Honorable Board of Directors
Otay Water District
I am pleased to present the Otay Water District’s Adopted Capital Improvement Program
Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-2031. The budget supports the District’s Fiscal Year 2023-2026
Strategic Plan as well as the financing of all District services, programs, and capital needs
during Fiscal Year 2026. The success as an agency is significantly enhanced by the policies
and practices implemented by its Board and management to ensure stability, reliability,
strength, and sustainability. The management team is fully confident that through sound
financial management and streamlining of operations and services, supported by the
Strategic Plan and a dedicated and talented staff, the District will continue to achieve
success and thus, ensure the well-being and quality of life of its more than 242,000
customers. Our goal is to sustain the services we provide while minimizing rate impacts to
our ratepayers.
Legislative and Regulatory Issues
The District continues to monitor legislative and regulatory activity and how it could impact
the District and its customers. September 12 is the final day for bills to pass the legislature,
and the Governor has until October 12, 2025 to sign or veto legislation.
The primary legislative activity for the District and its legislative consultant has been tracking
numerous legislation and engaging on SB 707 (Durazo), which makes numerous changes
to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), including new public access and participation
requirements for specified legislative bodies, new exemptions from certain
teleconferencing requirements for eligible subsidiary bodies and eligible multijurisdictional
bodies, extensions of law providing exemptions from certain teleconferencing requirements
for specified legislative bodies or under specified circumstances, and additional changes.
A large coalition, which includes the District, is currently “oppose unless amended” based
upon provisions related to eligible legislative bodies, unnecessary inefficiency and
micromanagement of local service specialists, and costly litigation risk. The bill will next be
heard by the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The coalition will continue to work with
the author and committee on the requested amendments.

The District is closely monitoring AB 339 (Ortega) with potential to oppose it due to concerns
over unfunded mandates. This bill requires public agencies regulated by the Meyers-Milias-
Brown Act to give a recognized employee organization no less than 60 days’ written notice
regarding contracts to perform services that are within the scope of work of job
classifications represented by the recognized employee organization.
The District is also watching the following Association of California Water Agencies’ (ACWA)
-sponsored legislation:
SB 394 (Allen), which allows local agencies to establish ordinances specific to water
theft from hydrants, modifies penalties for other water theft ordinances, and adds
theft from fire hydrants to provisions of existing law related to civil suits for water
theft.
SB 454 (McNerney), which creates the PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
substances) mitigation fund and authorizes, upon appropriation, moneys deposited
into the fund be available for the State Water Resources Control Board to expend for
the treatment of PFAS in drinking water, wastewater, and recycled water.
Additional favorable bills the District is monitoring include:
AB 372 (Bennett), which would establish the Rural Water Infrastructure for Wildfire
Resilience Program in the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for the
distribution of state matching funds to urban wildland interface communities.
AB 532 (Ranson), which allows a public urban retail water supplier to provide water-
rate assistance to its ratepayers. The bill defines “public urban retail water supplier”
to mean a public water supplier that directly provides potable municipal water to
more than 3,000 end users or that supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of potable
water annually at retail for municipal purposes.
The District is closely monitoring the following legislation, which ACWA and other
stakeholders maintain an “oppose unless amended” position:
AB 367 (Bennett), which imposes requirements related to wildfire resilience on any
water supplier in the County of Ventura that supplies water that is used for the
suppression of fire in either a high or very high FHSZ to more than 20 total residential
dwellings in those zones.
SB 616 (Rubio), which creates an independent Community Hardening Commission
within the California Department of Insurance with the goals of developing a unified
and centralized fire mitigation standard for all levels of government across the state,
7
as well as generating guidelines to enable the creation of a wildfire data sharing
platform.
Earlier this year, the District monitored the following bills, which are no longer moving
through the legislature or have been amended into different subjects:
AB 614 (Lee), which extends, from six months to one year, the time period in which
a person must present a claim against a government entity for death or injury to a
person, personal property, or growing crops to the government entity before the
person may file a civil lawsuit. Status: Held in the Assembly Appropriations
Committee.
• AB 514 (Petrie Norris), which declares it is state policy to encourage, but not
mandate, the development of emergency water supplies by both local and regional
water suppliers, and to support the use of these supplies during times of drought or
unplanned service or supply disruption. Status: Held in the Assembly Appropriations
Committee.
AB 1203 (Ahrens), which would require the department and the Office of Community
Partnerships and Strategic Communications to include, within the Save Our Water
Campaign, a statewide “water wise” designation to be awarded to businesses in the
CII sector that meet or exceed the recommendations for CII water use best
management practices pursuant to those performance measures. Status: Pending
in the Assembly Water, Parks, and Wildlife Committee.
SB 350 (Durazo), which would establish the Water Rate Assistance Program and the
Water Rate Assistance Fund to provide water affordability assistance, for both
drinking water and wastewater services, to low-income residential ratepayers.
Status: Held in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
SB 496 (Hurtado), which would make various changes to the Advanced Clean Fleets
(ACF) program and establish an ACF appeals advisory committee. Status: Held in
Senate Appropriations Committee.
Below are the bills that the District continues to monitor that are currently still moving
through the legislature:
SB 31 (McNerney), which clarifies that the use of recycled water is authorized in
various applications and under specified circumstances. ACWA has adopted a
“favor” position.
SB 72 (Caballero), which revises and recasts requirements for the contents of the
California Water Plan, requires the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to
develop a long-term water supply planning target for 2050, and establishes an
8
interim target to develop an additional 9 million acre-feet of water by 2040. ACWA
has adopted a “support” position.
The District continues to monitor regulatory developments of drinking water, water quality,
and water rights fees at the State Board. The State Board has been holding a series of
stakeholder meetings with upcoming stakeholder meetings scheduled through July and
August.
The District continues to monitor the ACF Regulation at the CARB. The District filed
comments with CARB as they considered amendments to the ACF Regulations required by
AB 1594 (Garcia, 2023). The District’s letter outlined the specific challenges in detail and
offered collaboration on solutions. The letter summarized the fleet compliance plan and
current inventory, the exemptions the District anticipates seeking, key pain points, critical
compliance years, and requested regulatory flexibilities.
Regarding federal engagement, the District has been engaged in the federal appropriations
process and submitted a letter in support of the Helix Water District’s request for the R.M.
Levy Water Treatment Plant, located in Lakeside, California. This plant is critical as the
District prepares to treat 30% of East County’s drinking water supply when the East County
Advanced Water Purification Program comes online in 2026. The cost to replace the system
is $11 million, and federal funding will benefit the residents of East County. This critical
project will have a tremendous impact on the region.
California continues to face a substantial budget shortfall driven by three key factors: 1)
federal policy impacts; 2) rising baseline costs, especially for Medi-Cal; and 3) economic
fallout and spending related to the devastating Los Angeles fires. As a result, no Climate
Bond trailer bill has been passed to allocate related funding, and discussions between the
legislature and the governor are ongoing.
Fiscal Year 2023 - 2026 Strategic Plan
The strategic plan details our commitment to remain a model public agency that
maintains stakeholder trust through fiscal responsibility, environmental stewardship,
and effective leadership. Since 1956 the District's theme has been and continues to be
"Dedicated to Community Service." This motto serves as a great reminder for our staff of
the responsibility and significance of delivering exceptional service to the residents and
businesses in our community.
Over the years the District’s strategic plan has evolved from one focused on growth to one
focusing on consistent business and operational efficiencies, innovation, and long-term
asset management and capital improvement program advancements. The District’s
9
current strategic plan (FY 2023-2026), adopted by the Board in January 2022, highlights
areas of focus, including a stronger emphasis on financial and long-term demands,
legislative matters, aging workforce and knowledge transfer, organizational culture,
customer service, cybersecurity, and asset management. Quarterly and annual
performance metrics support short-term and long-term objectives linked to these strategies
to promote and track continuous improvement.
The plan reinforces the Board’s vision, mission, and value statements and the business
perspectives that serve as the foundation for the new strategies, goals, and objectives. The
strategic plan addresses several challenges facing the District today. They include fulfilling
more stringent water quality requirements, meeting the water demands of a developing
community, discovering methods to better use our current water resources through storage
and water conservation, retention and recruitment of a skilled workforce, and maintaining
an adaptable organization to meet future challenges. The strategic plan allows us to also
convey our plans to our customers, other agencies, and water regulators. As with past
plans, we are confident that this plan will help us to successfully implement the Board’s
direction.
As the District's infrastructure ages, there will be increasing financial pressure to meet the
costs of replacing infrastructure. To mitigate these pressures, the management team
continues to prioritize efficiency inside the agency via investments in operational and
business technologies to optimize an efficient workforce.
Through community focus, sound planning, preparation, and fiscal management, and a
prepared and adaptable work culture, the District is well positioned to support its growing
customer base while sustaining the quality water service that our community and our
ratepayers expect. These high-level strategic objectives are further articulated within the
current Strategic Plan, outlining District-wide accountability, and performance metrics to
measure and improve outcomes.
The success of this approach is proven by the District’s gains in productivity and reduction
in staffing while service growth continues. The District has reduced staffing by 26.75 full-
time equivalent positions, or 15.3%, while the number of customer accounts increased by
5,012, or 10% from 2007 through 2026. The following chart shows that the District’s ratio of
customer accounts per full time employee has increased by 90 or 30% since 2007.

As of June 30, 2023, which is the most recent CalPERS actuarial pension valuation, the
District’s pension plan was 82.7% funded, and the Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB)
plan was 94.0% funded. The District will continue its strategy of advance funding its
unfunded pension and OPEB obligations. The FY 2026 budget includes a $680 thousand
advance contribution to its defined benefit programs. Staff is also recommending to return
the advance funding amount to the $1.3 million level over a period of time. The strategy of
advance funding the District’s unfunded obligations aims to reduce the District’s highest
cost debt. This strategy is aimed to save the ratepayers money and will save the District
approximately $5.5 million over the 12-year advance funding period, which began in 2021.
Other cost savings include a reduction in operating and maintenance costs, fuel
consumption, meters and materials, fees and studies, and decreasing water loss through
the successful leak detection and repair program. Staff continues to seek out other
operational efficiencies, thus decreasing costs and minimizing rate impacts on District
customers.
Based on an annual survey of water and sewer rates conducted by staff, the District has the
tenth lowest water rate out of the 24 agencies in San Diego County (based on the District’s
average water user who uses 10 units of water and has a ¾” residential meter size), and the
fourth lowest sewer rate out of the 28 sewer service providers in the County (based on 9.5
units of water and a ¾” residential meter size). The results of the water and sewer surveys
are shown on pages 34 and 35, respectively.
The following chart shows that since 2007, the wholesale water supply costs have
increased 141.9% and the District’s retail water rates have increased 134.8%.

Wholesale Water Supply Costs vs. District Retail Rate Increases
The District currently delivers water service to 52,070 potable and 818 recycled water
customer accounts. The District purchases all the potable water sold to customers from the
CWA. Seventy-six percent of this water, in turn, is purchased from the region’s primary water
importer, MWD, which derives its supply from the Colorado River and the California State
Water Project. The percentage of water purchased from MWD has decreased significantly
over the last several years due to conservation efforts, the water transfer agreement with
Imperial Irrigation District (IID), the All-American and Coachella lining project agreements,
and the water purchase agreement for water produced at the Carlsbad Desalination Plant.
The District continues its efforts to diversify water resources, reducing dependence on
traditional water supplies from the Colorado River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The District also has been proactive in reducing its dependence on MWD water treatment
facilities. For example, in 2009 the District entered into an agreement with the CWA that
allowed the neighboring Helix Water District to treat imported water on behalf of the District
at Helix’s Levy Water Treatment Plant. This has brought regional water treatment closer to
District customers, which lessens dependence on water treatment facilities located outside
of the County.
The District also collects and recycles wastewater from approximately 4,739 homes and
businesses. The District collects wastewater and delivers it to its Ralph W. Chapman Water
Recycling Facility (Chapman), which is capable of recycling wastewater at a rate of 1.3
million gallons per day. In addition to the Chapman facility, the District continues to
purchase up to 5.6 million gallons per day of recycled water from the City of San Diego’s
South Bay Water Reclamation Plant. The use of recycled water for landscape irrigation and

Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget Summary
The Fiscal Year 2026 budget was prepared with the continuing challenges of potable water
wholesale supplier rate increases, inflation, Proposition 218-related litigation defense, risk
management challenges, additional CIP projects, and legislative initiatives. Additional
challenges are the City of San Diego’s Pure Water program costs, and the County of San
Diego’s rehabilitation of shared facilities.
The District’s operating expenditures consist of three major sectors: potable water, recycled
water, and sewer, totaling $150.1 million of budget expenditures for Fiscal Year 2026.
Revenues from potable and recycled water sales are projected to be $132.8 million,
approximately $11.7 million more than the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. The District projects
sewer revenues to be $3.6 million, a slight increase of $82 thousand when compared to
Fiscal Year 2025. The remaining budgeted revenues of $13.7 million, approximately $230
thousand more than Fiscal Year 2025, come from various special fees, assessments, and
miscellaneous income.
Other significant aspects of the Operating Budget are:
A balanced budget supporting the goals of the Strategic Plan.
An updated six-year Rate Model to ensure sound financial planning and reserve
levels.
Effective 10.4% rate increases from MWD and CWA due to the high cost of supply
programs, higher energy costs, and increasing operating costs.
Implementation of an 8.3% rate increase for potable water, a 3.2% rate increase for
recycled water, and a 5.2% rate increase for sewer, effective January 1, 2026.
Metro sewer costs include the anticipated impact of the City of San Diego’s Pure
Water Program costs.
Fiscal Year 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The CIP budget emphasizes long-term planning for ongoing programs to meet population
growth, facilities replacement, and betterment of infrastructure while functioning within
fiscal constraints. The Fiscal Year 2026 CIP budget contains 143 projects and totals $19.7
million. The District categorizes projects into three business segments: potable water,
recycled water, and sewer. Funding for the Fiscal Year 2026 potable, recycled, and sewer
13
projects are $15.6 million, $1.9 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. CIP projects are also
categorized into three categories: expansion, betterment, or replacement.
The following is a breakdown of the CIP projects into the three categories:
Replacement projects $ 12,231,000
Betterment projects 6,108,000
Expansion projects 1,369,000
Total $ 19,708,000
The Fiscal Year 2026-2031 CIP budget contains 149 projects and totals $185.5 million,
increasing by $14.8 million versus last year. The total water CIP budget for the six-year
period is $166.7 million, which is an $8.8 million increase compared to Fiscal Year 2025,
while the sewer CIP of $18.8 million is increasing $6.0 million compared to Fiscal Year 2025.
The District projects water debt issuances of $30.7 million, $32.6 million, and $37.7 million
in Fiscal Years 2026, 2028, and 2030, respectively. For sewer, a debt issuance of $5.1 million
is projected for FY 2029 and $3.2 million is projected for FY 2031.

Overview
CIP Budget Guide
The District views the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget as an essential tool for proper
financial management of the CIP projects. The District manages growth and maintenance of assets
through this program. The CIP budget is developed with input from the various project managers
throughout the organization and is adopted prior to the start of each fiscal year for the current fiscal
year and five subsequent years. It is designed and presented for the general needs of the District, its
staff, and citizens. It is a comprehensive and balanced financial plan. This plan features the CIP
budget based on the demands for services and the impact on the District’s financial status and future
plans. The budget book is divided into the following sections.
Overview
This introductory section contains general information about the District such as: mission statement,
vision, statement of values, District formation and service area, organizational structure, CIP budget
process, CIP budget calendar, water and sewer rate comparison, economic outlook, and the
District’s strategic planning process and key performance indicators.
Capital Budget
The Capital Budget section consists of an overview of the District’s CIPs, including how the Water
Facilities Master Plan is used to modify the CIP each year based on the latest set of assumptions and
criteria. Also included are highlights of the major CIP projects that are in planning, design,

Overview
District Formation
The Otay Water District was formed in 1956 by a small group of ranchers, farmers, and other property
owners concerned about the declining quality and quantity of well water. The District was
established to serve as a public water and sewer agency, authorized as a California special district
under the provisions of the Municipal Water District Act of 1911. In 1957, developers in south Spring
Valley created the La Presa County Water District to obtain water from the San Diego County Water
Authority (CWA). The CWA is the wholesale water supplier of the member agencies in San Diego
County. In the fall of 1969, Otay Water District and La Presa County Water District merged into the
Otay Water District. Since then, the District has provided high quality water to a semi-arid region of
southeastern San Diego County. In 1971, the District constructed a small collection and treatment
plant for sewer in the northern section of the District, and in 1980 the District opened the Ralph W.
Chapman Water Recycling Facility (RWCWRF). Recycled water from the RWCWRF is used to irrigate
a golf course, schools, public parks, roadway landscapes, and various other approved uses in
eastern Chula Vista. The RWCWRF is capable of recycling wastewater at a rate of 1.3 million gallons
per day (1,200 acre-feet per year). The District is also in partnership with the City of San Diego to
beneficially reuse an additional 2,731 acre-feet per year of recycled water for fiscal year 2026. The
District continues to be the largest retail provider of recycled water in the County of San Diego.
The District also owns and operates a wastewater collection system providing public sewer service
to approximately 4,750 customer accounts within the Jamacha drainage basin. The sewer service
area covers approximately 8,800 acres, which is about 11% of the District’s total service area.
Residential customers comprise 97% of the sewer customer base.
Service Area
The District's boundaries encompass an area of approximately
125.3 square miles or 80,208 acres in San Diego County, lying
immediately east of the City of San Diego metropolitan area and
running from the City of El Cajon south to the international border,
abutting the cities of El Cajon and La Mesa and encompassing most
of the City of Chula Vista and a small portion of the City of San Diego.
The District purchases 100% of its treated water. Regionally, about
67% is imported, which is a blend from the Colorado River and the
California State Water Project. Thirty-three percent of the District’s
treated water comes from local supplies, including groundwater,
local water storage within the county and from the Pacific Ocean via
seawater desalination. The District purchases its treated water from
the San Diego County Water Authority and receives a blend of
treated water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California’s R.A. Skinner Treatment Plant, the San Diego County
Water Authority’s Twin Oaks Valley Water Treatment Plant, the
Carlsbad Desalination Plant, and the Helix Water District’s R.M. Levy
Water Treatment Plant.
26
Overview
Organizational Structure
The District has a five-member Board of Directors that serve four-year, alternating terms on the
Board. Each Director is elected by voters within their respective division boundaries to represent the
public’s interest with regard to rates for service, taxes, policies, ordinances, and other matters related
to the management and operation of the District. The Board generally meets in open public session
on the first Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at the District headquarters located at 2554
Sweetwater Springs Boulevard, Spring Valley, California. Board meetings are live streamed online.

Overview
Budget Process
The District has integrated the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget and the Operating
Budget. These budgets are developed based on the District’s Water Facilities Master Plan, the Sewer
System Management Plan, and Strategic Business Plan. New initiatives and programs are
categorized into the Balanced Scorecard perspectives. Appropriate budget amounts are determined
by using historical data of operations, projected growth, and forecasted needs to support the
District's sustainable service and infrastructure goals.
To assure reliable and high-quality service to the growing customer base, the District has committed
to a number of long-range strategies that drive the budgeting process. The strategies and
assumptions used to develop the District’s six-year integrated budget are:
An average projected long-term growth rate of 0.22%.
Pass-through rate increases for costs imposed on the District by the wholesale water
providers.
Accurate projections of capital budget needs (including replacement needs).
Reserve funding in accordance with the Reserve Policy to meet future growth demands and
maintain financial stability.
Funding of the Strategic Plan initiatives as categorized into the Balanced Scorecard
perspectives.
Avoid rate spikes by leveling rate increases over a six-year period.
The Finance Department prepares the budget for the potable, recycled, and sewer systems. This is
done using estimated changes in costs from the District’s wholesale water providers as well as
estimated changes in sewer charges provided by the County and City of San Diego. Other significant
factors in the budget development include estimated water volumes, water cost projections, debt
Targets
Debt Coverage
Reserve Levels
28
Overview
coverage for current and future debt issuances, reserve levels, projected growth in customer
accounts, and weather. Additionally, all general revenue and expense budgets are calculated using
trend analysis and any external factors that may affect these items.
Personnel Budget(1)
The budgeting of salaries and benefits is performed in the position budgeting module of the
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This tool allows the District to budget for each
authorized position and the associated benefits in an automated fashion. Departments submit
requests for new positions, reclassifications, or advancements to the General Manager. Upon their
approval, the Finance Department enters these changes, as well as negotiated pay increases and
benefit rate changes, into the position budget system. Position budgeting calculates the salaries and
benefits to be included in the District’s budget.
Administrative and Materials and Maintenance Budget(1)
Administrative and Materials and Maintenance expenses are entered into the budget model of the
ERP system by individual department requests. These requests are compared to last year’s budgeted
and actual expenses to determine reasonableness by the Finance Department. All costs are justified
and supported by explanations. Finance compiles the operating budget and submits it to the General
Manager for review prior to presentation to the Board of Directors.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Budget
The Engineering Department issues budget instructions for the CIP budget process. Each year, all
existing CIP projects are reviewed and capital project costs are adjusted and/or closed as
appropriate. This requires each project manager to review the year-to-date project expenses and
then estimate costs to the end of the fiscal year. They also project future costs to complete the project.
Adjustments to capital project expenses include scope changes and/or construction cost increases.
District Chiefs discuss the cost-benefit of projects, evaluate the reasonableness of the project budget,
current and alternate funding source(s) as well as the timing and/or priority of the project. All new
CIP project requests and significant changes to existing projects are reviewed and approved by all
District’s Chiefs and the General Manager. All CIP projects are entered into the CIP Budget
application. The Engineering Department works closely with the Finance Department to finalize the
six-year CIP Program Budget. Finance ensures that the District funding and reserve levels are
maintained in accordance with the District’s policy. Engineering then compiles the six-year CIP
Program Budget and submits it to the General Manager for review prior to presentation to the Board
of Directors.
Budget Control and Jurisdiction
The District has a four-year Strategic Plan, and each year in the spring, the portion of the plan that
pertains to the upcoming fiscal year is presented to the Board of Directors for review and direction.
This is followed by a coordinated presentation of the budget by all departments, to the Board of
Directors for their approval at the Board meeting in June. The review of the Strategic Plan and the
adoption of the budget on an annual basis give the District its direction for the following fiscal year.
(1)The Personnel, Administrative, and Materials and Maintenance budgets are further detailed in the District’s Adopted Operating and
Capital Budget for FY 2025-2026.
29
Overview
During the year, each department receives monthly budget and actual cost reports that are essential
to monitor and control costs. As events occur or conditions change, modifications to or deviations
from the original budget may be necessary. The General Manager has the authority to transfer
appropriations within the budget allocations or request that the Board of Directors increase the
current budget.
Once adopted, District staff allocate the annual budget amounts to months based on historical
trends, the timing of anticipated activities, or a straight-lined approach. On a monthly basis, staff
prepares an operating financial statement comparing year-to-date results to budget, which is
included in the District’s monthly Board package. On a quarterly basis, staff prepares a comparison
of actual to budgeted CIP expenditures, which is also reported to the District’s Board of Directors.
The budget report is intended as a financial guide and may be modified by the Board of Directors
during the fiscal year. All approved modifications to the budget are documented in the form of a staff
report and noted in the Board meeting minutes.
Due to the size of the District’s CIP, a separate budget book has been prepared outlining in detail the
projects and expenditures required to ultimate build-out. A synopsis of the CIP may be found under
the Capital Budget section of this report. As part of the integrated budget, capital purchases have
been included within the CIP Budget.
Budget Basis
The District utilizes the accrual basis for budgeting which is the same as the basis of accounting
used in the audited financial statements, recognizing revenues and expenses in the period in which
they are earned and incurred, regardless of the timing of cash receipts and disbursements. The
District reports its activities in enterprise funds, which is used to account for operations that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise and conforms to the
guidelines of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It is the intent of the District to
recover the costs (including replacement cost of existing assets) of providing goods or services to
the general public on a continuing basis, through financing or primarily through user charges.
Fund Structure
The District operates three major distinct business segments: potable water, recycled water, and
sewer. Each business segment categorizes revenue and expenditure as a function of the Operating
Budget, Capital Improvement Plan Budget, or Developer Deposits. Please refer to the District’s
Reserve Policy, in the Operating and Capital Budget for FY 2025-2026, which provides the detailed
flow of funds.

Overview
Water Rate Comparison, Agency Water Rates (1)
The District strives to remain cost effective in its rate setting by controlling operating costs, yet
passing through the full cost of supply. In September 2025, the District conducted a survey of the
water rates of the water providers within San Diego County. The following chart shows that the
District has the tenth lowest water rate in the region.
Projected Potable Water Ranking January 1, 2026
Based on 10 Units of water used and ¾” residential meter size
*At the time of the survey in September 2025, the agency's FY 2026 rate was unavailable. An estimated increase
was applied equal to the other districts’ average FY 2026 known rate increases.
(1)Only 22 of the 24 agencies are surveyed. Camp Pendleton is not included in this survey due to being a Marine
Corps Base. The City of National City is not included because their water is supplied by Sweetwater.

Overview
San Diego Rainfall
San Diego received below average rainfall of 4.68 inches in Fiscal Year 2025. San Diego's average
rainfall over 10 years is 10.22 inches; the 20-year average is 8.98 inches; the 30-year average is 9.06
inches; and the 40-year average is 9.81 inches.
San Diego rainfall, while a contributing factor, is not the only controlling factor for our potable water
supply shortage. The San Diego region imports 72% of its potable supply, so conditions elsewhere
significantly affect the actual amount of water available to the District. In the event the amount of
water supplied to the District is reduced, water sales revenues would decrease. Related water
purchase expenses would also be reduced, mitigating the impact of the decrease in revenues. The
amount of any supply reduction would dictate the magnitude of the District's response and type of
reaction.
Current Economic Conditions
San Diego County Water Supply
A safe, reliable water supply is crucial for the vitality of the San Diego region’s economy and quality
of life of its residents. San Diego County imports approximately 67% of its water from the Colorado
River and Northern California. Since these sources face legal and environmental constraints, the
region has been making investments in the region’s water delivery and storage system and exploring
other avenues to ensure an adequate water supply. This includes water recycling, water-use
efficiency programs, water storage, groundwater desalination, and seawater desalination.

Overview
Cottonwood Sewer Pump Station
approximately 50 million gallons of water per day to the CWA, enough to serve approximately 400,000
people, meeting more than 10% of the region’s demand. Since the production of desalinated water
from the Carlsbad plant, the District’s customers have received a portion of this highly reliable,
drought-proof water supply. The amount of desalinated water that the District’s customers receive
fluctuates daily based on a variety of factors including the CWA’s potable water demands.
Challenges
The primary challenges for potable and recycled water are wholesale supplier rate increases,
including those directly attributable to CWA, those attributable to MWD that must be passed through
CWA, and increases in the City of San Diego's recycled rates and charges, along with additional CIP
projects, inflation, and legislative initiatives. For sewer, the primary challenges include Proposition
218-related litigation defense, risk management challenges, additional CIP projects, inflation, and
legislative initiatives. the City’s Pure Water Program, the County of San Diego’s rehabilitation of
shared facilities, and increasing CIP costs.
The District is addressing these challenges through careful financial planning, strategic prioritization
of capital projects, and ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency and regulatory compliance, ensuring
reliable service and long-term infrastructure sustainability.
The Future
Capital Improvement Program
The District provides water and sewer service to a
population of approximately 242,155 customers,
including residential, business, government, industrial,
and agricultural water users across urban, suburban,
and rural areas. The District’s service area population is
projected to grow by 12% to 271,500 residents by 2055.
To ensure a reliable water supply and sewer system for
the future including sustaining the current infrastructure,
the District has developed several future planning
documents, which provide a guide to defining the
District’s proposed projects. These planning documents
include: the District’s 2015 Water Facilities Master Plan
Update, Wastewater Management Plan, 2020 Urban
Water Management Plan, 2015 Integrated Water
Resources Plan, and 2023-2026 Strategic Plan.
The major projects planned for delivery over the next six fiscal years include:
Pipeline Replacement Projects (41 Total): Replacement of approximately 41 locations of
potable/recycled pipeline.
Reservoir Construction or Rehabilitation: Construction of two new reservoir and rehabilitation
of three other reservoirs, including the replacements of liner and floating cover.
37
Overview
Meter Replacement: The meter replacement program is an upgrade of all our existing meters
to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters. This includes the replacement of about
51,000 potable and 800 recycled meters over the six year period.
Pump Station Replacement and Rehabilitation: Over the six year period, eleven pump
stations will require upgrades and replacements of critical equipment.
Vehicles and Capital Equipment: Purchase of 51 vehicles for use in District operations 12 field
equipment purchases and 11 standby power supply units .
Reservoir Coatings: The District schedules replacement coatings of steel reservoirs to
prolong the lifespan of the infrastructure. Specialized inspections are done regularly to
ensure the highest priority reservoirs are coated. The six year CIP includes coating of 12
reservoirs.
Valve Replacement: Through the District’s Asset Management Program, information is
collected and analyzed to prioritize valve replacement. The valve replacement program
estimates replacement of more than 400 valves over the six year period.
RWCWRF Treatment: The RWCWRF projects include upgrading to ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection, and improvements and replacements of filter media, tertiary troughs, backwash
supply pumps, blowers, grit chambers, rotary screen replacements, fire sprinkler system, and
stormwater pond improvements.
Future Development
The District’s engineering staff projects that over the next six years, the District will sell another 496
meters which translates to 2,396 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs).
Residential Construction
The following table summarizes the projected new units for sale and new units for rent from Fiscal
Year 2026 through Fiscal Year 2030. The average annual total residential units are projected to be
1,445. The consensus among developers is that future attached projects, including multifamily
rentals, will choose to outfit projects with master water meters and submeters for each unit.

Overview
Strategic Planning Process
Otay Water District’s Strategic Plan (Plan) acts as the roadmap for defining the organization’s
operational objectives and directing the activities of District staff. This plan iteration emerged from
sessions designed to explore current and future opportunities and challenges, utilizing a SWOT
analysis as the framework. This approach allowed the organization to step back from daily activities
and focus on ways to achieve the District’s mission: “To provide exceptional water and wastewater
service to its customers, and to manage District resources in a transparent and fiscally responsible
manner.” As we enter the fourth year of our four-year plan, our commitment to a comprehensive and
balanced approach is unwavering. Using the Balanced Scorecard methodology, this approach,
grounded in prudent financial management and operational excellence, translates the District’s
strategic objectives into performance indicators across the four essential perspectives: Financial,
Customer, Internal Business Processes, and Learning and Growth. These perspectives are the
foundation of our strategic planning efforts, as detailed below:
Customer: Enhance customer satisfaction and build greater trust
Financial: Demonstrate excellence in financial stewardship and accountability
Internal Business Process: Optimize and advance internal process excellence and organizational
performance
Learning and Growth: Foster a foundation focused on people, safety, and environmental awareness
within our organization
As we progress into the last year of our plan, our focus is clear. We are committed to strengthening
our financial analysis for long-term benefits, improving our cybersecurity measures, facilitating
knowledge transfer, and optimizing our asset management program. These goals, along with many
others, are detailed in project charters and aligned with specific performance metrics for each
objective, supporting our mission to provide this essential resource to the communities we serve.
The following pages contain details of the District’s perspectives, goals, key performance indicators,
measurement methods, and targets for each department.

Capital Budget
The District provides water service to a population of approximately 242,155 which is expected to
ultimately increase to 271,500 by the year 2055. This growth, as well as the maintenance of existing
assets, requires a long-term capital planning process. The process is dynamic, due to evolving needs
of the community, water supply issues, and changing regulations. As such, capital planning is part
of the District’s overall strategic planning process. The capital planning process involves identifying
current and future needs and prioritizing them based on certain operating assumptions. The primary
objective of this planning effort is to support an orderly and efficient program of expansion, new water
supply, replacement, and betterment, while maintaining a stable long-range financial plan.
To accommodate growth requires that the District invest approximately $553 million in capital assets
through ultimate build-out. The Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Budget is $19.7 million and the six-year
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) totals $185.5 million. The CIP is consistent with the District's
Water Facilities Master Plan, Sewer System Master Plan, current capacity fees, and the District's
strategic financial objectives. This CIP Budget document contains the descriptions, justifications,
expenditures, and funding for all the identified projects for the next six years.
The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The planning, design, and construction costs of all capital facilities within the three business
segments (potable water, recycled water, and sewer) are allocated to four cost types and
corresponding fund categories: Expansion, Betterment, Replacement, and/or New Water Supply.
The allocation to these four cost types is defined in the District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
and is determined by an engineering analysis that identifies which type of customer will benefit from
each facility, planned or existing. The costs of the capital improvements are borne by either existing
users or by the developing areas, or by a combination of the two, as applicable. Alternative funding
sources are not identified until they have been secured. Any secured alternative funding sources will
be noted in the project schedule. The following are general descriptions of the four fund categories:
Expansion
Facilities required to support new or future users are funded from capacity fees or user rates.
Betterment
Facilities required because of inadequate capacity or new requirements that benefit existing users
are funded from availability, betterment fees, or rates.
Replacement
Facilities required to renew or replace existing facilities that have deteriorated or have exceeded their
useful life are funded from user rates.
New Water Supply
Facilities required to support new sources of water are funded from new supply fees or user rates.
As of November 4, 2020, the collection of the new water supply fee was discontinued. The new
water supply fund will remain until the funds collected from the new water supply fees have been
fully depleted.
54
Capital Budget
Assumptions and Criteria
As a component of the annual budget development process, the Engineering staff update the CIP
budget using the following process:
CIP projects are selected based on the Water Facilities Master Plan (WFMP), the Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP), Sub Area Master Plans (SAMP), Integrated Water
Resources Plan (IRP), Wastewater Management Plan (WWMP), the Cathodic Protection
Plan, the District’s Strategic Plan, and other focused or specific planning documents and
reports to manage growth, maintenance, and the life extension of assets.
The CIP goes through an iterative process to meet the criteria of growth, service levels,
supply targets, and system reliability.
CIP target expenditures for the next six (6) years are refined and used in the rate model.
The following general criteria are used to determine the reasonableness of a project before it is
considered for inclusion within the CIP budget:
Safety and existing facility conditions
Operating system conditions and energy improvements
Water and sewer system deficiencies
Regulatory and permitting requirements
Developer driven requirements
Economic outlook
Growth projections
Water supply diversification goals
Board and management directives
CIP Justification and Impact on Operating Budget
The justification for each project is determined by whether it is required due to growth (Expansion),
new water sources (New Supply), improvements or upgrades (Betterment), or to replace an existing
asset (Replacement). As these projects are completed and placed into service, there may be an
impact on the Operating Budget by increasing costs in the areas of maintenance, energy, or
chemicals as shown on the justification and impact pages in this section.
New CIP projects and projects with material changes are subject to a formal approval process,
whereby the projects are reviewed and approved by each department and a senior management
panel. At each level of review, projects may be dropped or returned for more information. Once a
project has been approved by the department and senior management panel, the project is
forwarded to the General Manager (GM) for approval. Once approved by the GM, projects are added
to the CIP budget.
The Engineering Department evaluates the District’s recent construction and bidding data and
adjusts costs for individual CIP projects as appropriate. Projects are reprioritized based on the
District’s planning documents and to control spending to stabilize water and sewer rates.
55
Capital Budget
Other factors that influence the construction climate are:
Shortage of skilled and unskilled labor
Regional competition for contracting resources
Materials cost escalation due to demand and material shortages
To mitigate the factors that influence the construction climate, Engineering staff utilize value
engineering, which involves reviewing new and existing projects during the design phase to reduce
costs and while maintaining the quality, value, and/or functionality of the capital project. Staff also
identifies projects that can be grouped together to attract bidders, utilizes pre-purchasing of
materials, and adds no-cost time extensions into specs as further mitigation strategies.
Capital Purchases and Facilities
All capital expenditures are in the CIP. This includes capital facilities and capital purchases. Capital
purchases are non-recurring expenditures for assets that cost more than $10,000 each and have an
estimated useful life of two years or more. The capital purchase projects include vehicles, office
equipment, furniture, and field equipment purchases. Capital facility projects are items that exceed
$10,000 or $20,000 for infrastructure related items (as defined under capital equipment on page 377
of the Glossary) and have a useful life of at least two years and the cost is based on current costs.

CIP Justification and Impact on Operating Budget
The following schedule shows anticipated operating costs and savings associated with each project in the CIP. Below is a summary of
each category of new costs that will be impacted. No additional revenues are associated with the individual projects, as revenues are
linked more directly to growth in water sales and capacity fee revenues.

CIP Project Sheet Description
The following pages describe each information item on the individual CIP project sheets included
in this section.
CIP Number: The CIP project number for all projects is assigned by the Engineering Project
Manager, and is a unique identifying code on all District records for the specified project. The
District employs a CIP naming convention that begins with “P”, “R”, or “S” to signify potable,
recycled, or sewer, respectively. The naming approach simplifies identification of projects
associated with the District’s three major funds.
Project Title: Project titles follow a set format as described herein. The type of project should be
identified first. For example, if a project were a 711 Pressure Zone 24-inch pipeline, the title would
read “PL - 24-Inch, 711 Zone, Location - From A to B.” Pump stations and reservoirs are identified
similarly with abbreviations for type and size.
Director Division: All projects are located within a Board of Director’s division boundary unless they
apply to the entire District or are outside of the District boundaries. The Director division where the
majority of the physical project is located is listed. If it is a District-wide project it is listed as “District-
wide.” If it is outside the District boundary it is listed as “None.”
Project Manager: The person responsible for managing the project from inception through
completion.
I.D. Location: Most projects are located within one or more improvement districts. The I.D. location
listed is where the majority of the physical project is located. However, projects located in portions
of the District which have not yet been annexed into an improvement district are listed as “None.”
Original Approved Date: The date the project was originally approved with budget expenditures
for the corresponding fiscal year by the Board of Directors.
Priority: The priority of the project is listed in this field as one of the following:
1. HIGH: Safety, restoration of service to customers, obligation that requires immediate
action, directed by the Board of Directors, and/or critical system need.
2. MEDIUM: Upgrade of system or expansion requirement to maintain system
reliability not critical. Identified through planning effort as required within next few
fiscal years.
3. LOW: Identified through planning effort as required in future years to support
development; not anticipated in the immediate future.
4. VERY LOW: Requirement may have low probability of need in the future.
Related CIP Projects: A maximum of three CIP project numbers that affect the scheduling and/or
related to the subject project and/or could provide important information.
Budget Amount: The estimated budget includes all costs needed to complete a project including
land, right-of-way, consultants, contractors, District staff time, etc. All prior years’ costs are part of
the total cost and dollars are rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
70
CIP Project Sheet Description
Description of Project: A brief description of a project which typically includes size, length,
capacity, etc.
Justification of Project: A brief explanation of why a project is required which addresses flexibility,
reliability, water quality, safety, contractual obligation, immediate growth, etc., as appropriate.
Comments: Pertinent information that should be known about a project that is not shown
elsewhere on the project sheet, including details of funding sources, including grant funding or
contributions from other agencies.
Funding Detail: The funding sources are listed along with the percentage of distribution to
expansion, betterment, and/or replacement.
Expenditure Schedule: The breakdown of a project’s expenditures by fiscal year – prior years’ cost
along with a six-year budget schedule. Included in each year are all costs to complete the work
scheduled in that year rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
Project Schedule: The schedule of the primary project phase and estimated cost by the phases of
planning, design, and construction shown with the estimated start date (month/year), finish date
(month/year). The schedule time frames and estimated cost for each major phase of the project,
correspond with the expenditure schedule information.
Projected Incremental Operation Expenditures Schedule: To determine the cost to maintain
these new assets, the District looks at the cost of maintaining similar assets through the
Infrastructure Management System and financial system. Costs are tracked by three main
infrastructure asset groups of pipes, pump stations, and reservoirs, as well as capital purchases
and other types. Pipes typically have only operation and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with
them, pump stations have O&M as well as power cost, and reservoirs have O&M and chemical
cost. Each of the capital purchases and other types has its own unique O&M cost.
Project Location: A vicinity map is drawn in AutoCAD format using the GIS database as the
foundation showing the approximate location and limits of a project within the District. Some
projects do not have a specific location. In this case, a map of the entire District will then be shown
as the project location.
OWD Map Book: The page in the District’s facility map book where a project is primarily located.
Some projects do not have a specific location in which case the words “district-wide” will be
shown.
Submitted By: The project manager who originally submitted or the project manager who revised
the project sheet along with the date of submittal or last revision date of the CIP project sheet.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution Storage
This project is for the construction of a 0.5-million-gallon Reservoir and approximately 1,500 feet of 12-inch pipeline to connect to
the existing system at Presilla Drive. These improvements are located within the Rancho Jamul Estates area.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The project will increase both system reliability and service capabilities and provide improved fire protection for the Rancho
Jamul Estates area within the 1655 Pressure Zone. The existing system is currently served by a Hydropneumatic Pump Station.
The Board agreed they would build the Reservoir as part of an exchange for land in the early 2000's.
COMMENTS:
FY 2017 - In early 2000, the project was designed to 90%, and due to the economy, the project was put on hold. The overall
budget was increased to account for the spending done prior to FY 2015. The project budget increased $1.2M after receiving a
preliminary cost estimate from a concrete tank manufacturer and updating cost estimates from the estimate done in 2000. The
concrete tank will have to be a Type I due to location and steep grades. Also, added updated costs for Reservoir security items.
FY 2020 - Budget was increased $1.1M, based on current bidding costs. This is a pre-planning budget.
FY 2021 - Revised budget with new estimate on tank, pipeline, and road construction.
FY 2024 - Project budget adjusted from $5.75M to $7.3M to account for adjusted Brady 30% cost estimate.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
The first phase of this project is for the replacement of approximately 1,600 feet of existing 12-inch potable water pipeline within
the 1296 Pressure Zone in Proctor Valley Road. This pipeline was identified in the 2015 Water Facilities Master Plan Update to
be replaced with a 20-inch pipeline (P2058 and P2171).
The first phase will replace the existing 12-inch pipeline starting at the end of an existing 12-inch PVC pipeline approximately
1,090 feet north of the Proctor Valley Road and Melody Road intersection with a 20-inch pipeline, approximately 1,600 feet in
length to the Proctor Valley Road and Schlee Canyon Road intersection. Approximately eighteen (18) water services will be
replaced with the first phase.
Future phases will replace the balance of the existing pipeline north to Highway 94 and south to Melody Road.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This potable water pipeline was installed in 1962 and is nearing the end of its useful life. This section of pipe has been repaired
three (3) times. In 2015, a water service connection break was repaired. Additional repairs were made in 2020 to fix a water
service connection leak and, later in the same year, a pipeline leak. Other segments of this 1962-era pipe have also been
repaired and are scheduled to be replaced with this project (see CIP P2171).
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - The estimated annual cost for these two (2) pipelines (P2058 & P2171) is $50K/year ($1.25M+$2.5M/75 years). The
actual annual cost for repairs and insurance claims for the last eleven (11) years has averaged $28K/year and has been as high
as $162K per event.
FY 2024 - Budget increased from $1.25M to $2.75M to reflect pipe size increase, steel pipe construction, and current material
pricing.
FY 2026 - Budget increased from $2.75M to $3.50M to reflect projected cost to construct the project.

This project will replace approximately 4,100 LF of existing 18-inch pipeline. The pipeline was identified in the 2015 Water
Facilities Master Plan Update to be replaced with a 24-inch pipeline.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The potable water pipeline was installed in 1961 and is nearing the end of its useful life and provides the only supply of potable
water to the Regulatory System in Jamul. Crossing of Sweetwater River results in a high construction cost than the standard
normal installation pricing formula.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - The early planning phase will look at alternative alignments across the Sweetwater River and the environmental
studies needed to support the project. The initial condition assessment work on the existing pipelines will determine the timing,
scope, and necessity of the CIP.
FY 2024 - Budget increased from $6.1M to $9.5M to reflect steel pipe construction, river crossing, and current material pricing.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Storage
This project is for construction of a 3.4-million-gallon (MG) Type 1 concrete reservoir.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The 3.4 MG volume was calculated from typical pressure zone storage requirements routinely estimated as part of the District's
Water Facilities Master Plan (WFMP) revisions. The 3.4 MG volume accounts for the District's WFMP Update consultant (Hazen
Sawyer) ultimate (year 2055) 870 Pressure Zone demand projections and conservation predictions. The 3.4 MG volume also
accounts for actual 870 Pressure Zone peaking factors calculated by District Engineering staff utilizing historic data logs from a
flow meter that monitors 870 Pressure Zone demand. The previous (2015) WFMP Update included an 870-2 Reservoir sized at 7
or 10 MG and designated as CIP P2228; however, the reservoir size has been optimized at 3.4 MG through the ongoing WFMP
Update. The in-progress WFMP Update will reflect 3.4 MG.
A second reservoir within the 870 Pressure Zone is also needed for redundancy. Maintenance work at the existing 870-1
Reservoir has previously been deferred because it is not currently feasible to isolate the existing 870-1 Reservoir considering that
the 870 Pressure Zone serving Otay Mesa has evolved into a large and complex zone with highly variable demands. The 870
Pressure Zone is currently fed by a single reservoir (870-1 Reservoir) with no redundancy. Construction of the 870-2 Reservoir
will enable the replacement of the 870-1 Reservoir floating cover and liner (CIP P2563).
COMMENTS:
FY 2025 - Budget increased from $11M to $15.1M, accounting for:
• change concrete tank specialty contractor budget estimate (+$1.3M)
• repair subgrade and repave all existing access roads in the existing yard (+$330K)
• add yard lighting and convenience outlets (+$60K)
• add existing yard gate automation (+$20K)
• add remote control function to altitude valve (+$15K)
• existing building improvements (demo of existing abandoned equipment, replace existing (panel) (+$35K)
• other refinements to the consultant's previous construction cost estimate (+$1.5M)
• consultant 15% contingency added to construction items listed above (+$490K)
• increase steel pipe unit cost due to pipe manufacturer going out of business (+$300K)
• consultant design fee changes (+$50K)
- On 9/4/2024, the Board approved a budget increase of $2,388,000 to $17,488,325.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution
This project is for the construction of a Pressure Reducing Station (PRS) between the 624/340 Pressure Zone near the
intersection of Otay Valley Road/Main Street and Heritage Road.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This will provide a redundant service connection to the 340 Pressure Zone. The current pipeline is an environmentally sensitive
area and not in the street. CIP P2553 will install a new pipe and allow redundant delivery through the proposed Heritage Road
Bridge replacement.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Approximately 1,200 linear feet (LF) of 12-inch PVC pipe (at $62/Inch/LF) and $600K for the PRS with SCADA
communication is the basis for the $1.5M budget.
FY 2024 - Budget decreased from $1.5M to $1.0M to reflect piping being installed under CIP P2553.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

The Otay Water District (District) could potentially receive a potable water supply source from the planned Rosarito Desalination
Facility via a conveyance system, pumping facilities, and disinfection system.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The concept could provide for an independent water source to the District.
COMMENTS:
FY 2007 - Original Budget amount approved 5/23/2006 for $1M.
FY 2009 - Budget increase approved 6/25/2008 to $5M.
FY 2010 - Budget increase approved 5/21/2009 to $30M.
FY 2020 - After discussions with DDW in May 2013, UV disinfection was estimated to cost $3.7M. Updating this estimate to
January 2019, the cost of UV is estimated to cost $4.3M. A Pump Station is not expected to be required since the HGL needed
to pump from Rosarito to the border will exceed the elevation of District facilities. The conveyance pipeline is estimated to be
21,100 linear feet (LF). A 24-inch pipeline could convey 12 MGD and at $62/Inch/LF will cost $31.4M. Updating these estimates
to January 2019, the cost was increased to $35.7M ($4.3M for UV and $31.4M for Conveyance Pipeline).

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
This project is for the steel trestle demolition and removal of a pipeline. The 1960's steel trestle 24-inch pipeline crossing of Otay
River was replaced by the Central Area and Otay Mesa Interconnection Pipeline in 2001. The trestle also carries a high-pressure
gas line that supplies the 870-1 Pump Station that prevented the trestle from being demolished previously. SDG&E abandoned
this gas line in 2017 and replaced it with a feed from the south.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing pipeline is no longer in service and should be removed to address liability concerns. The pipeline runs over a
canyon and there are concerns that unauthorized individuals could gain access. The pipeline is in an environmentally sensitive
area and becoming increasingly difficult to access. The Central Area - Otay Mesa Interconnection Pipeline supplies water to the
Otay Mesa System.
COMMENTS:
FY 2019 - Demolition of the trestle has been delayed until the completion of the 870-2 Pump Station Replacement project to
avoid area access conflicts. This also provides time for an environmental study ($100K) to be prepared for the project starting
Spring 2020 and assess potential site access concerns.
FY 2021 - Assumptions of road improvements to the site and environmental monitoring have been made for budget purposes.
Due to limited access during breeding seasons, construction duration is expected to be two (2) years.
FY 2023 - Additional environmental surveys and permitting with the City of Chula Vista will delay the construction until FY 2024.
FY 2024 - Budget increased from $750K to $900K to account for additional environmental work performed and anticipated during
demolition work including hazardous materials handling. Also, early 2023 storms have degraded the access roads to the site
greatly requiring additional funds to address this issue. Demolition will be in FY 2025 for adequate time to obtain City of Chula
Vista agreements for Right-of-Entry and Grading.

This project is for the retrofit and upgrade of approximately fifty (50) large meter vaults to either above-ground conditions or
eliminate the confined space depth.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing large meters are installed in below-grade vaults, which creates increased costs and requires extra precautions for
safety due to confined space requirements. Some of the existing below-grade systems are subject to flooding and create
corrosive environments.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - Project has been replacing and upgrading meter vaults since FY 2017, with completion expected in FY 2025.
FY 2024 - Project budget increased from $620K to $710K as the cost of meters has increased in the last three (3) years.
FY 2025 - Vaults continue to age and require upgrades and replacement so money should be programmed in the budget each
year.
FY 2026 - Overall budget increased from $710K to $750K to reflect extension of CIP for another year.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution
The existing 16-inch potable water pipeline to North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre (formerly known as Sleep Train
Amphitheatre) and Sesame Place (formerly known as Aquatica San Diego), a SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment water park,
was built under the Otay River.
The City of Chula Vista is planning to replace the Heritage Road Bridge (Project No. STM-364). The Otay Water District (District)
has requested the City to reserve room in the bridge for a 16-inch steel pipeline for potable water use and an 8-inch pipeline for
future recycled water use. In addition to the bridge crossing, approximately 1,600 linear feet of 16-inch potable water pipeline is
required. An existing 16-inch ACP pipeline in Otay River will be abandoned or converted to recycled water use.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
A new bridge crossing of the Otay River at Heritage Road provides an opportunity for the District to relocate a pipeline out of the
river into a more secure location and also provides an economical way to build a recycled water pipeline to these commercial
customers. The current pipeline is in an environmentally sensitive area. The timing of the project will coincide with the City of
Chula Vista's construction.
COMMENTS:
FY 2016 - Budget increased from $1.2M to $1.43M to reflect latest projected costs and scope of work.
FY 2020 - Budget increased for 3,000 linear feet (LF) of 16-inch PVC pipe and 700 LF of 8-inch PVC (recycled) (at $62/inch/LF)
is the basis for the $3.5M budget.
FY 2021 - Budget increased to $5.05M to reflect cost increases for similar bridge pipeline projects.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Storage
This project is for the replacement of the existing membrane floating cover and liner with a new membrane system. The project
also includes lowering the existing reservoir 30-inch inlet pipe.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing 1988 era membrane floating cover and liner have reached the end of their useful lives and require replacement to
meet regulatory requirements.
The existing reservoir inlet pipe has hydraulic challenges since the reservoir is normally operated below an existing high point in
the existing inlet pipe. Lowering the existing reservoir pipe will enable the existing 870-1 and future 870-2 reservoirs to fill evenly.
Lowering the existing reservoir inlet pipe will also improve operational flexibility to isolate reservoir outlet piping.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - Project budget adjusted from $2.70M to $3.50M. This includes $100K increase for planning of temporary and/or
permanent 870 Pressure Zone improvement alternatives to support this CIP.
FY 2023 - Project budget adjusted from $3.5M to $5.7M. This includes changes associated with small reservoir (from temporary
bolted steel to permanent Type 1 concrete, changing back from 0.5MG to 0.3MG), yard piping improvements such as separate
inlet and outlet piping, and plumbing overflow drain piping to existing 870-1 Reservoir drain headwall.
FY 2024 - Project budget adjusted from $5.7M to $3.5M since a new CIP was created for the 870-2 sized at 3.4MG. The 0.3 MG
Type I concrete tank and 870-2 PS retrofit with VFD driven pump was also removed from this CIP.
FY 2025 - Budget increased from $3.5M to $4.45M accounting for - 1) repair sub grade and add repaving existing reservoir
perimeter road (+$150K), 2) add yard lighting and convenience outlets (+$60K), 3) add remote control function to altitude valve
(+$15K), 4) existing perimeter road gate automation (+$20K), 5) other refinements to previous construction cost estimate
(+$265K), 6) consultant 15% contingency added to construction items listed above (+$80K), 7) increase steel pipe unit cost due
to pipe manufacturer going out of business (+$40K), 8) consultant design fee changes (+$70K), 9) 2/14/2024 updated budget
estimate from floating cover contractor, Layfield (+$250K).
- On 9/4/24 the board approved a budget increase of $2,052,000 from $4,445,000 to $6,496,770.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
This project is for the replacement and enhancement of the infrastructure components for the Data Center Network.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Data Center Network infrastructure upgrade plans for enhancements and replacements. Some of the components that support
the Otay Water District’s (District) business operations require upgrades and/or replacements. The District’s data Storage Area
Network (SAN) is reaching its end of serviceable life. The Tegile Manufactured System's SAN will not be supported as of Fiscal
Year 2020 and requires replacement. Additional components of the Data Center will also require extensive upgrades. Most of
the hardware was replaced in 2014 and based on industry standards of a four (4) - six (6) year replacement refresh cycle, will
need to be upgraded or replaced. The aging devices/hardware expose the District to the threat of unsupported infrastructure and
new replacements would be costly. The District's operations depend on these components for business continuity and service
reliability.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 – Updated request for funding for current CIP. Based on internal discussion with team members and project
deployment, an increase of $250K for additional funding is requested:
P2571 – Data Center Network Storage and Infrastructure Enhancements (+$40K additional for FY 2020)
· FY 2021 – (+$260K) - this increase will support the continued efforts for the replacement of the District’s current Storage
Hardware and associated equipment.
· FY 2022 – (+$30K) - this increase will support the District’s core network hardware devices and associated equipment.
FY 2021 - Revised distribution: FY 2021=$130K; FY 2022=$130K; FY 2023=$30K
FY 2023 - Increase project budget from $450K to $530K to complete upgrades.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

Staff embarked on both an RFI for the Utility Billing System and an upgrade path from Tyler Eden to Tyler Munis for the
organization’s Financial Record keeping and management.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Currently, Tyler Eden is due to sunset March 1, 2027. The project timeline for the Financial (ERP) path is 18 to 24 months in
duration.
COMMENTS:
FY 2017 - Staff will start the discovery process in FY 2020 to identify possible alternatives for a new system. Given the history of
the current solution, Eden, staff anticipates that FY 2021 will be appropriate for a replacement. In FY 2021, the District will have
been utilizing the Eden financials for over fifteen (15) years. In the interim, staff will conduct research based on the District's
current technology infrastructure for best fit for conversion of historical data, proper workflow and security, and templates for
utility billing and invoicing.
FY 2019 - Staff will start the discovery process in FY 2020 to include needs assessment and evaluation of the District’s current
Financial Management solution. The ERP assessment will provide information needed to function effectively and to decide if the
current system is meeting the District’s business needs. Staff anticipates the assessment conducted will measure current District
operational strategies, business processes, and identify opportunities for margin improvement and risk reduction. Post
assessment, the selected vendor will produce a road map showing areas of potential improvement through planning, service,
and quality, and align with the District’s strategy and goals.
FY 2020 - The original budget for FY 2019 was $0.5M and was increased on 2/4/19 to $1.6M. The increase in budget is a result
in the change in scope from a short-term replacement to a long-term replacement over many years.
FY 2024 - Staff embarked on both an RFI for the Utility Billing System and an upgrade path from Tyler Eden to Tyler Munis for
the organization’s Financial Record keeping and management. Annual costs will be shifted to the operating budget and the CIP
budget lowered to $795K.
FY 2025 - The Board approved a budget increase of $197,650.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Pumping
This project is for the construction of a new Pump Station to expand the existing Pump Station from the current capacity of 10,000
GPM to at least 14,000 GPM. New facilities will be designed for simplifying future replacement of the existing Pump Station.
The project also includes a pilot to restore the original capacity of the pump station by replacing a single pump and reconfiguring
its discharge and suction piping. If the pilot goes well, the budget for this CIP will be reduced to replace and reconfigure
remaining existing pumps rather than construct new facilities.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing Pump Station was de-rated in 2010 to resolve vibration and cavitation issues. The current Pump Station is not
capable of meeting the required flow rates for daily demands that are anticipated to meet growth in Villages 4, 8, 9, and 3. The
timing of this project coincides with the related development.
A review of the existing Pump Station indicates it is not at the end of its life expectancy. The Pump Station can be incorporated
into an expansion as there is adequate space at the site to facilitate the project. Alternatively, if the above-described pilot goes
well, the remaining pumps will be replaced at less than half the budgeted amount for this CIP.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - Project budget increased from $13M to $16M to reflect current pricing.
FY 2022 - Project budget decreased from $16M to $8M as scope of work changed to reflect a minimum 4,000 GPM expansion.

COSS Functional Category: Meters and Services
This project is for the replacement of water meters 3-inch or larger.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Of the 219 large meters in the ground, 105 are no longer repairable and must be replaced. Through FY 2020, a majority of the
meters have been replaced under this CIP. Staff has identified six (6) meters that will be replaced in 2020 and has revised the
CIP budget to include these.
Large meters typically have a life cycle of five (5) to seven (7) years. Based on prior replacements, staff anticipates another
round of replacements beginning in FY 2024. This includes three (3) 10-inch meters (approximately $20K each).
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Increase budget from $690K to $730K to replace additional meters; project expenditures at this time have reached
$495K.
FY 2024 - Increased budget from $730K to $815K as the cost of meters has increased in the last three (3) years.
FY 2025 - Meters changed in FY 2015-2019 will start to need to be replaced plus we have large temporary meters that are over
15 years old that need replacement and meter prices have increased, which increased overall costs for each year. The total
budget increased from $815,000 to $910,000.
FY 2026 - Overall budget increased from $910K to $970K to reflect extension of CIP another year.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution
The project will improve fire flows on this section of water line by increasing the size of the pipeline. The preferred alternative is
to replace the existing water line with about 1,300 feet of a higher pressure rated 8-inch pipeline and provide individual residential
pressure reducing valves (PRVs). 1,300 feet is the length needed to replace this section of Coronado Avenue.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Improved fire flow is recommended on the existing water line in the 657 Pressure Zone. Moving this portion of the water system
to a higher-pressure zone will resolve this issue.
COMMENTS:
FY 2018 - Recommendation to improve fire flow made during modeling of moving the 657 PZ to the 640 PZ.
FY 2020 - 1,300 linear feet (LF) of replacement and 300 LF of new 8-inch PVC pipe (at $62/inch/LF) extended outreach, new
PRVs is the basis for the $820K budget.
FY 2021 - The construction contract for the first phase was awarded by the Board on 3/11/2020 and the staff report for the award
of Phase I noted a budget increase for Phase II would be made during the FY 2021 budget process.
FY 2026 - Budget increased from $1.8M to $2.36M to reflect current engineer's estimate to construct pipeline with additional
information from 60% design level plans.

This project is for the replacement of approximately 0.5 miles (2,750 ft +/-) of 12-inch and 14-inch potable water main within the
803 and 978 Pressure Zones (PZ) in Vista Grande. Project extends from Townsend Place to the 978-1 Pump Station (PS) site in
the 803 Pressure Zone (PZ) and from the 978-1 PS site to Paseo Grande in the 978 PZ.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This project will replace thin wall, 1959-60 era, steel pipe originally constructed under As-Built number 01-03. Two (2) of the
original four (4) miles of thin wall steel pipe have been replaced through separate CIP and developer projects. The remaining
2.1 miles of pipe have developed several water main breaks including semi-localized coating failures and corrosion of the thin
wall steel can. This is the last of the projects for this pipeline replacement.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - The County resealed this section of Vista Grande in December 2018, which has a three (3) year moratorium before the
Otay Water District can disturb the road without having to perform a full width restoration. As potholing will be required during
the design phase, the project has been delayed past the preliminary design phase until FY 2022.
FY 2021 - The project is located close to an elementary school that will restrict working hours during the school year, increasing
the construction cost due to lower productivity per day.
FY 2026 - Budget increased from $2.6M to $3.855M to reflect current engineer's estimate to construct pipeline with additional
information from 60% design level plans.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
Replace approximately sixty (60) existing 4-inch combination air/vacuum valves with surge type (slow closing) combination
air/vacuum valves on the Central Area to Otay Mesa Interconnection Pipelines. Replace existing valve enclosures as needed.
Relocate approximately thirteen (13) existing air/vacuum valves located in vaults to an above ground location.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
A transient surge analysis for the new 870-2 Pump Station project identified existing combination air/vacuum valves, which need
to be replaced with surge type (slow closing) valves. Existing air/vacuum valve enclosures will need to be replaced since some
are corroded and others are too short for the taller replacement valves. This will reduce the risk of damage to existing
infrastructure that could lead to pipe failure. Existing air/vacuum valves located in vaults should be relocated to an above ground
location per current health department requirements.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Project budget increased from $270K to $500K to include relocation of thirteen (13) existing air/vacuum valves located
in vaults to an above ground location.
FY 2021 - Project budget increased from $500K to $600K to reflect current pricing.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Treatment
This project is to standardize the disinfection station located at the 624-3 Reservoir. The 624-3 Reservoir is a 30-million-gallon
potable storage and disinfection facility located in Chula Vista that receives water from Water Authority FCF #12, which is then
pumped and/or gravity fed to other reservoir facilities to meet water demands. The 624-3 Reservoir has a boosting disinfection
station that is able to bring up the chlorine residual to a more stable and higher residual that will endure throughout the
distribution system to maintain water quality. The chlorine and ammonia pumps are manually operated and must be adjusted
every time a flow change is requested from San Diego County Water Authority. This process is usually done once per day and it
takes about an hour to complete.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The Otay Water District (District) currently has two (2) other disinfection facilities in operation that are automated with chemical
pumps that automatically adjust to achieve the desired chlorine residual to maintain water quality and meet EPA and State
requirements. This allows the Water System Operators to have the flexibility of requesting flow changes and not physically be at
the disinfection facility, but rather monitor remotely via SCADA and respond if needed. This project will automate the chemical
delivery system and will provide the Water System Operators more operational flexibility, increase efficiency, and reduce
operational costs and overtime.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Automating the chemical system at the 624-3 Reservoir is considered as an option as it will standardize the operation
of the disinfection system throughout the District. Updated budget for current bidding climate and increased material costs.

Throughout the Administration and Operations main campus, replace deteriorated irrigation systems; upgrade and calibrate
irrigation controls for optimal water usage; replace eroded slope areas along customer driveway, public and employee parking,
and equipment lots; install hard and soft ground cover for effective erosion control; remove and replace dead and dying trees;
restore plantings based on original architectural material schedules.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Much of the existing irrigation systems, remaining plants, and hardscape at the Administration campus are the from the original
1998 construction and are in need of replacement and replanting. The slopes along driveways and parking areas have eroded,
affecting sidewalks, fence posts, and other landscape materials. Age and drought have negatively impacted several trees and
other original plantings. The result is a deteriorating appearance in public facing and employee surroundings throughout the
main campus.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - The completion of Phase 1 of improvements (Admin entrance and parking area) expected in FY 2023 at a cost of
$225K. The remaining improvements to the Administration and Operations campus' are estimated at $175K, resulting in the
overall budget to be increased from $186K to $400K.
FY 2024 – Operations flooring, Conference Room, and SCADA update, and adding eight (8) Water Operations workstations -
$175K; FY 2025 second phase Admin landscape improvements, lunchroom, garden, employee parking, and upper lots - $220K.
Overall budget increase to $745K.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Pumping
Replace the existing Hydropneumatic Pump Station (PS) which serves the small 1530 Pressure Zone (PZ) containing
approximately thirty-five (35) potable water meters and four (4) hydrants.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The original 1966 era PS was retrofitted with a fire pump in the late 1980's, at which time all electrical gear was replaced and a
generator was installed. The existing PS has an ongoing water quality (entrained air) issue observed within the PS and the small
1530 PZ it serves. The existing PS is nearing the end of its useful life.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Project budget increased from $2.5M to $2.8M to reflect current pricing. Replacement of the generator will be done
through a separate CIP.
FY 2022 - Project budget increased from $2.8M to $2.9M to increase the footprint of the site and replace/enlarge existing site
retaining walls.
FY 2023 - Project budget increased from $2.8M to $3.7M to reflect consultant construction cost estimate and environmental.
FY 2025 - Project budget increased from $3.7M to $4.2M to reflect current pricing.
FY 2026 - The project scope reduced to the replacement of the domestic service pumps and the hydropneumatic tank installed in
the 1960s. The budget was reduced from $4.2M to $2.5M. A District-wide evaluation of reliability criteria will be in the Water
Facilities Master Plan (WFMP) Update (initiated at the end of FY 2025) and will include fire prevention/suppression
considerations. Modifications to address new or modified criteria will then be incorporated into the CIP. The change in scope
allows for the replacement of the aging infrastructure and will ensure reliability for daily domestic needs before the WFMP criteria
evaluation is completed.

Replace the existing Hydropneumatic Pump Station (PS) with a new PS coordinated with a separate CIP P2040 (1655-1
Reservoir) project. The existing PS currently serves approximately twenty-five (25) meters and eleven (11) hydrants.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing 1655 Pressure Zone will change from a closed Hydropneumatic system to a gravity system when the future 1655-1
Reservoir is constructed (CIP P2040). The existing Rancho Jamul Hydropneumatic PS will need to be modified to pump to the
future 1655-1 Reservoir. The existing 1979-era PS is nearing the end of its useful life.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - An assessment of the existing PS will be prepared before the design for the replacement PS begins and rescheduled,
if needed. Replacement of this PS may be facilitated by the procurement of a Portable Trailer Mounted Variable Frequency

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Energy
Update the 2004 design report for the conversion of the 520 Pressure Zone (PZ) to 640 HGL to look at existing pipeline pressure
class, the approximately seventy-seven (77) commercial and multi-family potable water service connections, and the 832-1 Pump
Station (PS) modifications needed to convert this PZ. The report will also study the emergency storage requirements for this PZ
and make recommendations for both the 5.1 MG 520-2 and the 20 MG 520-3 Reservoirs.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The 5.1 MG 520-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coatings and Upgrade project (P2566) is scheduled for construction in FY 2021.
The northern service area of the District has sufficient storage so staff is recommending cancelling this $1.5M CIP and to spend
this savings to study this PZ conversion. The 850-2 and 803-1 PSs have already been modified to operate under the 640 HGL
suction pressure. Adding a third PS to take suction from the higher pressure will also save energy costs.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - The 2004 design report suggested the 832-1 PS could be modified to take 640 HGL suction pressures by removing
one of four stages in the vertical turbine pumps. There are two (2) full diameter impellers and two (2) trimmed impellers in each
pump at this Station. One (1) full diameter impeller would need to be taken out to operate under the 640 HGL suction pressure.
The pumps were estimated to operate at an efficiency of 85% and at the time this 2004 design report was prepared was
estimated to have a rated capacity of 2650 GPM @ 252' TDH. If converted, the pumps will not be able to take 520 HGL suction
pressure. Since the 832-1 PS presently has three (3) pumps with the capability to add three (3) additional pumps, the Station
could be converted to have two (2) pumps operate from the 520 HGL suction pressure and four (4) pumps operate from the 640
HGL suction pressure or vice versa.

Amend or replace existing interconnection agreement with the City of San Diego with a new agreement to provide flow to the
Otay Water District (District). Move the City’s existing controls/SCADA cabinet from the below grade vault above ground.
Restore the District’s monitoring/SCADA equipment above ground.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
A District trailer pump deployed at the intersection of Otay Mesa Road and Heritage Road would become the sole backup to the
existing High/Low Head Pump Stations (and future 870-2 Pump Station) to serve the 870-1 (Upper) Reservoir. The existing
interconnect was constructed and funded by the City for the benefit of the City in 2002. The existing interconnect was built with
pump connections for the District; however, the existing interconnect agreement was silent on flow to the District. The City’s
controls/SCADA gear within a cabinet (e.g., PLC, radio, Cla-Val 131VC controllers) is insecurely held by a rope and should be
moved above ground to reduce risk of damage due to flooding. The contents of the District’s monitoring/SCADA cabinet were
stripped from the facility.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - The District will take the lead on the design/bidding/construction effort and provide 100% of the funding since the
District did not fund the original interconnect.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution
Determine the remaining useful life of existing AC pipelines installed in 1959 and develop a strategy for the improvement of the
water system that serves the area between Kempton Street, Grand Avenue, Jamacha Road, and San Francisco Street.
Improvements will include the replacement of gate valves (estimated 47 valves) and 6-inch AC pipelines (approximately 1,000
linear feet) with 8-inch PVC pipelines to improve fire flow in this area. Also, included is a pipeline relocation on Kempton Street
for a County culvert improvement project.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
These pipelines serve a mix of residential and commercial properties and approximately 240 water services. Replacement of
existing 6-inch AC pipelines with 8-inch PVC pipelines will improve fire flow in this older service area of the Otay Water District
(District). Replacing gate valves will improve the resiliency of the system and allow the District to maximize the useful lives of the
existing AC pipelines.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
Renovation of the desilting basins at the Otay Water District’s (District) Regulatory site consists of installing water/solids
separating equipment in the two (2) basin separation walls between the three (3) basin sections where existing wood planks are
located. Debris from Vactor trucks will be allowed to settle and water drained through the process to allow for the discharge from
the basin to meet water quality requirements.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The desilting basins are used to receive Vactor truck debris from potable water related activities with settling out of solids and
decanting of water to the sanitary sewer system. The current arrangement of wood planks does not allow for efficient operation
of the basins as the planks are too large and heavy to move without heavy equipment. This provides excessive holding times for
the basins and does not provide any drying time for the settled solids. Operation of the desilting basins has been modified to
provide better functioning given the constraints of the existing arrangement, but the effluent from the basins is not complying with
the requirements of the District’s Code of Ordinances, with characteristics of high inorganic content and Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) exceeding 1,000 mg/l. The plant experiences noticeable TSS spikes when the basin is used, creating issues with meeting
the permit turbidity limits.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - Use of filtration fabrics is being tested for efficiency and durability as the use of weir gates was not compatible with the
existing basin configuration.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
This project is for audio visual enhancements to the District Board Room.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The District Board room currently lacks updated video recording capability and the ability to webcast hearings in progress. Staff
is having an increasingly hard time replacing the items without losing functionality. The main issue is that the backbone of the
system is analog, which causes difficulty finding replacement parts. Some of the issues are listed below:
1. The system’s default audio recorder (Crestron) does not have the capabilities to record the meetings; staff has since added a
third-party temporary recording solution.
2. The DVD player has failed and due to analog Circuitry there is no replacement option.
3. The microphones are getting feedback and causing unwanted background noise.
4. The displays are non-HD and in a form factor that is outdated causing the presentations to be skewed.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Replacement of the current technology solution will also include new electrical configuration and system integration.
Staff anticipates the enhancements to be completed by the 3rd quarter of FY 2021.
FY 2021 - The Board requested hardening of the lobby and Boardroom, which is estimated to cost $85K.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Meters and Services
The ¾-inch to 2-inch potable water meters are reaching the end of their useful lives and will be replaced over an eight (8) year
period.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The potable water meters nearing the end of their useful lives could start to fail or malfunction and a program to do a full
replacement should be initiated to identify the optimal service life of the existing meters and develop a schedule for their
replacement. It is anticipated the Otay Water District's (District) meters will reach the end of their useful lives beginning in FY
2025. This CIP will cover the cost of new meters and installation for all ¾-inch to 2-inch meters. The CIP will run from FY 2023
(planning) through FY 2035.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - An assessment of the existing inventory of meters will be made and a recommendation for replacement will be
performed starting in FY 2021 and a replacement contract is expected to be awarded in FY 2026. Currently, the District follows a
20-year Change-Out Program for the majority of water meters and a 10-year change out for high-users. This CIP follows that
timeline.
FY 2024 - Increased budget from $16.5M to $17.1M as the cost of meters has increased in the last three years.
FY 2025 - The cost of meters has increased dramatically over the past three (3) years. Moved money back from FY 2024 and
updated yearly amounts based on a more updated schedule of change-outs.
- On 1/8/2025 the Board approved an increase from $27.750M to $31.645M as a result of increased labor costs for installation,
material, project management services, and bonding.

This project will replace pressure vessels, including six (6) surge tanks and five (5) hydropneumatic tanks, at existing potable
water pump stations (PS) as needed.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Potable water pressure vessels have a shorter life expectancy compared to the overall PS. Several existing pressure vessels
within the Otay Water District are nearing the end of their useful lives.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - The Rancho Jamul Hydropneumatic tank will be replaced in FY 2021. Vista Diego Hydropneumatic tank will be
replaced FY 2022/2023 through CIP P2639, Vista Diego Hydropneumatic Pump Station Replacement. Other pressure vessels
with life expectancies possibly less than six (6) years include: 980-1 surge tank(s) and 803-1 surge tank. This CIP will provide
the flexibility needed to expedite replacement of any of the eleven (11) existing potable water pressure vessels, if needed. CIP
subproject numbers will be created as needed to track expenditures for each pressure vessel.

This project will assess the modifications needed for the Otay Mesa recycled water pipelines that are parallel to existing potable
water pipelines utilizing hydraulic modeling.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This project will recommend and implement the modifications needed to allow for better utilization of the Otay Water District's
(District) assets.
With the moratorium on extending recycled water to Otay Mesa, the recycled waterlines already installed throughout the area will
be evaluated for potential uses. To continue to serve potable water, the District must either put backflow devices on the existing
services or connect the existing services to the potable water pipeline with a backflow device.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - This replaces CIP R2123. The range of potential improvements needed are not yet known. The demands of existing
services connected to irrigation services may be enough to maintain water quality. For pipelines with low demand, an
interconnection may be needed on both ends to maintain water quality.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Pumping
Demolish the District’s existing Low Head Pump Station (571-1 Pump Station) and High Head Pump Station (870-1 Pump
Station) to a minimum of three feet below grade. Re-grade sites to match surrounding grades.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The new 870-2 Pump Station is scheduled to complete in FY 2020. The cost of maintaining the existing 1960’s-era Low Head
and High Head Pump Stations will eventually outweigh the benefit of serving as a backup to the new 870-2 Pump Station as
District staff gains experience and confidence operating the new pump station. The District’s portable trailer pump(s) will provide
emergency back up to the new 870-2 Pump Station.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - District staff intends to gain experience and confidence operating the new 870-2 Pump Station during FY 2021 through
FY 2022. The Low Head and High Head Pump Stations will be demolished starting with minimal work in FY 2023 and FY 2024 to
disconnect utility services and cap off all connections to adjacent pipelines and remove all hazardous material from the site. An
assessment will be done to salvage any usable equipment for District use and determine if any other equipment may have some
salvage value. A complete demolition will be scheduled at a later date.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
The existing cap sheet torch roofs to be replaced with a single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roof with polyisocyanurate
(ISO) insulation as a moisture barrier. A TPO roofing system is a commercial fire rated roofing product that provides heat-
reflective and energy efficient roofing systems with high resistance to UV, ozone, and chemical exposure. Single-ply TPO
roofing systems provide better performance characteristics (e.g., good seam strength, puncture resistance, weather resistance)
and longevity than a modified torch system.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The roofs of the Administration and Operations buildings are old and degrading and require replacement.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - The District retained West Coast Roof Consulting to evaluate the condition of the roofs on all District facilities and
provide an estimate of the cost to repair or service the roofs over the next six (6) years.
FY 2023 - Increase project budget from $325K to $350K and identify specific work below:
FY 2025 - The estimated costs include the Admin Building 2 (Finance) - $99,125, Operations Offices - $50,000, and FY 2028 -
Admin Building 1 - $174,775.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Pumping
Rebuild two (2) of four (4) pump control ball valves. Replace three (3) of four (4) ball valve actuators. Replace three (3) of four
(4) existing dismantling joints adjacent to existing ball valves. Replace/rebuild existing 4,160 VAC motors. Replace/rebuild
existing Distribution Switch Gear 4,160 VAC circuit breakers. Replace existing pump motor control centers (MCC). Rebuild
existing automatic transfer switch (ATS) and replace existing genset controls. Add 4,160 to 480 VAC transformer.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Existing pump control ball valves and ball valve actuators are nearing the end of their useful lives. Existing dismantling joints
(flange by grooved end spools and grooved end couplings) adjacent to existing ball valves cannot be salvaged due to corrosion
when rebuilding existing ball valves. Existing pump 4,160 VAC motors, existing pump motor control centers (MCC), and existing
4,160 VAC circuit breakers serving all four (4) pumps are nearing the end of their useful lives. The existing ATS is not
serviceable and has been intermittently unreliable when transferring from generator power back to SDG&E power. A 4,160 to
480 VAC transformer is needed to back up recently replaced pump control valves actuators since the site 4,160 VAC standby
generator does not supply power to 480 VAC pump control valves actuators.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - Original CIP approved 6/2/2021 ($375K) - 1) Rebuild pump remaining control ball valve and replace actuators ($90K),
2) Replace remaining dismantling joints ($25K), 3) Pump #1 motor replacement ($100K), 4) Replace/replace circuit breakers
($60K), 5) Staff time ($75K), and 6) Contingency ($25K).
FY 2023 - The CIP budget was increased $375K to $725K at 05-11-22 Board Meeting - 1) Pump #4 motor replacement ($149K),
2) Pump #4 existing motor rebuild for future use as a spare ($29K), 3) Pump #3 motor rebuild ($53K), 4) Pump #3 discharge
head and wet end rebuild ($52K), 5) Future Pump #2 motor rebuild ($50K), 6) Contingency ($50K), and 7) Reconcile original CIP
budget (e.g., rebuild rather than replace Pump #1 motor) (-$33K).
FY 2024 - the CIP budget was increased from $725K to $3.15M for - 1) MCC1 & MCC2 replacement ($1.7M), 2) ATS
replacement and genset controls for closed transition ($350K), 3) 4,160 to 480 VAC transformer ($300K), and 4) Adjustments to
previous estimates ($75K).
FY 2024 - Nov 8, 2023 Staff Report - 1) Pump Motor #2 was budgeted for rebuilding of the motor. Third party condition
assessment indicated that a full replacement was required. The increased cost was $92K. The budget was adjusted accordingly.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
This project is for all potable water utility relocations required due to construction of storm drains and road improvements by the
City of San Diego in Otay Mesa along La Media Road and Airway Road. Facility relocations vary in size from 2-inch to 18-inch.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The City of San Diego will be constructing storm drains and other street improvements which will result in utility conflicts with
existing Otay Water District facilities at various locations. In most cases, the Otay Water District does not have prior and superior
rights. The facilities must be relocated prior to the City of San Diego constructing their improvements. A reimbursement
agreement will be investigated to have the City's design and construction contractors perform the work to meet the City's
schedule and eliminate construction windows that otherwise would be required.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Budget increased from $1.5M to $1.8M to reflect bidding climate and scope of work adjustments. Costs to reimburse
the City of San Diego for construction administration costs are also now included.
Board approved an increase of the budget on 1/4/2023 to $2.6M.
FY 2024 - Budget increased from $2.6M to $3.1M for the possibility of a scope of work change to replace 1,300 LF of 16-inch
water line in La Media Road between Avenida de la Fuente and Siempre Viva Road due to City of San Diego roadwork not
indicated to the District.

(AMI) technology. The last AMR change-out upgraded over 30,000 registers to 4G technology, which allows the District to read
these meters either by drive-by or a fixed based system. Utilizing propagation reports from Master Meter, the District can
maximize a fixed base system to read a subset of the District's meters electronically from base stations located within District
facilities and analyze the benefits associated with an AMI system. This initial phase would allow staff to evaluate whether such
system would be beneficial for the District during the next phase of meter change-outs beginning in Fiscal Year 2025.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Many Districts are moving towards AMI and, with a meter change-out planned within the next three (3) years, it is important the
District evaluate whether this technology is a good fit for our District. Staff will be looking into grant funds for this CIP and
working with Master Meter to provide discounted pricing. The budget is based on the cost of installation of base station and
repeaters as well as potential environmental studies that might need to be conducted during the grant application process.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - The project cost estimate includes $200K in hardware (base station and repeaters), $75K in labor for installation, and
$25K in software.
FY 2023 - Board approved an increase of the budget on 1/4/2023 to $650K.
FY 2025 - Additional funds were added to prepare for the expansion of AMI with the new meter change-out. Total project budget
changed from $650K to $1.350M.
- On 1/8/2025 Board approved a decrease from $1.350M to $870K with the selected AMI system utilizing cellular data
transmission and eliminating the need for some infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category:
This CIP will evaluate the need for improving ladder safety equipment, installing grated catwalks, platforms, and railings to
improve safety when maintaining pump station equipment and the planning, design, and construction of any recommended
improvements. This CIP will also review monitoring equipment and sensors at each pump station. This CIP will plan, design,
and construct any recommended vibration monitoring, high-temperature shutoffs and alarms, and any other sensor for any heavy
equipment containing rotating or moving parts. This will include power quality monitoring equipment for incoming utility and
individual motor power at pump stations. All equipment will alert staff of maintenance needs or immediate intervention to extend
the useful life of District equipment and improve the automation of District facilities.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
In addition to improving safety, these improvements will reduce the need to periodically rent equipment to provide access to
hard-to-reach District equipment for maintenance or repairs. The monitoring improvements will also reduce or possibly eliminate
annual testing, that is currently outsourced, and improve automation at each site.
COMMENTS:
FY 2026 - Increased the budget by $50K from $500K to $550K to account for the next programmatic improvements for another
fiscal year.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
Replacement of the existing 20-inch steel water line installed on the Steele Canyon Road Bridge that spans the Sweetwater
River. Work will be completed in two phases, the first phase will address immediate corrosion concerns of the piping and replace
broken pipe supports. The second phase will replace all pipe supports and protective coating of the pipeline.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The pipeline was constructed in 1990. After a recent repair to an air/vac assembly on the bridge, a follow up inspection identified
corrosion to the pipe and bridge supports.
Several portions of the existing pipeline were noted to have corrosion pitting, primarily located at pipe supports. Although the
piping has expansion joints, the pipe supports do not provide for movement of the pipeline, which has resulted in wear of the
coating and corrosion of the pipe material.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Staff are developing a yearly inspection program on all suspended potable water, recycled water, and sewer pipelines
to identify problem areas for preventive maintenance, repair, or replacement as they reach the end of their useful lives.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Distribution
This CIP project is for the replacement of non-functioning isolation valves on the potable water system. Phase 2 is expected to
replace an average of eighty (80) valves per year during the ten-year CIP starting with twenty (20) valves in FY 2024 and FY
2025 while the criticality of the valves in the system is assessed and ranked. The replacement pace increases to keep up with
the expected increase of non-functioning critical valves in the system. Life expectancy of valves are 70 years. The focus of the
replacements are expected to be mainly in the La Presa and Rancho San Diego areas during the first couple of years and
moving to other critical areas the following fiscal years.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Working isolation valves are vital to the efficient operation of the water system. Life expectancy is assumed to be seventy (70)
years from various data sources, although this can be dependent on the maintenance of the valves. An average replacement
cost of $15K/valve is expected over the duration of the CIP.
Staff will be using InfoAsset Planner software's valve criticality tool along with the valve exercising list of non-functioning valves to
prioritize the replacement of valves.
COMMENTS:
FY 2024 - Phase 1 was initiated in FY 2020 with a budget of $2M; with the first valves replaced in FY 2021, and the CIP
approaching the budget limit in FY 2023.

This project is for the condition assessment and repair of failed joints within approximately 3,500 feet of 16-inch cement mortar
lined and coated transmission main along Olympic Parkway east of E. Palomar Street.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Four (4) leaks have been repaired along the 16-inch, 2002-era steel transmission main, constructed under As-Built Number 330-
22, due to corrosion caused by missing interior mortar at interior joints. During the most recent repair completed in November
2023, approximately 100-feet of the pipe was inspected via CCTV, which identified missing mortar at other joints that had not yet
been repaired. An assessment is needed to determine the condition of the pipeline joints throughout the pipeline. The condition
assessment will also include inspection of accessible adjacent pipelines constructed under different As-Built numbers as
convenient during inspection of the steel transmission main constructed under As-Built number 330-22.

COSS Functional Category: General
Prepare an assessment of the District's Administration and Operations buildings to comply with current ADA requirements for
visitors and staff.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The ADA requirements have evolved over time, and an update is needed. An architect will be selected to prepare an
assessment, recommend improvements, and prepare plans and specs for the award of a construction contract for the
improvements (staff will need to charge time initially to select a consultant for the professional services).
The cost estimate and schedule of spending were based on the following: ten (10) restrooms including plumbing (approximately
216 sq. ft. each and $135/sq. ft.): $291.6K; six (6) kitchen modifications ($5,000 ea.): $30K; public entrance (end of its useful life
of 25 years and should be upgraded to slide rather than swing out): $45K; four (4) automatic doors ($17K ea.): $68K; ramp and
access: $18K; EV charger access; $15K; and professional services from an architect or similar: $30K. The estimated total is
$500K.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Treatment
In 2020, the District amended the State Water Resources Control Board's domestic water supply permit with DDW at the 803-4
Reservoir for the installation of a permanent chemical feed system and mixer using 19.5% aqueous ammonia in a 250-gallon
tank. The District is considering converting from the 19.5% aqueous ammonia system to 40% liquid ammonium sulfate (LAS).
The existing system is anticipated to be compatible with the LAS conversion. The project is the permitting of the new chemical
with the Regional Board and will be used as a pilot or template for up to eight (8) other sites.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
COMMENTS:
FY 2025 - Unlike aqueous ammonia, LAS has an indefinite storage life, is odorless, non-toxic, and safer to use and store.

Replace the existing control valves with control valves that can be monitored and operated remotely. Additionally, replace the
backflow preventers onsite.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
A power service connection will be required to operate the new equipment. Phasing of this improvement could coincide with
future replacements of the manual control valves as they continue to experience increasing maintenance issues, indicating they
are nearing the end of their useful lives.
COMMENTS:
FY 2025 - The District plans to proceed only after the money from Mexico is received.
FY 2026 - Budget increased from $300K to $650K accounting for power, automation, and the addition of a backflow preventer to
meet flows requested by Tijuana. The added backflow requires an expansion of the perimeter work and appurtenances. The
District plans to proceed only after the money from Mexico is received.

Approximately 1,900 LF of 12-inch steel pipe installed in 1960 has experienced several leaks, indicating that it is nearing the end
of its useful life.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The District's Asset Management Program identified this pipeline as a higher-ranked pipeline for replacement. Sections of the
pipeline have been replaced over time, and the remaining sections have required repairs, with the most recent leak repair in
2023.
The rough cost estimate at this early stage is based on $90/in-dia. LF, which is reflective of the District's recent installation costs
(2024). Design is estimated to be about 15% of construction costs ($300K). About $50K is needed as preparation for design
(RFP, geotech data, etc.).

This project is for the construction of earthwork material storage bins and vactor truck dump at the 870 Reservoir site.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The proposed vactor dump and material storage bins at the 870 Reservoir will significantly reduce travel time and costs for crews
operating in the Otay Mesa area. Currently, crews spend an average of 40-60 minutes per round trip to the existing storage and
dump locations. The new proposed site cuts this travel time by at least half, saving up to $1,600 per job in travel time.
Additionally, the new site is closer to the work area, reducing mileage on vehicles and subsequent fuel consumption and wear
and tear. With recent growth in Otay Mesa, these savings will only increase. Based on the 2023 work data, we estimate an
annual savings of $56,000, minus the time required to remove the spoils once dried from the new bins to the dump site,
estimated to be ten (10) times per year at $900 per trip. It will result in a total estimated savings of $47,000, providing a return on
investment of approximately 8.5 years. Therefore, the new storage bins and dump site would be a cost-effective solution for the
District, improving efficiency and preparing us for future development.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
The Capital Improvement Project is designed to modernize our Esri Geographic Information System (GIS) infrastructure by
migrating the District’s current Geometric Network to the Utility Network (UN) framework.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This strategic initiative aligns with the District’s commitment to advancing technological capabilities, enhancing data
management, optimizing operational workflows, and advancing the asset management program.
Given that Esri's geometric network support is set to expire in 2027 and will no longer be supported, the utility network (UN)
framework migration is essential to the future support of the District’s Asset Management Program and related objectives. The
new UN framework features not available in the current framework include, but are not limited to, advanced modeling, advanced
performance capabilities, asset management dashboards and portals, and enhanced data management. Beyond these
immediate feature advancements, the utility network has long-term benefits in terms of operational efficiency and adaptability to
meet the strategic objectives of the District.
This migration represents more than a technical upgrade; it’s an essential service component that touches everything from field
data collection to the budgeting of capital asset projects and replacements.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Customer Service
Software purchase and implementation of a Utility Billing (UB) system compatible with the District's needs. A separate UB
software is needed apart from the (new) Munis/EERP UB module, which exhibits significant functionality gaps that prevent it from
meeting the District's operational needs. The Munis/EERP module lacks the flexibility to support the District's complex rate
structures, essential for accurate billing and reflecting diverse service needs. Additionally, the module does not provide self-
service options, an increasingly critical feature for modern customer expectations. The module also lacks reporting capabilities
essential for informed decision-making and performance tracking. Moreover, the lack of compatibility with the District's reporting
tools limits staff's ability to analyze and manage billing data effectively.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Pursuing custom enhancements within the Munis system to meet the District's billing needs is neither feasible nor cost-effective
in the long run. The extensive customization required would introduce unnecessary complexity and financial strain, outweighing
the benefits of remaining within the Munis framework. In contrast, integrating a third-party UB solution offers a more viable and
sustainable approach, providing a proven system with built-in capabilities specifically designed to address the District's unique
utility billing requirements.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Treatment
The Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility (RWCWRF) does not have adequate chlorine contact basin volume to meet the
San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirement for chlorine contact time (CT) for the recycled water
produced from this facility, so it subsequently needs to use the 14-inch effluent force main to obtain the required CT. The high
chlorine dosage needed with this arrangement is adversely impacting the force main, its appurtenances, and the reservoir liners.
If CT can be met within the plant, the chlorine residual leaving the plant can be lowered substantially. Alternatives evaluated
include additional contact basin volume, changing to ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and other options. Expansion of the chlorine
contact basin will allow for other related plant issues to be addressed including the relocating and upgrading of the filter
backwash supply pumps.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The District currently uses the existing 14-inch cement mortar lining (CML) force main to meet the required chlorine contact time
resulting in a higher corrosion rate for facilities on this pipeline. Reducing the chlorine residual leaving the RWCWRF will extend
the useful life of pumps, the force main, and reservoir liners.
COMMENTS:
FY 2021 - Project includes work identified in the RWCWRF Master Plan Item 9.1. Initial study looked at possibly changing to UV
disinfection in addition to increasing contact time at the plant. Preliminary assessments indicate staying with chlorine gas
disinfection is the most cost-effective alternative with ensuring permit limits are met. The results of the force main assessment
suggest adverse impacts from the high chlorine dosage use. The replacement of the temporary installation filter backwash
supply pumps with permanent pumps (Master Plan Item 7.1) will also be resolved with this CIP.
FY 2022 - Study determined UV system is the recommended process to implement.
FY 2023 - Budget increased to reflect inflationary factors and regulatory compliance requirements.
FY 2024 - Budget increased from $1.8M to $3.5M based on 60% design estimate. Electrical and instrumentation related to the
UV and sodium hypochlorite are more involved than previously projected and material costs have risen substantially since the
pre-design estimate. The alternative project of constructing a contact basin at the plant was reevaluated based on current
conditions and project needs, with that total present worth cost higher than the UV project due in part to chlorine costs almost
tripling in price in the last 18 months.
- On 8/23/2023 the Board approved an increase for CIP R2117 budget by $775K (from $3.5M to $4.275M.
FY 2025 - On 2/5/2025 the Board approved an increase in total budget from $4.275M to $4.825M (increase of $550K) to account
for increased construction management fees, increased time needed for staff and inspection efforts, additional assistance from
the design engineer, and change orders to avoid existing utilities.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Meters and Services
This project is for the replacement of recycled water meters 3-inch or larger.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Staff has an annual large meter testing program to ensure the Otay Water District's (District) large meters are performing
accurately. When a large meter fails, staff looks at the failing result, the cost of repair and/or replacement, and determines the
action that will be of the greatest benefit to the District. Historically, staff has been able to repair the large recycled irrigation
meters. However, as the meters age, repairing becomes more difficult and in some cases not possible. There are currently
fourteen (14) recycled meters 3-inch or larger in the District's system. Based on the age of the meters, funds are distributed
throughout the six-year period to account for replacement.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Increase budget from $58K to $88K to replace additional meters. Project expenditures at this time have reached $35K.
FY 2024 - Increased budget from $88K to $135K as the cost of meters has increased in the last three years.
FY 2025 - Meters changed in FY 2015-2019 will start to need to be replaced, meter prices have increased. The total project
budget increased from $135K to $154K.
FY 2026 - Overall budget increased from $154K to $175K to reflect extension of CIP another year and increased cost of meters.

The ¾-inch to 2-inch recycled water meters are reaching the end of their useful lives and will be replaced over an eight (8) year
period.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The recycled water meters nearing the end of their useful lives could start to fail or malfunction and a program to do a full
replacement should be initiated to identify the optimal service life of the existing meters and develop a schedule for their
replacement. It is anticipated that the Otay Water District's (District) meters will reach the end of their useful lives beginning in
FY 2025. This CIP will cover the cost of new meters and installation for all ¾-inch to 2-inch meters. The CIP will run from FY
2023 (planning) through FY 2035.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - An assessment of the existing inventory of meters will be made and a recommendation for replacement will be
performed starting in FY 2021 and a replacement contract is expected to be awarded in FY 2026. Currently, the District follows a
twenty (20) year Change-Out Program for the majority of water meters and a ten (10) year Change-Out Program for high-users.
This CIP follows that timeline.
FY 2025 - The cost of meters has increased dramatically over the past three years. Total cost of the project increased from
$550K to $755K.
- On 1/8/2025 the Board approved an increase from $755K to $1.010M as a result of increased labor costs for installation,
material, project management services, and bonding.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Pumping
This project will replace three (3) surge tanks at existing recycled water Pump Stations (PS) as needed.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Recycled water pressure vessels have a shorter life expectancy compared to the overall PS. Several existing pressure vessels
within the Otay Water District (District) are nearing the end of their useful lives.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Pressure vessels will be replaced rather than recoated. Vessels with life expectancies greater than six (6) years
include the 680-1R, 944-1R, and Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation surge tanks. This blanket CIP will provide flexibility
needed to expedite replacement of any of the three (3) existing recycled water pressure vessels if needed. CIP phase numbers
will be created as needed to track expenditures for each pressure vessel. It is unlikely that any of the three (3) existing recycled
water pressure vessels will be replaced within the next six (6) years; however, $50K of funding was allocated through FY 2025 to
provide funding to initiate the design, if needed.

COSS Functional Category: Transmission
This project is for condition assessment and repair of the existing 16,000 linear feet of 14-inch steel force main including
replacement of nineteen (19) combination air-vacuum valve assemblies and access road repairs.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Pipeline Inspection & Condition Analysis Corporation (PICA) completed a condition assessment of the force main using PICA's
See Snake tool January 2015 through December 2016. PICA identified approximately forty (40) localized defects in their report.
Nine (9) localized defects were selected for spot repairs which were completed through January 2019. Follow-up inspections are
recommended on a ten (10) year frequency to track changes in remaining localized defects identified by PICA and overall
condition of the force main.
Replacement of existing combination air-vacuum valves are needed since existing valves previously replaced in 2006-2008 are
reaching the end of their useful life.
COMMENTS:
FY 2024 - Subprojects will be created to track follow-up condition assessment inspections and spot repairs separate from
replacement of existing combination air-vacuum valves and road repairs. Subprojects will be created to track follow-up condition
assessment inspections and spot repairs separate from replacement of existing combination air-vacuum valves and road repairs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Treatment
Replacement of existing filter backwash supply pumps with new pumps with higher capacity. Project to be designed and
constructed in conjunction with the disinfection system improvements and provide a suitable readily accessible location for
installing the pumps.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Existing system consists of two (2) temporary installed pumps that requires both pumps to operate together to deliver the filter
backwash water volume required for a filter wash process within four hours during high loading periods. The loss of a pump
would require supplemental potable water to be added.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - Project was identified in the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility Master Plan.
FY 2024 - Project budget increase from $300K to $500K to reflect refined scope of work developed during design especially
related to electrical and instrumentation, plus higher materials and labor costs.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
This project is for the replacement of approximately 5,500 feet of an existing 20-inch recycled water pipeline within the 680
Pressure Zone (PZ) in Olympic Parkway from Heritage Road to La Media Road in Chula Vista. Staff considered alternative
construction techniques including a cured in place liner system to minimize the impact to the community and reduce the cost of
the project. The new replacement pipeline is proposed to be 16-inch diameter upon reviewing hydraulic modeling results for the
recycled water system.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
This recycled water pipeline was installed in 2002 and has had four (4) breaks (2013, 2015, 2020, and 2021). Hydraulic
modeling will be involved to determine if a liner would reduce the system operation with a smaller pipe diameter.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - The estimated annual cost for this pipeline is $83K/year ($6.25M/75 years). The District’s cost for repairs & insurance
claims for the last three (3) events has averaged $350K for each repair.
FY 2023 - Project budget reduced from $6.25M to $6.0M to reflect the smaller proposed 16-inch pipeline to be constructed than
the original basis of a 20-inch main. Pipeline cost per inch/ft increased from last budget cycle, resulting in less of a budget
reduction from the size change.
FY 2026 - Project budget reduced from $6M to $4.9M based on current project cost projections as the project nears completion.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Transmission
This pilot project aims to repair and permit the access and inspection road for the existing 16,000 linear feet of 14-inch force
main, originally constructed in 1978. The project will focus on installing a paver system, for road stabilization, in select areas
where storm runoff has historically caused erosion along the gravel road. The full length of the road is not included in this budget,
but its condition will be reassessed after the pilot phase to determine future improvements. Permitting requirements and
approvals will be addressed as part of the project scope.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Recent rains have eroded segments of the road that need structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) help to control storm
runoff and channel runoff into the proper areas.
COMMENTS:
FY 2024 - Staff are looking for potential grants and FEMA funding to offset the re-occurring expense of repairing the road.
FY 2025 - Budget adjusted assuming approximately 1,200 lineal feet of access road will be stabilized at two locations near blow
offs 14 and 15 with Contech ArmorFlex pavers (or similar).
FY 2026 - Increased budget total $11K from $550K to $561K to account for increases in construction labor and materials.
Revised scope for clarity of the project.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: General
This project aims to enhance surface access to an existing District easement near the Salt Creek Golf Course, enabling easier
and more reliable access for maintenance and repairs of vital infrastructure.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
To address this challenge, the project proposes the installation of Grasscrete, a permeable concrete system designed to provide
a stabilized foundation that can withstand the weight of heavy vehicles (rated for H20 loads). Grasscrete is particularly well-
suited for this application because it allows grass and other vegetation to grow through the structure, maintaining the existing
aesthetics and natural appearance of the community use area, i.e., community park. The surface will remain functional and look
virtually unchanged from its pre-improvement state while providing the necessary access for future District operations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Secondary Settling Basins
This project is for a Sludge Handling System at the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) to reduce the
amount of solids the Otay Water District (District) sends to Metro.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The District currently sends all sludge produced at RWCWRF to Metro for treatment. The District's Wastewater Management
Plan provided a preliminary estimate of the cost of handling sludge at the RWCWRF that is close to the cost Metro charges the
District for treatment of solids.
COMMENTS:
FY 2018 - City of San Diego has established criteria for the billing of sewage flow and strength towards the implementation of the
Pure Water Program in the Amended and Restated Disposal Agreement. Based upon this information, the feasibility of handling
solids at the RWCWRF will be assessed. This CIP is as indicated in the RWCWRF Master Plan under item 11.2.
FY 2021 - Suspend this CIP at end of FY 2020. Report completed in FY 2020 does not recommend adding sludge handling
facilities at RWCWRF. Until Amended Agreement is executed, future alternatives may arise for consideration.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Collection
This project is for repairs to the gravity sanitary sewer system to repair areas with potential for sewer backups and spills. This
project addresses the following sewer sites, primarily in the Calavo area: 56, 78, 242, 452 and 746. The replacement of eight (8)
sewer manholes will also be included.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The closed circuit television sewer assessment program process has assisted in the identification of sewer mains containing
sags, which has allowed debris to accumulate, and/or are damaged and need to be repaired. This is a continuation of the CIPs
in this area. Calavo Phase I was completed in 2017. Rehabilitating these sags will prevent debris from accumulating and sewer
system overflows.
COMMENTS:
FY 2017 - This project was taken from S2033 and is the next highest priority areas after the Rancho San Diego Phase 1 project
for open cut repairs.
FY 2018 - Construction to be scheduled after completion of Campo Road Sewer project.
FY 2019 - Additional planning time has been included to resolve easement infringement cases that are apparent. This project
may be partially funded by sewer debt proceeds.
FY 2021 - Site 310 on hold until adjacent site development and subsequent potential sewer revisions therein are determined.
FY 2023 - Moved Site 310 to S2054 Calavo Phase 3 and added Site 242. Budget adjusted to reflect inflationary conditions.
FY 2026 - Increased budget total $23K from $1.150M to $1.173M to account for increases in construction labor and materials.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Collection
Replacement of the existing Steele Canyon Sewage Pump Station (PS) is required to raise the PS above the 100-year flood plain
and to enable handling of daily peak flows for future flow equalization at the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility
(RWCWRF). Replacement of the flow splitting manhole on the gravity sewer diverting flow to the PS is also involved.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The existing PS was built in 1981 and is located within the 100-year flood plain, making it susceptible to significant flood damage
as the pumps and electrical equipment are installed below the potential flood elevation. By the time of project construction, the
electrical components of the PS will have reached the end of their useable lives. Elimination of the chopper feature on the
pumps will aid the operational efficiency of the treatment plant rotary screens. Flow diversion improvements and increased
pumping capacity will allow for additional treatment during low diurnal night flow periods when coupled with flow equalization at
the RWCWRF.
COMMENTS:
FY 2019 - This CIP is based upon the RWCWRF Master Plan Items 3.1 and 3.3 recommendations. Master Plan estimated costs
for the two (2) items are $797K and $148.3K, for a total of $945.3K. CIP budget set at $1M. An assessment of the PS will be
made before the design of the replacement PS begins.
FY 2020 - The replacement of Cottonwood Sewage Pump Station is deemed a higher priority than this PS, delaying the start of
design until the Cottonwood Sewage Pump Station is completed.
FY 2023 - Costs adjusted to reflect current inflationary climate.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Aeration Basins
This project will consolidate the aeration controls for the biological treatment process of the Ralph W. Chapman Water
Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) to fully integrate the aeration system controls and allow for automated adjustments. Also,
included are studies for plant optimization and long-term cost effectiveness of the facility considering proposed Pure Water/Point
Loma Secondary Equivalency on sewer rates.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Implementation of the Aeration Controls Consolidation task will eliminate operational risks that include:
- Dealing with shock loads on the plant that upset the biological process. Plant can take a week to recover, which results in
returning some or all flows to Metro during this recovery time. These events can occur 2-3 times a year.
- Allow for automatic adjustment of air flow level. Plant cannot automatically adjust air levels that need twice daily manual entry
at this time, weekends see reductions in nitrogen removal that can lead to a permit violation.
COMMENTS:
FY 2018 - Budget set at $190K to reflect identified scope of work from the Treatment Plant Master Plan under 5.2 Aeration
Controls Consolidation ($157.8K) [Note that 12.1 Automation/SCADA Upgrades that are not operational costs are covered in CIP
P2485 and that 13.7 Security Improvements are covered in CIP P2382], plus $30K for proposed optimization planning studies.
Recycled Water CIP R2119 closed out at end of FY 2017.
FY 2020 - Adjusted budget to reflect inflation since initial scope identification. Increased from $190K to $220K.
FY 2024 - Initial programming has been performed and is being monitored for performance.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Collection
Replacement of structural, architectural, and mechanical equipment at the Cottonwood Sewer Pump Station (PS) facility is
required due to age and corrosion. Also, the PS lacks emergency storage, which increases the likelihood of a sewage spill in the
event of an operating issue. This PS serves both County and Otay Water District (District) customers (about 50/50 split) so
County participation in the costs and design will be involved. (Project budget indicated is for the entire project, District portion will
be half.)
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The PS was constructed in 1986 with suction lift pumps and features a partially buried pump room due to the limitations of the
suction lift process. Access into the pump room is difficult, requiring a ladder up then a ladder down into the pump room. The
aluminum panel roof leaks and the room does not dry out readily afterwards, this has contributed to corrosion of the equipment.
The PS wet well is undersized to provide adequate pump run times per WAS design standards. Emergency storage should be
included to allow time for operators to respond to a PS problem to prevent a sewage spill.
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - This project will include Expansion costs to cover future development within the sewer shed. The expiration of the
County Urban Limit Line needs to be considered in assessing future flows. It is not known what portion of future development
will be County's or District's customers, as the area is not delineated between the two (2) agencies. The increased capacity of
the PS, due to expansion, impacts the pump sizing, wet well, and emergency storage volumes, and potentially the electrical
service to the PS. The addition of emergency storage at the PS will fall under Betterment funding.
FY 2021 - Budget increased from $1.8M to $2.5M to reflect construction cost increases noted on other projects and anticipated
property acquisition for the replacement station. Project design duration has been extended to allow for property acquisition.
FY 2023 - Budget increased from $2.5M to $3M based on inflationary conditions and contingencies.
FY 2026 - Budget increased from $3M to $9M based on recent bids for similar projects at neighboring utilities (e.g. Vallecitos)
which is in line with Otay project civil engineer consultant preliminary design consultant (Wood Rodgers) opinion of probable cost
estimate. The increase is due to inflation as a result of contract labor shortages and material supply challenges. The San Diego
County Sanitation District shares the cost for the capital expenses for the facility, estimated at about 47%.

This project is for the Otay Water District's (District) proportionate share of the San Diego Metro Wastewater Capital
Improvements for the San Diego Pure Water project, per terms of an existing agreement with the City of San Diego (City). The
reimbursement also includes a proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
COMMENTS:
FY 2020 - Pure Water Phase 1 is projected to cost the District’s sewer customers $2.57M in Nov 2018 dollars. The City is
expected to obtain financing for a large portion of the capital cost; the impact will be amortized over a period of twenty (20) to
thirty (30) years, depending on the types of financing. Annual costs until Phase 2 work is started are projected at $100,000.
FY 2021 - Phase 2 of Pure Water is currently proposed to be constructed by 2035, with the total District cost allocation estimated
at $8.23M in Nov 2018 dollars. Inflation of capital costs is adjusted annually in July using the Engineering News Record - Los
Angeles Construction Cost Index. The Exhibit G capacity in the Metro Agreement of 0.38 MGD average annual Fiscal Year flow
estimated for 2050 includes a small increment for expansion of 0.13 MGD.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Screening & Grit Removal
Replacement of the existing headworks rotary screen at the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF). The
screen removes larger particulate matter from the wastewater stream that is compacted and disposed of at the landfill. This
process is an important first step in the treatment train. The replacement screen is recommended to be similar to the existing
screen in opening size and materials of construction. Replacement of adjacent piping and valves is recommended to also be
included to match the new screen connections.
Project also requires replacement of the channel protective coating below the screen. A more substantial plate may need to be
installed due to the conditions present.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Existing screen was installed in 1992 and has been refurbished several times. An inspection of the screen by the manufacturer
found the screen to be in good shape, considering its age, but preparations for replacement should be planned by FY 2027.
Excessive wear of the channel wall due to the sewage discharge from the screen requires a more substantial material than the
coating currently installed.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Added improvements to the channel wall supporting the screen, increasing the budget amount from $450K to $600K.

COSS Functional Category: Screening & Grit Removal
Improve the efficiency of the grit removal process system at the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) to
decrease the amount of grit accumulating in the biological process tanks.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Large deposits of grit have been observed in the anoxic zone first chamber of the biological process tanks where raw wastewater
enters after screening and grit removal. These deposits are contributing to the creation of anaerobic conditions in the anoxic
zone that can cause process upsets. The existing grit system has been in operation since 1991 and has few control abilities to
optimize the process. An analysis of the system is required to determine the improvements required for a more efficient
operation.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Aeration Basins
Refurbish the three (3) blowers at the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) used to supply air to the
aeration basins and other processes. Work includes the replacement of impellers and heat exchangers.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
Inspection of the three (3) air blowers by the manufacturer's representative found wear of the impellers on the units, with a
recommendation to replace them. It was also indicated that the existing heat exchangers are obsolete and should be replaced at
this time as well. The blowers were installed in 2012.
Staff will review the recommendations and assess the potential for replacing the blowers with an alternative manufacturer as the
refurbishment costs are projected to exceed 50% of the original equipment costs. The operational issues currently being
investigated under CIP S2061 will also be reviewed to see if a different system would resolve the problem.
COMMENTS:
FY 2022 - Planning and assessing the potential renovation or replacement of the equipment will be performed during FY 2022,
which will determine the timing and scope of the project. Work is expected to be performed one unit at a time to reduce the
impact to the RWCWRF.
FY 2023 - Budget increased from $350K to $400K to reflect updated refurbishment quote.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
COSS Functional Category: Collection
Replacement of the existing 6-inch steel sewer force main installed on the Steele Canyon Road Bridge that spans the
Sweetwater River. Work will be completed in two phases. The first phase is to address immediate corrosion concerns of the
piping. The second phase will replace additional piping, all pipe supports, and protective coating of the pipeline.
JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:
The pipeline was constructed in 1990. After a recent repair to an air/vac assembly on the bridge a follow up inspection identified
corrosion to the pipe and bridge supports.
Several portions of the existing pipeline were noted to have corrosion pitting, primarily located at the victaulic pipe joints.
Although the piping has expansion joints, the pipe supports do not provide for movement of the pipeline, which has resulted in
wear of the coating and corrosion of the pipe material.
COMMENTS:
FY 2023 - Staff are developing a yearly inspection program on all suspended potable water, recycled water, and sewer pipelines
to identify problem areas for preventive maintenance, repair, or replacement as they reach the end of their useful lives.

ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT 06 10/15/84 10/03/18
PURPOSE
To define the policy on the preparation and approval of the
annual Capital Improvement Program.
BACKGROUND
District staff develops and maintains a Water Facilities Master
Plan (WFMP), an Integrated Water Resources Plan (IRP), a Program
Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), and a Strategic Plan that,
collectively, are used to prepare the annual Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and to identify the CIP projects required for
ultimate buildout. Every five years, the Board certifies the
PEIR and approves the revised WFMP. Annually, staff prepares a
six-year moving window CIP that provides information on budget
assumptions, source of funds, allocation of funds, project
costs, project location, description, justification, scheduling,
etc. The six-year CIP is submitted and presented to the Board
of Directors to obtain approval for staff to proceed with
implementation to plan, design, and construct facilities and
programs necessary to meet the needs of the District.
POLICY
The General Manager, or his designee, shall prepare a proposed
six-year CIP for submission to the Board of Directors for their
review prior to and approval by June 30 of each fiscal year.
The CIP projects shall be reviewed and updated annually to
consider appropriate revisions based on the most recent WFMP,
IRP, Strategic Plan, and market condition information. The
timing of projects shall be based on necessity and availability
of financing. The intent is that new CIP projects will be
installed as development requires the facilities. With regard
to all CIP projects, it is acknowledged that compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act adds a measure of unpre-
dictability with regard to the timing of CIP projects.
The WFMP, IRP, and the CIP projects shall be divided into two
phases: Phase I - one to six years; and Phase II - seven to
ultimate buildout. CIP project sheets for projects in Phase I
shall be prepared and identify estimated total cost, cash
expenditure timing, location, description, justification,
funding allocation, and schedule. For the Phase II CIP
projects, the CIP shall identify the need for the projects,
along with their estimated total cost and funding allocation.

Glossary
The Capital Budget contains terminology that is unique to public finance and budgeting. The following
budget glossary provides assistance in understanding these terms.
Acre-Foot: The volume of water that will cover one acre to a depth of one foot. One acre-foot equals
435.6 units or 325,850 gallons.
Accrual: A charge for work that has been done but not yet invoiced, for which provision is made at the
end of a financial period.
Annexation Fees: When water service is requested for land outside the boundaries of the District, the
land to be serviced must first be annexed. For sewer service the land must be annexed into an
improvement district within the District.
Assets: Resources owned or held by the District that have monetary value.
Availability Fees: The District levies charges each year in developed areas to be used for general
purposes for construction of facilities. This fee is levied in undeveloped areas to provide a source of
funding for planning, mapping, and preliminary design of facilities to meet future development. Current
legislation provides that any availability charge in excess of $10.00 per acre shall be restricted only for
the purpose of constructing facilities in the improvement district in which it was assessed.
Capacity Fee: A connection fee is charged when a new meter is placed into service. This fee is a
contribution of capital to either reimburse existing customers for the available capacity in the existing
system, or to help finance planned future growth-related capacity improvements.
Capacity Fee Revenues: These fees are earned by the Operating Budget as the Engineering
Department supports expansion functions.
Capital Budget: The portion of the annual budget that appropriates funds for the purchase of capital
equipment items and capital improvements. These expenditures are separated from regular operating
items, such as salaries, utilities, and office supplies. The Capital Budget includes funds for capital
equipment purchases over $10,000, such as vehicles, furniture, machinery, computer systems, and
special tools. The capital budget also includes funds for infrastructure related items over $20,000 (as
explained below) which are distinguished from operating items according to their value and projected
useful life.

Glossary
CWA: The County Water Authority was organized in 1944 under the State County Water Authority Act
for the primary purpose of importing Colorado River water to augment the local water supplies of the
Authority's member agencies. The Authority purchases water from MWD which imports water from the
Colorado River and the State Water Project.
Debt Service: The District's obligation to pay the principal and interest of bonds and other debt
instruments according to a predetermined payment schedule.
Desalination: The removal of dissolved minerals (including salts) from seawater or brackish water.
Engineered water desalination processes, which produce potable water from seawater or brackish
water, have become important because many regions throughout the world suffer from water
shortages.
Expenditures/Expenses: These terms refer to the outflow of funds paid or to be paid for an asset,
goods or services obtained regardless of when actually paid for. (Note: An encumbrance is not an
expenditure). An encumbrance reserves funds to be expended in a future period.
Financial Audit: Official financial examination of the District’s accounts.
Fiscal Year: Twelve-month term designating the beginning and ending period for recording financial
transactions. The District has specified July 1 to June 30 as its fiscal year.
Grants: Contributions or gifts of cash or other assets from another governmental agency to be used or
expended for a specified purpose, activity, or facility. Capital grants are restricted by the grantor for the
acquisition and/or construction of fixed assets. Operating grants are restricted by the grantor for
operating purposes or may be used for either capital or operating purposes at the discretion of the
grantee.
Gallons Per Capita Per Day: The total number of gallons used by the city divided by the population,
divided by the number of days.
Interest Income: Earnings from the investment portfolio. Per District Policy Number 25, interest income
will be allocated to improvement districts each month based upon each fund’s prior month-ending
balance.
MWD and CWA Fixed System Charges: These pass-through charges are calculated to recover the
MWD’s and CWA’s fixed annual costs including the construction, operation and maintenance of
aqueducts, and emergency storage projects. These fixed charges are based on the size of the meter.
Reserve Fund: The District maintains Reserve Funds per the District’s policy for both designated and
restricted balances. Designated Reserve Funds are “general use” funds designated by the Board.
Restricted reserves are those that are legally set aside for a particular purpose and cannot be used for
any other purpose.
