Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Ar =
Statement of Issue: Pesolution 5892, effective August 17,198� adjusted water rates relating to
several di erent types of water service including private fire service rates. The effective date
for adjusting private fire service rates, (Huntington Peach Municipal Code section 14.12.070)
needs to be changed.
Recommendations: Approve an effective date of January 1, 1989 for increased fire service
ra es descri ed in section 14.12.070 of Municipal Code.
Analysis: Fire service water billings are processed twice each year as a six month billing. The
ifi ►for the second half of 1988 (July - December) was prepared at the old rate of $1.00 per
inch (service size) per month. This billing was approximately $50,000 (total) less than required
by Resolution 5892 which increased the rate to $5 per inch effective August 17, 1988. The fire
service billing for the first half of 1989 (January - June) was prepared at the new rate of $5.00
per inch per month.
The approximately 575 private fire service commercial customers were not retroactively billed
at the higher rates for their billing for the second half of 1988. We are now proposing to
amend the effective date of the rate increase so that these customers do not receive a
retroactive billing.
Private Fire service charges are for the water connection and availability of water for sprinkler
systems and other fire protection/suppression systems. The basis of charging for this service is
the size of service used by the customer.
Funding Source: Approval would mean an estimated $50,000 of fire service charges will not be
billed retroactively for the period August 17, 1988 through December 31, 1988.
r,r c

Alternative Actions: Bill the new higher rates retroactively to the originally�pp�oved
effective date of August 17, 1988.

INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
HUNTINGTON BEACH
To PAUL E. COOK From ROBER.T J. FR.ANZ
City Administrator Deputy City Administrator
Subject FIRE SERVICE RATES Date SEPTEMBER 13, 1989
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
At the agenda review meeting of September 11, 1989, Mayor Bannister requested additional
information regarding the staffs request to change the effective date of the new. fire
service billing rates. These charges are for private sprinkler systems and other fire service
systems. The charge for the service is based on the size of service required by the
customers fire system. Prior to August 17, 1988, the charge for the service was $1 per inch
(size of service) per month. Customers are billed twice per year, each bill for 6 months
service.
The above described charges and billing system have been in existence for at least twenty
years. The rates have never been changed during that twenty year period of time. The
Public Works Department requested a rate increase from $1 to $5 per inch per month as a
part of their review of water service rates and charges in mid-1988. Council approved the
changes which were effective August 17, 1988.
When staff of the water division advised the data processing operation to modify the billing
(by memorandum dated November 1,,.1988).a .discussion began about the old billing system
and the need to consolidate the fire service billing system into the automated water billing
system. It was agreed that this change needed to be made, but in the meantime, the bills
for the second half of 1988 had already been mailed to customers at the old rate of $1 per
inch. This was corrected for the next billing (first half of 1.989), and there were again
numerous discussions water, accounting and data processing on how to handle the
retroactive billing for August 17, 1988 through December 31, 1988.
Finally, because of the long delays in determining the procedure to follow, it was decided to
not send out retroactive billings for 1988, but instead to recommend to the City Council
that the effective date of the new rates be changed to January 1, 1989. In this way the
explanation to customers regarding the increased charges can be limited to explaining the
reason for the increase instead of also having to explain the need for a retroactive billing.
The difference between the amount actually billed for the period August 17, 1988 through
December 31, 1988 and the new rates is approximately $50,000.
Hopefully the above will provide Mayor Bannister with the additional information requested.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Department of Water Resources and the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California have asked all water agencies to
adopt a drought management program, emphasizing voluntary
conservation. By complying with the request the City will
encourage public awareness of the drought and water conservation.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution # supporting water conservation
measures.
ANALYSIS
California is in it' s second critically dry year. If rainfall
continues below normal next year, mandatory cutbacks are possible
for both agricultural and urban water allotments . Huntington
Beach could experience a shortage of imported water supplies.
The voluntary conservation measures are practices which will not
have a drastic impact on consumers. Since half of all water used
is outdoors, adjusting timers, sprinklers, and watering hours,
. can decrease water -use significantly. The City could reduce
water use and set an example by adapting the. practices set forth
in the resolution.
FUNDING SOURCE
Not applicable. Conservation practices could reduce Water
Division revenue by 15%. Purchased water expense may be lowered.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ESTABLISHING POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES IN SUPPORT OF WATER CONSERVATION
WHEREAS , precipitation for the current year has been
substantially below normal , particularly in the watersheds of
the imported water supplies serving Southern California,
therefore the California Department- of Water Resources has .. .
declared 1988 to be a critically dry year , and many
communities in the state will suffer water shortages; and
A drought management program is essential to reduce the
risk and severity of water shortages should the drought
continue into 1989; and

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The water division of the Public Works Department has been working with the Carrey
Water District to supply city water service to the subject area. The existing water
well, of which the Carrey Water District has been utilizing to supply residents with
water, has recently been found to have an unacceptable level of contaminants. The
Housing and Redevelopment division of Community Development has identified
available Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under the local option
account to finance the construction of new city water service to residents of the
Carrey Water District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the use of CDBG funds for the identified project and instruct Housing and
Redevelopment staff to transfer funds in the amount of $30,000. from contingency
account number 894877 into a new Carrey Water District account.
ANALYSIS:
The Carrey Water District is located in one of the original Neighborhood Enhancement
Project Areas adopted by the City Council in 1982. The district is also located in an
area with a low and moderate income population which qualifies this project for CDBG
funds.
The Carrey Water District has been ordered by the County of Orange to stop all
operations of the well due to contaminants found in the water supply. The district has
been working with the water division of the City of Huntington Beach to find
alternatives to the existing well service. The water division will connect all residents
receiving service from the Carrey Water District to the city water system. This plan
offers water lines to be placed to the property line at which point individual owners will
be responsible for connecting to the service line at their own expense. The $30,000 cost
is based on an estimate completed by the City Water Division.
The project will also include securing a Quit Claim Deed from the owners of the well
site located on Ronald Road. The Quit Claim Deed will transfer the title of this parcel
to the City of Huntington Beach. The owners of the well are also responsible for
abandonment of the. well, which will allow for a "buildable" lot which will be owned
exclusively by the City. /

7!LA,Me CITY OF HUHTIHGTOH BEACH
Leo" INTER-DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
HUNTINGTON BEACH
To Rich Barnard From Jeffr . Renna
Asst. To City Administrator Water perintendent
Subject REQUEST BY MWDOC TO ADDRESS Date July 8, 1988
CITY COUNCIL
You are probably aware that the State of California, as well as
much of the nation, is experiencing a drought. Northern
California is feeling its effect more than Southern California,
mainly due to the existence of the Colorado River Aqueduct and
adequate water availability in the Colorado River to Southern
California. Nonetheless, we all recognize that we are all in the
same general boat.
As such, our imported water wholesaler, Municipal Water District
of Orange County (MWDOC) , has begun promoting wise water use as
well as encouraging its members (such as ourselves) to do
likewise. As part of their effort, they have requested that
H. E. "Bill" Hartge, MWDOC Board President and Huntington Beach
area representative, address our City Council on this issue at
its meeting of July 18. The time for his short presentation
would be on the order of 2-3 minutes. MWDOC feels that this
meeting date provides the best timing for such a presentation.
Unless you see a problem with this request, would you please take
whatever action is necessary to accommodate it? I 've already
touched base with Les Evans and he sees no problems. I 've also
arranged with Connie Brockway to hold a space on the Council
agenda for the presentation.
Please advise me if we are unable to accommodate MWDOC' s request.
I 'm handling the communications with them.

Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions,Attachments:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Section 14.12.045 of the Municipal Code requires the annual budget submittal for the
Water Division to be balanced with revenue. The current water rates.will not generate.
sufficient revenue to meet our service objectives for the 1988/89 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt the attached ordinance and resolution modifying Sections 14.12.040, 14.12.050 and
14.12.070 of the Municipal Code and adjusting the water rates.
ANALYSIS:
The objective of the Water Division is to provide an adequate supply of water to'
o meet
current, projected and emergency needs. The funding source for division operations is
consumer paid water rates.
In fiscal 1987/88, our expenditures are expected to exceed our revenues. The difference
will be made up by use of our reserve funds. This has been the case for the last few years.
These reserves are now exhausted. In order to maintain-our current level of service, it
will be necessary to increase the water rates.
This is feasible because (a) the proposed increases are moderate and (b) the city has and
will retain one of the lowest water rate schedules in the area. The needed revisions are as'
follows:
1. Eliminate the current minimum consumption currently allowed for each meter size
and increase the rate for each 100 cubic feet from $0.56 to $.062.
2. Establish the rate for all metered construction water at double the domestic service
rate.
3. Establish a basic charge for hydrant meter service at $60.00 per month wth no
consumption allowance.
4. Define temporary connections to be housing tracts and subdivisions without
permanent metered services and charge such projects $12.00 per unit per month for
water service. =

Water Rate Modification

5. Change monthly rates for private fire service protection to the following flat rates:
Size of Service Monthly Rate
2 inch or less $10.00
3 inch 15.00
4 inch 20.00
6 inch 30.00
8 inch 40.00
10 inch 50.00
12 inch 60.00
The benefits of this rate revision will provide the necessary increased revenue needed for
continued water service operations while affecting consumer's equitably. Each consumer
will pay for the actual amount of water used. This practice should also encourage less
water waste.
At the request of the City Clerk, we are also proposing the modification of Sections
14.12.040, 14.12.050 and 14.12.070 of the Municipal Code as they pertain to water rates.
Said sections are archaic and in conflict with current practice.

ment action against the discharger for bypass unless:
(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or
severe property damage. (Severe property damage means substantial
physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities that
causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss
of natural resources that can reasonably be expected to occur in
the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean eco-
nomic loss caused by delays in production. );
-9-
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of
auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated waste, or
maintenance during normal periods of equipment down time. This con-
dition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have
been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment
to prevent a bypass that could occur during normal periods of equip-
ment down time or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The discharger submitted a notice at least ten days in advance of
the need for a bypass to the appropriate Regional Board.
The discharger may allow a bypass to occur that does not cause effluent
limitations to be exceeded, but only if it is for essential maintenance
to assure efficient operation. In such a case, the above bypass con-
ditions are not applicable. The discharger shall promptly notify the
Regional Board and the EPA within 24 hours of each such bypass.
19. "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional
and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations because of
factors beyond the reasonable control of the discharger. An upset does
not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,
improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facili-
ties, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or ,improper action. A
discharger that wishes to establish the affirmative defense of an upset
in an action brought for noncompliance shall demonstrate, through pro-
perly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence
that:
(a) an upset occurred and that the discharger can identify the cause(s)
of the upset;
(b) the permitted facility was being properly operated at the time of
the upset;
(c) the discharger submitted notice of the upset as required in General
Reporting Provision D.8;
(d) the discharger complied with any remedial measures required under
General Provision A. 15.
No determination made before an action for noncompliance, such as during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by an
.upset, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
In any. enforcement proceeding, the discharger seeking to establish the
occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof.

,20. Safeguard to electric power failure:
a. The discharger shall maintain in good working order a sufficient
alternate power source for operating the wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities. All equipment shall be located to minimize
failure due to moisture, liquid spray, flooding, and other physical
phenomena. The alternate power source shall. be designed to permit
inspection and maintenance and shall have provision for periodic
testing.
b. If such alternate power source is not in existence, the discharger
shall halt, reduce, other otherwise control -all discharges upon the
reduction, loss, or failure .of the primary source o.f power.
-11-
21. The discharger's wastewater treatment plant shall be supervised and
operated by persons possessing certificates of appropriate grade pur-
suant to Chapter 3, Subchapter 14, Title 23, California Administrative
Code.
22. Solids, sludges, filter backwash, and other pollutants removed in the
treatment or control of wastewater shall be disposed of in the manner
approved by the Executive Officer of the Regional Board.
23. The discharge of any radiological, chemical, or biological. warfare agent
or high level radiological waste is prohibited.
24. The following wastes shall not be introduced into the treatment works:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment
works;
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment
works, but, in no case, wastes with a pH lower than 5.0 unless the
works are designed to accommodate such wastes;
c. Solid or viscous wastes in amounts which would cause obstruction to
the flow in sewers or otherwise interfere with the proper operation
of the treatment works; or
d. Wastes at a flow. rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so that there is a
treatment process upset and subsequent loss of treatment efficiency.
25. The discharger shall . ensure compliance with any existing or future
pretreatment standard promulgated by EPA under ..Section 307 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act or amendments thereto for any
discharge to the municipal system.
26. The discharger shall require each user to submit periodic notice (over
intervals not to exceed nine months) of progress toward compliance with
applicable toxic and pretreatment standards developed pursuant to the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act or amendments thereto. The
discharger shall forward a copy of such notice to the Board and the
Regional Administrator.
B. Provisions for Monitoring

E. Definitions
1. The daily mass emission rate is obtained from the following calcula-
tion for any calendar day:
N
Daily mass. emission rate (lbs/day) _ 8N34 E Qi Ci
i=1
378 N
.
Daily mass emission rate (kg/day) = E Qi Ci
N i=1
in which N is the number of samples analyzed in any calendar day.
Qi and Ci are the flow rate (MGD) and the constituent concentration
(mg/1) respectively, which are associated with each of the N grab
samples which may be taken in any calendar day. .
-lII-
If a composite sample is taken, Ci is the concentration measured
in the composite sample and Qi is the average flow rate occurring
during the period over which samples are composited.
The daily concentration of. all constituents shall be determined
from the flow-weighted average of the same constituents in the
combined waste streams -as follows:
1 N
Daily concentration Qt E Qi Ci
i=1
in which N is the number of component waste streams. Qi and Ci are
the flow rate (MGD) and the constituentconcentration (mg/1), respective-
ly, which are associated with each of the N waste streams. Qt is the
total flow rate of the combined waste streams.
2. The "30-day, or 7-day, average" mass emission rate is the total mass
emission rates by weight during a 30, or 7, consecutive calendar day
period, respectively, divided by the number of days. in the period that
the facility was discharging. Where less than daily sampling is
required by this permit., the 307day, or 7-day, average discharge shall
be determined by the summation of all the measured mass emission rates
by weight divided by the number of days during the 30, or 7, con-
secutive calendar day period when the measurements were made.
For other than 7-day or 30-day periods, compliance shall be based upon
the average of all measurements made during the specified period.
3. The "daily maximum" discharge means the total discharge by weight
during any calendar day.
4. The "30-day, or 7-day, average" concentration, other than for fecal or
total coliform bacteria, is the arithmetic mean of measurements made
during a 30, or 7, consecutive calendar day period, respectively. The
"30-day, or 7-day, average" concentration for fecal .or total coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of measurements made during a 30, or 7,
consecutive calendar day period, respectively. The geometric mean is
the nth root of the product of n numbers.
5. The "maximum daily!' concentration is defined as the measurement made
on any single grab sample or composite sample.
6. A "grab" sample is defined as any individual sample collected in
less than 15 minutes. .
7. A composite sample is defined as a combination of no fewer than eight
individual samples obtained over the specified sampling period. The
volume of each individual sample shall be proportional to the
discharge flow rate at the time of sampling. The compositing period
shall equal the specific sampling period, or 24 hours, if no period is
specified.
