Date: 02/06/02
Re: Recommendation regarding the Construction Bids for the relocation of Plant
37
On January 23, 2002, at 2 p.m., the District received two bids for the construction of
a 4-MG pre-stressed concrete reservoir. CDM evaluated the lowest bid for
}O~pliance with the contract documents. Attached is CDM's letter regarding the
~a!~::~ion of the Bids and their findings for your review.
~i~g to,, CDM, the lowest bidder did not comply with the contract documents,
~p."~i~:!y the 5 successful (3-MG or larger) tanks in 5 years". Of the five
g~§~:! tanks submitted by a subcontractor of the lowest bidder, one tank was
~h~ Z ~ ~G. The second bidder exceeded the engineer's estimate.
~::;i:a meeting between CDM, the District, and the District's Counsel, the
£011:6wing recommendation is presented:
1. Reject the current bids.
2. Revise the contract documents to remove the time limit on the five
successful tanks.
3. Re-advertise the project with a bid opening set for February 28, 2002,
at 2 p.m.

Subject: Plant 37 Relocation Bids Evaluation
Dear Mr. Dolter:
This letter presents the results of CDM's evaluation of bids for the Plant 37 Relocation project.
The first advertisement for bids for the subject project appeazed in the Press Enterprise on
December 10, 2001 and in the San Bernardino County Sun on December 11, 2001. The
advertisement ran one time in the Press Enterprise and seven times in the San Bernardino
County Sun. Project plans were also placed on ~e at Bid America, Construction Market Data,
prod F.W. Dodge of McGraw Hill Dodge.
Bid Results
Bids were received at 2 p.m. on January 23, 2002 in the DistricCs office. A total of two bids
were received, as listed below. The detailed list of bidders and bid prices is attached.
Bidder Grand Total Base Bid
1. Schuler Engineering Corporation $ 5,324,947
2. SSC Construction, Inc. $ 5,736,825
The engineer's estimate was $5.5 m'dlion.
From lanuary 24 to 31, the apparent lowest bidder's bid proposal and references were
checked for compliance with the specifications. It was determined that one of the listed
references of the tm~k subcon~actor, Skaar Consh-uction Inc., was for a project that was
outside for the experience time bracket specified in the con~ract documents. This bidder
submitted an alternate reference on ~anuar-y 30 for a project that was wi~ the specJ.fied time

bracket, however this project did not meet the minimum tank size requirements ($ MG)
specified in the contract documents.
Findings
· The apparent lowest bid was not responsive to the Notice Inviting Bids amd the contract
documents;
· The second bidder's bid exceeded the engineer's estimate.

TO: INDEPENDENT SPECIAL DISTRICTS IN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY
SUBJECT: SPECIAL DISTRICTS' FUNDING FOR LAFCO--FY 2002-03
Pursuant to Government Code Section 56381, the independent special
districts are responsible for funding one-third of the cost for LAFCO
operations. In response to this state mandate, the independent special
districts adopted a formula last year by which all districts paid a share of
the LAFCO cost. The districts indicated, however, that the fomula would
apply only for FY 2001-02. It is therefore necessary for the independent
districts to re-visit the issue of LAFCO funding, and determine whether they
wish to adopt a new formula for distribution of LAFCO costs or re-adopt the
previous formula.
A copy of last year's formula and the voting results are attached' for your
review. A meeting of all interested independent districts to discuss this
issue will be held:
MARCH 7, 2002, 1:30 p.m.
LAFCO HEARING CHAMBERS
175 W. FIFTH STREET, SECOND FLOOR
SAN BERNARDINO
Interested districts should develop funding alternatives for presentation at
the meeting and consideration by the attendees. If there is a consensus
among the districts at the meeting, a mailed ballot will be planned to po11 all
the districts. In developing a funding alternative, use the same total amount
used last year ($158,211) since it is not expected to significantly change.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Please let me know if
you have any questions or comments on this issue.

Re: Dewayne Cargill, et al. v. Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California, et al.,
Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC191881
(Consolidated with Case Nos. BC 194444 and BS052318)
Dear Mr. Martin:
We are pleased to inform you that on January 23, 2002, the California Supreme Court
granted Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Petition for Review in the Cargill
action. The decision to grant review effectively de-publishes the Court of Appeal decision, which
had held that common law employees must be enrolled in CalPERS. Thus, the Appellate Court
decision no longer serves as binding precedent.
The support Metropolitan received from public agencies throughout the state
undoubtedly played a significant role in the Supreme Court's decision to grant review. In addition
to the letters of support filed by over fifty individual public agencies, Metropolitan received letters
of support from the following associations: Association of California Water Agencies (440 cities
and special district water agencies); California Association of Sanitation Agencies (92 local public
agencies); California Special Districts Association (550 independent special districts); Education
Legal Alliance of the California School Boards Association (800 public school districts and county
offices of education); League of Cities (476 Calif~o ~rrfi~a cities); and State Water Contractors (27
public water agencies), In total, over 2,500 ~public agencies collectively and individually
demonstrated their support for Metropolitan's position.

Metropolitan will once again solicit support from public agencies to file and/or join
in substantive amicus briefs. Under the current briefing schedule, amicus briefs should be filed by
mid-May 2002. In the event your agency is interested, please contact us at your earliest convenience
so that we can discuss the process for filing and/or joining in amicus briefs before the Supreme
Court.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Subject: Revision to Perchlorate Action level
Attached for your review is an advisory letter from the Department of Health Services
dated February 1, 2002 regarding a revision to the State Action Level for Perchlorate. This
action by the State was based upon a revised draft risk assessment for perchlorate that was
released on January 18, 2002 by the USEPA. Based upon this draft report, the State Department
of Health Services lowered its health based advisory Action Level for perchlorate from 18 parts
per billion (ppb) to 4 ppb as of January 18, 2002. The State has also advised us of the potential
public notification requirements which are required of any water system that has sources of
supply with perchlorate levels in excess of the new Action Level.
I have included a summary of the most recent water quality analyses of perchlorate for a
number of the District's wells. As you will see, the District has several wells which are showing
varying levels of perchlorate contamination. The well having the highest observed level of
perchlorate is Well 12A, which is located near the intersection of 6th Street and Pedley Ave.
DHS has also advised us that we must make notification to the "governing body of the
local agency" if our perchlorate levels exceed the new Action Level of 4ppb. This memo will
serve to advise you, the Board of Directors of the East Valley Water District, of the levels of
perchlorate found in the District's sources of supply. Please be advised that some of the water
produced from these sources of supply has been used for delivery to our consumers. The
Department of Health has also advised us that certain notification requirements will be required
in our 2001 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) which is due by July 1, 2002. These
notification requirements will be included in the Districts' CCR which we are now preparing. I
wish to further advise you that the staff and our consultants are now looking at various
treatment and/or blending options which could be employed to reduce the levels of perchlorate
in our sources of water supply. These treatment plans and associated costs will be presented to
you in the near future. I have also included supplemental information regarding the health
effects of perchlorate and the process used to set an Action Level by the State.

Subject: Revision to Perchlorate Action Level (System No. 3610064)
Dear Mr. Martin:
On January 18, 2002, US EPA released a revised draft risk assessment for
perchlorate, suggesting that the health risks associated with drinking water
containing perchlorate are greater than those presented in the US EPA's 1998
draft assessment. In response to this revised assessment, the Department has
lowered its health-based advisory Action Level for perchlorate from 18 ug/L to 4
ug/L as of January 18, 2002. This letter is to advise you of the potential public
notification requirements following the Department's revision of the perchlorate
Action Level if any of your sources contains perchlorate above the current action
level of 4 ug/L.
Notification to the governing body of the local agency (City Council, County
Board of Supervisors, etc.) is required within thirty (30) days of receipt of results
when a source is discovered to exceed an Action Level (Section 116455, Health
and Safety Code). Department records show that the perchlorate concentration
in some of your sources may exceed the revised Action Level of 4 ug/L based on
previous monitoring results collected from these sources before January 18,
2002. These sources are Wells 01 lA, 012A, 024B, 025A, 027, 028A, 041, and
107. The results of the previous monitoring of your sources did not exceed the
perchlorate Action Level of 18 ug/L at the time; therefore, notification was not
required. In light of the revision to the Action Level, the Department recommends
that you provide notice to the respective local agency(s) of exceedances of the
revised perchlorate Action Level of 4 ug/L based on the monitoring results
collected before January 18, 2002. However, notification to the local
agency(s) will be required if perchlorate monitoring result for samples
collected from any of your sources after January 18, 2002, exceeds the
Action Level of 4 ug/L.
In the 2001 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) due July 1,2002, reporting of
perchlorate detections in 2001, above the detection level (DLR) of 4 ug/L will be
required. Inclusion of the perchlorate Action Level and health effects language

for detections above the prior Action Level of 18 ug/L is optional, but is
recommended. The Department further recommends that you include a footnote
in the CCR that the Department reduced the Action Level for perchlorate from 18
ug/L to 4 ug/L on January 18, 2002. The health effects language you may wish
to use in the CCR for perchlorate are as follows:
Some people who drink water containing perchlorate in excess of the
action level may experience effects associated with hypothyroidism.
Perchlorate interferes with the production of thyroid hormones, which are
required for normal pre- and postnatal development in humans, as well as
normal body metabolism.
Enclosed is a Questions and Answers sheet on perchlorate developed by the
Department that you may use to respond to consumer questions about
perchiorate. For additional information on perchlorate, please see the DHS
website at www.dhs.ca.qov/ps/ddwem/chemicals/chemindex.htm.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
PERCHLORATE---JAN UARY' 2002
What has US EPA done with perchlorate and why is it important?
EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) just released a revised draft risk
assessment for perchlorate, a chemical that has contaminated ground and surface water
supplies in California and around the country. The January 2002 report concludes that the
health risks associated with perchlorate are greater than presented in its 1998 draft
assessment.
Typical risk assessment calculations based upon the 1998 draft suggest that 32 micrograms per
liter, or parts per billion (ppb) would be a level that would not pose a health risk to the adult, and
about 10 ppb for the child. Similar calculations based on the 2002 report result in a
considerably lower level, approximately I ppb for the adult, and about 0.3 ppb for the child.
The NCEA report is available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/ncea.
What is perchlorate?
Perchlorate is an inorganic chemical that is used in the solid rocket propellants, fireworks, and
explosives. It is also has a variety of industrial uses--on a large scale as a component of air
bag inflators, and also in nuclear reactors and electronic tubes, as additives in lubricating oils, in
tanning and finishing leather, in fabrics and dyes, and in electroplating, aluminum refining,
rubber manufacture, and the production of paints and enamels.
Exposures to perchlorate can result in risks to human health.
What is the human health concern?
Perchlorate interferes with the ability of the thyroid gland to utilize iodine to produce thyroid
hormones. Thyroid hormones are needed for normal prenatal and postnatal growth and
development, and for normal metabolic function in the adult.
How does this affect Californians?
Since 1997, when DHS' Sanitation and Radiation Laboratory improved the analytical methods
for perchlorate so that Iow levels could be detected, perchlorate has been found to be a drinking
water contaminant. It has been found in drinking water wells both in northern California and in
southern California. Most of this contamination appears to be the result of historic activities in
the aerospace industry.
QUESTIONS AND ANS~RS-PERCHLORATE ~
JANUARY 2O02
Page 2
The Colorado River, a source of drinking water for many Californians, is also contaminated with
perchlorate. The origin of this perchlorate is a former ammonium perchlorate manufacturing
facility in Nevada.
How many sources of drinking water have been affected?
In 1997 DHS sampled a number of wells, and in 1997-1998 some water systems voluntarily
performed monitoring. Since 1999, DHS has required water systems to monitor for perchlorate
to determine the extent of its presence.
Monitoring drinking water sources (mostly wells) has shown perchlorate to be detected in the
following counties: Los Angeles (34 public water systems, 102 sources), San Bernardino (12
systems, 54 sources), Riverside (6 systems, 39 sources), Sacramento (3 systems, 15sources),
Orange (8 systems, 15 sources), and others (3 systems, 4 sources).
The numbers of wells that exceeded the 18-ppb action level are 23 in Los Angeles County, 12 in
San Bernardino County, 10 in Sacramento County, and 5 in Riverside County. Rarely was any
of this water served to consumers. Most often wells were taken out of service or blended to
meet the action level.
Why is there no drinking water standard for perchlorate?
Prior to 1997 perchlorate has not been a common contaminant, so no federal or state drinking
water standards existed. As a result of perchlorate findings in Sacramento County and
subsequently in southern California, DHS established an 18-ppb advisory Action Level. This
was derived from US EPA repods from 1992 and 1995 from which a calculated 4- to 18-ppb
range resulted.
What is the Department of Health Services doing in response to the EPA assessment?
When an action level is exceeded in a well, water systems are required to notify local
government agencies such as the County Board of Supervisors or the City Council. DHS also
recommends consumers notification whenever the action level is exceeded in their drinking
water supply, and removal of the drinking water source from service if the concentration
exceeds 10 times the action level. (For perchlorate this was 10 times the lower end of the 4- to
18-ppb range, or 40 ppb).
As a result of NCEA's report, DHS has reduced its advisory action level for perchlorate to 4 ppb.
This 4-ppb level is the level of that corresponds to a detection level (called the detection level for
purposes of reporting, the DLR, which is a level at which DHS is confident about the quantity of
perchlorate that is present). The 4-ppb action level is considered protective for the adult,
pregnant woman, infant, and child.
DHS intends to adopt a drinking water standard of perchlorate. This will likely occur by 2004.
Why does it take till 2004 for a standard?
State law dictates the regulatory process. For DHS to adopt an MCL, it must have a public
health goal (PHG) for the contaminant. A PHG is being developed by the Office of
QUESTIONS AND ANSV~c~S-PERCHLORATE ~'
JANUARY 2002
Page 3
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) in the California Environmental Protection
Agency. OEHHA's draft PHG for perchlorate is anticipated early in 2002 and a final PHG later
in 2002.
Once the PHG is final, DHS will propose an MCL. The MCL includes evaluations of the costs of
analyses and treatment, and an opportunity for public comment. The adoption of an MCL
follows the Administrative Procedure Act, and the process established by the Office of
Administrative Law. This process generally takes about a year.
What about people who drank water with perchlorate above 4 ppb but lower than 18 ppb
in the past?
DHS does not believe any health effects would result from perchlorate exposures above 4 ppb'
but below 18-ppb, since the 18-ppb is lower than the level at which adverse health effects would
be anticipated. However, the 18-ppb value does not provide as large a protective buffer as DHS
prefers to maintain, which is why the action level is being lowered.
Where is there more information?

Perchlorate's Drinking Water Action Level
and Regulations
Last Update: January 18, 2002
Actions When Action Level ls Exceeded I Basis for the Action Level I References
Perchlorate is among the unre(~ulated chemicals requirine monitorinq (Title 22, California
Code of Regulations §64450). It is "unregulated" because it has no drinking water standard, also
referred to as a maximum contaminant level (HCL).
In the absence of an HE:L, DHS uses an advisory action level (AL) of 4 micrograms per liter
(pg/L) to protect drinking water consumers from the adverse health effects of perchlorate, which
targets the thyroid gland. The 4-pg/L AL, established in January 2002, replaced the 18-pg/L AL
that was used from 1997 through 2001 (see basis for the nerchlorate action levelL
To propose an MCL for perchlorate, DHS needs a risk assessment. In California such an
assessment is a Public health qoal (pHG)--the contaminant's concentration in drinking water
that does not pose any significant risk to health--which is established by the Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Health and Safety Code §116365(a)
requires DHS, while placing primary emphasis on the protection of public health, to establish a
contaminant's MCL at a level as close as is technically and economically feasible to its PHG.
OEHHA's draft perchlorate PHG is expected in 2002.
Actions When Action Level Ts Exceeded
Certain requirements apply when perchlorate in drinking water exceeds the action level (see
follow-uo monitorinu recommendations):
· Governing Agency Notification: If an action level is exceeded, a public water system is
required to notify the local governing agency (i.e., the city council or county board of
supervisors) within 30 days, even if the well is closed (Health and Safety Code §116455).
In addition, DHS also recommends the following actions by public water systems (see follow-uo
monitorine recommendations)::
· Consumer Notice: If the perchlorate exceeds 4 pg/L, the public water system should
inform its customers and consumers as soon as is feasible about perchlorate's presence and
its potential for adverse health effects. Whenever such a public "right-to-know" notice occurs
as a result of an action level exceedance, the notice should be provided to customers and to
the water-consuming population in the affected area that would not directly receive such
information, including renters, workers and students.
· Source Removal: tf the perchlorate exceeds 40 pg/L, the system should remove the
drinking water source from service. [For "non-carcinogenic" contaminants, DHS
recommends source removal if contamination exceeds 10 times the action level.]
1 of 4 02/04/2002 7:38
Basis for the Action Leve~~ v
1997 through 2001: Perchlorate Action Level = 18 pg/L
Following its oerchlorate findinas in 1997, DHS informed drinking water utilities that US EPA
had determined a provisional reference dose (RfD) for perchlorate, as part of its Superfund
activities (US EPA, 1992, 1995). DHS, in cooperation with OEHHA, reviewed US EPA's perchlorate
evaluations and established a drinking water action level of 18 IJg/L, the upper end of the range
resulting from US EPA's provisional RfD.
DISCUSSION: Standard exposure assumptions allowed calculation of a "safe" drinking water
concentration from the EPA's provisional RfD and result in a 4- to 18-tJg/L range for the adult and
a corresponding :~- to 5-1Jg/L for the child (Table 1). Comparing these values with the No
Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) allows an estimate of the "safety" provided by the AL.
The estimated NOAEL of 0.14 mg/kg/day corresponds to a drinking water concentration of 4,900
IJg/L for the adult and 1,400 pg/L, for the child. These concentrations are approximately 270 and
80 times the 18-1Jg/L AL. In other words, exposures 270 and 80 times the :LB-~Jg/L AL would be
anticipated to have no adverse health effect.
In 1998, calculations based upon the US EPA draft RfD suggest protective concentrations of 32 and
10 lJg/L for the adult and child, respectively. The estimated NOAEL of 0.03 mg/kg/day (=LOAEL of
0.:]. mg/kg/day divided by 3) corresponds to a drinking water concentration of 2,100 IJg/L for the
adult and 300 IJg/L for the child. These concentrations are 120 and 20 times the 18-[Jg/L AL, and
exposures at 120 and 20 times the AL would be anticipated to have no adverse health effect.
2002: Perchlorate Action Level = 4 pg/L
Calculations based upon US EPA's draft RfD (US EPA, 2002) suggested protective concentrations of
I and 0.3 pg/L for the adult and child, respectively. The estimated NOAEL of 0.001 rog/kg/day
(=LOAEL of 0.01 mg/kg/day divided by 10) corresponds to a drinking water concentration of 70
pg/L for the adult and l0 pg/L for the child.
Based on this evaluation, DHS concluded that its AL needed to be revised downward. Accordingly,
DHS reduced the perchlorate AL to 4 pg/L, the same level as the lower of the 4- to ].8-tJg/L range
that provided the prior AL.
The 4-ug/L AL also corresponds to the current detection limit for purposes of reporting (DLR). The
DLR is the level at which DHS is confident about the quantitation of the contaminant in drinking
water. If analytical methods improve and the DLR can be lowered, DHS may reduce the AL further
prior to development of a perchlorate HCL.

Re: Change of payment cycle
January 29, 2002
Dear Board of Directors:
Having just consulted with Malisa of your Office, I would like to reiterate that after
researching with all the utility companies such as disposal, electricity, and gas I have
found your billing system is more cumbersome.
I respectfully suggest that at least the customers with good track record of payment, in
my case for over twenty years, may be allowed to make payment every other month
without being penalized.
Thus will save you and many reliable customers a great deal of unnecessary hassle.
Surely, your progressive changes will make conveniences for Sequent travelers as well.
Your favorable consideration for a policy of bi-monthly payments will be much
appreciated.
Very truly, :
Dr.'Paul Wu

Re: 157-0082-0 / 6314 Baldridge Ct.
Dear Dr. Wu:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding bi-monthly payments for your
service at 6314 Baldridge Ct.
Our current billing system is designed to bill for water services on a
monthly basis. All water meters in the District must be read and billed every 30
days. In addition, there are strict legislative guidelines that dictate the number of
days that must be allowed after the initial billing before a past due reminder will
be processed. Unfortunately, there is not a provision in the existing system that
allows an account to bypass this structured monthly process.
As part of our continuing efforts to provide prompt, efficient and
convenient services for our customers, we are in the process of reviewing a new
utility billing system that could possibly provide a more flexible billing and
payment process for customers in situations similar to yours. In the interim, I
have analyzed your account and, based upon your annual, average water usage,
if you send a payment of $30.00 every other month, you will be able to make bi-
monthly payments and still keep your account current.
Please be assured that the District is always listening to our customers for
ways to provide better service. Please feel free to contact me at the District
office should you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Customer Operations Supervisor

Show Me the Water:
Making Sense oft he New Water and Growth Laws
This special one-da~ Thursday, February 21
will tellyou everything you need 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
to know about California's new Capitol Plaza Holiday Inn,
water and growth laws. The Sacramento
brifffing also will provide water
purveyors, planners and developers
the opportunity to talk.
Speakers will include top water officials, and local and state po'licy-makers,
including state Sen. Mike Machado and state Sen. Sheila Kuehl.
Now in effect are three new measures:
SB__~.~_~ (Machado), which makes a major change in how the State
Water Plan is prepared by requiring greater emphasis on regional and
local solutions to meet a community's water needs.
· SB 221 (Kuehl), which requires, prior to issuance of a final subdivision
map, a determination that adequate water supplies will be available to
serve a new, large housing development.
~ SB 610 (Costa), which expands the requirements that public water
purveyors prepare water supply assessments early in the land-use plan-
ning process.
Additionally, the Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000
(Hertzberg) greatly expanded LAFCO's role in reviewing the ability of local
agencies to serve new developments. Find out about the final guidelines.
Cost: $125, including lunch a.~d background materials.

Lower Colorado River Tour
March 20- 22, 2002
Presented by the Water Education Foundation
The Colorado River is a lifeline to the Southwest, supplying water to almost 25 million people. Development
of the river has transformed arid areas - supplying vast agricultural lands, expanding urban cities and c/eating
world-renown, ed recreational areas. In the Lower Basin virtually every drop of the river is allocated and yet
demand is growing. How the Lower Colorado Basin states - Arizona, California and Nevada- use and manage
this water to meet agricultural, urban, environmental and industrial needs is the focus of the three-state
Lower Colorado River Tour.
The tour travels along the Lower Colorado River t~om Hoover Dam to the Salton Sea and the Coachelia
Valley. Along the way, speakers from various viewpoints discuss the needs and perspectives of agricultural and
urban users in Arizona, California and Nevada. The tour is a must for water policy-makers, water board
managers and direetors~ lawyers, consultants~ }ournalists, and anyone interested in Colorado River issues.
The fast-paced tour begins at tho Emerald Springs Holiday Inn in Las Vegas

Airport by 6 p.m., Friday, March 22. A¢fiv/fies include a tour of Hoover ..
Dam and a boat ride on Lake Mead.
On the tour, you will learn about: · Lower Basin state perspectives - Arizona, Nevada and California
· The California 4.4 plan and interim surplus flow criteria
· Water marketing and future allocation of Colorado River water
· Tribal water rights and how they affect the fiver supply
· Agricultural water use, irrigation and drainage problems
· Border issues between the Lower Basin and Mexico
· Groundwater use, wanag~a~nt and banking
· E~clangered species and multi-species p]annlng
· Salton Sea ecological and salinity issues
The mission of the Water Education Foundation, an impartial, non-profit organization, is to create a better
understanding of water i~$ues and help resolve water resource problems through educational program~.
