Dear Ms. Wallace:
A contract amendment cost analysis for each actuarial valuation requested
and related information are enclosed.
As your contract reads, the agency is required to pay a reasonable amount
to cover the costs of special valuations. Each agency may receive one
actuar-ia~ valuation per fiscal year at no cost, for each member category.
Additional actuarial valuations cost $200.00. If applicable, you will receive
an invoice from our Fiscal Services Division.
The information was based on the most recent annual valuation and is
good until the next annual valuation report is sent to your agency. If your
agency does not take action to amend its contract and we have mailed the
next annual valuation report to your agency, you must contact our office for
an updated cost analysis.
The change in the employer contribution rate, as of the effective date of the
proposed amendment, is displayed on the "Change to Total Employer
Rate" line on page 4 of the Contract Amendment Cost Analysis. The
change in the employer contribution rate under the applicable alternative
should be added to the employer's current rate on the amendment effective
date. If the amendment effective date is on or after July 1 of the year that
is two years after the valuation basis year, the total new employer
contribution rate will be the rate displayed in the applicable "Post-
Amendment" column on page 4.
California Public Employees' Retirement System
Lincoln Plaza - 400 P Street - Sacramento, CA 95814
East Valley Water District -2- March 6, 2002
The local miscellaneous member contribution rate will be 8% of reportable
earnings, as of the effective date of the amendment to the contract.
To initiate an amendment to the contract, the enclosed Anticipated
Schedule of Agency Actions must be completed and returned to this office.
If you have questions regarding the actuarial valuation, please contact the
Actuary, Gale Patrick at (916) 326-3709. For questions concerning the

Total Employer Contribution Rate
While the tables above give the changes in the "cost" and funded ~tatus of the plan due to thc amendment,
there remains the question of what will happen to thc employer contribution rate because of the change in
plan provisions.
CalPEKS policy is to implement rate changes due to plan amendments immediately on the effective date
of the change in plan benefits. In general, thc policy also provides that the change in unfunded liability
due to the plan amendment will be separately amortized over a period of 20 years from the effective date
of the amendment and all other components of the plan's unfunded liability/excess assets will continue to
be amortized separately.
However, your actuary may choose to apply different rules to plans with a current employer contribution
rate of zero. The pre-amendmant excess assets in these plans were sufficient to cover the employer's
nonna~ cost for one or more years into the future. A plan amendment will use up some or all of the pre-
amendment excess assets. In order to maintain our goal of providing rates that are relatively stable, while '
taking into account known or expected future events, your actuary may decide to spread any remaining
excess assets over a single number of years. This is known as a "fresh start" and will generally be for a
period not less than 10 years. If the amendment uses up all excess assets and creates an unfunded liability
(i.e. fi.om being ahead of schedule to behind schedule), .thc total post-amendment unfunded liability may
be amortized over 20 years.
In no cas~ may the annual contribution with regard to a positive unfunded liability be less than the amount
whic.~'would be required to amortize that unfunded liability, as a level percent of pay, over 30 years.
One aspect of the Board's Yune 20, 2001 Kesolution is that, generally, if an agency elects an alternative
which increases the actuarial value of assets (alternative 2 or 3), the result will be a lower short-term
contribution and a higher longer-term contribution. To illustrate this we have estimated what the impact
might be when the June 30, 2001 valuation is prepared. Please be aware th/s estimate assumes there are
no changes to actuarial assumptions or methods, there are no actuarial gains or losses, and there are no
plan changes such as work force changes and employer paid member contributions converted to pay.
However, we have taken into account CalPER.S' 3nne 30, 2001 year-end market value rate of return,
-7.2%. The actual employer rate from July l, 2003 to Iune 30, 2004 will be set by the Iune 30, 2001
annual valuation and will likely deviate from this estimate.
The table below shows the change in your plan's employer contribution rate due to the plan amendment.

Accrued Liability
It is not required, nor necessarily desirable, to have accumulated assets sufficient to cover the total present
value of benefits until every member has left employment. Instead, the actuarial funding process
calculates a regular contribution schedule of employee contributions and employer contributions (called
normal costs) which are designed to accumulate with interest to equal the total present value of banefits
by the time every member has left employment. As of each June 30, the actuary calculates the
"desirable" level of plan assets as of that point in time by subtracting the present value of scheduled future
employee contributions and future employer normal costs from the total present value of benefits. The
result/ng "desirable" level of assets is called the accrued liability.
A plan with assets exactly equal to the plan's accrued liability is simply "on schedule" in funding that
' plan, and only future employee contributions and future employer normal costs are needed. A plan with
assets below the accrued liability is "behind schedule", or is said to have an unfunded liability, and must
temporarily increase contn3outions to get back on schedule. A plan with assets in excess of the plan's
accrued liability is "ahead of schedule", or is said to have excess assets, and can temporarily reduce future
contributions. A plan with assets in excess of the total present value of benefits is called super-funded,
and neither future employer nor employee contributions are required. Of course, events such as plan
amendments and investment or demographic gains or losses can change a plan's condition from year to
year. For example, a plan amendment could cause a plan to move all the way from being super-funded to
being in an unfunded position.
The changes in your plan's accrued liability, unfunded accrued liability, and the funded ratio as of 3'uno
30, 2000 due to the plan amendment are shown in the table below.

Benefit Description: 21354.5, 2.7% (~ 55 (Includes All Non-Retired Local Miscellaneous Members)
If your agency is requesting cost information for two or more benefit changes, the cost of adopting more
than one of these changes may not be obtained by adding the individual costs. Instead, a separate
valuation mu~t be done to provide a cost analysis for the combination of benefit changes. If the proposed
plan amendmc~nt applies to only some of the employees in the plan, the rate change due to the plan
amendment still applies to the entire plan, and is still based on the total plan payroll.
Any mandated benefit improvements not included in the June 30, 2000 annual valuation (such as the
change to thc 90% cap for safety plans) have not been incorporated into this cost analysis. '
· Please note that the cost analysis provided in this document may not be relied upon once the CalPERS
actuaral staff have completed the next annual valuation, that is, the annual valuation as of June 30, 2001.
If you have not taken action to amend your contract, and we have already mailed the June 30, 2001
annual valuation report, you must contact our office for an updated cost analysis, based on the new annual
valuation.
Descriptions of the actuarial methodologies, actuarial assumptions, and plan benefit provisions may be
found in the appendices of the ~'une 30, 2000 annual report. Please note that the results shown here are
subject to change if any of the data or plan provisions change from what was used in this study..
Certification
This actuarial valuation for the proposed plan amendment is based on the participant, benefits, and asset
data used in the June 30, 2000 annual valuation, w~th the benefits modified if necessary to reflect what is
currently provided under your contract with CalPERS, and further modified to reflect the proposed plan
amendment. The valuation has been performed in accordance with standards of practice prescribed by the
Actuarial Standards Board, and the assumptions and methods are internally consistent and reasonable for
this plan, as prescribed by the CalPEKS Board of Administration according to provisions set forth in the
California Public Employees' Retirement Law. The valuation has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted actuarial practice except that, under a CalPER. S Board resolution, an increased
actuarial value of assets may be substituted for the actuarial value of assets that would have been
produced by the current and generally accepted actuarial asset smoothing method described in the annual
report. If your agency elects not to increase the actuarial value of assets permitted by the Board
resolution, then nn exception exists.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR PROVISIONS
2.7% @ 55 Formula (Section 21354.5)
Local Miscellaneous Members
SERVICE RETIREMENT
To be eligible for service retirement, a member must be at least age 50 and have five years of
CalPERS credited service. There is no compulsory retirement age.
The monthly retirement allowance is determined by age at retirement, years of service credit
and final compensation. The basic benefit is 2.7% of final compensation for each year of
credited service upon retirement at age 55. If retirement is earlier than age 55, the percentage
of final compensation decreases for each quarter year of attained age to 2% at age 50.
Final compensation is the average monthly pay rate during the last consecutive 36 months of
employment, or 12 months if provided by the employer's contract, unless the member
designates a different period of 36 or 12 consecutive months when the average pay rate was
higher.
DISABILITY RETIREMENT
Members permanently incapacitated from performing their duties are eligible for disability
retirement provided they have at least five years of service credit. The monthly retirement
allowance is 1.8% of final compensation for each year of service. The maximum pementage for
members who have between 10.000 and 18.518 years of service credit is one-third of their final
compensation. If the member is eligible for service retirement, the member will receive the
higher allowance payable, service or disability. If provided by the employer's contract, the
benefit would be a minimum of 30% of final compensation for the first five years of service
credit, plus 1% for each additional year of service to a maximum benefit of 50% of final
compensation.
INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT
If provided by the employer's contract, members permanently incapacitated from performing
their duties as a result of a job-related injury or illness may receive 50% of their final
compensation (or more by additional contract provisions). The industrial disability retirement
allowance for members who entered membership in a miscellaneous category after January 1,
1980, cannot exceed the amount that would be payable for a service retirement if employment
had continued to age 63. This limit may not apply if the member was disabled because of a
direct violent act upon their person or as a result of hazardous and dangerous duty required for
the position. If the member is eligible for service retirement, the service retirement allowance is
payable if greater than the industrial disability retirement allowance.
PRE-RETiREMENT DEATH BENEFITS
Basic Death Benefit: This benefit is a refund of the member's contributions plus interest and up
to six months' pay (one month's salary rate for each year of current service to a maximum of six
months).
PERS-CON-57 (Eft. 1/1/2002)
1957 Survivor Benefit: An eligible beneficiary may elect to receive either the Basic Death
Benefit or the 1957 Survivor Benefit. The 1957 Survivor Benefit provides a monthly allowance
equal to one-half cf the highest service retirement allowance the member would have received
had he/she retired on the date of death. The 1957 Survivor Benefit is payable to the surviving
spouse until death or to eligible unmarried children until age 18.
1959 Survivor Benefit: (If provided by the employer's contract and the member is not covered
under social security). A surviving spouse and e~igible children may receive a monthly
allowance as determine by the level of coverage. This benefit is payable in addition to the
Basic Death Benefit or 1957 Survivor Benefit. Children are eligible if under age 22 and
unmarried.
Pre-Retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit: (If provided by the employer's contract.)
The spouse of a deceased member, who was eligible to retire for service at the time of death,
may to elect to receive the Pre-Retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit in lieu of the
lump sum Basic Death Benefit. The benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the amount the
member would have received if he/she had retired for service on the date of death and elected
Optional Settlement 2, the highest monthly allowance a member can leave a spouse.
COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENTS
The cost of living allowance increases are limited to a maximum of 2% compounded annually
unless the employer's contract provides a 3, 4, or 5% increase.
DEATH AFTER RETIREMENT
The lump sum death benefit is $500 (or $600, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 or $5,000 if provided by
the employer's contract) regardless of the retirement plan chosen by the member at the time of
retirement.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Members who have separated from employment may elect to leave their contributions on
deposit or request a refund of contributions and interest. Those who leave their contributions
on deposit may apply at a later date for a monthly retirement allowance if the minimum service
and age requirements are met. Members who request a refund of their contributions terminate
their membership and are not eligible for any future benefits unless they return to CaIPERS
membership.
EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS
Miscellaneous members covered by the 2.7% @ 55 formula contribute 8% of repot[able
earnings. Those covered under a modified formula (coordinated with Social Security) do not
contribute on the first $133.33 earned.
The employer also contributes toward the cost of the benefits. The amount contributed by the
employer for current service retirement benefits generally exceeds the cost to the employee. In
addition, the employer bears the entire cost of prior service benefits (the period of time before
the employer provided retirement coverage under CalPERS). Ail employer contribution rates
are subject to adjustment by the CalPERS Board of Administration.

Re: Salary Survey
The DistriCt bas typically conducted salary surveys for its general work force
during: ~Ve~ other contract cycle (every 6 years). During past contract
negOti~tiS~Si I conducted salary surveys for the District's exempt employees
(supPliantS ~nd managers) during the following year. The last salary survey
that ~ ~%ducted for the general workforce occurred three (3) years ago. I
did not;bonduct a survey for the exempt employees until earlier this year.
Enclosed for your review is the survey information I used from surrounding
agencies for the twelve (12) positions at the District that are exempt (non-
union) excluding myself. As always, it is difficult to find good comparative
data for all of these positions. The results are presented for your review,
along with my recommendations for salary adjustments. This matter has
been presented to the Board's Personnel Committee for their review.
Following a review and discussion of the information presented, the
Committee recommended approval of these salary changes to the full Board.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated.

Subject: Vactor Purchase
Contained within our recently approved budget for this current fiscal year is a line
item request to purchase a new Sewer Vactor. The District currently has two of these
units in use at this time. These are two of the most heavily used pieces of equipment we
have in our fleet. They are used both for sewer maintenance operations as well as water
line repairs. Attached for your review are quotations from the two Vactor representatives
in California. Each company provided a quote based upon specifications prepared by our
mechanics and sewer crewmembers. The quotes from these two vendors are as follows:
Haaker Equipment Company - $292,129.00
R/cker Machinery Company - $293,393.00
Both prices include tax. I should point out that the quotes we received for this
vehicle are higher than we anticipated during the preparation of our budget. The total
amount budgeted for this equipment was $225,000.00.. I anticipate however, that we will
-l~e able to sell our oldest Vactor unit on a ~onsigmuent basis. We expect to receive
something on the order of $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 for our used Vaetor. I recommend
that the Board approve the purchase of a new Vactor sewer unit as specified in these
quotations and order the unit from Haaker Equipment Company. In addition, I would
request authority from the Board to surplus the older Vactor unit once the new unit has
been delivered and sell via consigmnent with Haaker Equipment Company in Pomona,
California.

Project Title: Plant #146 Well Proiect
Project Location: Southwest corner of Church Street and Greenspot Road
Project Location - City: Highland Project Location - County: San Bemardino
Description of Nature, Purpose, and Beneficiaries of Project: EVWD operates an existing domestic water
well at its Plant #146 facility. The existing well had an original pumping capacity cf about 2,000 gallons per
minute (gpm). The well is presently experiencing problems with its casing and, as a result, its pumping
capacity has been reduced to less than 1,300 cpm. EVWD is proposing tO develop a new well at Plant #146
with an estimated 1,500 - 2,000 gpm pumping capacity. The existing well at Plant #I 46 will either be used as
a haekup well or will be refurbished. Because the wells will be located about 100 to 120 feet apart, the two
wells will not be in full production at the same time and total water production capacity at Plant #146 will be
substantially the same as historic production levels. The purpose of the proiect is to provide EVWD customers
an adequate supply of high quality drinking water.

Categorical Exemption for the
Plant #'146 Well Project
The proposed project will result in the minor alteration of an existing water system facility that
involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The project has no potential to cause
significant effects either individually or cumulatively on the environment and is therefore exempt
from the provisions of CEQA, The following substantiates this conclusion.
Substantiation:
1. Aesthetics - The project will result in the construction and operation of a new water
production well within the fenced and screen compound of the existing Plant #146 site. The
compound is surrounded by a 6-foot wall that is landscaped. The proposed well will not be
visible from outside the compound and no impacts to visual resources or aesthetics will
result.
2. Agriculture - Plant #146 occupies a +l-acre site that has been leveled and developed with
water production facilities. No agricultural activities or soils will be affected by this project.
3. Air Quality- In the short term, well drilling and development will result in emissions from the
construction equipment and some minor land disturbance activities. The delivery of
equipment and materials will also generate minimal emissions from vehicles due to the
small size of the project. Based on data provided in Table 6.2 of the South Coast Air
Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Handbook, the construction of the
V proposed well will result in emissions that are well below SCAQMD's threshold of
significance for construction emissions.
In the long term, operation of the well will result in emissions to generate electricity to power
the motors at the well. However, because the proposed well will essentially replace an
existing well, emissions will remain about the same that presently occur.
4. Biological - The proposed well will be located on an existing EVWD water supply site from
which all native vegetation and habitat has been removed. The site has been graded and
compacted and no potential for impacts to any sensitive plant or animal species will result
from implementing this project.
5. Cultural Resources - The project site has been completely disturbed by previous
development activities. The site has been excavated, graded and compacted. The
potential for cultural resources to occur is considered highly unlikely.
6. Geology / Soils - The site is not located within Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. No
known or suspected earthquake faults exist on or adjacent to the site. Adequate
engineering and construction techniques are readily available to reduce the potential for
damage or destruction of the proposed facilities from geologic hazards (groundshaking,
liquefaction, unstable earth conditions, etc.) to a less than significant level.
7. Hazards and Hazardous Materials - The proposed facilities will store and supply potable
~ water. No hazardous materials or substances will be utilized by the proposed project.
-1-
8. Hydrology and Water Quality - The proposed project will not substantially increase the
pumping capacity at Plant #146 beyond historic levels. Therefore, this project will not
substantially increase the withdrawal of groundwater from the basin. The proposed facilities
will be located on an existing, developed site that has adequate drainage facilities to control
stormwater runoff. The project will not alter existing drainage patterns or increase storm-
water runoff from the site.
The project will provide a more reliable, efficient method of supplying potable water to the
EVWD system and is therefore considered a benefit to water quality.
9. Land Use / Planning - The project site is existing EV~VD water supply facility. Due to its
location and size, the project has no potential to disrupt or divide a community.
The proposed project consists of water supply facilities that are exempt from local land use
planning regulations and therefore considered compatible within all land use designations.
No habitat or natural community conservation plans apply to this site.
10. Mineral Resources - The site is not designated a natural resource zone and no known
mineral resources exist onsite.
11. Noise - In the short term, some minor increases in noise will be generated by well drilling
equipment. These noise levels will not be health threatening and will occur over a period
of a few weeks. In the long term, the pump motors will generate noise levels that are
similar to the existing motors. No significant change in noise generated onsite will result.
Standard EVWD design and construction techniques include noise attenuation devices for
mechanical equipment.
12. Population / Housing - The proposed project will not displace any existing housing nor
result in the construction of new housing. The proposed facilities will not substantially
increase the capacity of Plant #146 to supply water, only provide a more reliable supply of
water produced at the plant.
13. Public Services - The proposed project will not adversely affect any public services or
facilities. The project will be a benefit to water supply services in that it will provide a more
reliable, efficient method of producing high quality potable water.
14. Recreation -The provision of facilities that produce a more reliable source of potable water
have no potential to adversely affect recreational facilities or opportunities.
15. Transportation / Traffic - In the short term, construction of these facilities will generate a
small amount of additional traffic with the delivery of equipment and materials. These few
daily trips (maybe 20) will not adversely affect the level of service of affected roadways
which have adequate capacity to accommodate these few trips. No long-term traffic will be
generated by this project.

RE: Public Protection Classification Results
City of Highland, San Bemardino, CA
Dear Mr. Racadio:
We wish to thank you and the other community officials for your cooperation during our recent '
Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey. ISO is the leading supplier of statistical,
underwriting, and actuarial information for the property/casualty insurance industry. Most
insurers use the PPC classifications for underwriting and calculating premiums for residential,
commercial and industrial properties.
ISO has completed its analysis of the structure fire suppression delivery system provided in your
community. We would like to report that the resulting classification is a Class 4/10.
Congratulations on your commitment to serve the needs of your community's property owners
and residents.
Enclosed is a summary of the ISO analysis of your fire suppression services. If you would like to
know how your commun/ty's classification could improve, or if you would like to learn about the
potential effect of proposed changes to your fire suppression delivery system, please call us at the
phone number listed below.
The PPC program is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive structure fire
suppression delivery system program. It is not for purposes of determining compliance with any
state or local law, nor is it for making recommendations about loss prevention or life safety.
If you have any questions about your classification, please let us know.
Very truly yours,
Public Protection Classification Dept.

STAT~ivlZNT
THE ISO PUBLIC PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION (PPC) PROGRAM
ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria defined in the
Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). This criteria incorporates nationally recognized
standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works
Association.
Using the FSRS, ISO objectively reviews the fire suppression capabilities of a community and
assigns a Public Protection CIassification- a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary
fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet
minimum recognition criteria.
The FSRS allocates credit by evaluating the following three major features:
· Fire alarm and communication system. This review accounts for 10% of the total
classification which centers upon a community's facilities and support for handling and
dispatching fire alarms.
· Fire department. This review accounts for 50% of the total classification which focuses
upon items such as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire
stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve
apparatus, department maturing, and training.
Water supply system. This review accounts for 40% of the total classification
highlighting the water supply a community uses for fire suppression, including hydrant
size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire
hydrants.
When ISO develops a single classification for a community, all of the community's properties
receive that classification. In many communities, ISO develops a split classification (for
example, 5/9). Generally, the first class, (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within a
defined distance (5-road miles in most states) of a fire station and within 1000 feet of a fire
hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties beyond 1000 feet ora
hydrant but within the defined distance of a fire station. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to
properties beyond the defined distance of a fire station.

ABOUT THE DISTRICT
BACKGROUND
San Bemardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) was formed in 1954 to plan
long-range water supply for the San Bernardino Valley. It imports water into its service
area through padicipation in the California State Water Project ~maaages
groundwater storage within its boundaries: It was incorporated under the Municipal
Water District Act of 1911 (California Water Code Section 7100 et seq., as amended).
Its enabling act includes a broad range of powers to provide water, as well as
wastewater, stormwater disposal, recreation, and fire protection services.
SBVMWD covers about 325 square miles in southwestern San Bernardino County,
about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, and has a population of about 600,000. It spans the
eastem two-thirds of the San Bemardino Valley, the Crafton Hills, and a portion of the
Yucaipa Valley, and includes the cities and communities of San Bernardino, Colton,
Loma Linda, Redlands, Rialto, Bloomington, Highland, Grand Terrace, and Yucaipa.
The Distdct is govemed by a five-member Board of Directors, elected for over lapping
four-year terms. The District's current Board members are:
· C, Patrick Milligan, President, representing Division III.
· George Agui!ar, Vice President, representing Division II.
· Edward B, Killgore, Secretary, Secretary, representing Division I.
· Mark Bulot, Treasurer, representing Division IV.
· Steve Copelan, representing Division V.
DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITIES
The District's responsibilil¥ for long-range water supply planning includes importing
supplemental water and management of the groundwater basins within its boundaries. It
has specific responsibilities for monitoring groundwater supplies in the San Bemardino
and Colton-Rialto basins and maintaining flows at Riverside Narrows on the Santa Ana
River. It fulfills its responsibilities by importing water through the California State Water
Project (SWP) for direct delivery and groundwater recharge and by coordinating the
delivery of water resources to retail agencies throughout its area. The District does not
deliver water directly to retail water customers.
SBVMWD cooperates in a program to help replenish groundwater, using both SWP
water and local runoff. The District takes delivery of SWP water at the Devil Canyon
Power Plant Afterbay, which is located just within its northern boundary. Water is
conveyed 17 miles eastward to various spreading, agricultural, and wholesale domestic
delivery points in the San Bernardino basin. Water is also conveyed westward for direct
delivery and recharge in the Colton-Rialto basin.
http://www.sbvmwd.com/About%20Pages/aboutthe.htm 8/5/02
About the District Page 2 of 4
In the 1960's the o~,,,,commitment of water in the Santa Ana Ri~tatershed led to
lawsuits between water users in the upper and lower watersheds over the use of both
surface flows and groundwater. The lawsuits culminated in 1969 in two major
judgments: Orange County Water District v. City of Chino et al. and Western Municipal
Water District et al. v. East San Bernardino County Water District et aL Under the terms
of the settlements, SBVMWD became responsible for providing a specified Santa Ana
River base flow to Orange County and maintaining the safe yield and water levels in
certain specified key wells. If the conditions of both or either judgment are not met by
the natural water supply, SBVMWD is required to deliver supplemental water to offset
the deficiency. The judgments resolved the major water rights issues that had prevented
the development of long-term area wide water supply plans.
The District is responsible for maintaining the groundwater level in certain wells in the
Colton-Rialto basin at an average of 822 feet above sea level. The average static
groundwater level in these wells, as reported in the August 1, 1992 watermaster report
to the court, was 873 feet above sea level.
The District is also legally required to maintain a flow equivalent to approximately
15,250 acre-feet per year at Riverside Narrows on the Santa Ana River. Treated
sewage effluent from the Cities of San Bernardino, Colton, and Rialto discharged to the
Santa Aha River currently accounts for about 25,000 acre-feet per year. The District has
contracts with the Cities of San Bemardino and Colton obligating their flows to meet this
requirement. As a result of this treated effluent discharge and normal stream flow in the
Santa An River, the District has never had to use imported water to augment flows in
the Santa Ana River. In addition, under terms of the adjudication, as of the end of the
1991-92 water year, the District had 465,863 acre-feet in credit for flows in excess of
requirements during prior years. The District could, if needed, use these water credits to
meet this pad of its legal obligation during dry years, subject to a minimum annual flow
of 12,420 acre-feet at Riverside Narrows.
The District maintains groundwater supplies in three additional groundwater basins:
Bunker Hill, Yucaipa, and San Timoteo. Since beginning to import SWP water in 1972,
the District has maintained groundwater supplies in the Bunker Hill basin at adequate
levels. The District's facilities are capable of delivering SWP or local water to spreading
basins for percolation into underlying aquifers in these groundwater basins.
WATER SUPPLY
The Santa Ana River and its tributaries are the principal source of native surface water
for the urbanized portions of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties, an area
with a population of about 4 million. Combined agricultural and domestic water demand
in this region exceeds the availability of water from the Santa Ana River or groundwater
supplies in the watershed, requiring imported water. The lack of both native surface
water and imported water for many years prior to 1963 led to groundwater overdraft
within SBVMWD's boundaries. In more recent years, increased groundwater recharge
has led to high groundwater levels in certain areas of the district.
Groundwater is the principal source of supply in the District's service area. Other
sources of water supply are the SWP, the Santa Ana River, and its major tributaries, Mill
Creek and Lytle Creek. The District's SWP water entitlements are discussed under the
heading STATE WATER PROJECT in this official statement. The District delivers Santa

Aha River and Mill,,~,,~ek water to water suppliers in its eastern I:~ons through the
Cooperative Water Project Agreement, discussed subsequently.
STATE WATER PROJECT
The District is one of 29 contractors to the California State Water Project, which delivers
water from northern California to various parts of the state. SBVMWD's contract
entitlement for state water was 1,677 acre-feet in 1972, the initial year of deliveries, and
increased to a maximum entitlement of 102,600 acre-feet in 1991. Its maximum
entitlement is the fifth-largest of the SWP contractors.
The SWP is owned and operated by the State of Califomia, Department of Water
Resoumes (DWR). Its principal facilities consist of Oreville Dam on the Feather River in
No[them California and the California Aqueduct, which transports water from the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta over 300 miles south to the Tehachapi Mountains.
At the base of the Tehachapis, DWR operates the A. D. Edmonston pump station,
which lifts SWP water over the mountains, the largest single lift in the world. Pipeline
facilities run from the Tehachapis to the Devil Canyon Power Plant and from Devil
Canyon to Lake Perris, 25 miles south, which is the terminus of the SWP. The Devil
Canyon Power Plant Afterbay is a principal point from which SWP water flows by gravity
to SWP contract water users in Southem California, including SBVMWD.
The SWP currently delivers about 2.3 million acre-feet annually. SWP contracts call for
ultimate delivery of a total of 4.2 million acre-feet per year. It has been determined,
however, that without modification, the SWP is not capable of meeting ultimate delivery
needs. Moreover, statewide drought conditions and environmental constraints in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay can significantly curtail the
availability of water from the SWP, making the quantity of available water from the SWP
uncertain from year to year.
Each of the 29 water supply contracts contains a schedule of annual water entitlements.
For most contracts, the amounts increase yearly up to the maximum annual entitlement.
Originally, DWR estimated that all contractors would need their maximum entitlement by
about 1990. While this held true for agricultural contractors, slower population growth
and increased conservation measures now indicate that the maximum entitlement
deliveries for urban contractors will not be needed until after 2010.
Developing new supplies is necessary if SWP is to meet its contractual obligations to
long-term contractors. DWR has identified certain programs for meeting SWP's
contractual obligations. Those programs involve increasing the water supply through
improvements in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to more efficiently transfer water to
the pumps while protecting the delta environment, constructing off-stream storage
facilities, developing SWP groundwater storage (subsurface) facilities, and developing
conjunctive-use projects in cooperation with local agencies.
The SWP's largest single operating expense is the cost of power to operate the pump
stations. It requires a net consumption of 3,200 kilowatt-hours per acre-foot to deliver
water to the Devil Canyon Power Plant Afterbay from the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta, a net lift of 1,924 feet. Present SWP energy requirements are about 8 billion
kilowatt-hours per year, and by 2000 they are expected to average nearly 11 billion
annually. Available power resources total about 10 billion kilowatt-hours--60 pement
http://www.sbvmwd.com/About%20Pages/aboutthe.htm 8/5/02
About the District Page 4 of 4
from project-owne~,,,,Cilities and 40 percent from purchases or d~,aCanges. The net
energy cost currently equates to about $112 per acre-foot using a SWP cost of 3.5
cents per kilowatt-hour. Pumping charges are passed directly to SWP water contractors.
STATE WATER PROJECT CONTRACT
On December 30, 1960, the District signed a contract with DWR for the delivery of water
through the SWP. An additional contract was executed to cover the District's share of
the costs of the Devil Canyon/Castaic power facilities. The contracts extend to 2035,
and include a schedule of annual water entitlements.
The District's annual entitlement and water deliveries are shown in Table 1. The District
tlrst took delivery of SWP water in 1972. In its 1993 annual report on the SWP, DWR
projects that the Distdct will pumhase 35,000 acre-feet in 1994, then gradually increase
its pumhases until they reach the full entitlement of 102,600 acre-feet per year in 2010.
The District's contract with DWR requires annual payment of fixed transportation costs,
Delta water charge, and revenue bond surcharge, based on entitlement, and the
vadable transportation costs and off-aqueduct power facilities, based on actual water
deliveries.
The anticipated costs for all the off-aqueduct power facilities are allocated to contractors
based on the total requested entitlement deliveries. This initial billing is revised if
changes in entitlement requests are made. The annual cost to each contractor varies
and is based on its proportionate share of water deliveries in each year.
