3
a) ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 580 AMENDING SECTION 28, CONNECTION
FEES AND CHARGES FOR POTABLE OR RECYCLED WATER SERVICE;
SECTION 31, TEMPORARY WATER SERVICE; AND APPENDIX A OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADJUST THE DISTRICT’S WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY FEES; ADDITIONALLY, ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4389 AMENDING POLICY 25, RESERVE POLICY, WITH ALL CHANGES
TO BE EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2020
Assistant Chief of Finance Kevin Koeppen requested that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 580 amending Section 28, Connection Fees and Charges for Potable or Recycled Water Service; Section 31, Temporary Water Service; and
Appendix A of the District’s Code of Ordinances to adjust water and sewer capacity
fees. Additionally, adopt Resolution No. 4389 amending Policy 25, Reserve Policy, with all changes to be effective December 1, 2020. Mr. Tom Gould of HDR, Inc. was in attendance of the meeting to review the findings of the Water and Sewer
Capacity Fee Study on Mr. Shawn Koorn’s behalf, also of HDR, Inc., who performed
the study. Please reference Attachment A (Committee Action) to the staff report for
the details of Messrs. Koeppen and Gould’s presentations. Public Comments: Mr. Michael McSweeny of the Building Industry Association shared his
organization’s and the developer’s concern on the findings of the Water and Sewer
Capacity Fee Study. Please reference Attachment A (Committee Action) to the staff report for the details of Mr. McSweeny’s comments. Mr. McSweeny additionally indicated that the development community wishes to understand the District’s calculation of projected EDU’s. Their understanding is the future EDU’s are
calculated to determine the future size and scope of new facilities and to allocate
existing facilities. The District is using a ratio of 2.87 persons for each additional EDU and based on their initial research they calculate the ratio to be closer to 4 persons per EDU as they expect future new developments to be much more densely populated with less single family detached homes. They are requesting
that the Board delay acting on this item for a month so they may work with staff to
determine the population per EDU. There was much discussion and staff and the Board Finance and Administration Committee members responded to questions and comments from the board.
A motion was made by President Croucher, seconded by Director Smith to implement the recommended adjustments to the District’s water and sewer capacity fees as presented by staff effective December 3, 2020. Additionally, that staff continue to work with the BIA on their concerns. Director Thompson requested that
the motion be amended to direct staff to present in 6 months to a year their review
for an alternative methodology that considers incremental increases in calculating capacity fees for fixture counts above the ¾-inch meter size. Director Robak requested an additional amendment to wait on adopting the changes to the water and sewer capacity fees until the January 2021 board meeting.
President Croucher indicated that by delaying the adoption of the proposed capacity fee increases, the cost is being put onto current ratepayers which is estimated to
4
already be over $1,000,000 plus an additional $140,000 if the District waited until
January 2021 to take action. The discussion with the BIA is more about what can
be done in the future and he did not see the purpose of delaying action on capacity fees. He indicated that if nothing new is determined before the December 2, 2020 board meeting that the new proposed capacity fees would go into effect on December 3, 2020. He further indicated with regard to Director Thompson’s
amendment to the motion, that he would like to keep that separate from this motion.
Director Smith concurred with President Croucher. General Counsel Jeanne Blumenfeld suggested that the implementation date be amended to December 7, 2020 as the District’s special board meeting may be scheduled on Friday, December 4, 2020. President Croucher and Director Smith accepted the
amendment to the date of implementation and the motion and second carried with
the following vote: Ayes: Directors Croucher, Robak, Smith and Thompson Noes: Director Gastelum
Abstain: None
Absent: None to approve staff’s recommendation to adjust the District’s water and sewer capacity fees as presented in staffs report to be implemented on December 7, 2020 and to
continue discussions with the BIA and if new information is identified, that the matter
be agendized for further discussion at the December 4, 2020 special board meeting. b) APPROVE THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ UNQUALIFIED OPINION, FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
Senior Accountant Marissa Dychitan indicated that staff is requesting that the Board approve the audited financial statements, including the independent auditors’ unqualified opinion, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Messrs. Joshua
Calhoun, Partner, and Rick Gallo, Auditor in Charge, of Teaman, Ramirez, & Smith,
Inc., were in attendance of the meeting to provide a review of the audit process and results of the audit. Please reference Attachment A (Committee Action) to the staff report for the details of Ms. Dychitan’s and Mr. Calhoun’s presentations.

Director Thompson inquired if staff tracked the cost in maintaining and updating
social media posts/information and its efficacy in reaching District customers and its
Spanish speaking customers. Staff indicated that they did not track the cost at this time, but certainly could do so. It was requested that the information be provided to the Conservation, Public Relations, Legal and Legislative Committee (CPRL&L Committee). Staff indicated that the data from the website analytics does not
provide information by Director Divisions, however, it does provide location by
users’ computer’s IP address zip code. Staff can guess using the zip code, but cannot be certain as the actual address location is not known. Staff also indicated that they do post content on the social media platforms in both English and Spanish. Additionally, most of the District’s website pages is duplicated and translated in
Spanish. Director Robak also shared information from discussions from the
CPRL&L Committee and noted the increases in engagements/views on the District’s social media accounts/posts and website. Staff responded to further questions and comments from the board.
President Croucher left the meeting at 5:49 p.m. as he had another commitment. REPORTS
13. GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT
General Manager Martinez presented information from his report that included the COVID-19 financial impact reporting by water suppliers, District’s collections and bad debt exposure, Mexico water deliveries, and requests for interagency
assistance. Staff responded to questions and comments from the board.
14. SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY UPDATE Director Smith reported that CWA graciously thanked the Otay WD for sending a
letter to Metropolitan Water District (MWD) requesting that they explore budget cuts
to reduce rate increases which are then passed on to ratepayers. From CWA’s standpoint rates will stay the same after identifying $44.5 million in savings and a plan to utilize $80 million from the rate stabilization fund for the next couple years to reduce the rate increase to its member agencies. Another challenge CWA is
addressing is reduced water sales. Though CWA is selling less water, it is also
purchasing less water, and from a financial standpoint, the reduced purchases have increased overall revenues 2%. He also shared that during a presentation of CWA’s Asset Management Program, Otay WD was mentioned as a partner who is collaborating with CWA on the program and integrating it with their GIS system. He
indicated an annual update was provided on the Carlsbad Desalination Plant and it
was reported that the production cost for an acre foot of water from the plant is approximately $2800. CWA was reviewing ways to reduce this cost and found that power was a major contributor to production cost. For the first month, CWA was able to do a paper transfer of the power from the Rancho Penasquitos Hydro
Station directly into the Carlsbad Desalination Plant which allowed CWA to avoid
paying retail rate for power. Staff will continue to explore ways to buy wholesale power as opposed to SDG&E retail power. He noted that Chair Croucher presided
7
over his first CWA meeting and he shared things he would like to accomplish over
the next two years, which included, providing training to members of the board
(leadership training, diversity training, etc.) and scheduling a board retreat sometime next year. He stated he would like to see Otay WD do the same. 15. DIRECTORS' REPORTS/REQUESTS
Directors Smith, Thompson, Gastelum and Robak reported that they submitted their written report to District Secretary Cruz, which will be attached to the minutes for today’s meeting.
16. CLOSED SESSION
General Manager Martinez indicated that he did not have anything to report on COVID-19 in closed session and there would be no need to meet in closed session.

5.DIRECTORS COMMENTS
President Croucher shared that he had prepared a statement. However, becausehe was not feeling well, he requested that his statement be read into the record.General Counsel Dan Shinoff read his statement which follows:
“We first addressed the issue before us this afternoon in March 2017. At that time, the Board found the comments of Director Gastelum on social media to be derogatory, offensive and adverse to the values and mission of the District. The Board took action to censure Director Gastelum with a
commitment to monitor any future activity in light of his incendiary comments.
AGENDA ITEM 5
2
Most recently, in June and July of this year, Director Gastelum again posted
comments on social media which were derogatory and offensive. On July 9,
2020, the Board took action to censure him for his shameful comments. At that meeting, Director Gastelum apologized for the tone, frustration, and aggression of his comments and added that for the rest of his life he will atone for the postings; I actually believed him. The rhetorical question I have
today for Director Gastelum whether he was mortified by his comments or
mortified that he was caught by the community so close to the election. People do make bad decisions, the real issue is whether they actually learn from them. The best evidence and measurement of truly being contrite is
your future actions. I am saddened to say barely a month later we find
ourselves in the same place. On August 11, 2020, Director Gastelum posted comments on social media which are inappropriate by any standard of decency and civility. The specific comments posted by Director Gastelum were directed at the Democratic Party’s Vice-Presidential nominee who is a
woman. They are disparaging and unacceptable.
This continued pattern of behavior is a serious and ugly stain on the good name of the District and the men and women who work hard to meet the daily water needs of this community and it is absolutely unacceptable.
Reducing a woman to her sexuality is about as low as anyone can stoop.
Defining any woman by whom they have had sex with or the amount of sex they have had is a terrible attack on their gender. I believe that these comments say more about the person making them than about their female targets.
As elected officials we are supposed to be role models. We must reinforce the District’s commitment to mutual respect and inclusivity of all the constituents of its diverse community. Comments by an elected official that degrade women, people of color, or immigrants send the opposite message
to the community. Although I am disgusted by Director Gastelum’s conduct,
he is an elected official, and as I explained when we last censured him, because he is an elected official and not an employee of the District, we can only issue a public censure and limit his committee assignments in response to his misconduct.
I fully endorse Resolution No. 4386 to censure Director Gastelum for his reprehensible and intolerable comments on social media. Resolution No. 4386 documents that Director Gastelum’s efforts to disparage immigrants, people of color, and women are unprofessional, disrespectful, and they
violate the District’s ethical values of mutual respect and inclusion. The
resolution also states that Director Gastelum’s behavior violates Board of Directors Policy No. 40, Ethics, and it is official misconduct. Director Gastelum’s misconduct has had additional adverse affects for the
District. It is time consuming and expensive to address his behavior at a
special board meeting and it shifts the focus away from attending to the District’s business and current regional water issues. Because Director
3
Gastelum’s seat is up for reelection in November, we anticipate that his
shameful and inexcusable conduct will continue until the elections take place
and perhaps beyond. So this censure will apply not only to Director Gastelum’s recent misconduct, but also to his anticipated future misconduct. Any of the other Directors are welcome comment. Director Gastelum will also have an opportunity to respond.”
6. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD ON ANY SUBJECT MATTER WITHIN THE BOARD'S JURISDICTION BUT NOT AN ITEM ON TODAY'S AGENDA
General Counsel Shinoff also read into the record some of the comments received
from the public via email. He stated, in addition to the comments that he will read into the record, there were an additional seven (7) emails received from the public. Those comments will be attached to the minutes of this meeting as part of the record. He stated they express similar sentiment and requests that the board adopt
Resolution No. 4386 to censure Director Gastelum.
Emails from the public: Liza Tuscano:
My name is Liza Tuscano and I live in Chula Vista. I have had the displeasure of interacting with your Board Member Hector Gastelum in a Facebook group for parents and educators and observing his distasteful words in other Facebook groups. I know for a fact that many will speak
about his conduct in other community groups, so I will speak specifically to
the interaction I had with him in the Chula Vista and Sweetwater Parents and Teachers for Quality Education group. In this group, he described public
schools as a “cancer,” called teachers corrupt and accused educators of teaching kids hate – all while he posts bigotry and hatred and misogyny
wherever he goes. Most notably on his wall, as can be seen from
screenshots shared by other disgusted and outraged community members. I
know this isn’t the first time he has been censured and I know that he considers it inconsequential because he still has a voice through his vote as he stated recently in an interview with the Union Tribune. I challenge the
Otay Water District to find a legal way to censure not just him, but also his
vote on issues. If not now, then for the future. In the meantime, I also challenge you to make a very public and clear disclaimer disavowing Hector Gastelum on all your social media, print materials, and any other communications to the public – continuously now and continuously at
election time.
Nan Sterman: I am shocked and horrified by Director Gastelum’s Tweets about vice
presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Gastelum’s comments are sexist and
misogynistic and absolutely inappropriate regardless of the woman they are aimed at. He should be censored and removed from his position. There is
4
no place in elected life for a person with his attitude and bad judgement. I
certainly do not feel comfortable having him in a position where he is making
decisions that affects my well-being, my family’s well-being, my neighbors’
and my community’s well-being. What other bad decisions is he making?
We don’t need bad apples like him on the board.
Liz Vinas:
I am a California native and voter. It is despicable that an adult occupying a position to lead others in a government agency like the Otay Water District like Director Gastelum posts pictures of women alluding to sexual acts to
demean her. It is beyond common decency and speaks to his character.
Please take action. Director Gastelum represents you, because you either
accept this, or don’t. Anne Adelson-Rodriguez:
I will make this short because I just learned that I could give my input publicly and only have a few minutes to do so. I was extremely disturbed to see
Hector Gastelum’s social media post. I would have been disturbed at such a post if it was done by anyone, that it was done by an elected official is truly
appalling. This person needs to be kicked off the board. He has no business
representing us anywhere in America and especially right here. He needs to publicly apologize. He needs to be kicked off the water board and I want to know if there is a way to legally discipline him. Can he be fined or is there a way to make him pay through doing some sort of public service. This guy
does not need to be allowed to represent anyone, especially any of us in the
United States of America. Margaret Baker:
On behalf of South Bay People Power, we strongly urge the Board to adopt
Resolution 4386 to censure Director Hector Gastelum. Racism and misogyny have no place in our government. He continues to disgrace and defame our public spaces and we demand accountability.
Comments received at the board meeting from Public Participants:
Mr. Robert Derringer of Chula Vista indicated that in life we all have the misfortune of encountering people who are so insecure and lacking in empathy that they mock, insult and bully people. Particularly people of different ethnicities, religions, of the
opposite sex, or who are simply perceived as different. He stated that he feels that
silence in this situation is complicity. Mr. Derringer indicated that he is speaking today to address the actions of Director Gastelum who consistently behaves like the individuals he described. He recalled him from Facebook interaction during the last city of Chula Vista mayoral elections where he espoused Islamic phobic views and
used belligerent language to all who called him out for his abhorrent behavior. He
stated that he felt Director Gastelum is leaving a stain on our community, on this board, and on the human race in general. He has been censured before and
5
seems to thrive on the negative attention. Director Gastelum has publicly stated
that he is happy to not be appointed to any committees, which clearly demonstrates
that he is not on the board to set policy or to engage in meaningful work on behalf of his constituents. He asked the board to do more than censure Director Gastelum as he has shown neither the interest nor the capability to behave like a decent adult human being. He stated that Director Gastelum should be removed from the board
for ethical violations or be forced to sacrifice his pay as a board member. He
indicated that he supported Resolution No. 4386. Mr. Jose Lopez, former board member and resident of Bonita, indicated that he represented Division 4, which is the same seat that Director Gastelum now
represents. He indicated that in the 16 years that he served on the board, they had
many controversies and challenges that preceded him and his fellow board members. They managed to address some of those issues and did not always agree amongst themselves, but still addressed the issues in a professional manner. He stated they conducted themselves in a manner that demonstrated respect
between members of the board and the constituents they represented. The
community that all board members represent includes South Bay, Chula Vista, Jamul, Spring Valley, etc., are amongst the most diversified in the County of San Diego. He indicated having an elected board member that uses his freedom of speech to denounce or degrade members of that community on the basis of gender,
race, or religion should not be tolerated. He stated Director Gastelum knows this
very well as he was censored in April 2017 for comments he posted on social media. This past June and July of 2020, however, indicates that he really did not learn a lesson or had taken the censorship seriously. His remarks on women are appalling. He stated that he supports the censorship and that it is warranted. He
said he felt that Director Gastelum should resign from the board out of respect for
those he represents. 7. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4386 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT TO CENSURE DIRECTOR
HECTOR GASTELUM FOR OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT
A motion was made by Director Thompson , seconded by Director Robak to adopt Resolution No. 4386.
Director Gastelum indicated that he was disappointed that there was more outrage
with his comments concerning Senator Kamala Harris’ record of dating a married man for career advancement than of Senator Harris and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown committing adultery. He stated that he stands one hundred percent behind his criticism of Senator Harris for her reprehensible home wrecking
actions. He stated that his criticism of Senator Harris is one hundred percent
related to her lack of moral character as a person who is willing to destroy a family in order to achieve career advancement and had nothing to do with her ethnicity, color of her skin, gender, sexual orientation, religion or lack thereof, or any other protected class. He stated that women should be treated with dignity, respect, and
professionalism and he stands behind this. He stated if we have someone who is
trying to become Vice President and she slept around and dated married men to achieve the position she is in, it is horrible. Not just for women who are trying to
6
achieve career advancement, but for the example it sets. He indicated for the
community to be more outraged by his describing what actually happened, than
what did happen, was a head shaker for him. Director Thompson stated that he felt like he was in Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day movie, where he relives the same day every day. He said he feels that as long as
Director Gastelum is on the board, they will continue to experience “groundhog
day”. He indicated that he wished to read some of the things Director Gastelum has posted as he wished them to be placed on the record. In Feb 2017 he posted:
“Let’s pressure our legislators to increase list of so called Muslim ban to
prevent subhuman scum from US to MAGA.”
“I am denouncing and classifying Muslims who rape, gang rape, stone women to death, throw homosexuals from the roof and who are pedophiles as subhuman.”
These comments encouraged about 100 people to attend the District’s March 2017 board meeting to address Director Gastelum’s comments. He stated that he and Director Smith proposed a censure at that time and Director Gastelum was removed
from his committee appointments. That action deterred Director Gastelum’s
behavior for a time, but then he posted the following in June/July 2020:
“Thank God America was founded by white Christian men. By contrast look at how things turned out in Africa. How many of you want to relocate? So
shut the fxxx-up and get a job. Because we need all Americans to make
America great!” He stated that Director Gastelum took responsibility after he posted this comment to social media and said that he would make it his life’s mission to be judged by his
actions as opposed to a post that he was embarrassed by and took down 45
minutes later. Director Thompson noted that Director Gastelum then posted the following in August 2020:
“Nothing is more damaging to the equality for women movement than a whxxx like Kamala Harris who fxxxs the boss for career advancement, and Kamala, what do you attribute your success to?”
He indicated that Senator Harris is the Vice-Presidential candidate for one of the
major U.S. political parties and when he shared Director Gastelum’s comments with his family, they were outraged at his assault on women and all women of color. He shared that when he started working for the County of San Diego and was first involved in public issues, there was not a single Latino on any public agency board,
nor were there persons of color working for the County. He stated the reason we
have a diverse community and population of elected officials is because of the work of the Latino civil rights movement. They are all proud of the diversity we see
7
everywhere in the community and in the staff of the Otay WD. He stated that
Director Gastelum is tarnishing the image of the District and he asked him to cease
and desist posting comments and that he should learn how to conduct himself in a distinguished and reasonable manner whether or not he stays on the District’s board.
President Croucher indicated that he is aware that this issue has impacted the
District’s employees and he wished to assure those employees who commented on this issue that this action being taken today represents the District’s policies discussed at today’s meeting. He stated that Director Gastelum’s comments are not reflective of the District and the Board and he apologized to the employees and
customers. He ensured them that they would do better.
The motion by Director Thompson and seconded by Director Robak was carried with the following vote:
Ayes: Directors Croucher, Robak and Thompson
Noes: Director Gastelum Abstain: None Absent: Director Smith
to adopt Resolution No. 4386 to censure Director Gastelum for official misconduct.
8. ADJOURNMENT With no further business to come before the board, President Croucher adjourned
the meeting at 2:38 p.m.

Comments Received by Email from the Public on August 21, 2020
1) Dear Board, Please adopt Resolution 4386 to censure Director Gastelum. Hate, misogyny, and racism have no place in our government. Thank you, Emily Green
2) Please adopt resolution 4386 to censure director Gastelum. Racism and misogyny have no place in our government. He has made it abundantly clear that he cannot lead fairly and with no bias.
His misogyny, racism, sexism and xenophobia is not patriotic. It is the very antithesis of what this country stands for. He is not Patriotic, he is simply a bully. Censure him and then to the voters of this county-- you deserve better. Vote him out!
Melissa Fernandes
3) Please adopt resolution 4386 to censure director Gastelum. Racism and misogyny have no place in our government.
Sincerely,
Judy McLean 4) “Please adopt resolution 4386 to censure director Gastelum. Racism and misogyny
have no place in our government.” His comments as a public servant are simply
outrageous and have no place in civilized society. Glee Hotchkin
5) To whom it may concern,
As a member of this community, I am appalled by the way Mr. Gastélum chooses to behave on his social media. Even if he does claim his actions have nothing to do with his position in the district.
This is not the first time we have read Mr. Gastélum’s offensive and disrespectful
posts on social media. His behaviors are beyond professional and a person with his stature should act accordingly. His post and tweets and derogatory remarks are demeaning and offensive to many.
Please adopt resolution 4386 to censure director Gastelum. Racism and misogyny
have no place in our government. Thank you Cynthia Torres

6) Please adopt resolution 4386 to censure director Gastelum. Racism and misogyny have no place in our government. Free speech cannot be punished criminally but it can have consequences.
Leona Pfeifer
7) Racism and misogyny have no place in our community and especially in local government positions. Director Gastelum’s public comments calling Senator Harris
a whore are disgusting, vile and shows what a true pig he is. Not only should he be
censured, he should be removed from office and permanently barred. Doing anything less is shameful. Christine Edwards
8) Hello, I would like to make the following statement during today’s board meeting: Elected leaders and public servants are expected to abide by universal values
including integrity, respect and self-control. I find it upsetting and unacceptable that
one of our Board Members has not lived up to his civil responsibilities time and time again, even after being warned and censured. Hector Gastélum’s repeated racist, sexist and misogynistic comments on social media prove he is irresponsible and unfit to continue serving this Board. His hateful and divisive rhetoric poses a risk to
our community and will not be tolerated by constituents of the Otay Water District.
Thank You, Liz Murphy Chula Vista

Jose Martinez, General Manager
SUBJECT: Award an As-Needed Coating Inspection Services Contract to
Coating Specialists and Inspection Services, Inc. for Fiscal
Years 2021, 2022, and 2023
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
award a professional services agreement for As-Needed Coating
Inspection Services and to authorize the General Manager to execute
an agreement with Coating Specialists and Inspection Services, Inc.
(CSI Services) in an amount not-to-exceed $175,000 during Fiscal
Years 2021, 2022, and 2023 (ending June 30, 2023).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to enter into a
professional services agreement for As-Needed Coating Inspection
Services with CSI Services in an amount not-to-exceed $175,000 for
Fiscal Years 2021, 2022, and 2023.
AGENDA ITEM 7a
2
ANALYSIS:
The District will require the services of a professional coating
inspection consultant in support of the District’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), and more specifically, the Corrosion
Control Program for steel reservoirs, for the next three (3) fiscal
years. Due to the strict requirements for the surface preparation
and coating application on water storage tanks, the District uses a
third-party coating inspector to monitor, document, and verify
coatings are applied per the coating manufacturer’s specifications.
The District requires the coating inspector be certified by the
National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) as a Level III
Coating Inspector. The Coating Inspector’s tasks include, but are
not limited to, submitting daily reports detailing the contractor’s
activities, periodic testing, and overall quality control for the
recoating procedures.
It is more efficient and cost effective to issue an as-needed
contract for coating inspection services, which will provide the
District with the ability to obtain consulting services in a timely
and efficient manner. This concept has also been used in the past
for other disciplines such as design engineering, construction
management, geotechnical, and environmental services.
The CIP projects that will require coating inspection services for
the duration of this contract are listed below:
The coating inspection scopes of work for the above CIP projects are
estimated from preliminary information and past CIP projects.
Therefore, staff believes that a $175,000 cap on the As-Needed
Coating Inspection Services contract is adequate, while still
providing additional capacity for unforeseen support needs by the
District.
This As-Needed Coating Inspection Services contract does not commit
the District to any expenditure until a task order is approved to
perform work on a CIP project. The District does not guarantee work

to the consultant, nor does the District guarantee that it will
expend all of the funds authorized by the contract on professional
services.
The District solicited for coating inspection services by placing an
advertisement on the Otay Water District’s website and using BidSync,
the District’s online bid solicitation website on August 27, 2020.
Six (6) firms submitted a letter of interest and a statement of
qualifications. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for As-Needed Coating
Inspection Services was sent to all six (6) firms. Only one firm,
CSI Services from Santa Clarita, CA, submitted a proposal on the due
date of October 8, 2020. The following firms did not submit a
proposal:
•Bay Area Coating Consultants, Denair, CA
•Diversified Project Services International, Long Beach, CA
•Industrial Inspection and Consulting, Tempe, AZ
•Industrial Repair Services, Irvine, CA
•Quality Coatings Inspection and Consulting, Sedro-Woolley, WA
Staff contacted the firms and asked why they did not propose. Bay
Area Coatings stated the District relies too much on fee for
selection, Diversified Project Services said it was not a good fit,
Industrial Inspections was too busy to provide a proposal, Industrial
Repair did not have an available NACE III inspector, and Quality
Coatings did not respond.
Two firms, Corrpro and RF Yeager, proposed on the last RFP, but
elected not to propose on this solicitation.
CSI Services has provided coating inspection services to the District
for the last four (4) years. They have been able to meet the
District’s needs for inspection services and have also provided
services for warranty work. During the last selection for coating
inspection, we selected two firms, CSI Services and RF Yeager. A
year after the contracts were signed, RF Yeager’s coating inspector
left the firm. RF Yeager was unable to complete the contract. For
the duration of the contract, CSI Services was able to meet the
District’s needs. Their hourly rate was $96.45 vs. RF Yeager’s
hourly rate of $125.00. CSI Services current rate for this contract
is $105.25.
A panel of five (5) staff members reviewed CSI Services’ proposal and
all agreed that the firm was qualified to perform the services based
on their experience, understanding of the scope of work, proposed
method to accomplish the work, and their composite hourly rate.
4
CSI Services submitted the Company Background Questionnaire, as
required by the RFP, and staff did not find any significant issues.
In addition, staff checked their references and performed an internet
search on the company. Staff found the references to be excellent
and did not find any outstanding issues with the internet search.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The funds for this contract will be expended on a variety of
projects, as previously noted above. This contract is for as-needed
professional services based on the District's need and schedule, and
expenditures will not be made until a task order is approved by the
District for the consultant's services on a specific CIP project.
The FY 2021 budget is sufficient to support the As-Needed Coating
Inspection Services required. The Project Manager anticipates that
the FY 2022 and FY 2023 budgets, if approved, will be sufficient to
support the coating inspection services for those fiscal years.
The Project Manager has determined that funding will be available
from the Replacement fund, as outlined in the individual CIP project
budgets described above.
GRANTS/LOANS:
Engineering staff researched and explored grants and loans and found
none available for this Project.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To provide
exceptional water and wastewater service to its customers, and to
manage District resources in a transparent and fiscally responsible
manner” and the General Manager’s Vision, "To be a model water agency
by providing stellar service, achieving measurable results, and
continuously improving operational practices."
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

Fiscal Years 2021, 2022, and 2023
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee (Committee)
reviewed this item at a meeting held on November 30, 2020 and the
following comments were made:
•Staff recommended that the Board award a professional services
agreement for As-Needed Coating Inspection Services to Coating
Specialists and Inspection Services, Inc. (CSI Services) in an
amount not-to-exceed $175,000 during Fiscal Years 2021, 2022, and
2023 (ending June 30, 2023).
•It was indicated, in response to several questions and comments
from the Committee, that there is a staff member who is well
qualified to provide coating inspection services for the
District. However, due to the significant amount of workload,
staff determined that As-Needed Coating Inspection Services will
be needed from a third-party. The Committee recommended that
staff also consider shared resources with surrounding agencies.
•In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated that
CSI Services’ proposed contract does not include fees for
Administrative Services. The company will only charge the
District an hourly fee for Inspection Services. Staff indicated
that CSI Services’ hourly rate on the last contract was
approximately 10% less.
•Staff stated that the first three (3) tanks listed on Page 2 of
the staff report will be re-coated over the next three years, and
the remaining three (3) tanks will be in their warranty period.
The coating inspector will monitor any repairs needed at the end
of the warranty.
•As recommended by the Committee and subsequent to the meeting,
the District reached out to other water agencies to identify
qualifications of their staff who perform coating inspections in
the event the District needed this assistance in the future.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board as a consent item.

Hill Waterline Replacement Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
authorize the General Manager to execute the Final Contract Change
Order No. 3 to the existing construction contract with LB Civil
Construction, Inc. (LB Civil) in the reduced amount of ($174,241.91)
for the Dictionary Hill Waterline Replacement project (Project) (see
Exhibits A and B for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to execute the
Final Contract Change Order No. 3 to reduce the existing contract in
an amount not-to-exceed ($174,241.91) for the Project.
AGENDA ITEM 7b
2
ANALYSIS:
Dictionary Hill, located in Spring Valley just north of Sweetwater
Reservoir, is a neighborhood with beautiful views, steep roads, and
deep canyons. The District maintains potable water pipelines in the
area, most of which were constructed in the late 1950’s – 1960’s,
making it the oldest service area in the District.
The Dictionary Hill Water Line Replacement Project - 2019 (Project)
combines three (3) CIPs into a larger bid package to attract more
contractors to bid. The scope of work generally consists of
constructing approximately 1,250 linear feet of 8-inch Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) water line and 60 linear feet of 12-inch PVC water
line, including appurtenances, rehabilitation of services, surface
restoration, traffic control, and all testing and inspection as
required by the Contract Documents. The three (3) CIPs are described
below:
P2608 - PL - 8-inch, 850 Zone, Coronado Ave, Chestnut/Apple
The existing 6-inch asbestos-cement (AC) pipeline in Coronado Avenue
is connected to the 640 Pressure Zone. This CIP will replace 1,300
linear feet of this pipeline with a new 8-inch PVC pipeline. The new
pipeline will be connected to the higher 850 Pressure Zone to
increase the pressure to residents at the high point of the street.
This will also improve fire flow for the area. Also, as part of the
CIP, approximately 286 feet of new 8-inch PVC pipe will be
constructed in Birch Street to connect the new pipeline to the 850
Pressure Zone.
This CIP was scheduled to be constructed during Fiscal Year 2021,
however, during the planning stage in early 2019, the County of San
Diego (County) repaved Coronado Avenue. Per County regulations,
there is a three (3) year no-cut policy on new asphalt concrete
pavement. The County has stated that they intend to repave Birch in
the next few years.
To coordinate this work with the County’s paving work, the District
will split this CIP into two phases. This phase will install the
Birch Street portion (286 feet of 8-inch PVC) as part of this
Project. The Coronado Avenue portion will be constructed after the
paving moratorium has expired.
3
P2609 - PL - 8-inch, 1004 Zone, Eucalyptus St, Coronado/Date/La Mesa
This CIP will abandon the existing 6-inch pipeline located within a
10-foot side yard easement that is inaccessible due to the steep
slopes and dwellings in close proximity of the easement. The
pipeline was built in 1965 and has experienced leaks. To facilitate
the abandonment of the problematic pipeline, the surrounding 4-inch
and 6-inch pipelines will be upsized to maintain fire flow in the
immediate area. The approximate total length of pipeline to be
replaced is 1,600 linear feet.
This CIP also had to be split into two phases to coordinate with the
County’s paving schedule. The Project will replace 955 feet of 4-
inch and 6-inch AC pipe with new 8-inch PVC pipe. This will include
the pipelines in Coronado Avenue and Date Street. The nearby
residents will be served through a temporary high-line during the
construction. The La Mesa Avenue portion of the CIP was repaved in
the summer of 2019 and is currently under the County’s three (3) year
moratorium. This portion will be completed once the paving
moratorium has eclipsed.
P2655 – La Presa Pipeline Improvements
This CIP will replace various 6-inch AC pipes and valves around the
southwestern area of Dictionary Hill. Replacing these pipelines,
installed circa 1959, with an 8-inch PVC pipeline will improve the
fire flow in the area. This CIP also includes relocating an existing
12-inch AC pipe for the County’s replacement storm drain crossing in
Kempton Street, near the Kempton Street Elementary School. The
County requested the District to fast track the pipeline relocation.
The Project will replace 60 feet of 12-inch AC pipe with new 12-inch
PVC pipe at a lower elevation. The lowering is required to
accommodate the County’s replacement of the existing storm drain
culvert. The County has prior rights; therefore, the District will
be responsible for the waterline relocation cost.
At the March 11, 2020 Board Meeting, the Board awarded a construction
contract in the amount of $1,345,315.00 to LB Civil. Since
the award of the construction contract, two (2) change orders have
been approved.
Change Order No. 1, which totaled $24,066.62, compensated the
contractor for changes associated with the Districts desire to
minimize customer impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The District
requested the contractor to incorporate two 6-inch temporary line
stop valves on Birch Avenue to eliminate a 4 to 8-hour service impact
to 45 customers by allowing the required tee to be isolated without
4
impacting the customers. Change Order No. 1 did not add any days to
the 180-calendar day contract.
Change Order No. 2, which totaled $47,752.31, compensated the
contractor for increases to quantities for bid items 6, 11, 12, 44, &
52. In addition, this change order compensated the contractor for
asphalt grind and asphalt cap paving of 450 SF on each Birch Street
and Date Street as well as for the removal of an existing blow-off on
Kempton Street. Change Order No. 2 did not add any days to the 180-
calendar day contract.
Final Contract Change Order No. 3, which is the subject of this staff
report, adjusts the contract quantities resulting from field
conditions for the following eleven (11) items, as detailed in the
attached Exhibit C:
1. Decreases the amount allocated for Bid Item 20, Remove
and Dispose of Asbestos Cement Pipe (ACP), by $600.00.
2. Decreases the amount allocated for Bid Item 21, 8-inch
PVC DR 14 Water Pipe, by $5,600.00.
3. Increases the amount allocated for Bid Item 32, Asphalt
Concrete Pavement Removal and Replacement, by $31,530.00.
4. Decreases the amount allocated for Bid Item 45, Remove
Rock by Hydraulic Breaker Method, by $44,750.00.
5. Decreases the amount allocated for Bid Item 46, Remove
Rock by Chemical Breaking Method, by $50,000.00.
6. Decreases the amount allocated for Bid Item 47,
Unsuitable Soils, by $48,000.00.

not-to-exceed a reduction of ($174,241.91) to the
Construction Contract with LB Civil Construction, Inc. for
the Dictionary Hill Waterline Replacement Project
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee (Committee)
reviewed this item at a meeting held on November 30, 2020 and the
following comments were made:
• In response to questions and comments from the Committee, staff
stated that a total amount of reduction without allowances for
Change Order No. 3 will be provided to the board. Currently, the
($174,241.91) reduction amount includes allowances. The
($174,241.91) reduction will be reflected in the Second Quarter
Fiscal Year 2021 CIP Budget Report within the Change Order
Percentage (With and Without Allowances).
• The Committee inquired about feedback from residents. Staff
stated that the District received positive feedback from
residents and indicated that public outreach efforts were
provided on a regular basis to minimize impacts to the community.
The Committee recommended that staff reach out to random
residents within the area to solicit feedback of the District’s
overall handling of the project. It was noted that staff will
coordinate the public outreach as recommended by the Committee
and will provide an update in the General Manager’s Report once
completed.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board as a consent item.

SUBJECT: Approval of Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
(November 2020) for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase
3 Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors
(Board) approve the Water Supply Assessment Report and
Verification (WSA&V Report) dated November 2020 for the City of
Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project, as required by Senate
Bills 610 and 221 (see Exhibit A for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board approval of the November 2020 WSA&V Report for
the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project, as required
by Senate Bill 610 and Senate Bill 221 (SB 610 and SB 221).
ANALYSIS:
The City of Chula Vista (City) submitted a request to the
District for a WSA&V Report, pursuant to SB 610 and SB 221. SB
610 and SB 221 require that, upon the request of a City or
County, a water purveyor, such as the District, prepare a water
supply assessment and verification report to be included in the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental
documentation. SB 610 requires the city or county to evaluate
AGENDA ITEM 8a
2
whether water supplies will be sufficient to meet the projected
water demand for certain “projects” that are otherwise subject
to the requirement of the CEQA. SB 221 requires written
verification from the water purveyor of the public water system
that sufficient water supplies are planned to be available for
certain residential subdivisions of property. The requirements
of SB 610 and SB 221 are addressed by the November 2020 WSA&V
Report for this Project. The WSA&V Report was prepared by the
District in consultation with Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc.,
the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority), and the
City of Chula Vista (City).
Prior to transmittal to the City, the WSA&V Report must be
approved by the Board of Directors. An additional explanation
of the intent of SB 610 and SB 221 is provided in Exhibit B.
The City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project WSA&V Report
is provided as Exhibit C.
The proposed project entitlement includes a Chula Vista General
Plan Amendment, a Sunbow General Development Plan Amendment, a
Sunbow Sectional Planning Area Amendment, Rezone, and tentative
map. The proposed project also includes a Chula Vista Multiple
Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Boundary Adjustment to
implement minor adjustments to the development limits and the
adjacent MSCP Preserve areas that would result in a 0.7-acre
increase to the MSCP Preserve Area. The City is having an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for development of
the 135.7-acre site. The land use plan previously proposed
industrial development, but now proposes a residential land use.
The project is located along Olympic Parkway, just east of
Brandywine Avenue, in the City of Chula Vista.
The project proposes 718 multi-family residential units within a
project area of 135.7-acres. The proposed development footprint
would be approximately 69.0-acres, which would consist of 44.2-
acres of residential, a 0.9-acre Community Purpose Facility
(CPF) site, 5.9-acres of public streets and 18.1 manufactured
slopes/basins/wetland resource and associated buffer area. The
proposed project also includes approximately 3.9-acres of
proposed Poggi Canyon Easement area and 62.8-acres of MSCP
Preserve area.
The expected potable water demand for the Sunbow II, Phase 3
project is 122,060 gallons per day (GPD) or about 136.7 acre-
feet per year (AFY). This is 84.7 AFY higher than the projected
demands in the District’s 2015 Water Facilities Master Plan,
which estimated 52 AFY for 54.7 acres of industrial use.
3
Recycled water will also be used for irrigation of manufactured
slopes and common areas. The projected recycled water demand
for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is 24,510 GPD, or about 27.5
AFY.
The 84.7 AFY increase in demand is accounted for through the
Accelerated Forecasted Growth demand increment of the Water
Authority’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). As
documented in the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, the Water
Authority is planning to meet future and existing demands, which
includes the demand increment associated with the accelerated
forecasted growth. The Water Authority will assist its member
agencies in tracking the environmental documents provided by the
agencies that include water supply assessments and verifications
reports that utilize the accelerated forecasted growth demand
increment to demonstrate supplies for the development.
The District prepared the WSA&V Report in consultation with
Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc., the Water Authority, and the
City, which demonstrates and documents that sufficient water
supplies are planned for and are intended to be made available
over a 20-year planning horizon under normal supply conditions,
in single and multiple-dry years to meet the projected demand of
the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project and other planned development
projects within the District.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The District has been reimbursed $5,000 for all costs associated
with the preparation of the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase
3 Project WSA&V Report. The reimbursement was accomplished via
a $5,000 deposit the Project proponents placed with the
District.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The preparation and approval of the WSA&V Report for the City of
Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project supports the District’s
Mission statement, “To provide exceptional water and wastewater
service to its customers, and to manage District resources in a
transparent and fiscally responsible manner” and the General
Manager’s Vision, "To be a model water agency by providing
stellar service, achieving measurable results, and continuously
improving operational practices."

LEGAL IMPACT:
Approval of a WSA&V Report for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow
II, Phase 3 Project in form and content satisfactory to the
Board of Directors would allow the District to comply with the
requirements of Senate Bills 610 and 221.

Approval of Water Supply Assessment and Verification
Report (November 2020) for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow
II, Phase 3 Project
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee
(Committee) reviewed this item at a meeting held on November 30,
2020 and the following comments were made:
• Staff recommended that the Board approve the Water Supply
Assessment Report and Verification (WSA&V Report) dated
November 2020 for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase
3 Project, as required by Senate Bills 610 and 221 (see
Exhibit A for Project location).
• Staff discussed the background of the City of Chula Vista
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project and indicated that it is located
along Olympic Parkway, in the City of Chula Vista. Details
of the Project are provided on pages 2 and 3 of the staff
report.
• As stated in the staff report, the water demand and supply
forecasts for this project are included in the planning
documents of the Metropolitan Water District, the Water
Authority, and the Otay Water District and the actions
necessary to develop the identified water supplies are
documented.
• In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated
that the District is expected to align with CWA on
population and water demand projections for the next Urban
Water Management Plan update. The Committee recommended
that staff reach out to other water agencies to identify
their intentions to either align with CWA’s population and
water demand projections or if they will be developing
their own projections and prepare a future update to the
Board.
• At the recommendation of the Committee, staff revised page
2 of the staff report to indicate that the location of the
project is east of Brandywine Avenue in Chula Vista.
Following the discussion, the Committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation of this item to the full board
on the action calendar.

EXHIBIT B Background Information
The Otay Water District (District) prepared the November 2020 Water Supply Assessment and Verification (WSA&V) Report for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project at the request of the City of Chula Vista (City). The City’s WSA&V request letter dated November 4, 2020 was received electronically by the District on
November 4, 2020 so the 90-day deadline for the District to provide the Board an
approved WSA&V Report to the County ends February 1, 2021. The City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project is located within the jurisdictions of the District, the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority), and the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). See Exhibit A for Project
location. To obtain permanent imported water supply service, land areas are required to be within the jurisdictions of the District, Water Authority, and MWD. The November 2020 WSA&V Report for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3
Project has been prepared by the District in consultation with Dexter Wilson
Engineering, Inc., the Water Authority, and the County, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151.9 and California Water Code Sections 10631, 10656, 10910, 10911, 10912, and 10915 referred to as Senate Bill (SB) 610 and Government Code Sections 65867.5, 66455.3, and 66473.7 referred to as SB 221. SB 610 and SB 221
amended state law, effective January 1, 2002, intending to improve the link between
information on water supply availability and certain land use decisions made by cities and counties. SB 610 requires that the water purveyor of the public water system prepare a water supply assessment to be included in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental documentation and approval process of certain
proposed projects. SB 221 requires affirmative written verification from the water
purveyor of the public water system that sufficient water supplies are to be available for certain residential subdivision of property. The requirements of SB 610 and SB 221 are addressed in the November 2020 WSA&V Report for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project. The expected potable water demand for the City of Chula Vista
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project is 122,060 gallons per day (GPD) or about 136.7 acre-feet
per year (AFY).
Therefore, based on the findings from the Otay WD’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, this Project will result in no
unanticipated demands.
The District currently depends on the Water Authority and the MWD for all of its potable water supplies and regional water resource planning. The District’s 2015 UWMP relies
heavily on the UWMP’s and Integrated Water Resources Plans (IRPs) of the Water
Authority and MWD for documentation of supplies available to meet projected demands.
These plans are developed to manage the uncertainties and variability of multiple
2
supply sources and demands over the long-term through preferred water resources strategy adoption and resource development target approvals for implementation.
MWD, in January 2016, approved the update of their Integrated Water Resources Plan
(IRP). The 2015 IRP Update describes an adaptive management approach to mitigate against future water supply uncertainty. The new uncertainties that are significantly
affecting California’s water resources include:
• The State Water Project (SWP) supplies which are affected by a changing climate and the operational constraints in the ecologically struggling Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
• Periodic extended drought conditions. These uncertainties have rightly caused concern among Southern California water supply agencies regarding the validity of the current water supply documentation.
MWD is currently involved in several proceedings concerning Delta operations to evaluate and address environmental concerns. In addition, at the State level, the Delta Vision and Bay-Delta Conservation Plan processes are defining long-term solutions for the Delta.
The SWP represents approximately 9% of MWD’s 2025 Dry Resources Mix, with the supply buffer included. A 22% cutback in SWP supply represents an overall 2% (22% of 9% is 2%) cutback in MWD supplies in 2025. Neither the Water Authority nor MWD has stated that there is insufficient water for future planning in Southern California.
Each agency is in the process of reassessing and reallocating their water resources.
Under preferential rights, MWD can allocate water without regard to historic water purchases or dependence on MWD. Therefore, the Water Authority and its member agencies are taking measures to reduce dependence on MWD through development of
additional supplies and a water supply portfolio that would not be jeopardized by a
preferential rights allocation.
As calculated by MWD, the Water Authority’s current preferential right is 18.27% of
MWD’s supply, while the Water Authority accounted for approximately 22% of MWD’s
total revenue. So MWD could theoretically cut back the Water Authority’s supply and
theoretically, the Water Authority should have alternative water supply sources to make up for the difference. In the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, they had already planned to reduce reliance on MWD supplies. This reduction is planned to be achieved through diversification of their water supply portfolio.
The Water Authority’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (August 2017) provides the Water Authority and its member agencies with a series of potential actions to engage when faced with a shortage of imported water supplies due to prolonged drought
3
conditions. Such actions help avoid or minimize impacts of shortages and ensure an equitable allocation of supplies throughout the San Diego County region.
The Otay Water District Board of Directors could acknowledge the ever-present
challenge of balancing water supply with demand and the inherent need to possess a flexible and adaptable water supply implementation strategy that can be relied upon during normal and dry weather conditions. The responsible regional water supply agencies have and will continue to adapt their resource plans and strategies to meet
climatological, environmental, and legal challenges so that they may continue to provide
water supplies to their service areas. The regional water suppliers (i.e., the Water Authority and MWD), along with the District, fully intend to maintain sufficient reliable supplies through the 20-year planning horizon under normal, single, and multiple-dry year conditions to meet projected demand of the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3
Project, along with existing and other planned development projects within the District’s
service area. If the regional water suppliers determine additional water supplies will be required, or in this case, that water supply portfolios need to be reassessed and redistributed with the
intent to serve the existing and future water needs throughout Southern California, the
agencies must indicate the status or stage of development of actions identified in the plans they provide. MWD’s 2015 IRP update will then cause the Water Authority to update its IRP, which will then provide the District with the necessary water supply documentation. Identification of a potential future action in such plans does not by itself
indicate that a decision to approve or to proceed with the action has been made. The
District’s Board approval of the Approval of Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report (November 2020) for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project WSA&V Report does not in any way guarantee water supply to the Project.
Alternatively, if the WSA&V Report is written to state that water supply is or will be
unavailable; the District must include, in the assessment, a plan to acquire additional water supplies. At this time, the District should not state there is insufficient water supply.
At the present time, based on the information available, the District is able to clearly
describe the current water supply situation, indicating intent to provide supply through reassessment and reallocation by the regional, as well as, the local water suppliers. In doing so, it is believed that the Board has met the intent of the SB 610 statute, that the land use agencies and the water agencies are coordinating their efforts in planning
water supplies for new development.
With District Board approval of the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project WSA&V Report, the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project can proceed with the draft environmental documentation required for the CEQA review process. The
water supply issues will be addressed in these environmental documents, consistent
with the WSA&V Report.
4
The District, as well as others, can comment on the draft EIR with recommendations that water conservation measures and actions be employed on the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project.
Some recent actions regarding water supply assessments and verification reports by Otay Water District are as follows:
• The Board approved the water supply assessment report for the Otay 250
Sunroad East Otay Mesa Business Park Specific Plan Amendment Project on July 6, 2016.
• The Board approved the water supply assessment report for the City of Chula Vista University Innovation District Project on October 5, 2016.
• The Board approved the water supply assessment report for the Otay Ranch
Resort Village Project on May 2, 2018.
• The Board approved the water supply assessment report for the County of San Diego Otay Ranch Village 14 and Planning Area 16/19 Proposed Project
Amendment on February 5, 2020.
Water supplies necessary to serve the demands of the proposed City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project, along with existing and other projected future users, as well as the actions necessary to develop these supplies, have been identified in the water
supply planning documents of the District, the Water Authority, and MWD.
The WSA&V Report includes, among other information, an identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, or agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed City of Chula Vista Sunbow II,
Phase 3 Project. The WSA&V Report demonstrates and documents that sufficient
water supplies are planned and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, under normal conditions and in single and multiple-dry years, to meet the projected demand of the proposed and the existing and other planned development projects within the District.
Accordingly, after approval of a WSA&V Report for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project by the District's Board of Directors, the WSA&V Report may be used to comply with the requirements of the legislation enacted by Senate Bills 610 and 221 as follows:
Senate Bill (SB) 610 Water Supply Assessment: The District's Board of Directors approved WSA&V Report may be incorporated into the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance process for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project as a water supply assessment report consistent with the requirements of the legislation enacted by SB 610. The City of Chula Vista, as lead agency under
the CEQA for the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project environmental
5
documentation, may cite the approved WSA&V Report as evidence that a sufficient water supply is planned and intended to be available to serve the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project.
Senate Bill (SB) 221 Water Supply Verification: The District's Board of Directors approved WSA&V Report may be incorporated into the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project as a water supply verification report, consistent with the requirements of the legislation enacted by SB 221. The County, within their process
of approving the City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project, may cite the
approved WSA&V Report as verification of intended sufficient water supply to serve the Project.

Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
November 2020
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
Executive Summary
The Otay Water District (Otay WD) prepared this Water Supply Assessment and Verification
Report (WSA&V Report) at the request of the City of Chula Vista (City) for the Sunbow II,
Phase 3 project.
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project Overview and Water Use
The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is located within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD, the San
Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority), and the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (MWD). In order to obtain permanent imported water supply service,
land areas are required to be within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD, Water Authority, and
MWD.
The proposed project entitlement includes a Chula Vista General Plan Amendment, a Sunbow
General Development Plan Amendment, a Sunbow Sectional Planning Area Amendment,
Rezone and tentative map. The proposed project also includes a Chula Vista MSCP
Boundary Adjustment to implement minor adjustments to the development limits and the
adjacent MSCP Preserve areas that would result in a 0.7-acre increase to MSCP Preserve
Area. The City is having an EIR prepared for development of the 135.7-acre site (Sunbow II,
Phase 3 project). The land use plan previously proposed industrial development, but now
proposes a residential land use with 718 multi-family units. The project is located along
Olympic Parkway in the City of Chula Vista.
The project proposes 718 multi-family residential units within a project area of 135.7 acres.
The proposed development footprint would be approximately 69.0 acres, which would consist
of 44.2 acres of residential, a 0.9-acre Community Purpose Facility (CPF) site, 5.9 acres of
public streets and 18 acres of manufactured slopes/basins/wetland resource and associated
buffer area. The proposed project also includes approximately 3.9 acres of proposed Poggi
Canyon Easement area and 62.8 acres of MSCP Preserve area.
The expected potable water demand for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is 122,060 gallons per
day (gpd) or about 136.7 acre feet per year (AFY). This is 84.7 AFY higher than the
projected demands in the District’s 2015 Water Facilities Master Plan which estimated 52
AFY for 54.7 acres of industrial use.
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
2
The 84.7 AFY increase in demand is accounted for through the Accelerated Forecasted
Growth demand increment of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP. As documented in the
Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, the Water Authority is planning to meet future and existing
demands which include the demand increment associated with the accelerated forecasted
growth. The Water Authority will assist its member agencies in tracking the environmental
documents provided by the agencies that include water supply assessments and verifications
reports that utilize the accelerated forecasted growth demand increment to demonstrate
supplies for the development. In addition, the next update of the demand forecast for the
Water Authority’s 2020 UWMP will be based on SANDAG’s most recently updated forecast,
which will include the Project. Therefore, based on the findings from the Otay WD’s 2015
UWMP and the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, this project will result in no unanticipated
demands.
Recycled water will be used for irrigation of manufactured slopes and common areas. The
projected recycled water demand for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is 24,510 gpd, or about
27.5 AFY.
Planned Imported Water Supplies from the Water Authority and MWD
The Water Authority and MWD have an established process that ensures supplies are being
planned to meet future growth. Any annexations and revisions to established land use plans
are captured in the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) updated forecasts for
land use planning, demographics, and economic projections. SANDAG serves as the
regional, intergovernmental planning agency that develops and provides forecast information.
The Water Authority and MWD update their demand forecasts and supply needs based on the
most recent SANDAG forecast approximately every five years to coincide with preparation of
their UWMP’s. Prior to the next forecast update, local jurisdictions with land use authority
may require water supply assessment and/or verification reports for proposed land
developments that are not within the Otay WD, Water Authority, or MWD jurisdictions (i.e.
pending or proposed annexations) or that have revised land use plans with either lower or
higher development intensities than reflected in the existing growth forecasts. Proposed land
areas with pending or proposed annexations, or revised land use plans, typically result in
creating higher demand and supply requirements than previously anticipated. The Otay WD,
Water Authority, and MWD next demand forecast and supply requirements and associated
planning documents would then capture any increase or decrease in demands and required
supplies as a result of annexations or revised land use planning decisions.
An important planning document utilized by MWD, the Water Authority and Otay WD is the
Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) which describes an agency’s long-term water plan. MWD’s
2015 IRP offers an adaptive management strategy to protect the region from future supply
shortages. This adaptive management strategy has five components: achieve additional
conservation savings, develop additional local water supplies, maintain Colorado River
Aqueduct supplies, stabilize State Water Project supplies, and maximize the effectiveness of
storage and transfer. MWD’s 2015 IRP has a plan for identifying and implementing
additional resources that expand the ability for MWD to meet future changes and challenges
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
3
as necessary to ensure future reliability of supplies. The proper management of these
resources help to ensure that the southern California region, including San Diego County, will
have adequate water supplies to meet long-term future demands.
Another important planning document is the UWMP. The California Urban Water
Management Planning Act (Act), which is included in the California Water Code, requires all
urban water suppliers within the state to prepare an UWMP and update it every five years.
The purpose and importance of the UWMP has evolved since it was enacted in 1983. State
agencies and the public frequently use the document to determine if agencies are planning
adequately to reliably meet future demands. As such, UWMPs serve as an important element
in documenting supply availability for the purpose of compliance with state laws, Senate Bills
610 and 221, linking water supply sufficiency to large land-use development approval.
Agencies must also have a UWMP prepared, pursuant to the Act, in order to be eligible for
state funding and drought assistance.
MWD’s 2015 UWMP Findings state that MWD has supply capabilities that would be
sufficient to meet expected demands from 2020 through 2040. MWD has plans for supply
implementation and continued development of a diversified resource mix including programs
in the Colorado River Aqueduct, State Water Project, Central Valley Transfers, local resource
projects, and in-region storage that enables the region to meet its water supply needs.
The County Water Authority Act, Section 5 subdivision 11, states that the Water Authority
“as far as practicable, shall provide each of its member agencies with adequate supplies of
water to meet their expanding and increasing needs.”
As part of preparation of a written water supply assessment report, an agency’s water shortage
contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency of supply. Section 11
of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP Update contain a detailed shortage contingency
analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought management.
The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies, through the
Integrated Contingency Plan, Emergency Storage Project, and Water Shortage Contingency
Plan are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle an interruption of water
supplies. The Water Shortage Contingency Plan provides the Water Authority and its
member agencies with a series of potential actions to take when faced with a shortage of
imported water supplies from MWD due to prolonged drought or other supply shortfall
conditions. The actions will help the region avoid or minimize the impacts of shortages and
ensure an equitable allocation of supplies.
Water supply agencies throughout California continue to face climate, environmental, legal,
and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions, such as the court rulings
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta issues and reoccurring droughts impacting the
western states. Even with these ever-present challenges, the Water Authority and MWD,
along with Otay WD fully intend to have sufficient, reliable supplies to serve demands.

Otay Water District Water Supply Development Program
In evaluating the availability of sufficient water supply, the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project will be
required to participate in the water supply development program being implemented by the
Otay WD. This is intended to be achieved through financial participation in several local
and/or regional water supply development projects envisioned by the Otay WD. These water
supply projects are in addition to those identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water
Authority and MWD UWMP, IRP, Master Plans, and other planning documents, and are in
response to the regional water supply issues. These new water supply projects are not
currently developed and are in various stages of the planning process. Imported water
supplies along with the development of these additional Otay WD water supply development
projects supplies are intended to increase water supplies to serve the Sunbow II, Phase 3
project water supply needs and that of other similar development projects. The Otay WD
water supply development program includes but is not limited to projects such as the Middle
Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well project, the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well
Project, the Otay Mesa Lot 7 Groundwater Well Project, and the Otay WD Rosarito Ocean
Desalination Facility Project. The Water Authority and MWD’s next forecasts and supply
planning documents would capture any increase in water supplies resulting from any new
water resources developed by the Otay WD.
Findings
The WSA&V Report identifies and describes the processes by which water demand
projections for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project will be fully included in the water
demand and supply forecasts of the Urban Water Management Plans and other water
resources planning documents of the Water Authority and MWD. Water supplies necessary
to serve the demands of the proposed project, along with existing and other projected future
users, as well as the actions necessary and status to develop these supplies, have been
identified in the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project WSA&V Report and will be included in the
future water supply planning documents of the Water Authority and MWD.
This WSA&V Report includes, among other information, an identification of existing water
supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, water supply projects, or
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3
project. The WSA&V Report demonstrates and documents that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, under normal
conditions and in single and multiple dry years to meet the projected demand of the Sunbow
II, Phase 3 project and the existing and other planned development projects to be served by
the Otay WD.
Accordingly, after approval of a WSA&V Report for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project by the
Otay WD Board of Directors (Board), the WSA&V Report may be used to comply with the
requirements of the legislation enacted by Senate Bills 610 and 221 as follows:

1. Senate Bill 610 Water Supply Assessment: The Otay WD Board approved WSA&V
Report may be incorporated into the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) compliance process for the Sunbow II, Phase 3
project as a water supply assessment report consistent with the requirements of the
legislation enacted by SB 610. The City, as lead agency under CEQA for the Sunbow
II, Phase 3 project EIR and Alternatives, may cite the approved WSA&V Report as
evidence that a sufficient water supply is planned for and is intended to be made
available to serve the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project.
2. Senate Bill 221 Water Supply Verification: The Otay WD Board approved WSA&V
Report may be incorporated into the City’s Tentative Map approval process for the
Sunbow II, Phase 3 project as a water supply verification report, consistent with the
requirements of the legislation enacted by SB 221. The City, within their process of
approving the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project Revised Tentative Map, may cite the
approved WSA&V Report as verification of intended sufficient water supply to serve
the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project.
Section 1 - Purpose
The City of Chula Vista is having an environmental impact report (EIR) prepared for the
development of the 135.7-acre project (Sunbow II, Phase 3 project). The project is located
along Olympic Parkway in the City of Chula Vista.
The City requested that the Otay WD prepare a Water Supply Assessment and Verification
(WSA&V) Report for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project. This WSA&V Report is being
prepared for the proposed project concurrent with the Specific Plan Amendment and revised
Tentative Map processing through the City of Chula Vista. The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project
description is provided in Section 3 of this WSA&V Report.
This WSA&V Report for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project has been prepared by the Otay WD
in consultation with Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc., the Water Authority, and the City
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151.9 and California Water Code Sections
10631, 10656, 10910, 10911, 10912, and 10915 referred to as Senate Bill (SB) 610 and
Business and Professions Code Section 11010 and Government Code Sections 65867.5,
66455.3, and 66473.7 referred to as SB 221. SB 610 and SB 221 amended state law, effective
January 1, 2002, is intended to improve the link between the information on water supply
availability and certain land use decisions made by cities and counties. SB 610 requires that
the water purveyor of the public water system prepare a water supply assessment to be
included in the CEQA documentation and approval process of certain proposed projects. SB
221 requires affirmative written verification from the water purveyor of the public water
system that sufficient water supplies are to be available for certain residential subdivisions of
property prior to approval of a tentative map. The requirements of SB 610 and SB 221 are
being addressed by this WSA&V Report.

The City also requested, since the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221 are substantially
similar, that Otay WD prepare both the water supply assessment and verification
concurrently.
This WSA&V Report evaluates water supplies that are planned to be available during normal,
single dry year, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year planning horizon to meet
existing demands, expected demands of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project, and reasonably
foreseeable planned future water demands to be served by Otay WD. The Otay Water District
Board of Directors approved WSA&V Report is planned to be used by the City in its
evaluation of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project under the CEQA approval process procedures.
Section 2 - Findings
The Otay WD prepared this WSA&V Report at the request of the City for Sunbow II, Phase 3
project.
The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is located within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD, the Water
Authority, and MWD. To obtain permanent imported water supply service, land areas are
required to be within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD, Water Authority, and MWD to utilize
imported water supply.
The expected potable water demand for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is 122,060 gallons per
day (gpd) or about 136.7 acre feet per year (AFY). This is 84.7 AFY higher than the demand
estimate in the District’s 2015 WFMP Update which estimated 52 AFY. The projected
recycled water demand for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is 24,510 gpd, or about 27.5 AFY.
The 84.7 AFY increase in demand is accounted for through the Accelerated Forecasted
Growth demand increment of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP. As documented in the
Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, the Water Authority is planning to meet future and existing
demands which include the demand increment associated with the accelerated forecasted
growth. The Water Authority will assist its member agencies in tracking the environmental
documents provided by the agencies that include water supply assessments and verifications
reports that utilize the accelerated forecasted growth demand increment to demonstrate
supplies for the development. In addition, the next update of the demand forecast for the
Water Authority’s 2020 UWMP will be based on SANDAG’s most recently updated forecast,
which will include the Project. Therefore, based on the findings from the Otay WD’s 2015
UWMP and the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP, this project will result in no unanticipated
demands.
The Water Authority and MWD have an established process that ensures supplies are being
planned to meet future growth. Any annexations and revisions to established land use plans
are captured in the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) updated forecasts for

land use planning, demographics, and economic projections. SANDAG serves as the
regional, intergovernmental planning agency that develops and provides forecast information.
The Water Authority and MWD update their demand forecasts and supply needs based on the
most recent SANDAG forecast approximately every five years to coincide with preparation of
their urban water management plans. Prior to the next forecast update, local jurisdictions may
require water supply assessment and/or verification reports for proposed land developments
that are not within the Otay WD, Water Authority, or MWD jurisdictions (i.e. pending or
proposed annexations) or that have revised land use plans with lower or higher land use
intensities than reflected in the existing growth forecasts. Proposed land areas with pending
or proposed annexations, or revised land use plans, typically result in creating higher demand
and supply requirements than anticipated. The Otay WD, the Water Authority, and MWD
next demand forecast and supply requirements and associated planning documents would then
capture any increase or decrease in demands and required supplies as a result of annexations
or revised land use planning decisions.
This process is utilized by the Water Authority and MWD to document the water supplies
necessary to serve the demands of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project, along with existing and
other projected future users, as well as the actions necessary to develop any required water
supplies. Through this process the necessary demand and supply information is thus assured
to be identified and incorporated within the water supply planning documents of the Water
Authority and MWD.
This WSA&V Report includes, among other information, an identification of existing water
supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, proposed water supply projects, and
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3
project. This WSA&V Report incorporates by reference the current Urban Water
Management Plans and other water resources planning documents of the Otay WD, the Water
Authority, and MWD. The Otay WD prepared this WSA&V Report to assess and document
that sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended to be acquired to meet projected
water demands of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project as well as existing and other reasonably
foreseeable planned development projects within the Otay WD for a 20-year planning
horizon, in normal supply years and in single dry and multiple dry years.
The Otay Water District 2015 UWMP includes a water conservation component to comply
with Senate Bill 7 of the Seventh Extraordinary Session (SBX 7-7), which became effective
February 3, 2010. This new law was the water conservation component to the Delta
legislation package, and seeks to achieve a 20 percent statewide reduction in urban per capita
water use in California by December 31, 2020. Specifically, SBX 7-7 from this Extraordinary
Session requires each urban retail water supplier to develop urban water use targets to help
meet the 20 percent reduction goal by 2020 (20x2020), and an interim water reduction target
by 2015.
Otay WD adopted Method 1 to set its 2015 interim and 2020 water use targets. Method 1
requires setting the 2020 water use target to 80 percent of baseline per capita water use target
as provided in the State’s 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan. The Otay WD 2015 target was

172 gpcd which it met (2015 actual was 124 gpcd) and the 2020 gpcd target (80 percent of
baseline) is 153 gpcd. The Otay WD’s recent per capita water use has been declining and
current water use meets the 2020 target as calculated using Method 1. The decline in per
capita water use was due to drought water use restrictions, increased water costs, and
economic conditions. Otay WD’s effective water use awareness campaign and enhanced
conservation mentality of its customers has resulted in long-term carryover of these reduced
consumption rates.
Based on a normal water supply year, the five-year increments for a 20-year projection
indicate projected potable and recycled water supply is being planned for and is intended to be
acquired to meet the estimated water demand targets of the Otay WD (42,720 acre-feet (ac-ft)
in 2020 to 57,582 ac-ft in 2040) per the Otay Water District 2015 UWMP. Based on dry year
forecasts, the estimated water supply is also being planned for and is intended to be acquired
to meet the projected water demand, during single dry and multiple dry year scenarios. On
average, the dry-year demands are about 6.64 percent higher than the normal year demands.
The Otay WD recycled water supply is assumed to be drought-proof and not subject to
reduction during dry periods.
Together, these findings assess, demonstrate, and document that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be acquired for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project. In addition,
the actions necessary to develop these supplies are and will be further documented, to serve
the proposed project and the existing and other reasonably foreseeable planned development
projects within the Otay WD in both normal and single and multiple dry year forecasts for a
20-year planning horizon.
Section 3 - Project Description
The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is located along Olympic Parkway in the City of Chula Vista.
Refer to Appendix A for a vicinity map of the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project. The
project is proposed to be located on 135.7 acres. Although the proposed development is
located within the City and subject to the City’s land use jurisdiction, the Otay WD is the
potable and recycled water purveyor. The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is within the
jurisdictions of the Otay WD, the Water Authority, and MWD.
The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project proposes 718 multi-family residential units within a project
area of 135.7 acres. The proposed development footprint would be approximately 69.0 acres,
which would consist of 44.2 acres of residential, a 0.9-acre Community Purpose Facility
(CPF) site, 5.9 acres of public streets and 18 acres of manufactured slopes/basins/wetland
resource and associated buffer area. The proposed project also includes approximately 3.9
acres of proposed Poggi Canyon Easement area and 62.8 acres of MSCP Preserve area.
The City has discretionary authority on land use decisions for the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project
and can establish actions and/or permit approval requirements. The projected potable water

demands associated with the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project EIR has considered the anticipated
City discretionary actions and/or permit approvals and are incorporated into and used in this
WSA&V Report. The water demands for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project are
included in the projected water demand estimates provided in Section 5 – Historical and
Projected Water Demands.
Section 4 – Otay Water District
The Otay WD is a municipal water district formed in 1956 pursuant to the Municipal Water
District Act of 1911 (Water Code §§ 71000 et seq.). The Otay WD joined the Water
Authority as a member agency in 1956 to acquire the right to purchase and distribute imported
water throughout its service area. The Water Authority is an agency responsible for the
wholesale supply of water to its 24 public agency members in San Diego County.
The Otay WD currently meets all its potable demands with imported treated water from the
Water Authority. The Water Authority is the agency responsible for the supply of imported
water into San Diego County through its membership in MWD. The Water Authority
currently obtains about 40% of its imported supply from MWD but is in the process of further
diversifying its available supplies.
The Otay WD provides water service to residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural
customers, and for environmental and fire protection uses. In addition to providing water
throughout its service area, Otay WD also provides sewage collection and treatment services
to a portion of its service area known as the Jamacha Basin. The Otay WD also owns and
operates the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) which has an
effective treatment capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (mgd) or about 1,300 acre feet per
year to produce recycled water. On May 18, 2007, an additional source of recycled water
supply of up to 6 mgd, or about 6,720 acre feet per year, became available to Otay WD from
the City of San Diego’s South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP).
The Otay WD jurisdictional area is generally located within the south central portion of San
Diego County and includes approximately 125 square miles. The Otay WD serves portions of
the unincorporated communities of southern El Cajon, La Mesa, Rancho San Diego, Jamul,
Spring Valley, Bonita, and Otay Mesa, the eastern portion of the City of Chula Vista and a
portion of the City of San Diego on Otay Mesa. The Otay WD jurisdiction boundaries are
roughly bounded on the north by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, on the northwest
by the Helix Water District, and on the west by the South Bay Irrigation District (Sweetwater
Authority) and the City of San Diego. The southern boundary of Otay WD is the international
border with Mexico.
The planning area addressed in the Otay WD WFMP Update and the Otay WD 2015 UWMP
includes both the land within the jurisdictional boundary of the Otay WD and those areas
outside of the present Otay WD boundaries considered to be in the Area of Influence of the
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
10
Otay WD. Figure 3-1 contained within the Otay WD 2015 UWMP shows the jurisdictional
boundary of the Otay WD and the Area of Influence. The planning area is approximately 143
square miles, of which approximately 125 square miles are within the Otay WD current
boundaries and approximately 18 square miles are in the Area of Influence. The area east of
Otay WD is rural and currently not within any water purveyor jurisdiction and potentially
could be served by the Otay WD in the future if the need for imported water becomes
necessary, as is the case for the Area of Influence.
The City of Chula Vista, the City of San Diego, and the County of San Diego are the three
land use planning agencies within the Otay WD jurisdiction. Data on forecasts for land use
planning, demographics, economic projections, population, and the future rate of growth
within Otay WD were obtained from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
SANDAG serves as the regional, intergovernmental planning agency that develops and
provides forecast information through the year 2050. Population growth within the Otay WD
service area is expected to increase from the 2015 figure of 217,339 to an estimated 285,340
by 2040. Land use information used to develop water demand projections are based upon
Specific or Sectional Planning Areas, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Sub-
regional Plan, East Otay Mesa Specific Plan Area, San Diego County Community Plans, and
City of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, and County of San Diego General Plans.
The Otay WD long-term historic growth rate has been approximately 4 percent. The growth
rate had slowed due to economic conditions and is expected to slow as the inventory of
developable land is diminished.
Climatic conditions within the Otay WD service area are characteristically Mediterranean
near the coast, with mild temperatures year-round. Inland areas are both hotter in summer and
cooler in winter, with summer temperatures often exceeding 90 degrees and winter
temperatures occasionally dipping to below freezing. Most of the region’s rainfall occurs
during the months of December through March. Average annual rainfall is approximately
10.08 inches per year.
Historic climate data were obtained from the Western Regional Climate Center for Station
042706 (El Cajon). This station was selected because its annual temperature variation is
representative of most of the Otay WD service area. While there is a station in the City of
Chula Vista, the temperature variation at the City of Chula Vista station is more typical of a
coastal environment than the conditions in most of the Otay WD service area.
Urban Water Management Plan
In accordance with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act and recent
legislation, the Otay WD Board of Directors adopted an UWMP in June 2016 and
subsequently submitted the plan to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).
As required by law, the Otay Water District 2015 UWMP includes projected water supplies
required to meet future demands through 2040. In accordance with Water Code Section
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
11
10910 (c)(2) and Government Code Section 66473.7 (c)(3), information from the Otay WD
2015 UWMP along with supplemental information from the Otay WD WFMP Update have
been utilized to prepare this WSA Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
The state Legislature passed Senate Bill 7 as part of the Seventh Extraordinary Session (SBX
7-7) on November 10, 2009, which became effective February 3, 2010. This new law was the
water conservation component to the Delta legislation package and seeks to achieve a 20
percent statewide reduction in urban per capita water use in California by December 31, 2020.
Specifically, SBX 7-7 from this Extraordinary Session requires each urban retail water
supplier to develop urban water use targets to help meet the 20 percent reduction goal by 2020
(20x2020), and an interim water reduction target by 2015.
The SBX 7-7 target setting process includes the following: (1) baseline daily per capita water
use; (2) urban water use target; (3) interim water use target; (4) compliance daily per capita
water use, including technical bases and supporting data for those determinations. In order
for an agency to meet its 2020 water use target, each agency can increase its use of recycled
water to offset potable water use and also step up its water conservation measures. The
required water use targets for 2020 and an interim target for 2015 are determined using one of
four target methods – each method has numerous methodologies.
In 2015, urban retail water suppliers were required to report interim compliance followed by
actual compliance in 2020. Interim compliance is halfway between the baseline water use and
2020 target. Baseline, target, and compliance-year water use estimates are required to be
reported in gallons per capita per day (gpcd).
Failure to meet adopted targets will result in the ineligibility of a water supplier to receive
grants or loans administered by the State unless one (1) of two (2) exceptions is met.
Exception one (1) states a water supplier may be eligible if they have submitted a schedule,
financing plan, and budget to DWR for approval to achieve the per capita water use
reductions. Exception two (2) states a water supplier may be eligible if an entire water service
area qualifies as a disadvantaged community.
Otay WD adopted Method 1 to set its 2015 interim and 2020 water use targets. Method 1
requires setting the 2020 water use target to 80 percent of baseline per capita water use target
as provided in the State’s 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan. The Otay WD was well below
its required 2015 target of 172 gpcd, with an actual 2015 gpcd of 124. The 2020 gpcd target
which is 80 percent of baseline is 153 gpcd.
The Otay WD’s recent per capita water use has been declining to the point where current
water use meets the 2020 target for Method 1. The decline in per capita water use was due to
drought water use restrictions, increased water costs, and economic conditions. Otay WD’s
effective water use awareness campaign and the enhanced conservation mentality of its
customers has resulted in long-term carryover of these reduced consumption rates.

Section 5 – Historical and Projected Water Demands
The projected demands for Otay WD are based on Specific or Sectional Planning Areas, the
Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Sub-regional Plan, the East Otay Mesa Specific Plan
Area, San Diego County Community Plans, and City of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, and
County of San Diego General Plans. This land use information is also used by SANDAG as
the basis for its most recent forecast data. This land use information was utilized for the
preparation of the Otay Water District WFMP Update and Otay Water District 2015 UWMP
to develop the forecasted demands and supply requirements.
In 1994, the Water Authority selected the Institute for Water Resources-Municipal and
Industrial Needs (MAIN) computer model to forecast municipal and industrial water use for
the San Diego region. The MAIN model uses demographic and economic data to project
sector-level water demands (i.e. residential and non-residential demands). This econometric
model has over a quarter of a century of practical application and is used by many cities and
water agencies throughout the United States. The Water Authority’s version of the MAIN
model was modified to reflect the San Diego region’s unique parameters and is known as
CWA-MAIN.
The foundation of the water demand forecast is the underlying demographic and economic
projections. This was a primary reason why, in 1992, the Water Authority and SANDAG
entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in which the Water Authority agreed to
use the SANDAG current regional growth forecast for water supply planning purposes. In
addition, the MOA recognizes that water supply reliability must be a component of San Diego
County’s regional growth management strategy required by Proposition C, as passed by the
San Diego County voters in 1988. The MOA ensures a strong linkage between local general
plan land use forecasts and water demand projections and resulting supply needs for the San
Diego region.
Consistent with the previous CWA-MAIN modeling efforts, on October 15, 2013, the
SANDAG Board of Directors accepted the Series 13: 2050 Regional Growth Forecast. The
2050 Regional Growth Forecast will be used by SANDAG as the foundation for the next
Regional Comprehensive Plan update. SANDAG forecasts were used by local governments
for planning, including the Water Authority 2015 UWMP update.
The municipal and industrial forecast also included an updated accounting of projected
conservation savings based on projected regional implementation of the California Urban
Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) Best Management Practices and SANDAG
demographic information for the period 2015 through 2050. These savings estimates were
then factored into the baseline municipal and industrial demand forecast.
Agricultural demand projections were developed through a cooperative effort between Water
Authority staff, Water Authority member agencies, SANDAG, County of San Diego
Agricultural Weights and Measures, and the California Avocado Commission. Forecast driver

13
variables include irrigated acreage within the Water Authority’s service area, estimated crop
type distribution, and calculated historic water-use factors. SANDAG’s projection of
agricultural land conversions to other land use categories provides the long-term trend in
acreage used to forecast agricultural water use. The total agricultural forecast is then separated
into two categories: (1) projected demands in the Water Authority’s Transitional Special
Agricultural Water Rate (TSAWR) program and (2) demands under the Water Authority M&I
rate or agricultural demands met through local supplies.
The Water Authority and MWD update their water demand and supply projections within
their jurisdictions utilizing the SANDAG most recent growth forecast to project future water
demands. This provides for the important strong link between demand and supply projections
to the land use plans of the cities and the county. This provides for consistency between the
retail and wholesale agencies water demand projections, thereby ensuring that adequate
supplies are and will be planned for the Otay WD existing and future water users. Existing
land use plans, any revisions to land use plans, and annexations are captured in the SANDAG
updated forecasts. The Water Authority and MWD update their demand forecasts based on
the SANDAG most recent forecast approximately every five years to coincide with
preparation of their urban water management plans. Prior to the next forecast update, local
jurisdictions may require water supply assessment and/or verification reports consistent with
Senate Bills 610 and 221 for proposed land use developments that either have pending or
proposed annexations into the Otay WD, Water Authority, and MWD or that have revised
land use plans than originally anticipated. The Water Authority and MWD’s next forecasts
and supply planning documents would then capture any increase or decrease in demands
caused by annexations or revised land use plans.
In evaluating the availability of sufficient water supply, the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project
proponents are required to participate in the development of alternative water supply
project(s). This can be achieved through payment of the New Water Supply Fee adopted by
the Otay WD Board in May 2010. These water supply projects are in addition to those
identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and MWD UWMP, IRP,
Master Plans, and other planning documents. These new water supply projects are in
response to the regional water supply issues related to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and
the current ongoing western states drought conditions. These additional water supply projects
are not currently developed and are in various stages of the planning process. A few
examples of these alternative water supply projects include the Middle Sweetwater River
Basin Groundwater Well project, the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well Project, the Otay
Mesa Lot 7 Groundwater Well Project and the Otay WD Rosarito Ocean Desalination Facility
project. The Water Authority and MWD next forecast and supply planning documents would
capture any increase in water supplies resulting from verifiable new water resources
developed by the Otay WD.
In addition, MWD’s 2015 UWMP identified potential reserve supplies in the supply
capability analysis (Tables 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6), which could be available to meet any
unanticipated demands. The Water Authority and MWD’s next forecasts and supply planning
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report

14
documents would capture any increase in necessary supply resources resulting from any new
water supply resources.
Demand Methodology
The Otay WD water demand projection methodology in the WFMP Update utilizes a
component land use approach. This is done by applying representative values of water use to
the acreage of each land use type and then aggregating these individual land use demand
projections into an overall total demand for the Otay WD. This is called the water duty
method, and the water duty is the amount of water used in gallons per day per acre per year.
This approach is used for all the land use types except residential development where a
demand per dwelling unit was applied. In addition, commercial and industrial water use
categories are further subdivided by type including separate categories for golf courses,
schools, jails, prisons, hospitals, etc. where specific water demands are established.
To determine water duties for the various types of land use, the entire water meter database of
the Otay WD is utilized and sorted by the appropriate land use types. The metered
consumption records are then examined for each of the land uses, and water duties are determined for
the various types of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional land uses. For example,
the water duty factors for commercial and industrial land uses are estimated using 1,785 and 893
gallons per day per acre (gpd/acre) respectively. Residential water demand is established based on
the same data but computed on a per-dwelling unit basis. The focus is to ensure that for each of the
residential land use categories (very low, low, medium, and high densities), the demand criteria
used is adequately represented based upon actual data. This method is used because
residential land uses constitute a substantial percentage of the total developable planning area of the
Otay WD.
The WFMP Update calculates potable water demand by taking the gross acreage of a site and
applying a potable water reduction factor (PWRF), which is intended to represent the
percentage of acreage to be served by potable water and that not served by recycled water for
irrigation. For industrial land use, as an example, the PWRF is 0.95 (i.e., 95% of the site is
assumed to be served by potable water, 5% of the site is assumed to be irrigated with recycled
water, if available). The potable net acreage is then multiplied by the unit demand factor
corresponding to its respective land use. This approach is used in the WFMP Update for all
the land use types except residential development where a demand per dwelling unit is
applied. In addition, commercial and industrial water use categories are further subdivided by
type including separate categories for golf courses, schools, jails, prisons, hospitals, etc.
where specific water demands are allocated.
Otay Water District Projected Demand
By applying the established water duties to the proposed land uses, the projected water
demand for the entire Otay WD planning area at ultimate development is determined.
Otay Water District

Projected water demands for the intervening years were determined using growth rate
projections consistent with data obtained from SANDAG and the experience of the Otay WD.

5.1 Demand Management (Water-Use Efficiency)
Demand management, or water-use efficiency is a critical part of the Otay Water
District’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and its long-term strategy for
meeting the water supply needs of its customers. Water conservation is frequently the
lowest cost resource available to any water agency. The Otay WD’s water conservation
program objectives are to:
•Reduce the demand for more expensive, imported water.
•Ensure a reliable water supply.
The Otay WD was one of the original signatories to the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) regarding Urban Water Conservation in California, which
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
17
created the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) in 1991 in an
effort to reduce California's long-term water demands. The Otay WD has been a
long-standing supporter of the CUWCC through its implementation of Best
Management Practices (BMPs), which required the District to submit biannual reports
that detailed the implementation of its conservation programs. As a result of the 2014-
2017 drought and the state’s changing regulatory, political, social, economic, and
environmental climate, CUWCC members and its Board, in 2017, restructured the
organization and renamed it the California Water Efficiency Partnership (CWEP).
The new framework allows the organization to better fulfill its members’ needs,
quickly adapt to the changing climate, provide resources about water-use efficiency
issues in California, and foster collaboration among a wide variety of stakeholders.
The Otay WD is currently a member of CWEP as part of its effort to continue
upholding its long-term commitment in reducing the state’s water demands,
diversifying local water supply, and encouraging its customer to make conservation
a way of life. In addition to meeting customer demands during a drought, the District
consistently advocates for state policies and legislation that include supply
development and water-use efficiency. The District continues to work closely with
the Water Authority, the Association of California Water Agencies, and other water
agencies in the region to ensure that the targets and measures in the State Water
Resources Control Board’s (SWRCB) long-term framework support a balanced
approach and reflect local water supply investments and conditions.
Water conservation programs are developed and implemented on the premise that water
conservation increases the local water supply by reducing the demand on available
imported supply, which is vital to the optimal utilization of a region's water supply
resources. The Otay WD participates in many water conservation programs designed
and typically operated on a shared cost-participation program basis among the Water
Authority, MWD, and their member agencies. The demands shown in Tables 1 and 2
take into account implementation of water conservation measures within Otay WD.
As part of the preceding CUWCC’s BMPs requirements, the Otay WD implemented
water conservation programs and provided services to its customers to promote water-use
efficiencies and water savings. It continues to do so today. As a member of the Water
Authority, Otay WD also benefits from regional programs performed on behalf of its
member agencies. In partnership with the Water Authority, the County of San Diego,
City of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, and developers, the Otay WD water-use
efficiency efforts are expected to grow and expand. The resulting savings directly relate
to additional available water in the San Diego County region for beneficial use within
the Water Authority service area, including the Otay WD.
Additional conservation or water-use efficiency measures or programs practiced by the
Otay WD include the following:

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System
The Otay WD implemented and has operated for many years a Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to control, monitor, and collect data regarding the
operation of the water system. The major facilities that have SCADA capabilities are the
water-flow control supply sources, transmission network, pumping stations, and water
storage reservoirs. The SCADA system allows for many and varied useful functions.
Some of the functions they provide for operating personnel are the ability to monitor the
water supply source flow rates, reservoir levels, tum on or off pumping units, etc. The
SCADA system aids in the prevention of water reservoir overflow events and increases
energy efficiency.
Water Conservation Ordinance
California Water Code Sections 375 et seq. permit public entities, which supply retail
water to adopt and enforce a water conservation program to reduce the quantity of
water used by the customers, resulting in the conservation of water supplies for that
public entity. In 1988, the Otay WD Board of Directors established a comprehensive
water conservation program pursuant to California Water Code Sections 375 et seq.,
based upon the need to conserve water supplies and to avoid or minimize the effects of
any future shortage. A water shortage could exist based upon the occurrence of one or
more of the following conditions:
1.A general water supply shortage due to increased demand or limited supplies.
2.Distribution or storage facilities of the Water Authority or other agenciesbecome inadequate.
3.A major failure of the supply, storage, and distribution facilities of MWD,Water Authority, and/or Otay WD.
The Otay WD water conservation ordinance specifies that the conditions prevailing in the
San Diego County area require that the available water resources be put to maximum
beneficial use to the extent to which they are capable, and that the waste or unreasonable
use, or unreasonable method of use, of water be prevented. In addition, the ordinance
encourages the conservation of such water with a view to the maximum reasonable and
beneficial use thereof in the interests of the people of the Otay WD and for the public
welfare.
Otay WD continues to promote water-use efficiency and conservation at community
and business events, including those involving developers in its service area. In
addition, Otay WD, working with the Water Authority and MWD manages a number of
programs.
Otay WD is currently engaged in a number of conservation and water-use efficiency

activities. Listed below are programs that either are current or have been concluded:
•Residential Water Surveys
•Large Landscape Surveys
•Cash for Water Smart Plants Landscape Retrofit Program
•Rotating Nozzles Rebates
•Residential Weather-Based Irrigation Controller (WBIC) Incentive Program
•Residential High Efficiency Clothes Washers
•Residential ULFT/HET Rebate Program
•Outreach Efforts to Otay WD Customers - the Otay WD promotes its
conservation programs through outreach at community and business events, bill
inserts, articles in the Otay WD's quarterly customer Pipeline newsletter, direct
mailings to Otay WD customers, the Otay WD's webpage and social media
platforms, and through the Water Authority's marketing efforts.
•School Education Programs - the Otay WD funds school tours of the Water
Conservation Garden and school assemblies, co-funds Splash Labs, and maintains
school-age appropriate water-themed books, DVDs, and videos.
•Water efficiency in new construction through Cal Green and the Model
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance
•Focus on Commercial/Institutional/Industrial through Promoting MWD's Save a
Buck (Commercial) Program in conjunction with the Otay WD's own Commercial
Process Improvement Program
•Landscape Contest for homeowners in the Otay WD’s service area
The county’s residents and businesses also exceeded the SWRCB’s emergency water-use
reduction mandates during 2015 and 2016, and they continue to use less water than they
did in 2013 even though drought conditions have ended. Since the SWRCB’s conservation
mandate began in June 2015, Otay customers have saved an average of 14 percent more
water compared to 2013 water-use totals.
Section 6 - Existing and Projected Supplies
The Otay WD currently does not have an independent raw or potable water supply source.
The Otay WD is a member public agency of the Water Authority and the Water Authority is a
member public agency of MWD. The statutory relationships between the Water Authority
and its member agencies, and MWD and its member agencies, respectively, establish the
scope of the Otay WD entitlement to water from these two agencies.
The Water Authority currently supplied the Otay WD with 100 percent of its potable water
through two delivery pipelines, referred to as Pipeline No. 4 and the Helix Flume Pipeline.
The Water Authority in turn, currently purchases the majority of its water from MWD. Due
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report

to the Otay WD reliance on these two agencies, this WSA&V Report includes referenced
documents that contain information on the existing and projected supplies, supply programs,
and related projects of the Water Authority and MWD. The Otay WD, Water Authority, and
MWD are actively pursuing programs and projects to further diversify their water supply
resources.
The description of local recycled water supplies available to the Otay WD is also discussed
below.
6.1 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan
MWD has prepared its 2015 UWMP which was adopted on May 9, 2016. The 2015 UWMP
provides MWD’s member agencies, retail water utilities, cities, and counties within its service
area with, among other things, a detailed evaluation of the supplies necessary to meet future
demands, and an evaluation of reasonable and practical efficient water uses, recycling, and
conservation activities. During the preparation of the 2015 UWMP, MWD utilized the
previous SANDAG regional growth forecast in calculating regional water demands for the
Water Authority service area.
6.1.1 Availability of Sufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring
Additional Supplies
MWD is a wholesale supplier of water to its member public agencies and obtains its supplies
from two primary sources: the Colorado River, via the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA),
which it owns and operates, and Northern California, via the State Water Project (SWP). The
2015 UWMP documents the availability of these existing supplies and additional supplies
necessary to meet future demands.
MWD’s IRP identifies a mix of resources (imported and local) that, when implemented, will
provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the attainment of regional
targets set for conservation, local supplies, State Water Project supplies, Colorado River
supplies, groundwater banking, and water transfers. The 2015 update to the IRP (2015 IRP
Update) describes an adaptive management strategy to protect the region from future supply
shortages. This adaptive management strategy has five components: achieve additional
conservation savings, develop additional local water supplies, maintain Colorado River
Aqueduct supplies, stabilize State Water Project supplies, and maximize the effectiveness of
storage and transfer. MWD’s 2015 IRP Update has a plan for identifying and implementing
additional resources that expand the ability for MWD to meet future changes and challenges
as necessary to ensure future reliability of supplies. The proper management of these
resources help to ensure that the southern California region, including San Diego County, will
have adequate water supplies to meet long-term future demands.

In May 2016, MWD adopted its 2015 UWMP in accordance with state law. The resource
targets included in the preceding 2015 IRP Update serve as the foundation for the planning
assumptions used in the 2015 UWMP. MWD’s 2015 UWMP contains a water supply
reliability assessment that includes a detailed evaluation of the supplies necessary to meet
demands over a 20-year period in average, single dry year, and multiple dry year periods. As
part of this process, MWD also uses the current SANDAG regional growth forecast in
calculating regional water demands for the Water Authority’s service area.
As stated in MWD’s 2015 UWMP, the plan may be used as a source document for meeting
the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221 until the next scheduled update is completed in 5
years (2020). The 2015 UWMP includes a “Justifications for Supply Projections” in
Appendix A.3, that provides detailed documentation of the planning, legal, financial, and
regulatory basis for including each source of supply in the plan. A copy of MWD’s 2015
UWMP can be found on the internet at the following site address:
http://www.mwdh2o.com/PDF_About_Your_Water/2015_UWMP.pdf
The UWMP updates for both MWD and the Water Authority included the increase in demand
projections included in SANDAG’s Series 13 Update and from the projections from Otay
Water District WFMP Update.
Water supply agencies throughout California continue to face climate, environmental, legal,
and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions, such as the court rulings
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current western states drought
conditions. Challenges such as these essentially always will be present. The regional water
supply agencies, the Water Authority and MWD, along with Otay WD nevertheless fully
intend to have sufficient, reliable supplies to serve demands.
6.1.2 MWD Capital Investment Plan
MWD prepares a Capital Investment Plan as part of its annual budget approval process. The
cost, purpose, justification, status, progress, etc. of MWD’s infrastructure projects to deliver
existing and future supplies are documented in the Capital Investment Plan. The financing of
these projects is addressed as part of the annual budget approval process.
MWD’s Capital Investment Plan includes a series of projects identified from MWD studies of
projected water needs, which, when considered along with operational demands on aging
facilities and new water quality regulations, identify the capital projects needed to maintain
infrastructure reliability and water quality standards, improve efficiency, and provide future
cost savings. All projects within the Capital Investment Plan are evaluated against an
objective set of criteria to ensure they are aligned with the MWD’s goals of supply reliability
and quality.

6.2 San Diego County Water Authority Regional Water Supplies
The Water Authority has adopted plans and is taking specific actions to develop adequate
water supplies to help meet existing and future water demands within the San Diego region.
This section contains details on the supplies being developed by the Water Authority. A
summary of recent actions pertaining to development of these supplies includes:
In accordance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act, the Water Authority
adopted their 2015 UWMP in June 2016. The updated Water Authority 2015 UWMP
identifies a diverse mix of local and imported water supplies to meet future demands. A
copy of the updated Water Authority 2015 UWMP can be found on the internet at:
http://www.sdcwa.org/sites/default/files/UWMP2015.pdf
As part of the October 2003 Colorado River Quantification Settlement Agreement
(QSA), the Water Authority was assigned MWD’s rights to 77,700 acre feet per year of
conserved water from the All-American Canal (AAC) and Coachella Canal (CC) lining
projects. Deliveries of this conserved water from the CC reached the region in 2007 and
deliveries from the AAC reached the region in 2010. Expected supplies from the canal
lining projects are considered verifiable Water Authority supplies.
Deliveries of conserved agricultural water from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) to
San Diego County have increased annually since 2003, with 70,000 acre-feet per year of
deliveries in Fiscal Year (FY) 2010. The quantities will increase annually to 200,000
acre-feet per year by 2021, and then remain fixed for the duration of the transfer
agreement.
Development of seawater desalination in San Diego County assists the region in
diversifying its water resources; reduces dependence on imported supplies; and provides
a new drought‐proof, locally treated water supply. The Carlsbad Desalination Project is
a fully operational seawater desalination plant and conveyance pipeline developed by
Poseidon, a private investor–owned company that develops water and wastewater
infrastructure. The Carlsbad Desalination Project, located near the Carlsbad Energy
Center, began commercial operation on December 23, 2015, and can provide a highly
reliable local supply of up to 56,000 AF/YR for the region. Of the total Carlsbad
Desalination Plant production, Vallecitos Water District has a direct connection and a
contract to receive 4,083 AFY. Carlsbad MWD has agreed to a take or pay of 2,500
AFY.
Through implementation of the Water Authority and member agency planned supply projects,
along with reliable imported water supplies from MWD, the region anticipates having
adequate supplies to meet existing and future water demands.
To ensure sufficient supplies to meet projected growth in the San Diego region, the Water
Authority uses the SANDAG most recent regional growth forecast in calculating regional
water demands. The SANDAG regional growth forecast is based on the plans and policies of
Otay Water District

the land-use jurisdictions with San Diego County. The existing and future demands of the
member agencies are included in the Water Authority’s projections.
6.2.1 Availability of Sufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring
Additional Supplies
The Water Authority currently obtains imported supplies from MWD, conserved water from
the AAC and CC lining projects, an increasing amount of conserved agricultural water from
IID, and desalinated seawater from the Carlsbad desalination plant. Of the twenty-seven
member agencies that purchase water supplies from MWD, the Water Authority is MWD’s
largest customer.
Section 135 of MWD’s Act defines the preferential right to water for each of its member
agencies. Currently, the Water Authority pays about 22 percent of MWD's total revenue, but
has preferential rights to only 18.27 percent of MWD's water supply. Under preferential
rights, MWD could allocate water without regard to historic water purchases or dependence
on MWD. The Water Authority and its member agencies are taking measures to reduce
dependence on MWD through development of additional supplies and a water supply
portfolio that would not be jeopardized by a preferential rights allocation. MWD has stated,
consistent with Section 4202 of its Administrative Code that it is prepared to provide the
Water Authority’s service area with adequate supplies of water to meet expanding and
increasing needs in the years ahead. When and as additional water resources are required to
meet increasing needs, MWD stated it will be prepared to deliver such supplies. In Section
ES-5 of their 2015 UWMP, MWD states that MWD has supply capacities that would be
sufficient to meet expected demands from 2020 through 2040. MWD has plans for supply
implementation and continued development of a diversified resource mix including programs
in the Colorado River Aqueduct, State Water Project, Central Valley Transfers, local resource
projects, and in-region storage that enables the region to meet its water supply needs.
The Water Authority has made large investments in MWD’s facilities and will continue to
include imported supplies from MWD in the future resource mix. As discussed in the Water
Authority’s 2015 UWMP, the Water Authority and its member agencies are planning to
diversify the San Diego regions supply portfolio and reduce purchases from MWD.
As part of the Water Authority’s diversification efforts, the Water Authority is now taking
delivery of conserved agricultural water from IID, water saved from the AAC and CC lining
projects and desalinated seawater from the Carlsbad desalination plant. Table 4 summarizes
the Water Authority’s supply sources with detailed information included in the sections to
follow. Deliveries from MWD are also included in Table 4, which is further discussed in
Section 6.1 above. The Water Authority’s member agencies provided the verifiable local
supply targets for groundwater, recycled water, potable reuse and surface water, which are
discussed in more detail in Section 5 of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP.

Section 5.6.1 of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP also includes a discussion on the local
supply target for seawater desalination. Seawater desalination supplies represent a significant
local resource in the Water Authority’s service area.
The Carlsbad Desalination Project (Project) is a fully-permitted seawater desalination plant
and conveyance pipeline designed to provide a highly reliable local supply of up to 56,000
acre-feet (AF) per year for the region. In 2020, the Project would account for approximately
8% of the total projected regional supply and 30% of all locally generated water in San Diego
County. The project became operational in late 2015 and it more than doubles the amount of
local supplies developed in the region since 1991. The desalination plant itself was fully
financed, built, by Poseidon Resources (Channelside) LC. The equity owner of the plant,
Orion Water Partners LLC, entered into an agreement to sell its ownership to Aberdeen
Standard Investments. Poseidon Water LLC is the Project Manager to perform the
management and administrative functions at the plant for the new owner. The Water
Authority purchases water from the plant under a water purchase agreement. The new
pipeline connecting the desalination plant with the Water Authority’s Second Aqueduct is
owned and operated by the Water Authority, but Poseidon had the responsibility for design
and construction through a separate Design-Build Agreement. The Water Authority was
responsible for aqueduct improvements, including the relining and rehabilitation of Pipeline 3
to accept desalinated water under higher operating pressures, modifications to the San Marcos
Vent that allows the flow of water between Pipelines 3 and 4, and improvements at the Twin
Oaks Valley Water Treatment Plant necessary to integrate desalinated water into the Water
Authority’s system for optimal distribution to member agencies.

The Water Authority’s existing and planned supplies from the IID transfer, canal lining, and
desalination projects are considered “drought-proof” supplies and should be available at the
yields shown in Table 4 in normal water year supply and demand assessment. Single dry year
and multiple dry year scenarios are discussed in more detail in Section 9 of the Water
Authority’s 2015 UWMP.
As part of preparation of a written water supply assessment and/or verification report, an
agency’s shortage contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency of
supply. Section 11 of the Water Authority’s 2015 UWMP contains a detailed shortage
contingency analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought
management. The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies,
through the Integrated Contingency Plan, Emergency Storage Project, and Water Shortage
Contingency Plan are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle an interruption of
water supplies. The Water Authority’s Board of Directors approved the Drought Management
Plan (DMP) in 2006. The DMP outlined a series of orderly, progressive steps for the Water
Authority and its member agencies to take during shortages to minimize impacts to the
region’s economy and quality of life. It also included an allocation methodology to equitably
allocate water supplies to the member agencies. The DMP was first activated in 2007 in
response to MWD drawing water from storage to meet demands, and deactivated in 2011
when supply conditions improved.
In 2008, the Water Authority’s Board approved another drought management document, the
Model Drought Response Conservation Program Ordinance. The model ordinance focuses on
core water use restrictions and is intended to assist the member agencies when updating or
drafting local drought response ordinances. The intent of the model ordinance is to provide
regional consistency in drought response levels and messaging to the public and media. Also
in 2008, the Water Authority’s Board adopted Resolution 2008-11, that established
procedures to administer the supply allocation methodology contained in the DMP.
In 2012, the DMP’s supply allocation methodology was updated, using lessons from the
previous shortage periods, and the DMP was renamed the Water Shortage and Drought
Response Plan (WSDRP). In 2014, the WSDRP was activated due to critically dry weather in
California and the impact on water supply conditions. It deactivated in 2016 when supply
conditions improved.
In each instance when the DMP and WSDRP were activated, a smooth transition into and out
of water allocations for the member agencies was possible due to the advanced planning of
the Water Authority and its member agencies. Those planning efforts also resulted in an
approach that allowed for regional consistency in public drought messaging.
On August 24, 2017, the Water Authority’s Board approved proposed revisions of the
WSDRP and renamed it the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) to align the WSCP
with the framework outlined in the April 2017 Final Report, Making Water Conservation a
California Way of Life, Implementing Executive Order B-37-16 in the areas of water use
efficiency and shortage response planning. The WSCP continues a proactive and
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
26
comprehensive approach to shortage response planning for the region. The plan will be
reviewed and potentially updated at least every five years in coordination with the preparation
of the Water Authority’s Urban Water Management Plan for 2020, which will include any
final requirements approved through legislation implementing the state’s framework report.
The approval of the WSCP does not require the member agencies to update their planning
document or conservation ordinance at this time.
6.2.1.1 Water Authority-Imperial Irrigation District Water Conservation
and Transfer Agreement
The QSA was signed in October 2003, and resolves long-standing disputes regarding priority
and use of Colorado River water and creates a baseline for implementing water transfers. With
approval of the QSA, the Water Authority and IID were able to implement their Water
Conservation and Transfer Agreement. This agreement not only provides reliability for the San
Diego region, but also assists California in reducing its use of Colorado River water to its legal
allocation.
On April 29, 1998, the Water Authority signed a historic agreement with IID for the long-term
transfer of conserved Colorado River water to San Diego County. The Water Authority-IID
Water Conservation and Transfer Agreement (Transfer Agreement) is the largest agriculture-to-
urban water transfer in United States history. Colorado River water will be conserved by
Imperial Valley farmers who voluntarily participate in the program and then transferred to the
Water Authority for use in San Diego County.
Implementation Status
On October 10, 2003, the Water Authority and IID executed an amendment to the original 1998
Transfer Agreement. This amendment modified certain aspects of the Transfer Agreement to be
consistent with the terms and conditions of the QSA and related agreements. It also modified
other aspects of the agreement to lessen the environmental impacts of the transfer of conserved
water. The amendment was expressly contingent on the approval and implementation of the
QSA, which was also executed on October 10, 2003. Section 6.2.1, “Colorado River,” contains
details on the QSA.
On November 5, 2003, IID filed a complaint in Imperial County Superior Court seeking
validation of 13 contracts associated with the Transfer Agreement and the QSA. Imperial
County and various private parties filed additional suits in Superior Court, alleging violations of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the California Water Code, and other laws
related to the approval of the QSA, the water transfer, and related agreements. The lawsuits were
coordinated for trial. The IID, Coachella Valley Water District, MWD, the Water Authority, and
state are defending these suits and coordinating to seek validation of the contracts. In January
2010, a California Superior Court judge ruled that the QSA and 11 related agreements were
invalid, because one of the agreements created an open-ended financial obligation for the state,
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
27
in violation of California’s constitution. The QSA parties appealed this decision and on July
2013, a Sacramento Superior Court judge entered a final judgment validating the QSA and
rejecting all of the remaining legal challenges. The judge affirmed all of the contested actions,
including the adequacy of the environmental documents prepared by the IID. In May 2015, the
state Court of Appeal issued a ruling that dismissed all remaining appeals.
Expected Supply
Deliveries into San Diego County from the transfer began in 2003 with an initial transfer of
10,000 acre-feet per year. The Water Authority received increasing amounts of transfer water
each year, according to a water delivery schedule contained in the transfer agreement The
quantities will increase annually to 200,000 acre feet per year by 2021 then remain fixed for the
duration of the transfer agreement. The initial term of the Transfer Agreement is 45 years, with a
provision that either agency may extend the agreement for an additional 30-year term.
During dry years, when water availability is low, the conserved water will be transferred
under IID’s Colorado River rights, which are among the most senior in the Lower Colorado
River Basin. Without the protection of these rights, the Water Authority could suffer delivery
cutbacks. In recognition for the value of such reliability, the 1998 contract required the Water
Authority to pay a premium on transfer water under defined regional shortage circumstances.
The shortage premium period duration is the period of consecutive days during which any of the
following exist: 1) a Water Authority shortage; 2) a shortage condition for the Lower Colorado
River as declared by the Secretary; and 3) a Critical Year. Under terms of the October 2003
amendment, the shortage premium will not be included in the cost formula until Agreement Year
16.
Transportation
The Water Authority entered into a water exchange agreement with MWD on October 10, 2003,
to transport the Water Authority–IID transfer water from the Colorado River to San Diego
County. Under the exchange agreement, MWD takes delivery of the transfer water through its
Colorado River Aqueduct. In exchange, MWD delivers to the Water Authority a like quantity
and quality of water. The Water Authority pays MWD’s applicable wheeling rate for each acre-
feet of exchange water delivered. Under the terms of the water exchange agreement, MWD will
make delivery of the transfer water for 35 years, unless the Water Authority and MWD elect to
extend the agreement another 10 years for a total of 45 years.
Cost/Financing
The costs associated with the transfer are financed through the Water Authority’s rates and
charges. In the agreement between the Water Authority and IID, the price for the transfer water
started at $258 per acre-feet and increased by a set amount for the first seven years. In December
2009, the Water Authority and IID executed a fifth amendment to the water transfer agreement
that sets the price per acre-feet for transfer water for calendar years 2010 through 2015,
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
28
beginning at $405 per acre-feet in 2010 and increasing to $624 per acre-feet in 2015. For
calendar years 2016 through 2034, the unit price will be adjusted using an agreed-upon index.
The amendment also required the Water Authority to pay IID $6 million at the end of calendar
year 2009 and another $50 million on or before October 1, 2010, provided that a transfer
stoppage is not in effect as a result of a court order in the QSA coordinated cases. Beginning in
2035, either the Water Authority or IID can, if certain criteria are met, elect a market rate price
through a formula described in the water transfer agreement.
The October 2003 exchange agreement between MWD and the Water Authority set the initial
cost to transport the conserved water at $253 per acre-feet. Thereafter, the price is set to be equal
to the charge or charges set by MWD’s Board of Directors pursuant to applicable laws and
regulation, and generally applicable to the conveyance of water by MWD on behalf of its
member agencies.
The Water Authority is providing $10 million to help offset potential socioeconomic impacts
associated with temporary land fallowing. IID will credit the Water Authority for these funds
during years 16 through 45. In 2007, the Water Authority prepaid IID an additional $10 million
for future deliveries of water. IID will credit the Water Authority for this up-front payment
during years 16 through 30.
As part of implementation of the QSA and water transfer, the Water Authority also entered into
an environmental cost sharing agreement. Under this agreement the Water Authority is
contributing a total of $64 million to fund environmental mitigation projects and the Salton Sea
Restoration Fund.

6.2.1.2 All-American Canal and Coachella Canal Lining Projects
As part of the QSA and related contracts, the Water Authority was assigned MWD’s rights to
77,700 acre-feet per year of conserved water from projects that will line the All-American
Canal (AAC) and Coachella Canal (CC). The projects will reduce the loss of water that
currently occurs through seepage, and the conserved water will be delivered to the Water
Authority. This conserved water will provide the San Diego region with an additional 8.5
million acre-feet over the 110-year life of the agreement.
Implementation Status
The CC lining project began in November 2004 and was completed in 2006. Deliveries of
conserved water to the Water Authority began in 2007. The project constructed a 37-mile
parallel canal adjacent to the CC. The AAC lining project was begun in 2005 and was
completed in 2010. The lining project constructed a concrete-lined canal parallel to 24 miles
of the existing AAC from Pilot Knob to Drop 3.
In July 2005, a lawsuit (CDEM v United States, Case No. CV-S-05-0870-KJD-PAL) was filed
in the U. S. District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of U.S. and Mexican groups
challenging the lining of the AAC. The lawsuit, which names the Secretary of the Interior as
a defendant, claims that seepage water from the canal belongs to water users in Mexico.
California water agencies note that the seepage water is actually part of California's Colorado
River allocation and not part of Mexico's allocation. The plaintiffs also allege a failure by the
United States to comply with environmental laws. Federal officials have stated that they
intend to vigorously defend the case.
Expected Supply
The AAC lining project makes 67,700 acre-feet of Colorado River water per year available
for allocation to the Water Authority and San Luis Rey Indian water rights settlement parties.
The CC lining project makes 26,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water each year available for
allocation. The 2003 Allocation Agreement provides for 16,000 acre-feet per year of
conserved canal lining water to be allocated to the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights
Settlement Parties. The remaining amount, 77,700 acre-feet per year, is to be available to the
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
31
Water Authority, with up to an additional 4,850 acre-feet per year available to the Water
Authority depending on environmental requirements from the CC lining project. For planning
purposes, the Water Authority assumes that 2,500 acre-feet of the 4,850 acre-feet will be
available each year for delivery, for a total of 80,200 acre-feet per year of that supply.
According to the Allocation Agreement, IID has call rights to a portion (5,000 acre-feet per
year) of the conserved water upon termination of the QSA for the remainder of the 110 years
of the Allocation Agreement and upon satisfying certain conditions. The term of the QSA is
for up to 75 years.
Transportation
The October 2003 Exchange Agreement between the Water Authority and MWD provides for
the delivery of the conserved water from the canal lining projects. The Water Authority pays
MWD’s applicable wheeling rate for each acre-foot of exchange water delivered. In the
Agreement, MWD will deliver the canal lining water for the term of the Allocation
Agreement (110 years).
Cost/Financing
Under California Water Code Section 12560 et seq., the Water Authority received $200
million in state funds for construction of the canal lining projects. In addition, $20 million
was made available from Proposition 50 and $36 million from Proposition 84. The Water
Authority was responsible for additional expenses above the funds provided by the state.
The rate to be paid to transport the canal lining water will be equal to the charge or charges set
by MWD’s Board of Directors pursuant to applicable law and regulation and generally
applicable to the conveyance of water by MWD on behalf of its member agencies.
In accordance with the Allocation Agreement, the Water Authority is responsible for a portion
of the net additional Operation, Maintenance, and Repair (OM&R) costs for the lined canals.
Any costs associated with the lining projects as proposed are to be financed through the Water
Authority’s rates and charges.
Written Contracts or Other Proof
The expected supply and costs associated with the lining projects are based primarily on the
following documents:
U.S. Public Law 100-675 (1988). Authorized the Department of the Interior to reduce seepage
from the existing earthen AAC and CC. The law provides that conserved water will be made

6.2.1.3 Carlsbad Seawater Desalination Project
Development of seawater desalination in San Diego County has assisted the region in
diversifying its water resources, reduce dependence on imported supplies, and provide a new
drought-proof, locally treated water supply. The Carlsbad Desalination Project is a fully-
permitted seawater desalination plant and conveyance pipeline developed by Poseidon, a
private investor–owned company that develops water and wastewater infrastructure. The
project, located near the Carlsbad Energy Center, has been in development since 1998 and
was incorporated into the Water Authority’s 2003 Water Facilities Master Plan and the 2015
UWMP. The Carlsbad Desalination Project has obtained all required permits and
environmental clearances and starting in late 2015 provides a highly reliable local supply of
48,000 to 56,000 acre-feet per year for the region.
Implementation Status
The Project obtained all required permits and environmental clearances, including the
following:
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Discharge Permit
(Regional Water Quality Control Board)
Conditional Drinking Water Permit (California Department of Health Services)
State Lands Commission Lease (State Lands Commission)
Coastal Development Permit (California Coastal Commission)
IDE Technologies, a worldwide leader in the design, construction, and operation of
desalination plants, was the desalination process contractor for the Project.
On July 22, 2010, the Board approved a Term Sheet between the Water Authority and
Poseidon Resources that outlined the key terms and conditions that would be detailed and
incorporated in a comprehensive Water Purchase Agreement (WPA). Beginning in October
2011 and under the direction of the Board’s Carlsbad Desalination Project Advisory Group,
staff began developing and negotiating with Poseidon a WPA consistent with the July 22,
2010 Board approved Term Sheet. The July 2010 Term Sheet also identified specific
conditions precedent to Board consideration of the WPA.
On November 29, 2012, the Water Authority Board adopted a resolution approving the
Design-Build Agreement between the Water Authority and Poseidon. The Design-Build
Agreement established the commercial and technical terms for implementation of the
desalination product pipeline improvements. These improvements consisted of an
approximate 10-mile long, 54-inch diameter conveyance pipeline connecting the Desalination
Plant to the Water Authority’s Second Aqueduct. The pipeline was generally be constructed
within improved streets in commercial and industrial areas in the cities of Carlsbad, Vista, and
San Marcos. The Water Authority owns the Project Water Pipeline Improvements and has
assumed operational control of all pipeline improvements. This system was placed into
service in late 2015.

Expected Supply
The Project provides a highly reliable local supply of 48,000 to 56,000 acre-feet per year of
supply for the region, available in both normal and dry hydrologic conditions. In 2020, the
Project would account for approximately 8% of the total projected regional supply and 30%
of all locally generated water in San Diego County. The project more than doubles the
amount of local supplies developed in the region since 1991.

The Water Authority was responsible for aqueduct improvements, including the relining and
rehabilitation of Pipeline 3 to accept desalinated water under higher operating pressures,
modifications to the San Marcos Vent that allows the flow of water between Pipelines 3 and
4, and improvements at the Twin Oaks Valley Water Treatment Plant necessary to integrate
desalinated water into the Water Authority’s system for optimal distribution to member
agencies.
Cost/Financing
The plant and the offsite pipeline is being financed through tax exempt government bonds
issued for the Water Authority by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority
(CPCFA). On November 29, 2012, the Water Authority Board adopted a resolution
approving agreements to accomplish tax exempt project financing through the CPCFA.
Based on current electricity cost estimates, the Water Purchase Agreement sets the price of
the water from the Carlsbad Desalination Project at $2,131 to $2,367 per acre foot in 2016.
The Water Authority’s water purchase costs would be financed through Water Authority rates
and charges. Poseidon is financing the capital cost of the Project with a combination of
private equity and tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds.

6.2.2 Water Authority Capital Improvement Program and Financial
Information
The Water Authority’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) can trace its beginnings to a
report approved by the Board in 1989 entitled, The Water Distribution Plan, and a Capital
Improvement Program through the Year 2010. The Water Distribution Plan included ten
projects designed to increase the capacity of the aqueduct system, increase the yield from
existing water treatment plants, obtain additional supplies from MWD, and increase the
reliability and flexibility of the aqueduct system. Since that time the Water Authority has
made numerous additions to the list of projects included in its CIP as the region’s
infrastructure needs and water supply outlook have changed.
The current list of projects included in the CIP is based on the results of planning studies,
including the 2015 UWMP and the 2013 Regional Water Facilities Optimization Master Plan
Update. These CIP projects, which are most recently described in the Water Authority’s
Adopted Multi-Year Budget Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021, include projects valued at $162
million. These CIP projects are designed to meet projected water supply and delivery needs
of the member agencies. The projects include a mix of new facilities that will add capacity to
existing conveyance, storage, and treatment facilities, as well as repair and replace aging
infrastructure:
Asset Management – The primary components of the asset management projects
include relining and replacing existing pipelines and updating and replacing metering
facilities.
New Facilities – These projects will expand the capacity of the aqueduct system and
evaluate new supply opportunities.
Emergency Storage Project – Projects remaining to be completed under the ongoing
ESP include the San Vicente Dam Raise, the Lake Hodges projects, and a new pump
station to extend ESP supplies to the northern reaches of the Water Authority service
area.
Other Projects – This category includes out-of-region groundwater storage, increased
local water treatment plant capacity, and projects that mitigate environmental impacts
of the CIP.
The Water Authority Board of Directors is provided a semi-annual and annual report on the
status of development of the CIP projects. As described in the Water Authority’s biennial
budget, a combination of long and short term debt and cash (pay-as-you-go) will provide
funding for capital improvements. Additional information is included in the Water

Authority’s biennial budget, which also contains selected financial information and
summarizes the Water Authority’s investment policy.
6.3 Otay Water District
The Otay Water District WFMP Update and the 2015 UWMP contain comparisons of
projected supply and demands through the year 2040. Projected potable water resources to
meet planned demands as documented were planned to be supplied entirely with imported
water received from the Water Authority. Recycled water resources to meet projected
demands are planned to be supplied from local wastewater treatment plants. The Otay WD
currently has no local supply of raw water, potable water, or groundwater resources.
The development and/or acquisition of potential groundwater, recycled water market
expansion, and seawater desalination supplies by the Otay WD have evolved and are planned
to occur in response to the regional water supply issues. These water supply projects are in
addition to those identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and MWD
UWMP, IRP, Master Plans, and other planning documents. These new additional water
supply projects are not currently developed and are in various stages of the planning process.
These local and regional water supply projects will allow for less reliance upon imported
water and are considered a new water supply resource for the Otay WD.
The supply forecasts contained within this WSA Report do consider development and/or
acquisition of potential groundwater, recycled water market expansion, and seawater
desalination supplies by the Otay WD.
6.3.1 Availability of Sufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring Additional
Supplies
The availability of sufficient potable water supplies and plans for acquiring additional potable
water supplies to serve existing and future demands of the Otay WD is founded upon the
preceding discussions regarding MWD’s and the Water Authority’s water supply resources
and water supplies to be acquired by the Otay WD. Historic imported water deliveries from
the Water Authority to Otay WD and recycled water deliveries from the Otay WD Ralph W.
Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) are shown in Table 5. Since the year 2000
through mid-May 2007, recycled water demand has exceeded the recycled water supply
capability typically in the summer months. The RWCWRF is limited to a maximum
production of about 1,300 acre-feet per year. The recycled water supply shortfall had been
met by supplementing with potable water into the recycled water storage system as needed by
adding potable water supplied by the Water Authority. On May 18, 2007 an additional source
of recycled water supply from the City of San Diego’s South Bay Water Reclamation Plant
(SBWRP) became available. The supply of recycled water from the SBWRP is a result of
completing construction and the operation of the transmission, storage, and pump station

6.3.1.1 Imported and Regional Supplies
The availability of sufficient imported and regional potable water supplies to serve existing
and planned uses within Otay WD is demonstrated in the above discussion on MWD and the
Water Authority’s water supply reliability. The County Water Authority Act, Section 5
subdivision 11, states that the Water Authority “as far as practicable, shall provide each of its
member agencies with adequate supplies of water to meet their expanding and increasing
needs.” The Water Authority provides between 75 to 95 percent of the total supplies used by
its 24 member agencies, depending on local weather and supply conditions.
Potable Water System Facilities
The Otay WD continues to pursue diversification of its water supply resources to increase
reliability and flexibility. The Otay WD also continues to plan, design, and construct potable
water system facilities to obtain these supplies and to distribute potable water to meet
customer demands. The Otay WD has successfully negotiated two water supply
diversification agreements that enhance reliability and flexibility, which are briefly described
as follows.
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project

The Otay WD entered into an agreement with the City of San Diego, known as the Otay
Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Agreement. The Otay WTP Agreement provides for raw
water purchase from the Water Authority and treatment by the City of San Diego at their
Otay WTP for delivery to Otay WD. The supply system link to implement the Otay
WTP Agreement to access the regions raw water supply system and the local water
treatment plant became fully operational in August 2005. This supply link consists of the
typical storage, transmission, pumping, flow measurement, and appurtenances to receive
and transport the treated water to the Otay WD system. The City of San Diego
obligation to supply 10 mgd of treated water under the Otay WTP Agreement is
contingent upon there being available 10 mgd of surplus treatment capacity in the Otay
WTP until such time as Otay WD pays the City of San Diego to expand the Otay WTP to
meet the Otay WD future needs. In the event that the City of San Diego’s surplus is
projected to be less than 10 mgd the City of San Diego will consider and not
unreasonably refuse the expansion of the Otay WTP to meet the Otay WD future needs.
The Otay WTP existing rated capacity is 40 mgd with an actual effective capacity of
approximately 34 mgd. The City of San Diego’s typical demand for treated water from
the Otay WTP is approximately 20 mgd. It is at the City of San Diego’s discretion to
utilize either imported raw water delivered by the Water Authority Pipeline No. 3 or local
water stored in Lower Otay Reservoir for treatment to supply the Otay WD demand.
The Otay WD entered into an agreement with the Water Authority, known as the East
County Regional Treated Water Improvement Program (ECRTWIP Agreement). The
ECRTWIP Agreement provides for transmission of raw water to the Helix WD R. M.
Levy WTP for treatment and delivery to Otay WD. The supply system link to implement
the ECRTWIP Agreement is complete allowing access to the regions raw water supply
system and the local water treatment plant. This supply link consists of the typical
transmission, pumping, storage, flow control, and appurtenances to receive and transport
the potable water from the R. M. Levy WTP to Otay WD.
Cost and Financing
The capital improvement costs associated with water supply and delivery are financed
through the Otay WD water meter capacity fee and user rate structures. The Otay WD
potable water sales revenue are used to pay for the wholesale cost of the treated water supply
and the operating and maintenance expenses of the potable water system facilities.
Written Agreements, Contracts, or Other Proof
The supply and cost associated with deliveries of treated water from the Otay WTP and the R.M.
Levy WTP is based on the following documents.
Agreement for the Purchase of Treated Water from the Otay Water Treatment Plant between the

April 27, 2006.
Agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority and Otay Water District for Design,
Construction, Operation, and Maintenance of the Otay 14 Flow Control Facility Modification.
The Otay WD entered into the Otay 14 Flow Control Facility Modification Agreement dated
January 24, 2007 with the Water Authority to increase the physical capacity of the Otay 14 Flow
Control Facility. The Water Authority and Otay WD shared the capital cost to expand its
capacity from 8 mgd to 16 mgd.
Federal, State, and Local Permits/Approvals
The Otay WD acquired all the permits for the construction of the pipeline and pump station
associated with the Otay WTP supply source and for the 640-1 and 640-2 water storage
reservoirs project associated with the ECRTWIP Agreement through the typical planning,
environmental approval, design, and construction processes.
The transmission main project constructed about 26,000 feet of a 36-inch diameter steel
pipeline from the Otay 14 Flow Control Facility to the 640-1 and 640-2 Reservoirs project.
The Otay 14 Flow Control Facility modification increased the capacity of the existing systems
from 8 mgd to 16 mgd. CEQA documentation is complete for both projects. Construction of
both of these projects was completed October 2010.
The City of San Diego and the Helix Water District are required to meet all applicable federal,
state, and local health and water quality requirements for the potable water produced at the
Otay WTP and the R.M. Levy WTP respectively.
6.3.1.2 Recycled Water Supplies
Wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services provided by the Otay WD is limited to
a relatively small area within what is known as the Jamacha Basin, located within the Middle
Sweetwater River Basin watershed upstream of the Sweetwater Reservoir and downstream of
Loveland Reservoir. Water recycling is defined as the treatment and disinfection of
municipal wastewater to provide a water supply suitable for non-potable reuse. The Otay WD
owns and operates the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility, which produces
recycled water treated to a tertiary level for landscape irrigation purposes. The recycled water
market area of the Otay WD is located primarily within the eastern area of the City of Chula
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
42
Vista. The Otay WD distributes recycled water to a substantial market area that includes but
is not limited to the Elite Athlete Training Center, the Eastlake Golf Course, Otay Ranch, and
other development projects.
The Otay WD projects that annual average demands for recycled water will increase to 6,500
acre-feet per year by 2050. About 1,300 acre-feet per year of supply is generated by the
RWCWRF, with the remainder planned to be supplied to Otay WD by the City of San
Diego’s SBWRP.
Recycled Water System Facilities
The Otay WD has constructed recycled water storage, pumping, transmission, and distribution
facilities and will continue to construct these facilities to meet projected recycled water
market demands. The Supply Link project consisting of a transmission main, storage
reservoir, and a pump station to receive and transport the recycled water from the City of San
Diego’s SBWRP was completed in 2007 and recycled water deliveries began on May 18,
2007.
Cost and Financing
The capital improvement costs associated with the recycled water supply and distribution
systems are financed through the Otay WD water meter capacity fee and user rate structures.
The Otay WD recycled water sales revenue, along with MWD and the Water Authority’s
recycled water sales incentive programs are used to help offset the costs for the wholesale
purchase and production of the recycled water supply, the operating and maintenance
expenses, and the capital costs of the recycled water system facilities.
Written Agreements, Contracts, or Other Proof
The supply and cost associated with deliveries of recycled water from the SBWRP is based on
the following document.
Agreement between the Otay Water District and the City of San Diego for Purchase of
Reclaimed Water from the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant. The agreement provides for the
purchase of at least 6,721 acre-feet per year of recycled water from the SBWRP at an initial price
of $350 per acre-foot. The Otay Water District Board of Directors approved the final agreement
on June 4, 2003 and the San Diego City Council approved the final agreement on October 20,
2003. Effective January 1, 2016, the City of San Diego raised the cost of recycled water 116% to
$754 per acre-foot.
Federal, State, and Local Permits/Approvals
The Otay WD has in place an agreement with MWD for their recycled water sales incentive
program for supplies from the RWCWRF and the SBWRP. Also, the Otay WD has in place
an agreement with the Water Authority for their recycled water sales incentive program for
supplies from the RWCWRF and the SBWRP. The Water Authority sales incentive

agreement was approved by Water Authority on July 26, 2007 and by Otay WD on August 1,
2007. All permits for the construction of the recycled water facilities to receive, store, and
pump the SBWRP supply have been acquired through the typical planning, environmental
approval, design, and construction processes.
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Diego Region (RWQCB) “Master
Reclamation Permit for Otay Water District Ralph W. Chapman Reclamation Facility” was
adopted on May 9, 2007 (Order No. R9-2007-0038). This order establishes master
reclamation requirements for the production, distribution, and use of recycled water in the
Otay WD service area. The order includes the use of tertiary treated water produced and
received from the City of San Diego‘s SBWRP. Recycled water received from and produced
by the SBWRP is regulated by Regional Board Order No. 2000-203 and addenda. The City
of San Diego is required to meet all applicable federal, state, and local health and water
quality requirements for the recycled water produced at the SBWRP and delivered to Otay
WD in conformance with Order No. 2000-203.
6.3.1.3 Potential Groundwater Supplies
The Otay Water District WFMP Update, 2015 UWMP, and the 2015 Integrated Water
Resources Plan Update all contain a description of the development of potential groundwater
supplies. Over the past several years, Otay WD has studied numerous potential groundwater
supply options that have shown, through groundwater monitoring well activities, poor quality
water and/or insufficient yield from the basins at a cost-effective level. The Otay WD has
developed capital improvement program projects to continue the quest to develop potential
groundwater resources. Local Otay WD groundwater supply development is currently
considered as a viable water supply resource to meet projected demands.
The development and/or acquisition of potential groundwater supply projects by the Otay WD
have been on hold in response to the regional water supply issues related to water source
supply conditions. Local ground water supply projects will allow for less reliance upon
imported water, achieve a level of independence of the regional wholesale water agencies, and
diversify the Otay WD water supply portfolio consistent with the Otay Water District 2015
IRP Update.
In recognition of the need to develop sufficient alternative water supplies, the Otay WD has
taken the appropriate next steps towards development of production groundwater well
projects.
The Otay WD is actively pursuing the Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well
project.
Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well
The Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well is an additional water supply project
that was thoroughly studied and documented in the 1990s. The Middle Sweetwater River
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
44
Basin is located within the Sweetwater River watershed and that reach of the river extends
from Sweetwater Reservoir to the upstream Loveland Reservoir. The next step in
development of the Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well is the implementation
of a pilot well project. The ultimate objective of the Otay WD is to develop a groundwater
well production system within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable of producing a
sustainable yield of potable water as a local supply.
The purpose of the Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot project is to
identify the feasibility of developing a groundwater resource production system and then
determine and assess any limitations or constraints that may arise. The Middle Sweetwater
River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot Project will accomplish six primary goals:
Update project setting
Update applicable project alternatives analysis
Prepare groundwater well pilot project implementation plan
Construct and test pilot monitoring and extraction wells
Provide recommendations regarding costs and feasibility to develop a groundwater
well production system within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable of
producing a sustainable yield of potable water
Prepare groundwater well production project implementation plan and scope of work
The groundwater conjunctive use concept is described as the extraction of the quantity of
water from the groundwater basin that was placed there by customers of the Otay Water
District, Helix Water District, and Padre Dam Municipal Water District by means of their use
of imported treated water that contributed to the overall volume of groundwater within the
basin. An estimated quantity was developed to be approximately 12.5 percent of the total
consumption of the Otay WD customers within that basin, as measured by water meters. In
the 1994-1995 period, the quantity of water that was returned to the groundwater basin by
Otay WD customers was estimated to be 810 acre-feet per year. Currently, that 12.5 percent
quantity could be on the order of 1,000 acre-feet per year. A future scope of work will need
to address this concept while considering further development of the groundwater basin as an
additional supply resource. If it is deemed that a Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well Production Project is viable then the consultant will develop and provide a
groundwater well production project implementation plan, cost estimate, and related scope of
work.
Further development of the groundwater basin to enhance the total groundwater production
could be accomplished by the Otay WD by means of additional extraction of water from the
basin that is placed there by means of either injection and/or spreading basins using imported
untreated water as the resource supply. The existing La Mesa Sweetwater Extension Pipeline,
owned by the Water Authority, once converted to an untreated water delivery system, could
be the conveyance system to transport untreated water for groundwater recharge in support of
this conjunctive use concept. These two distinct water resource supply conjunctive use
concepts will be addressed so they may coexist and to allow for their development as separate
phases.

The scope of work to complete Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot
Project consists of many major tasks and is to address the groundwater supply concepts
outlined above. It is anticipated that the cost for the entire scope of work, will be on the order
of $2,000,000, which includes a contingency and may take up to one and a half years to
complete.
The primary desired outcome of the Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot
Project is for the engineering consultant to determine and make recommendations if it is
financially prudent and physically feasible to develop a Phase I groundwater well production
system within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable of producing a sustainable yield of
up to 1,500 ac-ft/yr of potable water for the Otay WD. If it is deemed that a Middle
Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Production Project is viable then the consultant
will develop and provide a groundwater well production project implementation plan and
related scope of work.
Rancho del Rey Well Groundwater Well Project
In 1991, the McMillin Development Company drilled the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well
to augment grading water supplies for their Rancho del Rey development projects. Although
the well was considered a “good producer,” little was known regarding its water quality and
sustainable yield because the water was used solely for earthwork (i.e. dust control and soil
compaction). The well was drilled to 865 feet, with a finished depth of 830 feet and produced
approximately 400 AFY of low quality water for four years until its use was discontinued in
April 1995 when the well was no longer needed. McMillin notified the Otay WD of its intent
to sell off the groundwater well asset.
In 1997, the Otay WD purchased an existing 7-inch well and the surrounding property on
Rancho del Rey Parkway from the McMillin Company with the intent to develop it as a
source of potable water. Treatment was required to remove salts and boron, among other
constituents, using reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange.
In 2000, having received proposals for the design and construction of a reverse osmosis
treatment facility that far exceeded the allocated budget, the Board of Directors instructed
staff to suspend the project until such time as it became economically viable.
In January 2010, citing the rising cost of imported water and the Otay WD's interest in
securing its own water source for long-term supply reliability, the Board authorized Phase 1
for drilling and development of the Rancho del Rey Well.
On March 3, 2010, the Board adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project and
a Notice of Determination was filed with the County of San Diego on March 5, 2010. In
September 2010, a new 12-inch production well was drilled to a depth of 900 feet through the
groundwater formation and into fractured bedrock. Testing showed the long-term yield of the
new well to be 450 gpm, higher than previous studies had estimated. Separation Processes,

Inc. (SPI), a highly qualified membrane treatment firm, was hired to conduct a detailed
economic feasibility study to confirm that the annualized unit cost of the new water source
was economically competitive with other sources. The economic study estimated the unit
cost of water to be $1, 500 to $2,000 per AF for an alternative that utilizes a seawater
membrane for treating both salts and boron. When compared with the current imported
treated water rate from the Water Authority, and with the knowledge that this rate will
continually increase as MWD and the Water Authority raise their rates, the Rancho del Rey
Well project appears to be economically viable.
The Otay WD is continuing to pursue the Rancho del Rey groundwater well opportunity with
due consideration of the recommendations of the existing reports and plans to develop a
groundwater well production facility to extract approximately 500 AFY. For water planning
purposes, production of groundwater from the Rancho del Rey well is considered “additional
planned” for local supplies.
Otay Mesa Lot 7 Groundwater Well
In early 2001 the Otay WD was approached by a landowner representative about possible
interest in purchasing an existing well or alternatively, acquiring groundwater supplied from
the well located on Otay Mesa. The landowner, National Enterprises, Inc., reportedly stated
that the well could produce 3,200 acre-feet per year with little or no treatment required prior
to introducing the water into the Otay WD potable water system or alternatively, the recycled
water system. In March 2001 authorization to proceed with testing of the Otay Mesa Lot 7
Groundwater Well was obtained and the Otay WD proceeded with the investigation of this
potential groundwater supply opportunity.
The May 2001 Geoscience Support Services, Inc. completed for the Otay WD the preparation
of a report entitled, “Otay Mesa Lot 7 Well Investigation,” to assess the Otay Mesa Lot 7
Well. The scope of work included a geohydrologic evaluation of the well, analyses of the
water quality samples, management and review of the well video log, and documentation of
well pump testing. The primary findings, as documented in the report, formed the basis of the
following recommendations:
For the existing well to be used as a potable water supply resource, a sanitary seal
must be installed in accordance with the CDPH guidelines.
Drawdown in the well must be limited to avoid the possibility of collapsing the casing.
Recover from drawdown from pumping is slow and extraction would need to be
terminated for up to 2 days to allow for groundwater level recovery.
The well water would need to be treated and/or blended with potable water prior to
introduction into the potable water distribution system.
The existing Otay Mesa Lot 7 Well, based upon the above findings, was determined not to be
a reliable municipal supply of potable water and that better water quality and quantity perhaps
could be discovered deeper or at an alternative location within the San Diego Formation.
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
47
The Otay WD may still continue to pursue the Otay Mesa groundwater well opportunity with
due consideration of the recommendations of the existing report. Based on the
recommendations of the investigation report, a groundwater well production facility at Otay
Mesa Lot 7 could realistically extract approximately 300 acre-feet per year.
6.3.1.4 Otay Water District Rosarito Ocean Desalination Project
The Otay WD is considering the feasibility of purchasing desalinated water from a seawater
reverse osmosis plant that may be located in Rosarito, Mexico. The treatment facility would
be designed, constructed, and operated in Mexico by a third party. The Otay WD’s draft
Desalination Feasibility Study, prepared in 2008, discusses the likely issues to be considered
in terms of water treatment and monitoring, potential conveyance options within the United
States from the international border to potential delivery points, and environmental,
institutional, and permitting considerations for the Otay WD to import the Desalination
project product water as a new local water supply resource.
While the treatment facility for a Desalination project would not be designed or operated by
the Otay WD, it will be important that the Otay WD maintain involvement with the planning,
design, and construction of any future facility to ensure that the implemented processes
provide a product water of acceptable quality for distribution and use within the Otay WD’s
system as well as in other regional agencies’ systems that may use the product water, i.e. City
of San Diego, the Water Authority, etc. A seawater reverse osmosis treatment plant removes
constituents of concern from the seawater, producing a water quality that far exceeds
established United States and California drinking water regulations for most parameters,
however, a two-pass treatment system may be required to meet acceptable concentrations of
boron and chlorides, similar to the levels seen within the existing Otay WD supply
sources. The Desalination Feasibility Study addresses product water quality that is considered
acceptable for public health and distribution.
The Otay WD, or any other potential participating agencies, would be required to get approval
from the DDW in order to use the desalinated seawater as a water source. Several alternative
approaches are identified for getting this approval. These alternatives vary in their cost and
their likelihood of meeting DDW approval.
The Rosarito Desalination Facility Conveyance and Disinfection System Project report
addresses two supply targets for the desalinated water (i.e. local and regional). The local
alternative assumes that only Otay WD would participate and receive desalinated water, while
the regional alternative assumes that other regional and/or local agencies would also
participate in the Rosarito project.
6.3.2 Otay Water District Capital Improvement Program
The Otay WD plans, designs, constructs, and operates water system facilities to acquire
sufficient supplies and to meet projected ultimate demands placed upon the potable and recycled
water systems. In addition, the Otay WD forecasts needs and plans for water supply
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
48
requirements to meet projected demands at ultimate build out. The necessary water facilities and
water supply projects are implemented and constructed when development activities proceed and
require service to achieve timely and adequate cost-effective water service.
New water facilities that are required to accommodate the forecasted growth within the entire
Otay WD service area are defined and described within the Otay Water District WFMP Update.
These facilities are incorporated into the annual Otay WD Six Year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) for implementation when required to support development activities. As major
development plans are formulated and proceed through the land use jurisdictional agency
approval processes, Otay WD prepares water system requirements specifically for the proposed
development project consistent with the Otay WD WFMP Update. These requirements
document, define, and describe all the potable water and recycled water system facilities to be
constructed to provide an acceptable and adequate level of service to the proposed land uses, as
well as the financial responsibility of the facilities required for service. The Otay WD funds the
facilities identified as CIP projects. Established water meter capacity fees and user rates are
collected to fund the CIP project facilities. The developer funds all other required water system
facilities to provide water service to their project.
Section 7 – Conclusion: Availability of Sufficient Supplies
The Sunbow II, Phase 3 project is currently located within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD,
Water Authority, and MWD. To obtain permanent imported water supply service, land areas
are required to be within the jurisdictions of the Otay WD, Water Authority, and MWD to
utilize imported water supply.
The Water Authority and MWD have an established process that ensures supplies are being
planned to meet future growth. Any annexations and revisions to established land use plans
are captured in the SANDAG updated forecasts for land use planning, demographics, and
economic projections. SANDAG serves as the regional, intergovernmental planning agency
that develops and provides forecast information. The Water Authority and MWD update their
demand forecasts and supply needs based on the most recent SANDAG forecast
approximately every five years to coincide with preparation of their urban water management
plans. Prior to the next forecast update, local jurisdictions with land use authority may require
water supply assessment and/or verification reports for proposed land developments that are
not within the Otay WD, Water Authority, or MWD jurisdictions (i.e. pending or proposed
annexations) or that have revised land use plans with either lower or higher development
intensities than reflected in the existing growth forecasts. Proposed land areas with pending
or proposed annexations, or revised land use plans, typically result in creating higher demand
and supply requirements than previously anticipated. The Otay WD, Water Authority, and
MWD next demand forecast and supply requirements and associated planning documents
would then capture any increase or decrease in demands and required supplies as a result of
annexations or revised land use planning decisions.

MWD’s IRP identifies a mix of resources (imported and local) that, when implemented, will
provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the attainment of regional
targets set for conservation, local supplies, State Water Project supplies, Colorado River
supplies, groundwater banking, and water transfers. The 2015 IRP Update describes an
adaptive management strategy to protect the region from future supply shortages. This
adaptive management strategy has five components: achieve additional conservation savings,
develop additional local water supplies, maintain Colorado River Aqueduct supplies, stabilize
State Water Project supplies, and maximize the effectiveness of storage and transfer. MWD’s
2015 IRP has a plan for identifying and implementing additional resources that expand the
ability for MWD to meet future changes and challenges as necessary to ensure future
reliability of supplies. The proper management of these resources help to ensure that the
southern California region, including San Diego County, will have adequate water supplies to
meet long-term future demands.
MWD adopted its 2015 UWMP, in accordance with state law, on May 9, 2016. The resource
targets included in the preceding 2015 IRP Update serve as the foundation for the planning
assumptions used in the 2015 UWMP. MWD’s 2015 UWMP contains a water supply
reliability assessment that includes a detailed evaluation of the supplies necessary to meet
demands over a 20-year period in average, single dry year, and multiple dry year periods. As
part of this process, MWD also uses the current SANDAG regional growth forecast in
calculating regional water demands for the Water Authority’s service area.
As stated in MWD’s 2015 UWMP, the plan may be used as a source document for meeting
the requirements of SB 610 and SB 221 until the next scheduled update is completed in 5
years (2020). The 2015 UWMP includes a “Justifications for Supply Projections” in
Appendix A.3, that provides detailed documentation of the planning, legal, financial, and
regulatory basis for including each source of supply in the plan.
In the Findings Section of the Executive Summary (Page ES-5) of their 2015 UWMP, MWD
states that MWD has supply capacities that would be sufficient to meet expected demands
from 2020 through 2040 under the single dry-year and multiple dry-year conditions. MWD
has plans for supply implementation and continued development of a diversified resource mix
including programs in the Colorado River Aqueduct, State Water Project, Central Valley
Transfers, local resource projects, and in-region storage that enables the region to meet its
water supply needs. MWD’s 2015 UWMP identifies potential reserve supplies in the supply
capability analysis (Tables 2-4, 2-5 and 2-6), which could be available to meet the
unanticipated demands.
The County Water Authority Act, Section 5 subdivision 11, states that the Water Authority
“as far as practicable, shall provide each of its member agencies with adequate supplies of
water to meet their expanding and increasing needs.”
As part of preparation of a written water supply assessment report, an agency’s shortage
contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency of supply. Section 11
of the Water Authority’s 2015 Updated UWMP contains a detailed shortage contingency
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
50
analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought management.
The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies, through the
Integrated Contingency Plan, Emergency Storage Project, Carlsbad Desalination Project, and
Water Shortage Contingency Plan are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle
an interruption of water supplies. The 2017 Water Shortage Contingency Plan provides the
Water Authority and its member agencies with a series of potential actions to take when faced
with a shortage of imported water supplies from MWD due to prolonged drought or other
supply shortfall conditions. The actions will help the region avoid or minimize the impacts of
shortages and ensure an equitable allocation of supplies.
The WSA&V Report identifies and describes the processes by which water demand
projections for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project will be fully included in the water
demand and supply forecasts of the Urban Water Management Plans and other water
resources planning documents of the Water Authority and MWD. Water supplies necessary
to serve the demands of the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project, along with existing and
other projected future users, as well as the actions necessary and status to develop these
supplies, have been identified in the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project WSA&V Report and will be
included in the future water supply planning documents of the Water Authority and MWD.
This WSA&V Report includes, among other information, an identification of existing water
supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, water supply projects, or
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3
project. This WSA Report assesses, demonstrates, and documents that sufficient water
supplies are planned for and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon,
under normal conditions and in single and multiple dry years to meet the projected demand of
the proposed Sunbow II, Phase 3 project and the existing and other planned development
projects to be served by the Otay WD.
Table 6 presents the forecasted balance of water demands and required supplies for the Otay
WD service area under average or normal year conditions. The total actual demand for FY
2015 was 30,271 acre-feet. The demand for FY 2015 is 2,999 acre-feet lower than the
demand in FY 2010 of 33,270 acre-feet. The drop in demand is a result of the unit price of
water, the conservation efforts of users as a result of the prolonged drought, and the economy.
Table 6 presents the forecasted balance of water demands and supplies for the Otay WD
service area under single dry year conditions. Table 7 presents the forecasted balance of
water demands and supplies for the Otay WD service area under multiple dry year conditions
for the three-year period ending in 2019. The multiple dry year conditions for periods ending
in 2025, 2030, and 2035 are provided in the Otay Water District 2015 UWMP. The projected
potable demand and supply requirements shown the Tables 6 and 7 are from the Otay WD
2015 UWMP. Hot, dry weather may generate urban water demands that are about 6.4 percent
greater than normal. This percentage was utilized to generate the dry year demands shown in
Table 7. The recycled water supplies are assumed to experience no reduction in a dry year.

Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report
Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
52
Dry year demands assumed to generate a 7% increase in demand over normal conditions for a
single dry year. For multiple dry years an 8% increase in demand over normal conditions is
projected in the first year, 14% in the second year and 21% increase is projected in the third
year in addition to new demand growth.
In evaluating the availability of sufficient water supply, the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project
development proponents will be required to participate in the development of alternative
water supply project(s). This can be achieved through payment of the New Water Supply Fee
adopted by the Otay WD Board in May 2010. These water supply projects are in addition to
those identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and MWD UWMP,
IRP, Master Plans, and other planning documents. These new water supply projects are in
response to the regional water supply issues related to climatological, environmental, legal,
and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions, such as the court rulings
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current ongoing western states drought
conditions. These new additional water supply projects are not currently developed and are in
various stages of the planning process. The Otay WD water supply development program
includes but is not limited to projects such as the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well project and the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project. The Water
Authority and MWD’s next forecasts and supply planning documents would capture any
increase in water supplies resulting from any new water resources developed by the Otay WD.
The Otay WD acknowledges the ever-present challenge of balancing water supply with
demand and the inherent need to possess a flexible and adaptable water supply
implementation strategy that can be relied upon during normal and dry weather conditions.
The responsible regional water supply agencies have and will continue to adapt their resource
plans and strategies to meet climate, environmental, and legal challenges so that they may
continue to provide water supplies to their service areas. The regional water suppliers along
with Otay WD fully intend to maintain sufficient reliable supplies through the 20-year
planning horizon under normal, single, and multiple dry year conditions to meet projected
demand of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project, along with existing and other planned development
projects within the Otay WD service area.
This WSA&V Report assesses, demonstrates, and documents that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be acquired, as well as the actions necessary and status to
develop these supplies, to meet projected water demands of the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project as
well as existing and other reasonably foreseeable planned development projects within the
Otay WD for a 20-year planning horizon, in normal and in single and multiple dry years.

SB 610 & SB 221 Compliance
EXHIBIT D
BACKGROUND
•Senate Bills 610 and 221, effective on 1/1/2002, with the
intent to improve the link between water supply availability
and land use decisions.
•SB 610 requires a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) and SB
221 requires a Water Supply Assessment & Verification
(WSA&V) to be included in the CEQA documents for a
project.
•Board approval required for submittal of the WSA&V Report
to the City of Chula Vista.
City of Chula Vista Sunbow II, Phase 3 Project
•The Sunbow community is built out, with the
exception of Planning Area 23, located south
of Olympic Parkway and east of Brandywine
Avenue.
•PA 23 was originally designated as a 46-acre
industrial park in the Sunbow II Sectional
Planning Area Plan (SPA). Later refined as a
69-acre development area.
•The City has received an entitlement
application for an amendment to the SPA for
the Sunbow II, Phase 3 project and is
preparing an EIR which requires a WSA&V
report.
Project Description
•The project area is 135.7 total acres and includes 44.2-acres of residential, a 0.9-acre
Community Purpose Facility site, 5.9-acres of public streets, and 16.5-acres of
manufactured slopes and basins.
•Also includes about 4.3-acres of proposed Poggi Canyon Easement areas, a 0.3-acre
conserved wetland resource area and 63.6-acres of adjacent preserve areas.
Potable & Recycled Water Demand
•Expected potable water demand for proposed 718 multi-
family residential units is 122,060 gallons per day or 136.7
acre-feet per year (AFY).
•Original projected demands for this project in the District’s
2015 Water Facilities Master Plan was 52 AFY for industrial
use.
•The 84.7 AFY increase will be accounted for through the
Accelerated Forecasted Growth demand increment of the
County Water Authority’s 2015 Urban Water Management
Plan.
•The project will use recycled water for irrigation of
manufactured slopes and common areas. The projected
recycled water demand for the project is 24,510 GPD, or about
27.5 AFY.

STAFF REPORT
TYPE MEETING:Regular Board MEETING DATE: January 6, 2021
SUBMITTED BY:Kevin Koeppen, Assistant
Chief of Finance
PROJECT: DIV. NO.All
APPROVED BY: Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
Jose Martinez, General Manager
SUBJECT:Informational Item Regarding the Updated Impacts of COVID-19
on the District’s FY 2021 Budget and Six-Year Projection
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
This is an informational item only.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To update the Board on the impacts COVID-19 is having on the FY
2021 budget and related six-year projection.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this staff report is to review the updated FY
2021 budget rate model which has been modified to reflect
reductions in the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the FY 2021
budget and six-year rate model projection.
The FY 2021 budget included $8.8M of adverse impacts related to
COVID-19. The adverse impacts were fully offset by CIP savings
initiatives of $8.5M and OPEX savings initiatives of $0.4M.
AGENDA ITEM 11
2
Staff is recommending that no modifications be made to the FY
2021 budget as the expected benefit of additional revenues
associated with this budget update is anticipated to be entirely
offset by the need to add or accelerate three (3) CIP projects
that have been identified subsequent to the FY 2021 budget
process. These CIPs will be added in the 2022-2026 proposed CIP
budget.
When compared to the original FY 2021 six-year rate model, staff
is projecting reserves will exceed projected levels by
approximately $5.5M by FY 2024. Approximately $2.7M of the
excess reserve is projected to be realized in FY 2021. The
benefit is based on actual overall sales volumes to date which
have not been seriously impacted by COVID-19 as previously
anticipated. Staff is projecting that the $5.5M benefit will be
fully offset by the three newly identified CIP projects. The
three newly identified CIP projects consists of two pipeline
replacements (Olympic Parkway and Jamul) and a tank recoating
project.
The following modifications have been made to the original FY
2021 rate model to reflect modified assumptions from the
anticipated adverse impacts of COVID-19 to what is currently
expected:
1.Water sales were adjusted to reflect volumes consistent
with past usage, removing the respective 12% and 15%
reductions in potable and recycled volumes. This
adjustment to sales results in a one-time reserve benefit
of $5.3M.
2.Reinstatement of penalty revenue is projected to increase
the one-time reserve benefit by approximately $230k.
As staff looks forward to preparing the FY 2022 budget and rate
model these benefits could be used to do one or a combination of
the following:
1.Reduce projected debt issuances.
2a. Reduce future annual rate increases from 4.4% to 4.1%
(0.3%) per year for five (5) years.
2b. A one-time benefit reducing the FY 2022 rate increase
from 4.4% to 3.3%.
3.Fund newly identified CIP projects.
It should be noted that the pandemic has not subsided and there
remains uncertainty about the duration and depth of the impact
to some areas of the District. The ban on locking for
3
nonpayment remains, unemployment numbers remain high, and as the
county re-entered level purple in November, restrictions and
closures of commercial businesses have been reinstated. Each of
these items has the potential to adversely impact the District’s
finances in the future.
Budget Update
Sales Update
Through October, the District’s water sales volume has not
experienced the relative adverse impact of COVID-19 anticipated
in the FY 2021 budget. Staff updated the six-year rate model by
increasing revenues, purchases, and power costs based on the
historic volumes and current trends. Staff has not adjusted bad
debt and property tax as the impact of COVID-19 on these items
has not been determined.
The following table summarizes the benefit of the additional
sales. The original budget assumed a sharp reduction of FY 2021
water volumes, followed by a recovery of the reduction over the
following three (3) years. Fifty percent of the recovery was
projected to occur in FY 2022 and the remaining 50% would
recover evenly over the following two (2) years. The recovery
is summarized at the bottom of the table resulting in a total
updated budget benefit of $5.3M compared to the original budget.

Penalty Waiver
The sales figures in the preceding table have been adjusted to
reflect the penalty waiver continuing until June 30, 2021. As
of November 16, 2020, penalties continue to be waived. Staff is
currently evaluating the potential reinstatement of penalties in
the second half of FY 2021. Reinstating penalties in the second
half of FY 2021 may increase the projected reserves by a total
of up to $200k.
Reduced Future Debt Issuances
For FY 2021, the District implemented half the rate increase
that would have been proposed under normal circumstances. To
offset the reduced revenues, and adoption of the half-rate
increase budget option, the original FY 2021 budget projected
$20.1M of debt be issued over the six-year period. Prior to
COVID-19 the full-rate increase scenario projected no debt would
be issued for the water system over the six-year period. As
staff prepares the FY 2022 budget, the benefit could be used to
reduce future debt issuances.
Reduced Future Rate Increases
The benefit could also be used to reduce future rate increases.
The following table summarizes the original water rate increases
projected in the FY 2021 budget compared to two updated methods
of utilizing the reserve benefit. The first updated method,
titled “smoothed adjustment”, allocated the benefit evenly
across all future years. The second updated method, titled
“one-time adjustment”, utilizes the entire benefit to reduce the
FY 2022 rate increase, followed by future rate increases that
are consistent with the original budget. The projected debt
issuances under these scenarios would be $20.1M, plus an
additional amount needed to fund the newly identified CIP
projects.
2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026
Original 2.9% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4%
Smoothed Adjustment 2.9% 4.1% 4.1% 4.1% 4.1% 4.1%
One-time Adjustment 2.9% 3.3% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4%
Fund Newly Identified CIP Projects
Throughout the year staff identifies new CIP projects that will
be added to the following year’s budget. Since the last budget
was approved in June, staff has identified three (3) new CIP
projects, which include two (2) pipeline replacement projects
5
and a reservoir coating project. The amount of these projects
is anticipated to exceed the $5.5M benefit projection. Through
the upcoming budget process other CIPs might also be identified.
Original Budget
The District’s FY 2021 budget and six-year rate model reflected
the following estimated adverse impacts related to COVID-19. In
response, the District implemented savings initiatives, which
are also summarized in the table below. Approximately $8.5M of
the $8.9M of total six-year savings initiatives was due to CIP
reductions in FY 2021 and FY 2022. The following table
summarizes the impacts of COVID-19 incorporated into the
original budget.
The negative impact on bad debt was not adjusted as part of this
update. As of November 16th, COVID-19 continues to impact the
region and there remains a ban on locking for non-payment. As a
result of not being able to lock, the FY 2021 outstanding
lockable balance as of November 16, 2020, has increased $300k
compared to FY 2020. Due to the duration of COVID-19 remaining
unknown, the ban on locking, and the current trend in lockable
accounts, staff did not reduce the bad debt budget as part of
the update.
Based on communication with the San Diego County Assessor’s
Office and insufficient data to substantiate an adjustment, the
negative impact on property taxes was not adjusted as part of
this update. The District received written communication in
April from the San Diego County Assessor’s Office that tax
remittances could be affected by COVID-19. District staff
6
contacted the Assessor’s Office as part of this review and was
informed that property taxes are being adversely impacted by
COVID-19. They were not able to provide specific details
concerning the District’s tax receipts, the majority of which
are received in December and April.
The negative impact on capacity fee revenue was not adjusted as
part of this update. Through October the District had sold 224
EDUs. At the current run-rate the 2021 capacity fees are
trending above budget; however, capacity fees are not
necessarily consistent, and there can be significant
fluctuations month-to-month. There is no certainty that future
capacity fee sales will continue at the current pace; therefore,
we did not adjust the capacity fee revenues as part of this
update.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
As an informational item, this report does not have a fiscal
impact.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
To ensure that the costs of service are born by responsible
parties. This revenue source will help the District meet its
fiscal responsibility to its ratepayers.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT/PROJECT:Informational Item Regarding the Updated Impacts of COVID-
19 on the District’s FY 2021 Budget and Six-Year Projection
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance and Administration Committee (Committee) reviewed
this item at a meeting held on December 1, 2020 and the
following comments were made:
•Staff presented information from the staff report regarding
the impacts of COVID-19 on the District’s FY 2021 budget
and six-year projection.
•It was shared that a Quarterly CIP update was presented to
the Engineering, Operations and Water Resources Committee
on November 30, 2020. During the presentation, staff
indicated in response to two inquiries from the Committee
that a total of $8.5 million in CIP savings (deferred CIP)
was incorporated into the FY 2021 six-year rate model and
up to $5 million could be advanced with minimal rate
impact. The minimal rate impact would largely be due to
any interest cost associated with the potential
acceleration of proposed future debt issuances ($21
million) by one (1) year. While some CIP’s could be
advanced, staff is not proposing that the FY 2021 CIP be
increased base on the limited time available to mobilize
staff in the current fiscal year.
•Staff indicated that as they prepare the FY 2022 budget,
the CIP will be evaluated and projects will be accelerated
as needed.
•Based on the one-time reserve benefit (approximately $5.3
to $5.5 million) being offset by the anticipated
acceleration of CIP projects, and the continuation of the
pandemic, staff is recommending that no modifications be
made to the FY 2021 budget.
8
•Staff communicated that, as part of the FY 2022 budget, the
one-time reserve benefit could be utilized to fund
accelerated CIP, smoothed in as a rate benefit across
multiple years, or utilized as a one-time reduction in a
single year’s rate increase. The Committee commented that
as staff prepares the FY 2022 budget, that they would like
staff to utilize a “smoothing” approach to any rate
benefit, as ratepayers are sensitive to significant single-
year increases or decreases in the rates.
Upon completion of the discussion, the Committee supported
presentation to the full board as an informational item.

Customer Service Manager
PROJECT: DIV. NO.All
APPROVED BY: Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
Jose Martinez, General Manager
SUBJECT:Report on Customer Delinquencies
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
This is an informational item only.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To update the Board on the current state of customer delinquencies
and the efforts staff is making to encourage customers to pay their
water bills during the pandemic.
ANALYSIS:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency
in California due to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) health
emergency. On March 16th, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-
28-20 acknowledging many utility providers, both public and private,
have voluntarily announced moratoriums on service disconnections and
late fees for non-payment in response to COVID-19. On April 2nd,
Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-42-20 suspending the ability
of water utilities, throughout the state, to disconnect residential
or small business water services for non-payment.
Recognizing the importance of hand washing and good hygiene to combat
the spread of COVID-19, the District stopped its practice of
AGENDA ITEM 12
disconnecting customers for non-payment on March 16th. Governor
Newsom’s April 2nd executive order converted the action from voluntary
to mandatory. On March 19th, recognizing the economic burden COVID-19
was having on residential and commercial customers, the District
stopped imposing late penalty charges on past due payments.
Customer Delinquency
Prior to March, an average of 200 meters were locked monthly for non-
payment. By law, these customers had balances over 60 days
delinquent and had been notified multiple times regarding the
delinquent balance prior to service being interrupted.
In order to evaluate overall delinquency during COVID-19, staff has
been tracking the number of lockable accounts on a weekly basis.
Below are the month-end lockable account numbers after March. Owners
and tenants are broken out separately as tenant accounts hold
additional risk to the District.
April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov*
Owner 447 589 600 469 498 578 576 608
Tenant 424 421 429 405 425 477 464 473
Total 871 1010 1029 874 923 1055 1040 1081
*as of November 16th
As expected, the total number of lockable accounts continues to
increase far beyond the pre-COVID-19 monthly average. Additionally,
the total lockable delinquent dollar amount continues to rise as
customers accrue additional delinquent water bills.
April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov*
Owner $95,334 $196,864 $240,513 $198,605 $205,805 $218,828 $232,601 $247,298
Tenant $70,878 $116,506 $119,982 $130,590 $158,471 $193,412 $204,142 $214,658
Total $166,212 $313,370 $360,495 $329,195 $364,276 $412,240 $436,743 $461,956
*as of November 16th
Outreach Efforts
At the onset of the pandemic, to be sensitive to customers’ financial
uncertainty, staff greatly reduced delinquent outreach to customers
with past due balances. In a typical month prior to COVID-19,
delinquent customers would receive a delinquent notification on their
monthly bill, an email notifying them of the outstanding balance, a
phone call or mailed postcard warning of impending water shut-off for
non-payment, and a text message the day before disconnection advising
them to pay immediately. Beginning in March, outreach was reduced to
the past due notification on their water bill and a courtesy email
reminding them of their outstanding balance. Without the threat of
disconnection, calls from customers behind on their water bills
reduced significantly.
In early June, in response to increasing delinquent balances, staff
sent out a postcard to over 700 customers that were more than 90 days
delinquent. This postcard reminded customers that they had an
outstanding water balance and, even though service would not be
disconnected, they would ultimately be responsible for the balances
accrued.
Beginning in July, staff resumed automated phone calls notifying
customers of outstanding balances. For anyone that is not
successfully reached by phone, a postcard is mailed. Customers also
receive a courtesy text message on the same day the payment reminder
email is sent.
On October 1st, staff began sending letters out to property owners
notifying them of seriously delinquent balances on their tenant
accounts. Previously, owners were notified when their tenant account
was locked for non-payment. Since disconnection for non-payment is
temporarily suspended, this new letter replaces that notification.
The District wants to ensure property owners are aware of these past
due balances because delinquencies on tenant accounts can negatively
impact the owner’s ability to have accounts in the names of future
tenants.
Collection Efforts
Disconnecting water service for non-payment has always been the most
expedient way to collect outstanding balances. Below are other
options the District has to aid with collections.
Property Lien
The District has the ability to lien property owners when their
accounts become delinquent. Customers are sent an intent to lien
letter which gives them the opportunity to bring their account
current within 30 days. If they fail to pay during that time, a lien
is filed with the county. If the property owner wants to sell the
property or refinance their loan, they will have to pay their
outstanding water debt to have the lien released. Prior to the
COVID-19 pandemic, this was done for active accounts that had been
locked and remained unpaid, sewer only accounts that had a delinquent
balance over $100, and closed accounts where the owner continued
ownership of the property but failed to pay the final balance. At
the end of July, staff began to initiate the lien process on active
owner accounts that owed greater than $1000 over 120 days past due.
Since that time, the process has been expanded and, by the end of
December, will include all owner accounts that have past due balances
over 120 days. This lien gives the District some security to
collect.
District staff is currently looking at potentially expanding the lien
process to include placing a lien on a landlord’s property for
delinquent tenant balances. The State Water Code allows outstanding
tenant debts to become the property owner’s responsibility and a lien
to be placed on the property if unpaid. The District has never
exercised this practice but, with the inability to disconnect, may
look at this as another option to secure payment on tenant accounts.
Property Tax Lien
Once a year, the District may send delinquent balances to the county
to be placed on annual property tax roll. Staff looks at all past
due balances of closed, locked, and sewer only owner accounts as of
May 31st. A letter is sent to property owners in June giving them 30
days to pay these outstanding balances. If payment is not received
by mid-July, the balances are sent to the county to be collected with
the upcoming property taxes. Due to COVID-19, the District opted not
to send these charges to the county for the 2020-2021 tax year. The
District will be looking to revise the current criteria for the 2021-
2022 tax year and may choose to send active account delinquent
balances to the county at that time. This practice is a highly
effective way to collect delinquent balances.
Collections Agency
Currently, when an account has an outstanding balance, been closed
for 60 days, and the property is not owned by the account holder, the
account is sent to an outside collection agency. The District’s
collection rate once these balances are sent to collections is
currently 20%. If the balance remains outstanding after another 60
days, it is then written off.
Payment Arrangements
Customer Service staff is available to coordinate payment
arrangements on delinquent balances. At this time, only a few
customers have requested arrangements, but staff anticipates these
requests will become more common when the ability to disconnect
resumes. State guidelines and the District’s Code of Ordinances
allows the District to amortize the delinquent balance up to 12
months (at the District’s discretion), provided current bills
continue to be paid on-time.
Neighboring Agencies
Staff speaks regularly with other county water agencies to discuss
their response to growing customer delinquencies. Most agencies are
taking the same actions the District has with regards to customer
outreach and collection efforts. At this time, a couple of agencies
have incorporated the use of flow restrictors on their severely
delinquent customers. In surveying other local Districts and meter
professionals throughout the state, most are not open to this option
at this time because it reduces the customer’s access to water during
the public health crisis.
State Updates
In addition to District staff monitoring delinquencies closely and
continuously thinking of ways to mitigate the risk these balances
carry, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) is also
looking at this issue closely. The SWRCB and the Public Utility
Commission held a joint workshop in late October to obtain input from
agencies on the possible financial implications for water entities
due to customer delinquency as well as input from community
organizations on the needs of the low-income population. At that
meeting, SWRCB stated they would be looking into the long-term
impacts for both water agencies and customers. The District recently
participated in a customer delinquency survey in which total
residential delinquency data as of October 30, 2020 was reported to
SWRCB by customer zip code.
Potential Future Actions
Staff will continue to observe any guidance or legislation that may
come from the state or federal government on this subject. Staff is
currently examining three (3) mechanisms that could be implemented
individually or in combination to alleviate the risk associated with
growing customer delinquencies. Staff may be returning to the Board
in March or April with recommendations regarding the following items:
Property Liens on Landlords for Tenant Debt
As stated above, staff is evaluating the option to initiate the lien
process on a landlord’s property with delinquent tenant debt. Staff
is currently working through the various challenges of making this
procedural change including looking at the impact to current
landlords, the changes required within the District’s Code of
Ordinances, and the outreach needed to ensure property owners are
aware of their responsibility when a tenant signs into a new account.
With rising tenant debt due to the moratorium on disconnections, the
ability to lien the property adds additional security to the
collecting of this debt should a delinquent tenant move out.
Reinstating Penalties
The District has lost over $500,000 in revenue since late fees were
put on hold in mid-March. Staff is currently evaluating reinstating
penalties in the coming months. Charging a penalty motivates
customers to make payments in a timelier manner. In the winter
months, the District typically collects $50,000 per month in penalty
charges.
Additional Outreach to Customers
Staff is discussing several other additional methods to reach out to
our delinquent customers and improve the probability of collecting on
delinquent accounts. Future options may entail: leaving physical
notices at the property, making phone calls to both owners and
tenants, and/or additional postcard mailers, texts, and email
messages.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The District increased its write-off budget from $109,000 to $485,000
in FY 2021 due to the expected financial implications of COVID-19 and
inability to disconnect water service for delinquent water bills.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT/PROJECT:Report on Customer Delinquencies
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance and Administration Committee (Committee) reviewed this
item at a meeting held on December 1, 2020 and the following comments
were made:
•Staff presented information from the staff report regarding the
current state of customer delinquencies and the efforts staff is
making to encourage customers to pay their water bills during the
pandemic.
•Staff is interested in the Committee’s input on reinstating
penalties and placing a lien on owner’s properties for delinquent
tenant accounts, and if they felt it would be an appropriate next
step.
•In response to an inquiry from the Committee, staff indicated
that approximately $500,000 are delinquencies that are over 60-
days past due (these would be considered lockable accounts pre-
COVID). The District also tracks balances that are over 46-days
past due and if those balances are added to the over 60-days past
due balance of $500,000, the total current delinquency balance is
approximately $900,000. It was noted that many of the customers
that are over 46-days past due, do pay before the 60-day past due
timeframe.
•Staff indicated that the District’s actions are in-line with
other County water agencies. Some water agencies have not used
the lien process and are considering doing so. It was discussed
that information is regularly discussed through a Customer
Service Group (includes representatives from San Diego County
water agencies) of actions and efforts the agencies are taking to
address delinquencies so the agencies are in-line with one
another.
•The Committee indicated that from a ratepayer perspective,
customers would not want to cover the cost of other properties’
water usage and they (the Committee) would be supportive of a
lien policy on properties with delinquent tenant accounts. The
Committee inquired if the District has established that this
would be legal. Staff indicated that they have discussed this
issue with the District’s General Counsel, and General Counsel
has confirmed that such a policy would be legal. It was further
indicated that other water agencies have already implemented a
policy to lien tenant properties.
•There was discussion that the process to lien tenant occupied
properties would need to be added to the District’s Code of
Ordinances (Code). The District’s Code currently includes the
process for placing liens and tax liens on properties that are
owner occupied. The Committee requested that the staff’s
internal procedures include notification to the property owners
if a lien is being considered for their tenant’s delinquent water
bill and notification to the tenant that the owner of the
property will be advised if they become delinquent on their water
bill.
•General Counsel noted that any lien the District places on a
property is a “junior lien” and does not have the same force as a
bank lien. If the property were foreclosed upon or short sold,
the District would likely not collect on its lien.
Upon completion of the discussion, the Committee supported
presentation to the full board as an informational item.

•District’s Response to COVID-19 Pandemic – As a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic emergency declarations and the social distancing
orders have resulted in a portion of the District’s staff
telecommuting, the District has had no impacts to its water supply
and has maintained a continuity of operations and services during
the challenging and dynamic environment. Staff continues to
monitor and provide updates as needed relating to responding to
this pandemic, including but not limited to: water and wastewater
services, supplies, operations, finances, and communication.
The District is continuing to hold Board of Directors meetings via
teleconference services which provides public access to the
meetings.
The District remains committed to the safety of the public and its
employees who continue to provide the public with essential
services. A Safe Reopening Plan and a Social Distancing and
Sanitation Protocol have been developed and are updated in
accordance with county health guidelines. Staff will continue to
monitor and comply with all Federal, State and Local orders and
guidelines that apply or affect the District.
•Potable Water Purchases – The October potable water purchases were
2,428 acre-feet which is 13% above the budget of 2,143 acre-feet.
The FY 2021 potable water sales budget was cut by 12% from the
projected FY 2021 actuals as a response to COVID-19 and the
expected economic impacts.
AGENDA ITEM 13

•Recycled Water Purchases – The October recycled water purchases
from the City of San Diego and production at the District’s
treatment facility were 430 acre-feet which is 31% above the budget
of 327 acre-feet.
•Potable Water Purchases – The November potable water purchases were
2,043 acre-feet which is 13% above the budget of 1,810 acre-feet.
The cumulative purchases through November were 14,100 acre-feet
which is 14% above the cumulative budget of 12,391 acre-feet. The
FY 2021 potable water sales budget was cut by 12% from the
projected FY 2021 actuals as a response to COVID-19 and the
expected economic impacts. It is too early to say if the expected
reductions will or will not happen the rest of the year.
•Recycled Water Purchases – The November recycled water purchases
from the City of San Diego and production at the District’s
treatment facility were 263 acre-feet which is 54% above the budget
of 171 acre-feet. The cumulative production and purchases through
November were 2,275 acre-feet which is 20% above the cumulative
budget of 1,898 acre-feet. The surplus volume is most likely due
to November rainfall being 42% below the three-year average
rainfall. Year-to-date rainfall is 48% below the three-year
average rainfall. It is too early to say if the expected
reductions will or will not happen the rest of the year.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES:
GIS:
•New GIS Dashboard Design and Development - With District-wide end-
user input, staff continues the development and functional
programming of the District’s new operational Dashboard and the
Graphical User Interface (GUI). Staff’s work includes server
configuration, program development, data and symbology
standardization, functionality design, and testing. A group of end-
users will be involved in the final testing. The application is
expected to be in production at the beginning of January in 2021.
Human Resources:
•Holiday Festivities – In lieu of the annual in-person holiday
party, the District’s Activities Committee hosted “December Cheer”.
Raffles were held throughout the month to provide thanks and
recognition for employees’ hard work and dedication during the
year.
•Supervisors Academy - The Centre for Organization Effectiveness
recently offered the Supervisor Academy in a virtual format. Ten
District employees attended. Key managers and leaders attended the
3
graduation during the month of December to show support for the
employees attending the programs.
•COVID—19 Laws and Regulations – Staff continues to stay abreast of
legal updates to ensure policies and procedures are kept up-to-date
and relevant updates are communicated internally.
•Recruitments/Promotions:
o The District is recruiting for HR Assistant I/II, Utility Worker
I/II, Water Systems Operator I/II/III, Construction Inspector
I/II, and Recycled Water Specialist.
o Internal applicants were selected for the positions of Lead
Water Systems Operator and Senior Utility Worker/Equipment
Operator.
IT Operations:
•Email Retention Policy - Consistent with the District’s Strategic
Plan of updating policies, effective January 1st, 2021, staff will
revise the current email retention policy from 120 days to 12
months. Staff will send out a District-wide notification to all
staff advising of the new change with instructions and other
relative information within the next few weeks. Also, staff is
working on updating the District's record retention schedule to
reflect the changes.
•Eden Upgrade - Staff completed a functional upgrade of the
District’s financial and budgeting system, Tyler Eden. The update
provides minor enhancements and necessary patches associated with
various Eden financial modules, including General Ledger, Accounts
Payable, and the Utility Billing (UB) module.
•Solarwinds Event - With the recent news of the Solarwinds software
exploit, staff has been monitoring and reviewing the District’s own
Solarwinds solution to ensure that all recommended mitigation
actions are in place. Solarwinds is a system event and network
management software that is used by both private companies and
public agencies. As a standard practice, staff regularly monitors
several cyber security resources including the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency’s site (CISA), Multi-State
Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), and other public
agencies for up-to-date status and advisories. Staff also recently
sat on a conference call with Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Agency (CISA). Many agencies were on the call, including San Diego
County Water Authority, Helix Water District, and others throughout
4
the state. CISA gave an update on steps of how to protect an
organization’s network infrastructure from the potential exploit.
The District’s IT team has completed all the recommended review and
preventive measures to protect itself from this exploit. Lastly,
the District’s network was not compromised by the recent Solarwinds
exploit.
Purchasing & Facilities:
•Industrial Tools, Equipment, & Vehicle Surplus Auction - Cal
Auctions, located at 4514 Federal Blvd, San Diego, conducted a
surplus auction on behalf of the District. Two vehicles were
auctioned, a 2001 Ford 550, and a 1992 Ford F800 flat bed with a
chassis mounted crane, which netted $9,697.50. Another 180
miscellaneous items were auctioned netting $2,996.62, for a total
return to the District of $12,694.12. The District uses age,
mileage, forecasted repairs, and ongoing operating cost criteria to
determine replacement and surplus action.
•Security and Access Contractor Market Survey - Pump Station,
Reservoir and Facility access control, intrusion detection,
monitoring and response services provided by Watchlight, Inc., the
District’s security contractor, are critical to protecting District
facilities, essential services, and staff. The costs to change
security providers are significant, ranging into the tens of
thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in staff time due to
technology and equipment change-overs, knowledge transfer, and
administrative oversight among other costs. Therefore, to ensure
the District continues to receive best value from its current
provider, purchasing staff conduct labor and material market
surveys from time-to-time, including the most recent October 2020
survey utilizing the National Association of State Procurement
Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint* Master Security & Fire Protection
Services Agreements (2017-2022), from which the District is
eligible to direct contract. NASPO ValuePoint and the State of
Nevada, as the lead agency along with the assistance of procurement
officials in the States of Washington, Florida, South Carolina, and
Oklahoma, issued a nationwide RFP for Security & Fire Protection
Services in March 2017. Thirty-nine companies submitted proposals;
each submission was evaluated by a five-person committee on nine
categories among them: Access Control, Burglar Alarms, Surveillance
Services and Equipment, Fire Alarm/Protective Signaling Systems,
Inspections and Monitoring. Sixteen companies were issued
agreements, two of which operate in San Diego County: Stanley
5
Security and Tyco SimplexGrinnell. On the categories most relevant
to the District, Watchlight beats both companies ranging from 9% on
maintenance, 14% on installation, to 50% on material markup, and
38% on basic monitoring.
For more than five years, Watchlight has consistently and reliably
provided value to the District in the form of innovative solutions,
quality installations, timely maintenance, consistent pricing, and
responsive monitoring through its Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
certified monitoring center. Staff anticipates utilizing Watchlight
monitoring, maintenance, and installation services on continuing
one-year review periods for an additional five years.
*NASPO ValuePoint is a “cooperative purchasing program facilitating
public procurement solicitations and agreements using a lead-state
model”.

experienced power shutoffs during that night through the following
morning in some areas of Rancho San Diego, Jamul, and Otay
Mesa. The only site in Rancho San Diego not affected was the 832-1
Pump Station. Cottonwood Lift Station was also affected and was the
only sewer site affected at this time. All sites were functional
and small generators were deployed as needed to provide signals
from reservoir sites. Staff monitored the situation along with fuel
levels. Any generators that were on site and not needed were shut
off to conserve fuel and reduce refueling needs. All systems in the
distribution system continued to function as designed. Staff
monitored this PSPS event on the District’s GIS system for live
updates. There was also a brushfire near Willow Glen and Steele
Canyon area named the Willow Fire in Rancho San Diego, it grew up
to about 30 acres, one house burned, and six houses were damaged.
The fire also did some damage to the access at the District’s Hydro
Station (FOB reader and wiring) and surrounding trees burned. The
building is concrete, so no structural damage was present. The
hydro-station continued to be functional with no damage inside the
station.
SDG&E indicated that they noticed winds at record or above record
speeds in the back-country areas of San Diego and those high winds
were leaving residual high winds in the District’s service area and
areas in North County. At one of SDG&E’s remote weather stations,
they recorded wind speeds of 94 mph, which is the fourth highest
wind speed ever recorded at that site. Additionally, approximately
35 of their 200 some weather stations have recorded wind speeds at
or above their historical records, making this the most extreme
wind event they have on record.
•The Rancho Jamul Hydro Tank CIP project will replace pressure
vessels, including six surge tanks and five Hydro-pneumatic tanks,
at existing potable water pump stations, as needed, since some of
them are at the end of useful life. Staff is currently working on
Rancho Jamul Hydro Station. Utility Maintenance poured the
foundation pad and completed the retaining wall with block. The
surge tank is expected by end of December 2020. Once received,
staff will start making the necessary connections/tie-ins. This is
a project is being performed by District staff.
•Staff is meeting with contractors for the Olympic Parkway paving
work with a mandatory pre-bid walk-through on Thursday, December
17th. Advertisement for this bid started on Friday, December 11th
through Tuesday, December 22nd. The bid amount is expected to be
over $75,000.00 since there will be 26 feet of curb and gutter
replacement and approximately 17,460 (420 feet X 42 feet) square
feet of two-inch grind and pavement. Final asphalt to be half-inch

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW
October 31, 2020
INVESTMENT OVERVIEW & MARKET STATUS:
At the Federal Reserve Board’s regular scheduled meeting on March 15, 2020, the Committee lowered the target range for the federal funds
rate from 1.50-1.750% to 0-0.25% in light of the effects of the coronavirus which harmed communities and disrupted economic activity in
many countries, including the United States. There have been no further changes made to the federal funds rate at the most recent meeting
which was held on November 05, 2020. The Committee anticipates maintaining the target range of 0-0.25% until labor market conditions
have reached levels consistent with the Committee’s assessment of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. The Committee will
continue to oversee the effects of incoming information for the economic outlook. In determining the timing and size of future adjustments
to the target range for the federal funds rate, they went on to say: “the Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy
as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals. The Committee’s assessments will take into
account a wide range of information, including readings on public health, labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation
expectations, and financial and international developments.”
The District’s effective rate of return for the month of October 2020 was .81%, which was one basis points lower than the previous month.
LAIF return on deposits was seven basis points lower than the previous month, reaching an average effective yield of .62% for the month of
October 2020. Based on our success at maintaining a competitive rate of return on our portfolio during this extended period of low interest
rates, no changes in investment strategy regarding returns on investment are being considered at this time.
In accordance with the District’s Investment Policy, all District funds continue to be managed based on the objectives, in priority order, of
safety, liquidity, and return on investment.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW
November 30, 2020
INVESTMENT OVERVIEW & MARKET STATUS:
At the Federal Reserve Board’s regular scheduled meeting on March 15, 2020, the Committee lowered the target range for the federal funds
rate from 1.50-1.750% to 0-0.25% in light of the effects of the coronavirus which harmed communities and disrupted economic activity in
many countries, including the United States. There have been no further changes made to the federal funds rate at the most recent meeting
which was held on December 16, 2020. The Committee anticipates maintaining the target range of 0-0.25% until labor market conditions
have reached levels consistent with the Committee’s assessment of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track
to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time. The Committee will continue to observe the effects of incoming information for the economic
outlook. In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, they went on to say: “the
Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the
Committee’s goals. The Committee’s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on public health,
labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.”
The District’s effective rate of return for the month of November 2020 was .87%, which was six basis points higher than the previous month.
LAIF return on deposits was four basis points lower than the previous month, reaching an average effective yield of .58% for the month of
November 2020. Based on our success at maintaining a competitive rate of return on our portfolio during this extended period of low interest
rates, no changes in investment strategy regarding returns on investment are being considered at this time.
In accordance with the District’s Investment Policy, all District funds continue to be managed based on the objectives, in priority order, of
safety, liquidity, and return on investment.

OF THE OTAY WATER DISTRICT TO
RATIFY THE GENERAL MANAGER’S EMERGENCY DECLARATION
AND CONTINUE THE EMERGENCY ACTION
WHEREAS, on January 3, 2021 at approximately 10:00 p.m. there was an extensive main
break on the District’s 16-inch potable water line located on Paseo Ladera between Telegraph
Canyon Road and Givens Street in the District’s Division 4; and
WHEREAS, District staff are continuing to perform cleanup and stabilizing the damaged
area; and
WHEREAS, the main break caused extensive damage to the road and is threatening an
important source of water for nearby Sharp Hospital in Chula Vista, and therefore immediate
action is required; and
WHEREAS, all District customers have continued to receive service, but the redundancy
to the area has been impacted, and this together with the extent of damage is causing a risk of
impacting the essential public services in that area; and
WHEREAS, the District Code of Ordinances Article I, Chapter 2, Section 2, Paragraph I
defines an emergency as a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger,
requiring immediate action to prevent and mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property,
or essential public services; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the District Code of Ordinances Article I, Chapter 2,
Section 2, Paragraph I, on January 4, 2021, General Manager Jose Martinez declared an emergency
in order to expedite repairs with the use of outside services, and to prevent and mitigate the loss or
impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services, and reported the emergency action
to the Board; and
WHEREAS, the repairs to the main break are estimated to exceed Five Hundred Thousand
($500,000.00) Dollars, and the District is initiating a claim with its insurance provider; and
Page 2
WHEREAS, under Government Code section 54954.2 subd. (b), the Board can, in an
emergency situation, deliberate and take action on an item that was not on an agenda if it
determines by two thirds majority that there exists an immediate need to take action and the need
to take action was not known when the agenda was posted; and
WHEREAS, the District’s Code of Ordinances Article I, Chapter 2, Section 2, Paragraph I
and the California Public Contract Code Section 22050 require the Board to review the emergency
action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and determine by a four-fifths vote that there is a
need to continue the action; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Otay Water
District that: the above stated recitals are incorporated herein by reference; and
IT IS RESOLVED FURTHER that that the circumstances described in the Resolution
herein constitute an emergency situation for purposes of, but not limited, to the District’s Code of
Ordinances and Government Code Section 54956.5; and
IT IS RESOLVED FURTHER that there exists an immediate need to take action and the
need to take action was not known when the agenda was posted; and
IT IS RESOLVED FURTHER that immediate emergency action is necessary to repair
and/or replace the District’s 16 inch potable water line located on Paseo Ladera between Telegraph
Canyon Road and Givens Street in the District’s Division 4, and it will not permit delay resulting
from a competitive solicitation for bids; and
IT IS RESOLVED FURTHER that the General Manager’s declaration of an emergency is
hereby ratified; and
IT IS RESOLVED FURTHER at this time, there is a need to continue the emergency
action; and
FINALLY, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the provisions in the District’s Code of
Ordinances for a declared emergency, the General Manager shall have the authority to order action
necessary to respond to the declared emergency.
