CIT~F SAN BERNARDltO - REQUEO FOR COUNCIL ACTON
STAFF REPORT
The Board of Water Commissioners has adopted Resolution No. 412
increasing the acquisition of service charges (Water Department
Rule 20) applicable to all new water service applications, and
Resolution No. 413 increasing the water meter installation costs
(Water Department Rule 5).
The Water Department has an established acquisition of service
charge of $1400 for a 5/8" X 3/4" meter serving a single dwelling
unit. Multiple dwelling units are charged one-half of the base
charge for each unit. Charges for other classes of service are
established based upon meter size. Revenue from this charge is
used to pay the cost of serving new development. Analyses have
been performed which indicate that this charge is not sufficient
to cover the incremental additional charge of providing for
expansion to serve new growth.
Required capital improvements to meet future demand were derived
from the 1990 Water System Master Plan Update. A total 5-year
capital improvement project cost was determined based on 1990
dollars. The total cost of all projects are $67.5 million (a copy
of the schedule is attached to the Board resolution). The projects
were then allocated as projects necessary for existing customers,
and projects necessary to expand the water system to, meet new
demand. All of the 5-year capital improvement projects are bond-
sale financed. An analysis was conducted to determine historical
rates of growth and anticipated growth rates for the next five
years. This analysis shows that we have added approximately 1,000
equivalent residential units per year to the water system since
1980. '
The results of the analysis indicate that the acquisition of
service charge should be established at $2700 for 5/8" X 3/4" meter
serving a single dwelling unit. The charge for larger meters is
then established based upon a capacity factor for each meter size
in relationship to the capacity factor of the 5/8" X 3/4" meter
size.
The increased acquisition of service charge is a result of the
Department's updated master plan of water system improvements.
This master plan update is a requirement of the City's General
Plan.
A survey of surrounding area water agencies was conducted to
determine what costs they have established for acquisition of
service and meter installation charges. A copy of the survey
information is attached. The results indicated that the increased
charges, approved by the Board of Water Commissioners, are mid-
range and in line with surrounding water agencies.

CITPOF SAN BERNARDltO - REQUEO FOR COUNCIL ACTON
STAFF REPORT
Additional changes were made to Water Department Rule No. 20 which
breaks down the cost of water mains installed by the Water
Department by various main sizes. The rule was also amended to
approve engineering plan check fees, engineering evaluation fees,
and allows for developers to install and dedicate main installa-
tions. A complete analysis of changes to Rule and Regulation No.
20 is attached.
Costs to install domestic water meters and fire services set forth
in Rule and Regulation No.5 were increased for the 1-1/2", 2", and
3" services due to the cost of materials and labor to install the
services. Large services, from 4" and up, and all fire services
will be done on a cost plus 10% basis, whereby the applicant posts
a deposit and will be reimbursed or charged based upon the actual
cost to install.
The Board of Water Commissioners conducted a public hearing to
receive comments on the proposed increases and amendments on
December 18, 1990, and no comments or protests were received. The
Board adopted Resolutions No. 412 and 413 to become effective
February 1, 1991.

PROPOSED REVISION OF WATER DEPAR'l'MENT RULE AND REGULATION NO. 20
We have revised the Water Department's Rule and Regulation No. 20
(Application for Main Extension) as follows:
1. New Reauests for Service - Existing Section (a) Proposed
Section (a)
No Change.
2. Plan Check Fee - ADoroval or Dis8DDroval of Reauest For Main
Extension - Existing Section (b) Proposed Section (b)
The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 has a provision for
approval of requests. We are proposing that all requests for
main extension pay a plan check fee of $500.00 or $.25 per
lineal foot whichever is greater to cover our engineering cost
to design and plan check the proposed main installation.
3. Main Line Installed IBv Water DeDartmentl- Existing Section
(c) Proposed Section (b) (1)
Based on an analysis of construction orders closed out during
the past 18 months, we recommend that the current 'per lineal
foot cost to install water mains be increased as follows:
FROM: 6" - 12"
Larger Than 12"
$20.15 Per Lineal Foot
Time and Material + Adsorption
Charges
TO:
4"
6"
8"

Larger Than 12"
$14.00 Per Lineal Foot
$16.00 Per Lineal Foot
$22.00 Per Lineal Foot
$32.00 Per Lineal Foot
Time and Material + Adsorption
Charges
4. Main Line Installation (~v DeveloDer/Contractorl - Proposed
Section (b) (2)
The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 does not have a
provision for developer/contractor-installed water mains. We
have included this provision to enable the Department to
balance our workload by requiring the developer, when
determined necessary, to install water mains within dedicated
public right of ways under our inspection using only materials
approved by the Water Department. The developer/contractor
installing water mains will use only a licensed contractor
approved by the Water Department and shall be required to
enter into a standard legal agreement which shall cover exact
terms, legal conditions, and developer Icontractor respon-
sibilities prior to approval to proceed.

The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 does not have this
provlslon. The Water Department shall require an inspection
deposit of $350.00 or $1.00 per lineal foot of pipeline
whichever is greater for all main line approved by the
Department for installation by developer/contractor. The
actual construction inspection may be conducted by Water
Department engineering personnel and/or through contract
inspection with a local engineering firm. The cost of
inspection will vary depending upon the complexity of the
installation and/or the competence of the pipeline contractor,
and shall be billed or refunded for the actual cost plus 10%.
6. Extraordinarv Facilitv Charae - Existing Section (b) (1)
Proposed Section (b) (4)
The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 has a provision for
extraordinary facility charges; however, it is too broad in
scope and tried to cover more than it was intended to, i.e.,
costs of new reservoirs, wells, etc.. We have eliminated
additional facilities from this rule and limited the language
to cover only extraordinary construction costs incurred in
main line installations.
7. Enaineerina Evaluation Fee - Proposed Section (b) (5)
The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 does not have this
provision. The Water Department shall require a water
facility engineering evaluation fee deposit of $1,000.00 for
request for service in new service areas and/or request for
service that may require the installation of new reservoirs,
boosters, transmission mains, and wells. The Department or
its consulting engineer will perform the required engineering
analysis to determine exactly what facilities are required to
comply to the Department' s water system master plan. The
Department will refund or bill the developer/contractor the
actual engineering costs plus 10%.
8. Footage Charae for Service from Water Denartment Financed Main
Extensions - Existing Section (e) Proposed Section (b) (6)
No change.
9. Main Line Extension Aareement - Existing Section (d) Proposed
Section (c)
The current Rule and Regulation No. 20 has this provision;
however, we have added the following subsection:
In no instance shall the applicant be reim-
bursed for more than the amount applicable in
Section (b) (1) cost of main line installation
bv Water Deoartment of this Rule and Regulation
in effect at the time of installation for the
reimbursable portion of the main extension.

We have added thisC(ubsection to ~arifY that reimbursement ()
for either Water Department or developer/contractor-installed
water mains shall be based on the Water Department cost to
install mains in effect at the time of installation.
10. Dead-End Lines - Existing Section (f) Proposed Section (d)
No Change.
11. Corner Parcels - Existing Section (g) Proposed Section (e)
No Change.
12. Acauisition of Service Charae - Existing Section (h) Proposed
Section (f)
The current acquisition of service charge in effect in Rule
and Regulation No. 20 has been increased as follows:

The acquisition of service charge for the base domestic meter (5/8"
X 3/4" 20 gpm maximum capacity) was established at $2,700.00 in the
Bartle Wells City of San Bernardino Water Department Capital
Improvement Financing Plan completed in November, 1990. The
acquisition of service charge for the larger size meters is based
on their maximum flow capacity, divided by 20 gpm, times the based
domestic meter cost of $2,700.00. The attached survey of acquisi-
tion of service charges indicates that our proposed costs are in
line with what the surrounding communities are charging.

hereto; and
WHEREAS, these studies were available for public inspection
and review ten (10) days prior to this public hearing and notice
was given in compliance with Government Code Section 54992; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing, noticed pursuant to and in
compliance with Government Code Sections 54944.1 and 6062a, was
held at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Water
Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Water Commissioners finds as follows:
A.) The purpose of'Rule and Regulation No; 20 is to finance
source of supply, storage, transmission, treatment, conservation
and distribution facilities to reduce the impacts upon the
capacities and capabilities of existing facilities through
increased demand caused by new development, within the entire
service area of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department as
it exists in 1990.
B.) The acquisition of service charges collected by Rule and
Regulation No. 20 pursuant to this resolution shall be used to
finance the pUblic water facilities described or identified in
Exhibits "A" and liB" attached hereto.
C.) After considering the study analyses prepared and listed
hereinabove, and the testimony received at this public hearing, the
Board approved said studies and incorporates such herein, and
further finds that the new development in the service area will
create additional needs of sources of supply, reservoirs, transmis-
"0

o
o
1 sion and distribution system upgrades and improvements, water
2 treatment facilities and conservation facilities within the
3 impacted area as described in the map attached hereto on Exhibit
4 "e", and will contribute to the degradation of water system
5 facilities in that area.
6 D.) It is appropriate or necessary in this described impact
7 area to provide for sources of supply, storage, transmission and
8 distribution systems, water treatment and conservation facilities
9 which have not been constructed or have been constructed, but new
10 development has not contributed its fair share towards the cost of
11 these new facilities.
12 E.) The facts and evidence presented establish that there is
13 a reasonable relationship between the need for the described pUblic
14 facilities and the impacts of the types of development described
15 in Section 2 below for which the corresponding fee is charged, and
16 there is a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the
17 type of development for which the fee is charged, as these
18 reasonable relationships or nexus are in more detail described in
19 the study referenced above.
20 F.) The cost estimates set forth in Exhibits "A" and "B" are
21 reasonable cost estimates for constructing these facilities, and
22 the fees expected to be generated by new development will not
23 exceed the total of these costs.
24 NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Water Commissioners, City of San
25 Bernardino, does hereby resolve as follows:

EllECI1l'IVE StIlMMY
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 ~ter 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 AIlFA
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 East valley Water 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 Lama 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 45 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 DEMl\NDS
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

maxillRllD 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.
WATER SUPPLY
'I1le 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.
'I1le 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. 'I1le Upper Zone has major
problems for existing and future conditions due to production restrictions
on wells with trace pollutants. 'I1le Lower Zone region has some excess
production capacity under existing conditions; however, present production
levels cannot meet the projected future demand. 'I1le 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
illl1ll!diate and long-term needs, including: new wells; wellhead treatment to
remove trace organic compounds from affected wells; and surface water fran
the proposed Devil canyon Treatment Plant. A cCllllbination of the
alternatives was determined to be the most feasible due to the City's
illl1ll!diate needs, the large projected shortfall, and the need to maintain a
reliable water supply.

EXISTD<<; WATER SYSTE2t FACILITIES
'l1le majority of the system's water is supplied from wells. While 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. 'l1le City currently
has 24 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. 'l1leyare used to lift water from a low
pressure zone to a higher pressure zone, and pump directly from a pipeline
or storage reservoir.
During the SUIIIIIl!r, 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
transferred to lower zones by means of pressure reducing valves, which are
kept closed during the SUIIIIIl!r except under emergency conditions.
'l1le City's transmission and distribution pipelines vary in diameter frc. 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.

MATER SYSTEJt ANlU.YSIS
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 dillllleter 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 I\I)st 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 facili ties:
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 Kt. Vernon Avenue to the
new Lower Zone reservoir site.

New 36-inch transmission main to convey water north-south
from Lower Zone to Devil Canyon Treatment Plan.
New 36-inch transmission main to convey water east-west
across the City system in the vicinity of Baseline Street in
the Lowe r 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
fran the well(s) to the reservoir(s) within a pressure zone; and to boost
water fran lower elevation to higher elevation zones. The booster pumping
requirements were determined as the capacity needed .to meet the maxi_ day
demand for the zone plus the maximum day demand for water transferred fran
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
pressure zone and for the system as a whole were identified; and required
pipeline improvements were determined.
alSTS AND ST1oGD<<; OF JlECCIoIMnmED IMPRO\ImIIEm'S
The water system plan includes construction cost estimates and a program
for staging construction of the recoJlUllended 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
(CIP) was developed for the major supply, storage, pumping and transmission
main improvements needed for the City's overall system during the 1991 to
1995 timeframe. Costs and staging were also developed for the required
storage, pumping, and pipeline improvements for each pressure zone at five
(5) year increments between 1995 and year 2010.
A cost summary of the proposed water system improvements for the first
phase to be constructed throughout the 1991 to 1995 timeframe is shown
on the following page. An allowance of 15 percent for engineering and 20
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 SUI\IIIll.ry 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 improvements
through year 2010.

WAlER SYSTEM
CUrrent and Future Capacity ,
Table 1 shows 49,400 (rounded) water ERU's as of July I, 1990. The financial
plan shows both full.growth (1,000 ERU's/year) and slow-growth (BOO ERU's1year)
scenarios.
Lack of rainfall in the past four years reduced the ~ of groundwater
aquifers from 'Yhich 9S percent of the system water supply 15 derived. Conse.
quently, 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 capacity to 87 mgd.
An engineering master plan study was recently completed which evaluated
capacity and reconunended a 5 year cafital improvement plan. See the sub-
sequent section titled "Capital Projects.
Rates and Charges .
Table 13 shows water rates and charges currently in effect. These rates be-
came effective in November 1989, fofiowing a rate study by the department in
September 1989 and pre1iminaIy 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 ~n. History
Table 14 shows a five.,. history of income and expenses for the water utility through JuDe 30,
1989. The water utility enterpnse incurred both a net operatiDg and a net loss for the &seal
years 1986 through 1988. The water utility's primary source of incoll"'" is water sales to metered
customers, fire service, contractors, and other agencies. OJleratiDg income has iDcftased about
70 percent from $5.7 million to $9.7 million over the last live years. Operating expenses con-
sist of water production, distribution 0BcM (operation and maintenance) costs, BeneraI adJl1in-
istration and overhead, depreciation and genelal services. The municipal water department is
committed, by ordinance, to tranSfer to the City of San Bernardino 10 percent of its collec-
tions on gross water sales, as adjusted for water sales to the city.

Olpital ProjectS
In 1981, a water system master plan was prepared to identify necessary water
system improvements for the city'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
Water System Master PIon. Camp, lAllSJer &: McKee (COM) 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 municipal water depart-
ment is bounded on the north !?' the San Bernardino National Forest and on
the east by East Valley Water District, Norton Air Force Base, Victoria Farms
Mutual Water Company, and South San Bernardino County Water District. It
is bounded on the south ~ the cities of Loma Linda and Colton, and on the
west by West San Bemardino County Water District, the City of Rialto, and the
Muscoy Mutual Water Company. The service area of approximately 45 ~
miles is divided into 18 pressure zones, which range in ground elevation
approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet.
Water o-m....&:: 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 5ina11 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 ~ts existing storage C:lljlBcity and supplemental SWP
water imported through San Bernardino VIWef Municipal Water District for
groundwater recharge in order to meet the exiSting mmmnm day tI,.",..,dll.
During the SUJ1ID1er', the northwestem portion 0 the service area can margiDally
meet existing m..'W'imum day d,.",..ntI. liDd does not have suMmont production
capacity to meet future m..'W'imum day demand. The Upper Zone bas major
problems for existing and future conditions due to production restrictions on
wells with trace pollutants. The Lower Zone region bas some excess produc-
tion capacity under existing conditions; however, present production levels
cannot meet the projected future demand. -
Water ~ ADalysis: The water system analysis was performed by COM.
The analysis found that the major oVerall system deficiencies were the inade-
quacy of the. existing pumping capability and trsftcmiccion mains to move
water from the 1ower.:elevation zones to the high~-e1evation 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 dl'fin..d
for the city's water system. The resultant backbone system is shown graphic:-
ally on the system map (page 22).
Five-Year Costs and 5tslgi"l of Rew...n.......ed ImproVeIDeDII: The water sys.
tem plan includes construction cost estimates and" a program for staging con.
struction of the recommended water system improvements to correct existing

deficiencies and provide orderly expansion of the water system to meet future
demands. A detiiled capital im~t p~ was developed for the
major supply, storage, pumping, and ttanSmiSSlon main improvements needed
for the ary'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 $61.0 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 Cost Index of S800
and include an inflation factor of 4 percent per year to the recommended
start-of-constrUction date.

Devil ~ The water department has projected requirements for a water
treatment facility in the Devil CInyon area including. feeder tiDe to the dis-
nibution system. 'l'be plant woukl be developed in twO stages. The department
estimates that such faCWties would cost $28.0 million in 1990 dol1ars. The
department plans to begin construction after completion of improvement plan
projects, with the first phase beginning in 1996197. Inflated costs total $38.7
million and it Is estimated that 7S pen:ent of such costs are related to growth.
Cash Plow Projection: Table 16 shows a ten-year cash flow projection for the
period eNl;...., 1999/00, with total inflated costs of:
Five-year 1990 improvelent plan
Devil Canyon
Total
$ 67.0 .1111on
~
The table also shows the portion of costs related to growth based on estimates
by COM and the department.
1990/91 CoDstruction Pmgnm: The department has made some additions,
substitutions, and deletions to the first-year (1990/91) projects ~ by
COM, but project costs still total $9.6 million. The department IS fund;...,
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 parocipation, sold on August 7, 1990. Specific projects as shown in
Table 17.
Annual certificate inst-llmPnt paymeIlIS are allocated based on each joint powers
authority participant's share of facility costs. Inst..llmE'l1t payment shares are
as follows:
City of San Bernardino
West District
City of Rialto
61.63%
20.71
17.66
Average annual fnstSIllments for the water department are $1.1 million.
The Devil Canyon capital F,Oject is included for capital ~J~~n;:! P,Ul'-
poses. It represents ap~tely 36 percent of the total cap ~1IIl m-
duded in the fi_MAl plan. HCJWeWlr, the project is DOt sc:beclWed 1996/97.
Therefore, the capital cost and rate impact of this project could be mitigated
by a number of future events and contingencies before the F'?ject is approved
and implemented. Such events could include, but are not limited to:
. Availability of deliveries from the State Water Project
. Local capacity
. Engineering estimates

The fjl'lIncing plan which follows will provide funding for the project based on
available infOrmation, but should be ~uated in approximately five years, or
sooner depending on project approval.
~~ =ur 1989 review of capital rates allocation of future capital
costs, the department prepared a rate study and proposed increases in bOth the
quantity rate and capital charges. This study and ll!COD1l'1"....d~tions were adopted
by the board in October and became effective in November 1989. Capital charges
were increased as follows:
Former
Rate
New
Rate
Increase
Monthly meter charge
. Acquisition-of-service charge
$4.50
$707
$5.50
$1,400
$1.00
$693
Additional capital costs resulting from the June 1990 improvement plan will
require further increases in both capital charges. Punds from the increase in
the monthly service charge increase should be used for capital costs benefiting
existing users. punds from the increase in the acquisition-of-service charge
should be used to finance the growth-related portion of the capital project
financing plan.
Capital Resem!S .
The department estimates capital improvement funds available for all projects
on July 1,1990 at $500,000.
pinJlnMng Plan
The financing plans which follow provide a ten-year projection of water utility
revenues and eXpenditures based on the analysis. cost Bnd growth estimates de-
veloped above. The plan includes Dt!W capital charges eft'ec:tive November 1989
and includes interest earnings on available hAll1......... at 1 percent per year.
The plans recom""",,d a ""IA........ pros;ram of finAn,.;"r using pay-as-YOU-JO
(cash-balance) finA..,.;nr when av8i1able and bond fiftllnM"r for the pmA,nt!er:
Cash ""IA"e-<' could be used for all pum$jects shown in the five-year
~ plan and also the 1991/92 'project. All other bnprove-
ment plan projects and the Devil c:an,on Would be fiftllft.....! widi bonds.
The plan is d~ to equate gmwth_plAtM revenues (i.e., ('()t..-:tion charges)
with growth-related capital expenses. DuriDg the ten-year period shown, Such
revenues have been allocated 58 percent to irowth-related ~ and 42
percent to existing customers (user charges) in the CuD-growth scenario.
The plan assumes the following capital rates will be revised as necessary to
fund capital expenses.

FuJI Grow1h: Table 18A shows the full~ (1,000 ERl1s per year) fimmring
plan required to fund proposed capital unprovements shown in Table 15. This
assumption can be funded by:
. lncreasing 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 posslole, $48 in 1992/93,
$60 in 1994/95, and $72 in 1996/97. .
This plan will still provide an _"i"g lull""!:e of approximately $2.6 million for
future debt service payments and future projects.
Slow Growth: Table 188 shows the slow-growth (800 ERl1s per year) fimnuoing
. C~ to fund the SIJIle capital improVeltlents. This assumption can be
. Increasing the acquisition-of-service (connection) charge to $2,700 as soon
as poss1'ble and 10 pereent annually thereafter.
. Incn'"d"i the monthly meter c:harge (annual capital charge) from the
current annual rate of $24 to $42 as soon as possl'ble, $66 in 1992/93,
$78 in 1994/95, and $96 in 1996/91.
This plan will still provide an ('T>"i"i balll~ of appro~mately $2.8 million for
future debt service payments and future projects.
Financing Methods
The city bas the SIJI1e local borrowing method available for water capital proj- .
ects as previously identified in the SBWI!Il sm1!M section of this repon. Further,
the city is a participant in the West End Water Development. Treatment, and
Conservation Joint Powers Authority. The city participated in the authority's
first issue of certificates of participation in August 1990, and could participate
in future such issues for water projects.
