W.OWEN MARY E.JOHN SON NOBLE J.WAITE ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT District Secretary January 17, 1991 TO: All Operators or Owners Of Water Producing Facilities within the Orange County Water District (See Attached List) Due to the serious continuing drought, the Board will hold a Public Hearing on January 30, 1991 at 8:00 a.m. to be held at 10500 Ellis Avenue in Fountain Valley to consider modification of the basin production requirements and limitations, and the Basin Equity Assessment (BEA). The enclosed notice shows the modifications that are expected to be made. The modifications to the basin percentages and the basin- equity assessments are being made to be compatible with the Incremental Interruptible/Conservation Program that has been adopted by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The MWD program provides for a $99/AF rebate if the imported water use is reduced beyond a certain level, and provides for a surcharge penalty of $394/A-F if overuse of imported water occurs. The basin percentage is being raised to allow greater use of the basin, and the BEA is being increased for most producers for pumping beyond the new higher basin production percentage. Pursuant to the requirements of State Law and Provisions of the Orange County Water District Act, you are hereby notified of the changes in the basin production percentages and the BEA to be effective for the period February 1, 1991 to June 30, 1991.

[X1 Yes [ 1 New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE A Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) pricing program allows a savings of $5 per acre foot on water, if the funds are placed in a specific account to be used for water conservation programs. A resolution stating this commitment is required to participate in the program. RECOMMENDATION Approve and adopt Resolution No. G y Z stating our commitment to place specified savings from Seasonal Storage Service into a special account. r ANALYSIS MWD is encouraging all member agencies to conserve water. The Seasonal Storage Service (SSS) is a program in which imported water is taken during the off peak months, and groundwater is utilized during peak months. In an effort to provide funding for local agency water conservation and storage programs, MWD is reducing water costs by $5 per acre foot if participants agree to place the savings in a special account in the City' s water budget. With careful planning in 1989, the Water Division was able to store over 10,000 acre feet during the SSS program. The savings credit program has only been offered for water stored since July 1990. We anticipate storing 7,500 to 10,000 acre feet through January when the SSS program is scheduled to end. V PIO 5/85 Request for Council Action Conservation Account November 19, 1990 Page 2 Savings credits for Huntington Beach of approximately $15, 000 have been earned since July 1990. These amounts are being held by MWDOC and MCWD, until a resolution is submitted. The credit will be determined from the purchased water billing records. No checks will be issued, but the amount of the credit will be transferred from the budgeted purchased water account to / the new conservation account. l The Water Division does not have money budgeted for a water conservation program. Funds will be used to purchase materials for public education programs. The savings account will permit a conservation program to be implemented at no additional cost to the rate payers . FUNDING SOURCE Not Applicable. The savings amount will be used to fund the conservation program in the 1991-92 budget. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Do not adopt the resolution, and permit MWDOC:, WOCWB and MCWD to utilize Huntington Beach' s funds for their own programs. Do not adopt the resolution, and request to pay the additional $5 per acre foot for water to WOCWB and MWDOC. Do not adopt the resolution, and direct staff on how to proceed.

V1 Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception CS Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE The 1990 State Water Reclamation Bond Issue requires additional funding to complete identified projects. AB 1312, if approved by the voters, will provide $200 million for the program. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution #.4/0�- in support of AB 1312, and transmit the resolution to appropriate Assembly members. ANALYSIS Reclaimed water is the most significant source of additional water supply for Southern California. Within Orange County, three such projects have been identified for construction over the next 10 to 15 years. The estimated cost for these projects is $217,600 , 000 . Additional water reclamation projects across the state have also been identified to have a financial need of $1 . 97 billion. Through various means about $130 million of these projects have been funded. This leaves an unmet demand of over $1 .8 billion for water reclamation projects. Assembly Bill (AB) 1312 has been proposed to set a funding level of $200 million, if approved by the voters. The likely method of financing will be long term, low interest loans. However, competing funding interests threaten to preclude AB 1312 from consideration by the Assembly in January. Huntington Beach' s support of AB 1312 has been requested by both Orange County Santation District and local water agencies. As Huntington Beach will be a beneficiary of local reclaimed water projects, support of the bill is appropriate. � n PI O 5/85 Request for Council Action January 22, 1990 Page 2 FUNDING SOURCE Not applicable.
