WHEREAS, the Orange County Water District(°OCWD')was formed by a special act of the
California Legislature in 1933 to: (1) manage the Orange County groundwater basin for users' benefit; and
(2)protect the groundwater basin users'water rights; and
The OCWD member agencies are presently the Cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Fountain Valley,
Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Newport Beach, Orange, Santa Ana, Seal Beach,
Tustin and Irvine Ranch Water District, the Mesa Consolidated Water District, the Santiago Water District,
the Serrano irrigation District,the Southern California Water Company, and the Yorba Linda Water District;
and
Only portions of Anaheim, Irvine Ranch Water District, Santiago County Water District and the
Yorba Linda Water District are within the OCWD present boundaries; and
The Irvine Ranch Water District and the Yorba Linda Water District petitioned for annexation of their
outlying service areas into the Orange County Water District; and
The basin's present member-pumped water demand is 354,000 acre feet/year but that in the year
2020,their basin water demand will be 42B4O00 acre feet; and
The OCWD Board of Directors is considering expanding its District boundaries, in accordance with
its existing adopted policy, to include all of the area that lies within the basin's drainage area;
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
opposes any expansion of the Orange County Water District boundaries until studies demonstrate that
