants this year. In addition, the sanitary survey for the
SAR and SPW, both last conducted in 1996, are due this year.
