CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES.1 Purpose
This report updates the City's water master plan, which was last updated in December
2012. As various parts of the water system infrastructure age, they will need to be
rehabilitated and/or replaced through a systematic Capital Improvement Program. The
primary purpose of the master plan is to identify the capital improvement projects needed
over the next 20 years, consistent with typical asset management practices to maintain a
healthy water infrastructure.
The Water Master Plan evaluates the water system performance and facilities for the
planning period 2015 through 2035, consistent with the City's 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan recently adopted by the City Council on June 20, 2016, subsequently
submitted for review and approval by the State Department of Water Resources. The
project includes the evaluation of City growth, water demands, water supply and
reliability, water quality, water storage, emergency water supply, energy use and
recovery, water system distribution, and most importantly capital improvement
requirements over the next 20 years.
Following the adoption of the Water Master Plan by City Council, staff will utilize
existing Water Master Plan Funds on identified projects. The next step is to prepare the
Water Financial Plan with a recommendation to replenish/re-instate the Water Master
Plan Fund for on-going improvement efforts. The Water Financial Plan evaluates the
total 20 year projected costs, scheduling and funding of projects remaining to be paid for
in the City's Water Master Plan Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Water
Financial Plan will also evaluate the scenario whereby the potential desalination project is
implemented and this source of supply becomes available to the City and other agencies
in the area.
ES.2 City Characteristics and Projected Growth
Land use for buildout of the area within the City of Huntington Beach water service area
boundaries, which includes the community of Sunset Beach, is consistent with the City's
current General Plan. The City completed the 2014 Existing Land Use Technical Report,
but it has not yet been adopted by the City Council. This report includes statistics on
existing land use and can be found at http://www.hbthenextwave.org/wp-
content/uploads/Revised-Land-Use-121814.pdf.
The City's population is projected to increase 4.4% from 198,429 in 2015 to 207,182 in
2040. Historical and projected water service area population for the City's 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP) and this master plan was based on the Center for
Demographic Research(CDR) at California State University Fullerton 2015 data adjusted
for the Downtown and Beach and Edinger Areas.
PSOMAS ES-1 October 2016
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
ES.3 Water Demand
City water demand has decreased over the past decade even though development has
occurred and the City's population has increased during this time. City potable water
supply for the 10 water years 2005/06 through 2014/2015 averaged 30,520 acre-feet per
year (AFY). Note that a water year is July through June, whereas the City's fiscal year
runs October through September. Based on the City's 2005 Water Master Plan,
unaccounted-for water, which is the difference between water supply and water
consumption, averaged 6.4%. During the six year period from 2009/10 to 2014/15,
unaccounted-for water has averaged 5.6%. In 1995/96 unaccounted-for water was 9.9%
and has been reduced due to a leak detection survey and comprehensive program of water
main replacements undertaken by the City. The current rate of unaccounted-for water is
commendable for a system the size, age, and complexity of the City's.
Existing Water Demand
Per the 2015 UWMP, 2014/15 demand, including unaccounted-for water, was determined
to represent average water demand at 27,996 AFY (25.0 million gallons per day (MGD))
or 17,360 gallons per minute (gpm).
Projected Water Demand
For projecting future average water use in the 2015 UWMP, development and population
projections were from the 2015 data by the CDR. Using these projections, the 2040 water
demand is projected to be 30,396 AFY or approximately 30.9 MGD, 8.6% higher than
the assumed 2015 normal year demand of 27,996 AFY. This increased water demand
equates to an annual water demand growth of approximately 0.33% per year,
compounded annually.
Maximum Day Demand (MDD) is the highest daily demand over the year and is
important in water master planning in that an agency must have an adequate supply
capacity to meet this MDD from supply sources. Demands above the MDD including
peak hour demands and fire flows are met from storage facilities such as reservoirs. The
City's MDD is generated using a factor of 1.8 times the average annual demand based on
analysis of existing historical use patterns.
ESA Water Supply and Reliability
City water supply has historically come from groundwater production and from
supplemental, treated, imported water purchased from Municipal Water District of
Orange County (MWDOC), which is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California(MWD).
As a member agency of Orange County Water District (OCWD), the City is entitled to
produce groundwater from the Basin. The Basin, which is managed by OCWD, is
unadjudicated. The City and other Basin producers pay a Replenishment Assessment
(RA) to OCWD for all groundwater produced up to a percentage of the producer's total
water supplies used to meet demands. This percentage is called the Basin Production
PSOMAS ES-2 October 2016
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
Percentage (BPP), which is set uniformly for all producers annually by OCWD based on
Basin conditions and long-term projections.
For FY 2016/17, OCWD set the BPP at 75%, and also set the Replenishment Assessment
(RA) at$402 per acre-foot.
In addition to the RA, OCWD charges a Basin Equity Assessment (BEA) for pumping in
excess of the BPP, which is basically a penalty to help maintain the Basin at projected
levels. The BEA, which is set at a rate of$548 per acre-foot for FY 2016/17, essentially
equates the cost of groundwater pumped over and above the BPP to the rate charged for
imported water from MWDOC. The BEA rate will vary slightly between member
agencies of OCWD, as the rate is adjusted based on each member agency's groundwater
pumping costs.
It benefits the City to use groundwater up to the maximum allowable BPP because
groundwater is less expensive and more reliable than imported water. The City
supplements groundwater with treated, imported water from MWDOC at the 2016/17 rate
of$961/acre-foot exclusive of connection charges, readiness to serve charges, and other
fixed fees, while the groundwater rate for 2016/17 is only $402/acre-foot. Both imported
water and groundwater rates shown above are costs to purchase water, and does not
including any operating expense such as energy, chemical, well maintenance and other
costs to maintain production facilities (i.e. OCWD's FY 2016/17 estimate of energy cost
to extract water from the ground is $76/acre-foot for Huntington Beach).
The City's water supply has averaged 67% groundwater pumped and 33% imported
water purchases over the recent six year period (2009/10 to 2014/15). It should be noted,
however, that the City participates in the In-Lieu or Cyclic Storage Program offered by
OCWD and MWD, when available. This is a groundwater program that refills the Basin
by avoiding pumping from the Basin, and is usually offered in the wetter years and in the
lower demand period of October through April. In addition, OCWD also periodically
offers the City water through the Coastal Pumping Transfer Program (CPTP), similar to
the In-Lieu program.
The City has a current well supply capacity of approximately 25,300 gpm from eight
existing wells. However, the normal operating capacity of these existing wells is
approximately 16,600 gpm or 66% of total design capacity. The reason the normal
operating capacity is less than total design capacity is that some of these wells are not
operated at 100% of capacity in consideration of such factors as groundwater level, water
quality, availability of in-lieu water, etc. Additionally, the life of the wells and associated
supply equipment can be prolonged when operating at less than full capacity. However,
current maximum operating capacity is nearing the desirable normal operating threshold,
and therefore provides little redundancy for well failures.
The City is fortunate to overly the Orange County Groundwater Basin (Basin), which has
been able to sustain BPPs from the mid-60s to 70 percent throughout past years. During
preparation of the City's 2015 UWMP, Orange County Water District who manages the
Basin conservatively projected that a BPP of 75 percent could be maintained throughout
the next twenty-plus years. This means that the City can reasonably count on at least 75
PSOMAS ES-3 October 2016
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
percent of its projected demands being met by local groundwater produced from City
wells overlying the Basin.
An analysis of the City's current wells' ability to meet a BPP of 75% in 2015 and 2035
(through the 20-year planning period) was conducted using normal operating capacities
of the wells and historical demand patterns by month and the result is that without
running the wells beyond the normal operating capacity for long periods of time in the
summer months there could be reliability issues if one or more wells are down for any
reason. If this occurred, the City could still meet these maximum monthly demands by
utilizing additional quantities of imported water and could potentially still catch up to the
BPP by pumping more in the winter months, but this will have a significant financial
impact to the City. However, it is recommended that a well study be conducted to analyze
this in more detail as well as evaluate the condition of all existing wells and their
remaining useful life, potential water quality issues that could relate to high chloride
levels in the vicinity of three of the City's wells near the Peck/Springdale Reservoir
complex, and the potential need for replacement wells or new wells at new sites in the
future.
Illustrated on Figure ES-1 below, a total of 15 wells have been drilled since 1956, of
which eight currently are still active, with seven being either inactive or destroyed. The
average age of active wells compared to inactive wells is 36 years versus 30 years.
Therefore, active wells have been operating, on average, 6 years beyond those that have
failed. This is an important indicator that the City's operating water wells are nearing
their useful lives and planning for future replacement is necessary and inevitable.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
The above findings indicate a high risk of a multi-year financial impact resulting from
being unable to meet the BPP, especially in a scenario of sudden loss of a water well.
This is compounded by the fact that it would take between 3 to 4 years to design and
construct a new replacement well (or longer if land for a new well site must first be
acquired). The financial impact would be the result of having to purchase a much costly
imported water supply, as that can add an unanticipated operating cost of around $2.4
million if prolonged for one year, or nearly $10 million over the 4 years it could take to
design and construct a new well. In other words, failure to meet BPP for 4 years is
equivalent to the design and construction cost of two new wells. For details on this
analysis, see Section 3.3.9.
It is recommended that a well study be conducted to analyze this in more detail as well as
evaluate the condition of all existing wells and their remaining useful life, potential water
quality issues that could relate to high chloride levels in the vicinity of three of the City's
wells near the Peck/Springdale Reservoir complex, and the potential need for
replacement wells or new wells at new sites in the future.
With the potential addition of the proposed seawater desalination plant at the AES
Huntington Beach Generating Station property and the ability of the City to draw supply
from this source, the overall water supply reliability of the City would be enhanced.
However, this will not increase City's ability to draw groundwater from the Basin, which
appears to be a potential future need. However, based on the City's 2015 UWMP and this
water master plan update, the City's existing water supply sources are deemed adequate
and reliable into the future to at least 2035, even without considering the potential
desalination project.
Water Quality
The City's water supply, made up of groundwater and imported treated surface water,
consistently meets or exceeds all State and federal potable water quality standards.
Recently adopted and proposed federal and State water quality regulations on the horizon
including a new lower maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic, an upgraded rule
for groundwater disinfection, a MCL for radon, new monitoring requirements for
disinfectant byproducts, and a MCL for hexavalent chromium are not expected to affect
the City's ability to meet future water quality standards based on historic water quality
parameters of the City's supply sources and the City's current disinfection procedures.
However, the City will need to monitor proposed radon regulation with regard to which
radon mitigation program the State opts to follow.
ES.5 Facilities and Operation
The City's existing potable water system facilities and pipelines are shown on Figure 4-1.
The City's existing storage system consists of four reservoirs (Overmyer, Peck,
Springdale and Edwards Hill), all located in the lower pressure zone (Zone 1), with a
combined storage capacity of 55.0 million gallons (MG). The Peck and Springdale
reservoirs are located at the same site. Booster stations are located at the three reservoir
sites to pump water from the reservoirs into the distribution system.
PSOMAS ES-5 October 2016
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
The City's service area is composed of two pressure zones: Zone 1 and Zone 2. Ground
elevations in Zone I vary between 5 feet below and 80 feet above sea level. The
Overmyer, Peck and Edwards Hill booster pump stations boost water from their
respective reservoirs into the Zone 1 distribution system. Zone 2 is the 800 acre Reservoir
Hill area that rises to an elevation of 109 feet. The Reservoir Hill Booster Pump Station,
which is located at the Overmyer site, boosts water from Zone 1 into Zone 2. The
Edwards Hill Booster Pump Station also has Zone 2 pumps. Neither of the Zone 2
booster pump stations have a direct connection to pump from a storage reservoir.
In addition to the four booster pump stations, the City's existing potable water
distribution system includes eight currently active well facilities that pump directly into
the distribution system (with the exception that Well 4 pumps directly into Peck
Reservoir); three imported water service connections; four emergency water connections
with neighboring public water systems; and 631 miles of transmission and distribution
piping ranging in size from 4 inches to 42 inches in diameter.
ES.6 Storage and Emergency Supply
The City currently has 55.0 MG of storage capacity located at the Overmyer, Peck,
Springdale and Edwards Hill reservoirs. Booster Stations are located at the Overmyer,
Peck/Springdale, and Edwards Hill sites to pump water from the reservoirs into the Zone
1 distribution system at appropriate pressures. The Reservoir Hill Booster Pump Station,
which is located at the Overmyer site, boosts water from Zone 1 into Zone 2. Zone 2 does
not have the capability to directly pump from a storage reservoir. In addition to pumping
to Zone 1,the Edwards Hill Booster Pump Station also boosts water into Zone 2.
As recommended in the City's last three water master plans, a 10 MG storage reservoir,
the Southeast Reservoir, and an 11,000 gpm booster pump station are proposed in the
southeast quadrant of the City at the AES property to ensure water supply reliability and
storage for the area south of the Newport-Inglewood Fault and south of Bolsa Chica.
Currently there are no storage reservoirs or supply sources located south of the fault and
an earthquake on this fault could potentially sever water transmission and distribution
pipelines crossing the fault leaving the southern portion of the City without potable water.
With construction of this Southeast Reservoir and Booster Pump Station, the City will
have 65.0 MG of storage capacity. Along with the potential construction of the
desalination plant, this project will also include the construction of a reservoir and
booster pumping station on the AES site, which could provide the needed reliability south
of the fault and allay the requirement for the City to construct these facilities.
The City's existing storage volume is more than adequate for all operational and the
highest fire flow demand requirements in either of the two pressure zones. Emergency
storage is calculated after required operational and fire flow volumes are depleted. Using
this methodology, the City has 1.5 days of emergency storage volume at existing
demands. With the addition of the 10.0 MG Southeast Reservoir, the City would have 1.9
days of existing demand in storage. These emergency storage volumes place the City
approximately in the middle of 25 water agencies surveyed as shown on Table 5-3.
PSOMAS ES-6 October 2016
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
Backup water supply can augment storage during certain specific emergency water
supply scenarios. In this regard, several different emergency storage/supply scenarios
were evaluated including a complete loss of the City's imported water supply coupled
with a 7-day electrical power outage.
Likely causes for an imported water outage or reduction in supply could be a break in an
imported water transmission main or mains or an outage at a water treatment plant caused
by an earthquake or other event. It was determined that the City has sufficient emergency
storage, groundwater supply, and emergency power to withstand an imported water
outage of 30 days or longer coupled with an electric power outage lasting the first 7 days
of this emergency scenario.
Another possible emergency scenario is a complete loss or reduction in the City's
groundwater supply from the Orange County Groundwater Basin, conceivably as a result
of Basin groundwater contamination. It was determined that the City has sufficient
emergency storage and imported water supply capacity to withstand this emergency
scenario as well.
ES.7 Water Transmission and Distribution System Modeling
In the 2012 Water Master Plan Update, the hydraulic model provided by the City staff
was validated, and updated with analysis of projected future 2035 demand conditions.
However, since the last master plan update, annual demands have actually decreased with
population increase,primarily due to a steady trend of water reduction through aggressive
water conservative efforts. Therefore, no updates were made to this Chapter 6 from the
2012 Water Master Plan. The projected future 2035 demand from the 2012 Water Master
Plan was 34,657 AFY, while the 2015 UWMP is projecting future 2040 demand at
30,396 AFY. In addition, no major physical pipeline or supply improvements have been
made since 2012, and any proposed improvements from "New Projects" listed in Table 7-
3 would certainly further enhance the water system hydraulically. In the future, as major
improvements are constructed, the City's water engineering team will update the model
accordingly.
The City's existing hydraulic network model was originally created by the City in 1998
to analyze the City water transmission and distribution system performance. This model
has been updated and refined over the years. In the 2012 Water Master Plan, the latest
model was provided by City staff at the outset of the project. The model is in WaterCAD
format and is compatible with Water GEMS modeling software by Bentley Systems. The
model is used routinely by City staff and contains numerous scenarios. It contains all
pipes in the existing water distribution system, and several demand allocations including
those representing existing and estimated future demand conditions for average day,
maximum day, and peak hour demands.
Existing demands were first revised to correspond to the reduced demands experienced
over the past few years, as consistent with the City's 2010 UWMP. Then a series of
validation analyses were conducted to verify that the model adequately simulated
observed operating conditions within the distribution system.

Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
Hydraulic analyses conducted for this project used the existing system model to create a
series of extended period simulation (EPS) analyses using a representative typical week
of diurnal curves from June 2007. These demand curves were then uniformly increased to
reflect conditions that could be expected during a week of maximum demand. Hydraulic
analyses were conducted under existing and future year 2035 demand conditions. These
hydraulic analyses were then used to confirm or develop sizing on capital improvements
and develop system optimization recommendations.
ES.8 Capital Improvement Program
A financing plan was adopted in 1995 to pay for water system project improvements
identified in that master plan as well as projects remaining from the 1988 Water Master
Plan. The water master plan capital improvement program was last updated through the
2012 Water Master Plan and this plan updates those capital projects based on current and
projected system demands, more refined modeling techniques, potential alternative
capital projects to the Southeast Reservoir and Booster Station project, the status of the
original recommended capital improvement program, and updated cost information.
Remaining Water Master Plan Projects
Water master plan projects that remain to be constructed from the 2012 Water Master
Plan are listed below in Table ES-1, identified by their project numbering from previous
1995, 2000, 2005, and 2012 water master plans. Projects for which money has been
encumbered prior to May 30, 2012 are not included as a remaining master plan project
and those encumbered funds are therefore not included as available.
The estimated costs for the remaining seven (7) capital projects described above, in 2016
dollars, are summarized along with their year of anticipated design and construction on
Table ES-1. Projects already complete or with funds encumbered prior to March 31, 2016
are not listed.
New Water Master Plan Projects
Thirty Seven (37) new Water Master Plan projects and annual programs have been
identified below, numbered from No. 21 to No. 57. These new projects and remaining
projects above will all be funded by available Water Master Plan funds, and will be
prioritized and implemented in a reasonable manner in accordance with need and funding
ability.
The estimated costs for the new capital projects described below, in November 2015
dollars, are summarized along with their year of anticipated design and construction on
Table ES-2. This preliminary design and construction phasing can be adjusted as needed
following the financial plan analysis.

Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
Improvement Projects Categorized Into 6 Programs
All 44 remaining and new improvement projects and programs identified and described
above are divided into 6 Capital Improvement Water Programs with recommended
phasing over the next 20 years and an estimated uninflated total cost of$128.2 million.
They are as follows:
• Water System Corrosion Control - 3 Projects/Programs- $8.7 Million
• Water Distribution System Improvements - 7 Projects/Programs- $19.2 Million
• Water Main Replacements - 10 Projects/Programs- $38.7 Million
• Water Production System Improvements - 14 Projects/Programs - $59.2 Million
• Water Facilities Security Improvements - 7 Projects/Programs- $1.9 Million
• Water Engineering Studies -3 Studies/Programs- $550,000
Recommendations for Additional Studies
Section 3.3.9 of this Water Master Plan recommends a future extensive well study,
Groundwater Master Plan, to assess the condition of each of the City's existing wells,
determine their remaining useful life, and develop a systematic approach to replacement
of wells in their same general location and/or the addition of new wells at future
locations.
ES.9 Asset Management — Twenty Year and Immediate Needs
An essential component of a Water Master Plan is an Asset Management approach to
maintain a long-term, reliable water infrastructure system to service the City's customers.
Water is a valuable resource and requires a complex water infrastructure system to
supply, store, and distribute it at adequate pressure to meet daily water demands and fire
protection requirements.
As shown in Table 4-13, it would cost over $1.4 billion to construct the City's water
system at today's cost. Since various components of the water infrastructure system will
have a limited useful life, it is vital for the City to invest in on-going annual maintenance
and capital improvement rehabilitation and replacement programs for long-term
sustainability of a reliable water infrastructure system.
Twenty Year Capital Improvement Needs
A priority list that combines Tables 7-2 and 7-3 (Tables ES-1 and ES-2) identifies 44
capital improvement project needs/programs over the next 20 years. Total cost in today's
dollars is estimated at $128.2 million. This equates to approximately 9% of the estimated
replacement cost of the water system (in today's dollars) to be invested over the next 20
years, or around 0.5% annually. From the perspective of typical asset management,
expending only 0.5% annually on a water system capital rehabilitation and replacement
program is considered to be extremely efficient.
City staff is separately preparing the 2016 Financial Plan Update, to evaluate various
funding options to meet the long-term needs identified in this water master plan update.

Water Master Plan Update Executive Summary
Immediate Capital Improvement Needs
Table ES-3 below is a list of 14 high priority capital improvement projects and programs
that have been identified for FY 2016/17. Upon adoption of the 2016 Water Master Plan
by City Council, City staff would be able to utilize existing funds from the Water Master
Plan Fund balance of approximately $28.1 million (as of October 1, 2016) toward these
projects that total $6.6 million. A healthy fund balance of$21.5 million will still remain
after allocating a portion of the Water Master Plan Fund to construct these 14 high
priority projects. Although the current fund balance does not meet the financial needs
over next 20 years, having this fund balance of$28.1 million will immediately sustain the
design and construction of priority water infrastructure and provide staff with valuable
time to complete the Financial Study. It will also provide City Council with the time to
evaluate the financial options from the draft Financial Plan, once completed.
