The City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (City) has provided
reliable and cost-effective water service to its customers for many years.
In 1981, a water system master plan was prepared to identify necessary
water system improvements for the City's service area. A continued rapid
growth in the number of the City's customers, combined with expansion of
the City's service area and significant changes in available water supply,
have made it necessary to prepare this update to the 1981 Water System
Master Plan. This update looks at a planning horizon to year 2010.
SERVICE ARFA
1
The service area of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department is
bounded on the north by the San Bernardino National Forest, and on the east
by the Fast Valley Wate[ District, Norton Air Force Base, Victoria Farms
Mutual Water Company, and the South San Bernardino County Water District.
It is bounded on the south by the cities of Loma Linda and Colton and on
the west by the West San Bernardino County Water District, the City of
Rialto, and the Muscoy Mutual water Company. The service area of
approximately 95 square miles is divided into 18 pressure zones, which
range in ground elevation from approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet. For this
study, new pressure zone boundaries were defined for the 2100, 2300, and
2500 zones in the rapidly developing upper northwest portion of the service
area.
WATER DEM~INIDS
~~
L
L
The Municipal Water Department has many years of record of water production
and water use. However, because of limited information regarding time and
place of water use, representative unit water use factors by land use
category were used in order to allocate the demands geographically
throughout the pressure zones. In addition, the unit water use factors
were used with future land use information to estimate and allocate future
demands. The water demands were determined for each pressure zone as a
whole; and were then distributed throughout each zone. The total existing
E-1
CAMP DRESSER 6 McKEE INC
maxim~nm day demand in 1989-90 was approximately 61,000 gallons per minute
(gpm); while the projected future maximum day demand in year 2010 was
estimated to be approximately 93,000 gpm.
WATIIi SUPPLY
i
The City currently obtains most of its water from groundwater wells. A
small amount of surface water (approximately 800 gpm) is currently treated
at the Devil Canyon Filter Plant and used in the 1720 Zone. No State Water
Project (SWP) water has ever been used directly by the City. However, in
recent years the spreading of SWP water has placed some water into the
~'
groundwater basin, and undoubtedly a small portion of the groundwater
~. pumped by the City is SWP water.
The City is currently having to rely on its existing storage capacity and
supplemental imported SWP water through the San Bernardino Valley Municipal
Water District, in order to meet the existing maximum day demands. During
the summer, the northwest portion of the service area can marginally meet
existing maximum day demand, and does not have sufficient production
{~ capacity to meet future maximum day demand. The Upper Zone has major
{ problems for existing and future conditions due to production restrictions
on wells with trace pollutants. The Lower Zone region has some excess
production capacity under existing conditions; however, present production
levels cannot meet the projected future demand. The total future shortfall
~ in well production capacity in year 2010 is anticipated to be approximately
53.0 mgd for the entire system.
Several water supply alternatives were developed to meet the City's
` immediate and long-term needs, including: new wells; wellhead treatment to
l: remove trace organic compounds from affected wells; and surface water from
the proposed Devil Canyon Treatment Plant. A combination of the
~. alternatives was determined to be the most feasible due to the City's
immediate needs, the large projected shortfall, and the need to maintain a
reliable water supply.

EXISTING WATER SYSTD7 FACILITIES
The majority of the system's water is supplied from wells. Ffiile some of
these wells pump water directly into the distribution system, most wells
are part of a complex (referred to as plants) that consist of one or more
wells that supply water to a ground level tank. Separate high efficiency
booster pumps draw water from the ground level tank and pump it into the
distribution system.
Gravity storage is provided for every pressure zone. The City currently
has 29 water storage reservoirs in operation (89 million gallons of storage
capacity) and 2 reservoirs under design (6.5 million gallons of storage
capacity). All the reservoirs are at ground level. Some reservoirs are of
reinforced concrete construction, while the remainder are steel tanks.
Most of the City's booster pumps draw water from the well complex tanks and
pump it throughout the distribution system into the storage reservoirs.
Other booster pumps are independent of the well plants, and are located in
the distribution system itself. They are used to lift water from a low
pressure zone to a higher pressure zone, and pump directly from a pipeline
or storage reservoir.
i .-
During the summer, water is transferred from the lower zones to the higher
~ elevation zones by means of booster pumps since adequate water supply is
not available in the higher zones. During winter months, water in excess
of the local demand may be available in the high elevation zones and is
i transferred to lower zones by means of pressure reducing valves, which are
kept closed during the summer except under emergency conditions.
The City's transmission and distribution pipelines vary in diameter from 30
inches down to 4 inches. The backbone pipelines of the existing system
generally run north-south in the vicinity of Waterman Avenue and Highway
215, and east-west in the vicinity of Baseline Street.

CAMP DRESSER 6 McKEE INC.
WATIIi SYSTEM ANALYSIS
r~
i
[.~
L
t.
The water system analysis was performed with the assistance of a computer
simulation model for each pressure zone and for the system as a whole under
existing and future conditions. The computer model used for this purpose
was the Water Distribution Network Analysis Program developed by the
University of Kentucky (the Kentucky Model). Generally, pipes 8 inches and
larger in diameter were included in the pressure zone models, along with
some smaller pipes where necessary for a realistic representation of the
actual flow pattern in the water system.
A planning level model was developed of the major water system facilities
in order to evaluate interzone water transfers. The model included only
sources, reservoirs, major transmission pipes, major booster pumps, and
major pressure reducing stations. The model was used to investigate the
adequacy of existing and/or proposed main transmission facilities to convey
water throughout the system, particularly from the lower elevation zones to
the higher elevation zones.
~ The major overall system deficiencies were found to be the inadequacy of
the existing pumping capability and transmission mains to move water from
the lower elevation zones to the higher elevation zones. Most of the
existing well production is in the Lower Zone, while most future
development is in the 1720 and higher zones. Also, several of the Upper
Zone's existing production wells may exceed the action levels of some
regulated organic pollutants in the near future.
Based on the identified deficiencies, an overall system alternative was
defined for the City's water system, which consists of the following major
new facilities:
- A new Lower Zone reservoir in the vicinity of the
intersection of Freeway 215 and Highway 30.
- A new pump station (1900 HP ultimate capacity) at the new
Lower Zone reservoir site to convey water to the Upper Zone.
- New 36-inch transmission main along Mt. Vernon Avenue to the
new Lower Zone reservoir site.
E-4
CAMP DRESSER 6 McKEE INC
,~
III, - New 36-inch transmission main to convey water north-south
from Lower Zone to Devil Canyon Treatment Plan.
i
- New 36-inch transmission main to convey water east-west
across the City system in the vicinity of Baseline Street in
the Lower zone.
- A new Upper Zone reservoir (8.0 million gallons Electric
Drive Reservoir replacement) on the southwest side of the
Shandin Hills.
- A new booster pump station (1500 HP) at the new Upper Zone
reservoir site to pump water to the 1720 and higher elevation
zones.
- Booster station improvements (400 HP) at Newmark to pump to
Sycamore Zone.
- Several new wells (new wells located throughout the system).
- wellhead treatment facilities at the E Street, 27th Street
and 19th Street plants.
The storage requirements for the water system were evaluated separately for
each pressure zone, and included operational, emergency, and fire storage
components. The overall available existing storage is generally adequate
for the system as a whole under existing conditions. However, there are
widespread discrepancies between required and available storage within the
individual pressure zones. In addition, there will be a significant need
for additional storage capacity in the future. Approximately 45.0 million
gallons of additional storage capacity will be needed throughout the system
by year 2010.
The analysis of the booster pumping capability of the City's system
considered the two major functions of the booster pumps: to lift water
from the well(s) to the reservoir(s) within a pressure zone; and to boost
water from lower elevation to higher elevation zones. The booster pumping
requirements were determined as the capacity needed to meet the maximum day
demand for the zone plus the maximum day demand for water transferred from
that zone to higher elevation zones; and to replenish fire storage within
eight hours. Existing pumping capacities are adequate for existing
conditions; however, substantial increases in pumping capability are needed
under future conditions to lift water to higher elevation zones.

~ The City's network of transmission and distribution piping was evaluated to
' ensure that the water system would be capable of providing adequate
pressure and flow throughout the City during periods of fire flow with
consumption at maximum day demand. Piping deficiencies within each
i pressure zone and for the system as a whole were identified; and required
I! pipeline improvements were determined.
' COSTS AMID STAGING OF RECOIRgSIDED IMPROVEt4STi'S
i
` i The water system plan includes construction cost estimates and a program
~. for staging construction of the recommended water system improvements to
correct existing deficiencies and to provide orderly expansion of the water
system to meet future demands. A detailed Capital Improvement Program
i
(CIP) was developed for the major supply, storage, pumping and transmission
main improvements needed for the City's overall system during the 1991 to
~~ I 1995 timeframe. Costs and staging were also developed for the required
~ storage, pumping, and pipeline improvements for each pressure zone at five
~, I (5) year increments between 1995 and year 2010.
I
r
i A cost summary of the proposed water system improvements for the first
~' ' phase to be constructed throughout the 1991 to 1995 timeframe is shown
i ' on the following page. An allowance of 15 percent for engineering and 20
i
percent for contingencies was added to the construction costs to determine
total capital costs. The costs include an inflation factor of 4 percent
~ per year.
In addition, a cost summary of all the proposed water system improvements
~" through the year 2010 is shown on the following page. These costs include
the first stage from 1991 to 1995 and all other proposed i~rovements
E. ~ through year 2010.

WATER SYSTEM
Current and Future Capacity
~ Table 1 shows 49,400 (rounded) water ERLI's as of July 1, 1990. The financial
plan shows both full-growth (1,000 ERCI's/year) and slow-growth (800 ERiTs/year)
scenarios.
Lack of rainfall in the past four years reduced the recharging of groundwater
aquifers from which 95 percent of the system water supply rs derived. Corse-
::' quendy, production capacity had been reduced from 81.6 mgd in 1986 to 46.7
mgd in August 1989 Expenses were recently incurred to complete capital
projects necessary to increase production capactry to 87 mgd.
An engineering master plan study was recently completed which evaluated
t capacity and recommended a 5 year capital improvement plan. See the sub-
sequent section tided "Capital projects.
Rates and Charges
Table 13 shows water rates and charges currently in effect. These rates be-
came effective in November 1989, foliowmg a rate study by the department In
September 1989 and preliminary financial plan data from Bartle Wells Associates.
Rate adjustments were required at that time to forestall a revenue shortfall
projected for 1989!90.

Income and Ezpease History
Table 14 shows afive--year history of income and expenses for the water un7iry through June 30,
1989. The water utihry enterprise incurred both a net operating and a net loss for the fiscal
years 1986 through 1988. The water ufllity's primary source of inmme is water sales to metered
customers, fire service, contractors, and other agencies. Operating income has increased about
70 percent from 55.7 million to 59.7 million over the last five years. Operating expenses con-
sist of water production, distribution 08tH (operation and maintenance) costs, general admin-
istration and overhead, depreciation and general services. The municipal water department is
committed, by ordinance, to transfer to the Ciry of San Bernardino 10 percent of its collec-
tions on gross water sales, as adjusted for water sales to the ary.

Capital Projects
In 1981, a water system master plan was prepared to identify necessary water
system improvements for the cit}~s service area. Continued rapid growth in the
~ number of customers, combined with expansion of the service area and signifi-
cant changes in available water system, made it necessary to update the 1981
Woter System Masts Plan. Camp, Dresser & McKee (CDM) completed a master
plan update in September 1990. This update uses a planning horizon of 2010
and provides cost and phasing information for the first five years.
Service Area: The service area of the San Bernardino muniapal water depart-
ment is bounded on the north by the San Bernardino National Forest and on
the east by East Valley Water District, Norton Air Force Base, ViMOria Fazms
Mutual Water Company, and South San Bernardino County Water District. It
is bounded on the south b~ the cities of Loma Linda and Colton, and on the
west by West San Betriardmo County Water District, the Ciry of Rialto, and the
Muscoy Mutual Water Company. The service area of approximately 45 square
miles is divided into 18 pressure zones, which range in ground elevation from
approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet.
Water Demands: The total existing maximum day demand in 1989/90 was
~, approximately 61,000 gallons per minute (gpm), while the projected future
maximum day demand in 2010 was estimated at 93,000 gpm.
Water Supply: The city currently obtains most of its water from groundwater
wells. A small amount of surface water (approximately 800 gpm) is currently
treated at the Devil Canyon filter plant and used in the 1720 Zone. No State
Water Project (SWP) water has ever been used directly by the city.
The city must rely on its existing stooge capaary and supplemental SWP
water imported through San Ben~ardino Valley Municipal Water Distrito for
groundwater recharge in order to meet the existing maxunum day demands.
During the summer, the northwestern portion o the service area can mazginally
meet existing maximum day demand, and does not have sufficient production
capacity to meet future maximum day demand. The Upper Zone has major
problems for existing and future condtnons due to production restrictions on
wells with trace pollutants. The Lower Zone region has some excess produc-
tion capacity under existing conditions; however, present production levels
cannot meet the projected future demand.
Water System Analysis: The water system analysis was performed by CDM.
The ys>s found that the major overall system deficienctes were the inade-
quacy of the existing pumping capability and trans+*++~~+on mains to move
water from the lower-elevation zones to the higher~levation zones. Also,
several of the Upper Zone's existing production wells may exceed the action
ti levels of some regulated organic pollutants in the neaz future.
eased on the identified deficiencies, an overall system alternative was defined
for the city~s water system. The resultant backbone system is shown graphic-
ally on the system map (page 22).
~ Five-Year Costs and Staging of Recommended Imp The water sys-
tem plan includes construction cost estimates an ad p~~~ for staging con-

O
deft«encies and provide orderly expansion of the water system trod feet~ture
demands. A detailed capital improvement program was level
major supply, storyge, pumping, and transmission main improvements needed
for the cit}~s overall system during the period from 1991 to 1995.
A cost summary of the proposed water system improvements for the first phase
to be constructed throughout 1991-1995 totals 567.0 million and is shown in
Table 15. An allowance of 15 percent for engineering and 20 percent for con-
tingencies was added to the construction costs to determine total capital costs.
The costs are based on a Los Angeles ENR Construction Cast Index of 5800
and include an inflation factor of 4 percent per year to the recommended
start-of-construction date.

Devt1 Canyon: The water department has projected requirements for a water
treatment facility in the Devil Canyon area including a feeder line to the dis-
ttibution system. The plant would be developed in two stages. The depar~ttent
estimates that such facihnes would cost $28.0 million in 1990 dollars. The
department plaps to begin construction after completion of improvement plan
pro ects, with the fast phase beginning in 1996/97. Inflated costs total $38.7
m~on and it is estimated that 75 percent of such costs are related to growth.

The table also shows the portion of costs related to growth based on estimates
by CDM and the department.
1990/91 Consuvction Pmgram: The department has made some additions,
substitutions, and deletions to the first-year (1990/91) projects proposed by
CDM, but project costs still total $9.6 million. The department is funding
these projects from its $11,463,000 share of the $18,600,000 West End Water
Development, Treatment, and Conservation Joint Powers Authority certificates
of pamapation, sold on August 7, 1990. Specific projects as shown in
Table 17.
Annual certificate installment payments are allocated based on each joint powers
authority participant's share of facility costs. Installment payment shares are
as follows:
f
City of San Bernardino 61.63#
West District 20.71
City of Rialto 17.66
~~ Average annual installments for the water department are $1.1 m~7lian.
The Devil Canyon capital project is included for capital financial planning pur-
poses. It represents approximately 36 percent of the total capital program in-
cluded in the finanaal plan. However, the project is not scheduled unn11996/97.
o Therefore, the capital cost and rate impact of this project could be mitigated
by a number of future events and cone' ctes before the project is approved
and implemented. Such events could include, but are not hmtted to:
^ Availability of deliveries from the State Water Project
^ Local capacity .

The financing plan which follows will provide funding for the project based on
available information, but should be reevaluated in approximately five years, or
sooner depending on project approval.
Capital Charges
Based in part on our 1989 review of capital rates allocation of future capital
costs, the department preppared a rate study and proposed increases in both the
quantity rate and capital cl'arges. This study and recommendations were adopted
t' by the board in October and became effective m November 1989. Capital charges
were increased as follows:
Former New
Rate Rate Increase
G'
Monthly meter charge 54.50 55.50 51.00
Acquisition-of-service charge 5707 51,400 5693
~. Additional capital costs resulting from the June 1990 improvement plan will
require further increases in both capital charges. Funds from the increase in
the monthly service charge increase should be used for capital costs benefiting
existing users. Funds from the increase in the acquisition-of-service charge
should be used to finance the growth-related pornon of the capital project
financing plan.
C
Capital Ressetves
The department estimates capital improvement funds avar7able for all projects
on July 1, 1990 at $500,000.
Financing Plan
The financing plans which follow provide aten-year projection of water utility
revenues and expenditures based on the analysis, cost and gmwth estimates de-
veloped above. The plan includes new capital charges effective November 1989
and includes interest earnings on available balances at 7 percent per year.
~ The plans recommend a balanced program of financing using pay-as-you-~o
(cash-balance) financing when available and bond financing for the retnamder:
Cash balances could be used for all pumping projects shown in the five-year
improvement Flan and also the 1991/92 suppply Pro ect. All other improve-
ment plan protects and the Devil Carryon facti7rty wou~d be financed with bonds.
The plan is designed to equate growth-related revenues (i.e., cotmecdon charges)
G with growth-related capual expenses. During the ten-yeaz period shown, such
revenues have been allocated 58 percent to growth-related expenses and 42
percent to existing customers (user charges) in the full-growth scenario.
The plan assumes the following capital rates will be revised as necessary to
fund capital expenses.
C-
^ User capital charges
^ Connection charges

The financing plan shows a total of 5105.6 million in capital project ~t~
Bond ptinctpal amounts and cash expenses required to implement thts p
summarized below.

FuIl Growth Table 18A shows the full-growth (1,000 ERU's per year) finanaag
plan required to fund proposed capital improvements shown in Table 15. This
•~ assumption can be funded by:
^ Increasing the acquisition-of-service (connection) charge to $2,700 as soon
as possible and 10 percent annually thereafter.
^ Increasing the monthly meter charge (annual capital charge) from the
current annual rate of $24 to $36 as soon as possible, $48 in 1992/93,
$60 in 1994/95, and $72 in 1996/97.
This plan will still provide an ending balance of approximately $2.6 million for
future debt service payments and future projects.
' Slow Growth: Table 18B shows the slow-growth (800 ERCTs per year) financing
plan re aired to fund the same capital improvements. This assumption can be
funded by:
^ Increasing the acquisition-of-service (connection) charge to $2,700 as soon
_ as possible and 10 percent annually thereafter.
^ Increasing the monthly meter charge (annual capital charge) 5rom the
current annual rate of $24 to $42 as soon as possible, $66 in 1992/93,
$78 in 1994/95, and $96 in 1996/97.
This plan will still provide an ending balance of approximately $2.8 m~7h'on for
~' future debt service payments and future projects.
Financing Methods
The city has the same local borrowing method available for water capital proj-
ects as previously identified in the S'~VYI'7t SYSiF~iI section of this report. Further,
C the city is a pamcipant in the West End Water Development, Treatment, and
Conservation Joint Powers Authority. The city participated in the authorit}~s
first issue of certificates of participation in August 1990, and could participate
in future such issues for water projects.

that would increase the cost of the main line installation
above the per foot cost stated in (b) (1) of this Rule and
Regulation.
The Water Department shall determine whether unusual site
conditions exist upon receipt of a request for service from
the property owner or his authorized agent. The Water
Department will make a complete investigation as set forth in
