The Water Department's sources of revenue are customer payments for water usage, service charges, and reimburse- ment for construction services. The Department does not derive any revenue from the general or special tax base. The cost of water is established through approved water rates. Water sales revenue and service charges are used for the fOllowing purposes: 1. To fund the acquisition of equipment and/or capital items, i.e., reservoirs, transmission lines, construction equipment, wells, and wellhead treatment equipment. 2. To meet annual operating expenses, including system maintenance and employee wages. 3. To maintain intracity transfer of 10' of all water sales revenue to the City's general fund as authorized by the Charter of the City of San Bernardino. In July, 1989, the Water Department had 36,100 active services. There are currently 37,000 active services in the water system, a 2.49' increase over the 1989 level. In order to maintain a quality water system, the water rates, the acquisition of service charges, and water main installation charges must be adjusted periodically to produce sufficient revenue to meet the Department's operating costs. These rates also cover the costs of constructing new sources of supply, additional storage capacity to meet peak demand, and the maintenance of the entire system. In 1990, the Department updated the Water System Master Plan as re~ired by the City's General Plan to determine future growth and the capital expenditures required to meet current and future water demand. The recommendations of the completed Master Plan, a summary of water rates and service charges of several surrounding water agencies, and the recommendations for water rate and ac~isi- tion of service charge adjustments are included as an attachment to this report. The State of California, specifically Southern California, has experienced a drought condition during the past five (5) years. This lack of rainfall which recharges the groundwater a~ifer from which 95' of our water supply is derived has caused a dramatic 1 4.- --_ ... . u. -- ..L. o o change in the operation of the water system. To compensate for the declining water table in San Bernardino, the Department has maximized its production and boosting from the artesian pressure zone. Pressure zone water is currently being produced and pumped into the higher elevation pressure zones of our distribution system. However, additional wells, transmission mains, and boosting facilities are necessary to produce and transfer suffi- cient quantities of water from the pressure zone to meet the City's future water demand. During the past four years, the overall production capability of our sources of supply have been reduced by 40% due to groundwater contaminants and a steady decline in water levels. As the water table continues to fall, the City's wells must be reequipped annually to produce water from deeper levels. The reequipping is expensive, i.e., $1.2 million in 1989- 1990, and adds additional costs to the operation due to increased power costs. Much of the water production from the high elevation wells cannot be recovered by reequipping due to the shallow depth of the aquifer. The Water Department has completed the construction of two (2) air stripping treatment facilities to remove volatile organic chemicals (TCE/PCE) from the groundwater. These facilities, funded from grants from the State of California, Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Program were essential in order for the Water Department to meet peak summer demand. The treatment facility at the Newmark well field is designed to treat 8.6 million gallons per day, and the facility at the Waterman plant is designed to treat 14.4 million gallons per day. A granular activated carbon treatment plant was constructed at 17th an Sierra Way which recovers 4.5 million gallons per day of production capacity. Altogether 27.5 million gallons per day of production capacity was gained back through the installation of aeration and carbon adsorption wellhead treatment units on ten (10) City wells. Through the groundwater contamination cleanup efforts and an aggressive program of rehabilitating existing wells, the Department was able to meet the 1990 peak water demand; however, we do not have any water production facilities (wells) in reserve. The groundwater contaminants are continuing to spread through the basin, and during 1990 we lost two (2) additional wells at 19th and California Street as well as two (2) wells at 23rd and 27th and "E" Streets. The declining water table, increased water demand, and the loss of water production capacity to groundwater contamination are a combination of conditions that have never before been experienced in San Bernardino. The comprehensive analysis of the water system (Master Plan update) completed in September, 1990 analyzed our current and future water demands, and determined what capital improvements were needed through the year 2010. The Water Department, in participation with the West San Bernardino County Water District and the City of Rialto, formed a joint powers agency capable of selling revenue 2 _--JJ . - -- ..L - o o bonds to fund the required capital improvements. A detailed listing of the 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which includes new well, booster station, storage, and transmission main requirements is attached to this report. The 5-year CIP requires the expenditure of approximately $13.4 million per year for capital water system projects over the next five (5) years. The current water rates were approved on October 16, 1989 and became effective November 1, 1989. An analysis of the Department I s financial needs was completed by Bartle Wells Associates in November, 1990. The study recommended increases in both water rates and the acquisition of service charges to generate the additional $3.9 million per year to fund the annual debt retirement for the 5-year, $67 million schedule of water system capital improvement projects. 3 A- . 6 4.

Projections for FY 1990-1991 are shown on Schedule 2. Based on the current rate structure, a revenue shortfall of $2.2 million is anticipated in the current fiscal year. Without adjustment to the water rates, shortfalls in revenue exist which do not allow for expenditures for required capital replacements and improvements. A water rate survey was conducted of the water agencies in the surrounding area. The full results of the survey are shown in the Appendix of this report. In order to make a meaningful comparison of the cost of water service to the residential customer, certain assumptions were made.

The proposed water rates are shown on Exhibit (1). The new schedule will: Maintain the monthly allowance included in the m1n1mum charge at 500 cubic feet for single family dwelling units and the first unit of a multiple family dwelling. Maintain a minimum monthly charge per unit for multiple family dwelling units which includes a 200 cubic foot usage allowance per unit after the 1st unit. Maintain commercial and industrial rates based on meter size and usage. Maintain current rate structure for Delmann Heights users. Increase the minimum monthly rate for each meter size and increase the usage charge from $.60 per one hundred cubic feet of water usage to $.72, a $.12 increase. Establish a municipal usage rate of $.288 per one hundred cubic feet of water usage. Establish an outside city rate for all new services installed after February 1, 1991 at 1.5 times the rate charged for water use within the incorporated boundaries of the city. Establish a flat rate charge for water to be used during the construction phase of new buildings. It is further recommended that Fire Service rates established under Rule and Regulation No. 14, Section (b) be increased. This revised rate schedule is shown on Exhibit (2). This schedule reflects an increase of $1.00 per inch per month. Hul tiple factors contribute to the recommended rate increases, however, the largest factors are the drastic increases in the lost production capacity, increased regulatory program requirements and essential capital expenditures needed to meet the water demand. -15- - . o o EXHIBIT "I" PROPOSED 1990/91 WATER RATES San Bernardino Municipal Water Department 300 North "0" Street San Bernardino, California WATER RATES RULE AND REGULATION NO. 21 GENERAL WATER SERVICE The following rates shall be charged for all water furnished for either domestic, commercial, or industrial use within the City of San Bernardino, or for any other purposes for which no other rate is specified: A.

'. #I Capital 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 necessuy to update the 1981 Water System Master Plan. Camp, Dresser &: 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 !>r the San Bernardino NatioD8l 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 l?r the cities of Loma Linda and Colton, and on the west by West San Bernardino County Water District, the City of Rialto, and the Muscoy Mutual Water Company. The service area of approximately 4S square miles 15 divided into 18 pressure zones, which range in ground elevation from approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet. Water J)Pnumd..: The total existing maximum day dPmAnd in 1989190 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 Sinall 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 storage capacity and suJlplementa1 SWP water imported through San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District for groundwater recharge in order to meet the existing mSIYimum day dPmAnd... During the summer, the northwestern portion 0 the service area can marginally meet existing maximum day dPmAnd, 8nd does not have sufficient production capacity to meet future maximum day demand. The U~ Zone has 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 System Analysis: 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 tp.....mmon mains to move water from the lower-elevation zones to the higher-elevation 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. The resultant backbone system is shown graphic- ally on the system map ~ge 22). =-:'==~o~oC:~:=: =;;;;::~~=: struction of the recommended water system improvements to correct existing -32- o EXHIBIT "5" CONTImO ... t to- , ., deficiencies and provide orderly expansion of the water system to meet future demands. A detailed capital improvement pro~ was developed for the major supply, storage, pumping, and transmissIon main improvements needed for the CIty'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 $67.0 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. TABLE 15 .

The State's lakes and streams are drying up and water agencies are wondering how they will meet this summer's demand for water.

In San Bernardino we have local water supplies to meet our current needs. However, the drought has caused the levels of the underground water table to drop. Along with a growing need to treat and improve the quality of our groundwater supplies, it is becoming more expensive and difficult to deliver water to all parts of our service area. WHERE DOES YOUR WATER COME FROM? A typical San Bernardino family home with 2-3 residents uses about 550 gallons of water per day (900 gpd in the summer). Approx- imately95% ofthe 70 million gallons per day (MGD) used throughout the City comes from 36 wells that pump water from underground. The remaining 5% of our water comes from a stream located in Devil Canyon behind California State University San Bernardino. The well water is pumped from underground basins filled by water draining down from snow- melt and rainfall in the mountains. The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department operates a number of storage reservoirs where the water is held before we distribute it to our customers. Surface water from Devil Canyon is filtered, treated, and blended with the chlorinated well water. The water is treated to be free of viruses and bacteria and is then piped to you for use in your home or business. '~l.,~ ,.!' ,,,-'~ WHAf HAS THE DROUGHT DONE? One of the main costs of delivering water is the cost of pumps and electricity to raise the groundwater from about 100 to 200 feet below the ground surface. This cost has greatly increased as more expensive pumps and more electricity are needed to lift water from more than 200 to 300 feet below ground. The drought has caused the water levels to drop and our costs to rise. But pumping water from deeper below ground does not alone solve our water supply problems. In a few wells, water has dropped to where it can no longer be eco- nomically pumped. Other wells are being affected by serious groundwater contamination from long-forgotten military operations and an abandoned airport in the north end of San Bernardino. v CONTAMINATION FROM AB ONEDI AIRPORT AND MILITARY OPERATIONS During World War II, Camp Ono (located near the University, east of 1-215) was a major weapons and ammunition depot. Military engine repair work was performed, under a contract with Norton AFB, at the old San Bernardino Municipal Airport, northeast of Kendall Drive. At both of these facilities, gasoline, oils, and industrial solvents were dumped either in pits or on the ground surface. Over the years, these contaminants have slowly seeped into our groundwater supplies and are now showing up in a number of our wells. The map below shows the movement and extent of the contaminants from these locations as well as others that will soon be major problems. \ NORTHP4RK ~.. San Bernardinds Water Depart- ment has been one of California's most aggressive agencies in clean- ing up groundwater contamination To date, three water treatment plants have been built with state grant monies . . . and more are planned. As a result, the water source from several polluted wells is being cleaned up and these J 1 ROUTfJO ...... HIGHlANDA.VE .....

These treatment plants are costly to operate and will be with us well into the future to treat the contaminants as they migrate through the groundwater basins. A 30% OF OUR WATER SUPPLY IMPACTED Together, the drought and groundwater contamination have reduced the City's current water production by about 30%. Although we have the ability to supplement our supply with Northern Califor- nia water, this source is costly and may not be available this year due to the drought. u THE BUNKER HILL BASIN Fortunately, San Bernardino has a less expensive, higher quality water source that we can rely on to increase our production and meet our demands. The Bunker Hill Artesian Pressure Zone underlies the area south of Base Line Avenue and east of 1-215. Nearly all of the snowmelt flowing down from the San Bernardino Mountains re- plenishes this basin. In wet years, water has actually risen above ground (artesian condition) causing basement flooding problems for buildings at the south end of the city. To further tap this supply, we are drilling additional wells in the pressure zone and building addi- tional pipes and pumping stations to distribute the water from the pressure zone to where it is needed. This investment in new facilities will provide our customers with a reliable water source for the current, and most foreseeable drought conditions. ~,,-'f Pumping, treating, and distrib- uting our local water supply to meet drought constraints and water quality standards, and to provide our customers with a reli- able source of water requires that we implement a 1991 increase in our water rates. The largest part of this average $3.24 per month resi- dential rate increase is needed for RECLAIMING OUR USED WATER Have you ever wondered where your water goes after you have washed your dishes, taken a shower, or flushed the toilet? After it is collected in our sewer system, it is treated in our water reclamation (wastewater) plant. The treated water is then piped to the Santa Ana River where it flows downstream. The Santa Ana River, which flows mostly under- ground to Orange County, is cap- tured, put into the groundwater basins, pumped out and treated, and reused as a domestic water supply. HOW CLEAN MUST WATER FROM OUR RECLAMATION PLANT BE? Since our reclaimed water eventu- ally is used again when it becomes part of the Santa Ana River flow, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) require us to meet 23 strict biological, chemical and mineral standards for the treated water. The RWQCB has upgraded the classification of the stretch of improvements to our pumping and distribution system (and will vary by amount of water used). To ensure that new homes pay their fair share of the cost of our water system, developers are currently charged a fee of $2,700 per home for water service. This connection fee is projected to increase to $6,390 by 1999. Santa Ana River which includes the outflow from our water recla- mation plant. As a result, they are now requiring that our plant meet more strict standards to allow potential uses such as fishing and swimming. The Air Quality Management District is another regulatory agency that is enforcing tougher stand- ards on our industry. To meet new standards that provide for improved air quality, we are installing and rebuilding engines at the reclama- tion plant to burn cleaner fuels and release cleaner emissions. r,~ L THE COST OF "CLEANER" WATER To achieve these higher water quality standards for protection of the river and to meet stricter air quality standards, San Bernardino, Highland, and Lorna Linda residents must invest an estimated $210 million in our reclamation plant by 1995. If we don't, we may face fines as high as $25,000/day. This investment in new facilities will require an initial $3.80 per month increase in the residential sewer rates and a range of increases for businesses (dependent upon type). The San Bernardino City Council will hold public hearings to discuss approval of the increases later this year. WATER QUALITY TESTING For every current measure of water quality, the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department's 1990 water supply met or exceeded federal and even stricter State standards for protection of public health. The 1990 water quality test results are provided on the follow- ing table. The standards shown for the State and Federal require- ments are measured in parts per million, parts per billion, and now for reclaimed wastewater param- eters-parts per trillion. To put these amounts in perspective, '. . .. consider that one part per million is equal to a pinch of salt in 416 bags of potato chips and a part per million is equal to a pinch of salt in 84 tons of chips. The IJprimary" standards are designed to ensure that the water would not harm a person after 70 years of continuous consumption. Some of these standards are as strict as parts per billion. The "secondary" standards are designed to insure the water is of acceptable taste, odor, and clarity. Our water supply meets or exceeds all primary and secondary stand- ards; therefore, the need for additional treatment at the home is not necessary.

( ~ '-' MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department has been pro- viding our customers with a safe and reliable water supply since 1904. We and our staff are com- mitted to protecting public health and safety, our precious water supply, and the environment of the Santa Ana River. To continue meeting our commitment, we will be implementing a number of new projects over the next few years. First, everyone knows a drought is affecting California's water sup- plies. To deal with the drought's impact, we are drilling more wells and adding larger pumps to exist- ing wells to bring groundwater up from levels that have been dropping due to the drought. We are expand- ing our delivery system to transfer groundwater from the Artesian Pressure Zone to other areas in the City where water levels are dropping. Secondly, our water supply cur- rently meets or exceeds all Federal and State-established water quality standards. To keep it that way, we are constructing and operating a number of groundwater treatment WATER DEPARTMENT CITY HALL 300 N. "0" STREET 92418 P.O.

The combined cost of pumping water from lower levels and operat- ing these treatment plants, have increased and will continue to increase the cost of providing you with a safe and reliable supply. The impact this year alone to our residential customers will be about $3.24 per month. Although sub- stantial, this cost is much less than the drought alone will cost many other California cities. Finally, our treated and reclaimed wastewater is piped to the Santa Ana River where it eventually flows downstream, through Riverside and Orange Counties. The potential uses of the riverl such as swim- ming and fishing have led to increas- ingly strict standards being placed on the quality of this water. To meet the new standards, we will be required to spend nearly $210 million over the next ten years. These costs will result in an estimated $3.80 increase in residential sewer bills each month during 1991. We have prepared this 1991 report, our second annual, to pro- vide you with the results of our water testing and monitoring that we completed during 1990. As we report herein, our water supply meets our exceeds all current standards. We are continuing to improve our system to meet both supply demands and future quality standards. We believe that a long-term plan for enhanced environmental pro- tection, at minimal cost, is feasible. To avoid financial hardship, the treatment facilities we need to meet state and federal drinking water standards must be constructed over a period of years. While we are constructing these needed facilities, we hope you will join with us to begin to use our water resources wisely and efficiently to ensure our long-term supply. ~J1J~ Margaret H.
