SUBJECT: Award of As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services Contracts
for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
award two (2) professional As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services
contracts and to authorize the General Manager to execute two (2)
agreements with RFYeager Engineering, LLC (RFYeager) and Corrpro
Companies, Inc., an Aegion Company (Corrpro), each in an amount not-
to-exceed $577,276 for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (ending June 30,
2019).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to enter into
two (2) professional As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services
contracts with RFYeager and Corrpro, each in an amount not-to-exceed
$577,276 for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (ending June 30, 2019).

ANALYSIS:
The District’s Cathodic Protection Program (Program) was implemented
over a decade ago to provide the long-term benefit of preserving the
life expectancy of metallic pipeline and reservoir facilities by
preventing corrosion and reducing the risk of costly failures. The
Program includes the selection of appropriate corrosion resistant
materials, the use of coatings and linings to prevent corrosion, and
cathodic protection. The Program also ensures that all facilities
are consistently designed, specified, constructed, and tested in
accordance with the District’s corrosion control standards.
The District has regularly awarded professional services contracts in
support of the District’s Program. HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) has
held the current agreement since November 20, 2013. To supplement
HDR’s agreement, a smaller, separate agreement was executed with
RFYeager for As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services on February 9,
2015. Both HDR’s and RFYeager’s existing agreements will expire on
December 31, 2017.
The general scope of work for the new contract includes the following
items:
Annual Maintenance and improvements to the District’s Corrosion
Control Program Corrosion Protection Report
Testing and survey of 105 existing steel pipeline cathodic
protection systems with various subsystems
Testing and inspection of 29 existing steel reservoir cathodic
protection systems
As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services
The As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services portion of the scope of
work will provide the District with the ability to obtain consulting
services in a timely and efficient manner and on an as-needed basis.
District staff will identify tasks and request cost proposals from
the two consultants during the contract period. Each consultant will
prepare a detailed scope of work, schedule, and fee for each task
order, with the District evaluating the proposals based upon
qualifications and cost. The District will enter into negotiations
with the consultants, selecting the proposal that has the best value
for the District. Upon written task order authorization from the
District, the selected consultant shall then proceed with the project
as described in the scope of work.

The anticipated CIP and developer projects that are estimated to
require corrosion engineering services for the duration of this
contract are listed below:
CIP DESCRIPTION
ESTIMATED
COST
P2508 Pipeline Cathodic Protection Replacement

P2040 1655-1 Reservoir – 0.5MG $15,000
P2083 870-2 Pump Station Replacement and Expansion $10,000
P2174 1090-1 Pump Station Replacement and Expansion $10,000
P2400 Otay Lakes Rd 20-Inch Pipeline Replacement $10,000
P2405 624/340 PRS at Heritage Road and Main Street $5,000
P2553 Heritage Road Bridge 16-Inch Pipeline

P2559 Pressure Vessel Repair and Replacement
Program $10,000
R2116 14-Inch, 927 Zone, Force Main Improvements $5,000
varies Miscellaneous developer projects $50,000
TOTAL: $375,000
Staff believes that a $400,000 cap on each of the As-Needed Corrosion
Engineering Services portion of the contracts is adequate, while
still providing a buffer.
The As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services portion of the contracts
does not commit the District to any expenditure until a task order is
approved to perform the work. The District does not guarantee as-
needed work to the consultants, nor does the District guarantee to
the consultants that it will expend all of the funds authorized by
the contract on professional services.
The District solicited corrosion engineering services by placing an
advertisement on the Otay Water District’s website and with various
other publications including the Daily Transcript and www.bidsync.com
on January 30, 2017. The advertisements attracted Letters of
Interest and Statements of Qualifications from the following eight
(8) consulting firms. Twelve (12) people representing seven (7)
consulting firms attended the Pre-Proposal Meeting held February 22,
2017. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for As-Needed Corrosion
Engineering Services was sent to all eight (8) firms resulting in six
(6) proposals received by March 2, 2016.
4
1. Cathodic Dynamics (Mira Loma, CA)
2. Corrpro (San Diego, CA)
3. HDR (Claremont, CA)
4. JDH Corrosion Consultants, Inc. (Concord, CA)
5. Penspen (Houston, TX)
6. RFYeager Engineering (Lakeside, CA)
7. UCORR (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
8. V&A (San Diego, CA)
Firms that submitted Letters of Interest, but did not propose, were
Cathodic Dynamics and V&A.
In accordance with the District’s Policy 21, staff evaluated and
scored all written proposals and interviewed the top five (5) firms
on April 20, 2017. RFYeager and Corrpro received the highest scores
based on their experience, understanding of the scope of work,
proposed method to accomplish the work, and their composite rates.
RFYeager and Corrpro were the most qualified consultants with the
best overall proposal. As discussed above, RFYeager currently holds
a similar as-needed corrosion engineering agreement with the District
and has performed well. Corrpro currently holds an as-needed coating
inspection services contract with the District. A summary of the
complete evaluation is shown in Attachment B.
RFYeager and Corrpro submitted the Company Background Questionnaire
form, 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 each company and did not find any outstanding
issues. Staff found the references to be excellent.
The annual work (annual testing and reporting) would be assigned to
RFYeager with Corrpro serving as back up for the annual work.
RFYeager received the highest scores throughout the selection
process. RFYeager’s proposed fee for the annual work ($177,276) was
lower compared to Corrpro’s proposed fee for the annual work
($220,522). The agreement amount of $577,276 was calculated based on
RFYeager’s proposed fee for the annual work ($177,276) plus $400,000
as-needed budget.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
These contracts are for professional services based on the District’s
need and schedule, and expenditures will not be made until individual
main tasks or task orders under the as-needed portion of these
contracts are authorized by District staff.
5
Approximately $177,276 will be funded by the P1043 operating budget
over FY 2018 and FY 2019. The FY 2018 operating budget is $110,000.
The remaining $400,000 as-needed budget will be funded by specific
CIP and developer budgets detailed above.
The Project Manager anticipates that the FY 2018 and FY 2019 budgets,
if approved, will be sufficient to support the future professional
As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services required.
Finance has determined that, with approval of the future budgets,
funding will be available from the General, Expansion, Betterment,
and Replacement funds, as outlined in the individual CIP project
budgets described above.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To provide
high value water and wastewater services to the customers of the Otay
Water District, in a professional, effective and efficient manner”
and the General Manager’s Vision, "A District that is at the
forefront in innovations to provide water services at affordable
rates, with a reputation for outstanding customer service."
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

Award of As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services Contracts
for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019
COMMITTEE ACTION:
This item was presented to the Engineering, Operations, and Water
Resources Committee at a meeting held on May 23, 2017. The following
comments were made:
Staff is requesting that the Board approve two (2) professional
service agreements, one with RFYeager and the other with
Corrpro, for Corrosion Engineering Services, in an amount not to
exceed $577,276 for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (ending June 30,
2019).
Staff presented information in the staff report.
It was indicated that HDR holds the current agreement which
includes regular testing of pipelines and reservoirs and as-
needed corrosion engineering services. RFYeager also holds a
smaller agreement for As-Needed Corrosion Engineering Services
only. Both HDR’s and Yeager’s existing agreements will expire
at the end of this calendar year.
HDR’s agreement is complicated in that different components of
the agreement are billed to different areas of the budget.
There are generally two main components: 1) testing of pipelines
and reservoirs and preparation of an annual report that is
expensed to the District’s operating budget; and 2) the as-
needed portion of the scope, which is expensed to the CIP or the
developer projects.
For the first component, the FY2018 operating budget includes
$110,000 for this agreement.
For the second component, a list of the possible CIP or
developer projects, with a total $400,000 as-needed budget, is
included on page three (3) of the staff report.
In response to an inquiry from the Committee, staff clarified
that the total between the two (2) contractors (together) will
not exceed $577,276.
Staff indicated in response to another inquiry from the
Committee that the District’s pipelines and reservoirs are
tested regularly and a report on the findings of the testing is
provided to staff. The annual report indicates a list of
improvements that the District needs to make. Such deficiencies
could include depleted anodes, a lost test station, etc. The
testing and report are paid through the operating budget and any
repairs are paid through the CIP.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board on the consent
calendar.

SUBJECT: Award of As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services Contracts for
Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
award two (2) professional As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services
contracts and to authorize the General Manager to execute two (2)
agreements with Water Systems Consulting Inc. (WSC) and Hazen and
Sawyer (Hazen), each in an amount not-to-exceed $175,000 for Fiscal
Years 2018 and 2019 (ending June 30, 2019).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to enter into
two (2) professional As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services contracts
with WSC and Hazen, each in an amount not-to-exceed $175,000 for
Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019 (ending June 30, 2019).
2
ANALYSIS:
The District will require the professional services of two (2)
hydraulic modeling consultants on an as-needed basis in support of
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, developer funded
studies, engineering planning studies, and Information Technology
studies for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019. These services will also be
used to integrate GIS updates into the existing model and support
Operations in the field. The As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services
contracts will provide the District with the ability to obtain
consulting services in a timely and efficient manner and on an as-
needed basis.
The District will require the expertise of hydraulic modeling
consultants to maintain the current potable water, recycled water,
and sanitary sewer hydraulic models already developed and updated
under the Water Resources Master Plan. This will include
integrating new facilities or GIS updates into the model and
performing planning studies for the Engineering, Operations, and
Information Technology departments. The consultants will perform
fire flow calculations in support of new or existing developments
and prepare developer funded studies.
It is more efficient and cost effective to issue contracts on an as-
needed basis. This concept has also been used in the past for other
disciplines like civil engineering design, geotechnical, electrical,
and environmental services.
The District staff will identify tasks for specific projects and
request cost proposals from the two (2) consultants during the
contract period. Each consultant will prepare a detailed scope of
work, schedule, and fee for each task order, with the District
evaluating the proposals based upon qualifications and cost. The
District will enter into negotiations with the consultants,
selecting the proposal that has the best value for the District.
Upon written task order authorization from the District, the
selected consultant shall then proceed with the project as described
in the scope of work.
The CIP projects that are estimated to require hydraulic modeling
services for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019, at this time, are listed
below:
CIP DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED COST
P2451 Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System $20,000
P2612 PL – 12-inch, 711 Zone, Pas de Luz/Telegraph
Canyon Rd $10,000
P2613 PL – 12-inch, 520 Zone, Rancho San Diego
Towne Center Loop $10,000
3
P2615 PL - 12-inch Pipeline Replacement, 803 PZ,
Vista Grande $10,000
P2616 PL - 12-inch Pipeline Replacement, 978 PZ,
Pence Dr/Vista Sierra Dr $10,000
R2110 RecPS – 944-1 Optimization and Pressure Zone
Modifications $10,000
R2123 Repurpose Otay Mesa Recycled Water Lines $20,000
S2049 Calavo Basin Sewer Rehabilitation – Phase 2 $10,000
TOTAL: $100,000
The hydraulic modeling services scopes for the above projects are
estimated from preliminary information and past projects.
Therefore, staff believes that a $175,000 cap on each of the As-
Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services contracts is adequate, while
still providing a buffer. Fees for professional services will be
charged to the CIP projects or to the Fiscal Year Operations budget.
The As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services contracts do not commit
the District to any expenditure until a task order is approved to
perform work. The District does not guarantee work to the
consultants, nor does the District guarantee to the consultants that
it will expend all of the funds authorized by the contract on
professional services.
The District solicited hydraulic modeling services by placing an
advertisement on Bidsync website on March 3, 2017 and with various
other publications including the Daily Transcript. Six (6) firms
submitted a letter of interest and a statement of qualifications.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) for Hydraulic Modeling Services was
sent to all six (6) firms resulting in six (6) proposals received by
April 13, 2017. They are as follows:
Akel (Fresno, CA)
Arcadis (Irvine, CA)
Hazen & Sawyer (San Diego, CA)
NCS Engineers (Phoenix, AZ)
West Yost Associates (Carlsbad, CA)
Water Consulting Company (San Diego, CA)
In accordance with the District’s Policy 21, staff evaluated and
scored all written proposals. WSC and Hazen received the highest
scores based on their experience in hydraulic modeling,
understanding of the scope of work, proposed method to accomplish
the work, and their composite weighted hourly rate. WSC and Hazen
were the most qualified consultants with the best overall proposals.
WSC currently holds the District’s as-needed hydraulic modeling
contract and has performed very well. The District has not
previously worked with Hazen on any project, but they are a highly
4
rated company that provides similar services to other water agencies
in California. Both consultants are readily available to provide
the services required. A summary of the complete evaluation is
shown in Attachment B.
WSC and Hazen 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 companies. 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 these contracts will be expended from a variety of
projects, as previously noted above, and from the operating budget.
The fees for professional services requested herein will be
available in the authorized CIP project budgets and operating
budgets. The FY 2018 Hydraulic Modeling budget for P1210 includes
$35,000. The FY 2019 Hydraulic Modeling budget for P1210 has not
been determined at this time. The contracts are 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 total amount of tasks under the two contracts will not exceed
$175,000 for FY 2018 and FY 2019.
The Project Manager anticipates that the FY 2018 and FY 2019
budgets, if approved, will be sufficient to support the professional
As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services required for the CIP projects
noted above.
Finance has determined that, with approval of the future CIP and
operating budgets, funding will be available as outlined in the
individual CIP Project budgets described above.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To provide
high value water and wastewater services to the customers of the
Otay Water District in a professional, effective, and efficient
manner” and the District’s Vision, “A District that is at the
forefront in innovations to provide water services at affordable

Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) and Hazen and Sawyer (Hazen), in
an amount not-to-exceed $175,000 for Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019
(ending June 30, 2019).
Staff presented information in the staff report.
Staff noted that $35,000 of the hydraulic modeling services is
allocated in the FY 2018 operating budget, $100,000 is allocated
to CIP projects and the remaining $40,000 is available for
allocation in the FY 2019 operating budget.
Staff explained that the contractors proposed fee was evaluated
by comparing billing rates for five (5) positions, where each
position was provided a weight of between 5% and 40% and the sum
of these weighted rates were then input into a scoring table
which appears in Attachment B of this staff report.
It was indicated that the District has not previously worked with
Hazen on any project in the past. However, Hazen’s project
manager worked on the District’s 2015 Water Facilities Master
Plan while employed at another firm. Staff stated that Hazen is
a highly rated company that has provided similar services to
other local water agencies.
Staff also indicated that WSC has provided services for the
District in the past, including the current as-needed hydraulic
modeling engineering services contract for FYs 2015 and 2016.
In response to an inquiry from the Committee, staff clarified
that the total between the two (2) contractors (together) will
not exceed $175,000.
It was discussed that if the District should need to exceed the
$175,000 that is requested in this report for hydraulic modeling
services, if the amount needed is within the General Manager’s
signing authority ($75,000), it will be authorized by the General
Manager. If it is beyond the General Manager’s signing
authority, it will brought back for the board’s authorization.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board on the consent
calendar.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 4334 to Continue Water and Sewer
Availability Charges for District Customers for Fiscal Year
2017-2018 to be Collected through Property Tax Bills
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt Resolution No. 4334 to continue water and sewer
availability charges for District customers for fiscal year 2017-2018
to be collected through property tax bills.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
That the Board consider the adoption of Resolution No. 4334 to
continue water and sewer availability charges for District customers
for fiscal year 2017-2018 to be collected through property tax bills.
ANALYSIS:
The District levies availability charges each year on property in
both developed and undeveloped areas. State Water Code Section
71630-71637 authorizes the District to access such availability
2
charges. In order to place these charges on the tax roll, the County
of San Diego requires the District to provide a resolution
authorizing the charges. Each year, the District provides a
resolution along with the listing of charges by parcel. Current
legislation provides that any amount up to $10 per parcel (one acre
or less) is for general use and any amount over $10 per parcel ($30
per acre for parcels over one acre) is restricted, to be expended in
and for that Improvement District. The District uses amounts over
$10 per parcel to develop water and sewer systems within the
Improvement Districts where the funds are collected. In accordance
with legislation, the District places amounts up to $10 per parcel in
the General Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The availability charges, as budgeted, will generate approximately
$1.2 million in revenue.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This revenue source will help the District meet its fiscal
responsibility to its ratepayers.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

availability charges be fixed and established for Improvement
District No. 18 as provided under applicable provisions of law; and
WHEREAS, the District desires to continue the collection of
such water and sewer availability charges without increases or
revisions in methodology or application.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Otay Water

planned residential development.
3. DEFERRALS
(A) Deferral of Charge, Purpose Situations may arise when an
owner of a parcel of land does not use and has no present intention
of using water and/or sewer provided by the District on a parcel of
land, as defined in Section 4. The purpose of this section is to
permit an evaluation by the District, on a case-by-case basis, of
6
the circumstances which pertain to such situations to determine
whether a deferral of charges should be approved according to the
terms and conditions herein provided.
Any owner of a parcel of land who believes that the amount of
the water and/or sewer availability charges fixed against such
parcel should be deferred may file an application with the District
for deferral of the charge, as follows:
(a) Application The application shall include a
statement describing the circumstances and factual
elements which support the request for deferral.
(b) The General Manager shall consider the request
within sixty (60) days after the filing of a
completed application. If the application for
deferral meets the established criteria, the General
Manager may decide whether to approve the request
and order the charge deferred accordingly. If the
request is denied, the applicant shall be notified
in writing stating the reasons for the denial.
(B) Appeal to Board of Directors If the General Manager
denies a request, the owner may file an appeal with the Board of
Directors within sixty (60) days after such denial. No new
application for deferral need be considered by the General Manager
until expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of a denial,
unless differently directed by the Board of Directors.
(C) Deferred Charges on Restricted Parcels, Criteria The
levy of the charge may be deferred annually as to any parcel of
land which meets each of the following criteria:
7
(a) The owner of such parcel makes a timely application
requesting deferral of the charge.
(b) The parcel, which is the subject of the request,
will become subject to enforceable restrictions
which prohibits the connection to the District sewer
system or use of water on the parcel, except by
means of natural precipitation or runoff; provided,
however, if considered appropriate by the General
Manager, local water may be used for limited
domestic stock watering and irrigation uses.
(c) The owner executed a recordable agreement which
includes provisions that:
(1) set forth the enforceable restrictions
pertinent to the subject parcel;
(2) the agreement may be terminated upon written
request by the owner and payment of all
deferred water and/or sewer availability
charges, plus interest thereon, compounded
annually, and accruing at the legal rate from
the date such charges would have been otherwise
due and payable;
(3) no water and/or sewer service from the District
shall be provided to such parcel for a period
of ten (10) years after the total amount due
for the charges deferred, plus annually
compounded interest, is paid in full to the
District, unless a surcharge penalty as
8
described below is paid to the District prior
to connection of any water and/or sewer
service;
(4) if the surcharge is not paid, during the ten
(10) year period, while water and/or sewer
service is not available to the subject land,
the owner shall pay all annual water or
availability charges as fixed; and
(5) contains such other provisions considered by
the General Manager to be appropriate.
(D) Surcharge Upon termination of the deferral
agreement, an owner may elect to receive water and/or sewer
service prior to the expiration of the ten (10) year penalty
period upon payment of a surcharge. The surcharge shall be
equal to the amount of the annual water and/or sewer
availability charges fixed for the parcel(s) of land in the
year of election to receive water and/or sewer service
multiplied by the number of years remaining of the ten (10)
year penalty period. This surcharge shall also apply if a
property owner develops a parcel that is subject to a deferral
agreement without termination of said agreement.
(E) Enforcement Procedures In order to insure that
terms and conditions of the recordable agreement are being
met, the General Manager shall:
(1) Maintain a record of all parcels approved for
deferral of the water assessments or availability
charges.
9
(2) Report to the Board of Directors any instances where
the terms of the agreement are being violated.
(3) Take such other actions or procedures considered
appropriate.
4. DEFINITION OF PARCEL The term "parcel" as used herein shall
mean a parcel of land as shown on the assessment rolls of the
County Assessor of San Diego County as of March, 2017.
5. NOTICE AND REQUEST TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND AUDITOR As
provided in Sections 71634 to 71637, on or before the third Monday
in August, 2016, the Secretary of this District shall furnish, in
writing to the Board of Supervisors of San Diego County and to the
County Auditor, a description of the land within the District upon
which availability charges are to be levied and collected for
Fiscal Year 2017-2018 together with the amount of the assessments
or charges. At the time and in the manner required by law for the
levying of taxes for county purposes, the Board of Supervisors of
San Diego County shall levy, in addition to taxes it levies, water
and/or sewer availability charges in the amounts fixed by this
Resolution for the respective parcels of land described in Section
1 of this Resolution. All County officers charged with the duty of
collecting taxes shall collect the charges with the regular
property tax payments in the same form and manner as County taxes
are collected. Such availability charges are a lien on the property
with respect to which they are fixed. Collection of the charges
may be enforced by the same means as provided for the enforcement
of liens for state and county taxes.
10
6. CERTIFICATION TO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The District
certifies that this Resolution complies with the provisions of
Article XIIID of the California Constitution in that the
availability charges are existing charges first set by the Board of
Directors of the District prior to November 6, 1996. At the time
the availability charges were initially established, the District
followed the applicable provisions of law then in effect, and the
District has continued to comply with such provisions, including
any requirements for notices or hearings, as from time to time in
effect. Therefore, pursuant to Section 71632 and Section 71638 of
the California Water Code, as currently in effect, the District may
continue the availability charges in successive years at the same
rate. The District further certifies that the charge is not
increased hereby and the methodology for the rate is the same as in
previous years. The charge is imposed exclusively to finance the
capital costs, maintenance and operating expenses of the water or
sewer system of the District, as applicable.
7. CERTIFIED COPIES The Secretary of this District shall deliver
certified copies of this Resolution to the Board of Supervisors and
to the Auditor of San Diego County with the list of charges
described in Section 4 above.
8. CORRECTIONS; OTHER ACTIONS The General Manager of the
District is hereby authorized to correct any clerical error made in
any assessment or charge pursuant to this Resolution and to make an
appropriate adjustment in any assessment or charge made in error.
Furthermore, the General Manager and the Secretary of this District
are hereby directed to take any further actions and deliver such
11
documents and certificates as necessary to carry out the purpose of
this Resolution.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 4335 to Establish the Tax Rate for
Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) for Fiscal Year
2017-2018
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt Resolution No. 4335 to establish the tax rate
for Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) at $0.004 for Fiscal Year
2017-2018.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) has outstanding general
obligation bonds which mature in Fiscal Year 2023 and is the only
improvement district with general obligation debt service. As of
July 1, 2018, the outstanding debt will be $4.0 million with interest
rates from 3% to 4%. The bonds are non-callable.
At the beginning of each fiscal year staff must provide the County of
San Diego, Property Tax Services, with the tax rate to be charged
upon all property within ID 27 to ensure the amount of tax
2
collections will support the annual debt service requirement. Staff
recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 4335 to establish
the tax rate for ID 27 at $0.004 for Fiscal Year 2017-2018.
BACKGROUND:
In December 1992, the District sold $11,500,000 of general obligation
bonds in ID 27 for the construction of the 30mg reservoir. At the
time of the formation of ID 27, the District intended to have a
maximum tax rate of $0.10 per $100 of assessed valuation. The tax
rate has remained well below the intended maximum rate.
The District refinanced the bonds in fiscal year 1998 and again in
fiscal year 2010 which resulted in a reduction in the annual debt
schedule. Property valuations peaked in fiscal year 2008 at $12.5
billion, dropped below $10 billion in fiscal year 2011, and is now
valued at more than $11 billion. The combination of the reduced debt
service requirement and the increased assessed values resulted in the
District’s reserve levels exceeding the target.
From fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2015, the tax rate was $0.005
and the District has covered the tax collection shortfall from the ID
27 reserves.
From fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2017, the tax rate was $0.004
and the District continued to cover the tax collection shortfall from
the ID 27 reserves.
For Fiscal Year 2017-2018, staff proposes to maintain the tax rate at
$0.004 and continue to cover the tax collection shortfall from the ID
27 reserves. Staff projects that a $0.004 tax rate will wind down
reserve levels until the expiration of the debt. Upon expiration of
the debt the reserve will be fully depleted.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The tax proceeds are legally restricted for the sole purpose of the
repayment of this debt. These proceeds will be collected until the
debt obligation is fully paid, at which time the fund will have a
zero balance. The $0.004 tax rate is projected to generate $619,673
in revenue in fiscal year 2018. The projected revenue, given the
recommended tax rate combined with the current fund balance, will
meet the annual ID 27 debt service payment of $744,633.
3
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Through well-established financial policies and wise management of
funds, the District will continue to guarantee fiscal responsibility
to its ratepayers and the community at large.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT/PROJECT:
Adopt Resolution No. 4335 to Establish the Tax Rate for
Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) for Fiscal Year
2017-2018
COMMITTEE ACTION:
This item was presented to the Finance, Administration and
Communications Committee at a meeting held on May 17, 2017. The
following comments were made:
Staff is requesting that the Board adopt Resolution No. 4335 to
establish the tax rate for Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) at
$0.004 for Fiscal Year 2017-2018.
Staff presented the information in the staff report.
Staff noted that ID 27 is the last improvement district with
outstanding general obligation bonds and on July 1, 2018, the
outstanding bond debt will be $4 million with an interest rate of
4%. The bonds are non-callable and will mature in September
2022.
Staff is recommending that the tax rate for FY 2018 be maintained
at $0.004. The District will continue to draw down the excess
ID 27 reserves.
Staff projects that the ID 27 reserve levels will remain above
target through FY 2019 and will be drawn down to $0.00 when the
debt matures in FY 2022.
The Committee inquired what assumption was used for the estimated
increase in ID 27 property values that the $619,673 was based.
Staff indicated that they utilized 3%.
In response to another inquiry from the Committee, staff
indicated that the ID 27 reserve will go from $281,000 to
approximately $163,000.
The Committee also inquired if the County of San Diego charges
the District a fee for collecting and forwarding the collected
5
taxes to the District. The County of San Diego charges $0.10 per
parcel for special assessment and $0.15 per parcel for any
corrections. Annual fees of approximately $47,000 are deducted
by the County of San Diego prior to the funds being paid to the
District.
There was discussion that the funds in the ID 27 reserves can
only be used to pay the bond debt, so staff will draw it down as
close to $0.00 as possible and err on the negative side because
the monies are restricted. Staff will continue to monitor the
fund closely.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board on the consent
calendar.

SUBJECT: Approval of an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact
Report for the Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System
Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors
(Board) approves the addendum to the Final Environmental Impact
Report for the Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System
Project (Project) (see Exhibit A for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board approval of the addendum to the Final EIR for
the Project.
ANALYSIS:
The Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System Project
involves the design, construction, and operation of an
approximately four-mile-long, 48-54 inch diameter potable water
pipeline and a metering station within the Otay Mesa area of the
District. The Project may also include a disinfection facility
and/or pump station. The pipeline will begin at the U.S. -
2
Mexico border and end at the District’s Roll Reservoir on Otay
Mesa. It will be used to convey desalinated water produced at
the desalination plant that will be built in Rosarito, Baja
California, Mexico if the District is able to enter into an
agreement to purchase the water. The Project would increase the
District’s potable water supply flexibility and reliability.
A joint California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)/ National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Impact Report/
Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) document was prepared
for the Project for environmental compliance and as part of the
Presidential Permit (PP) process for the pipeline. The PP is
required since the pipeline will cross the U.S. – Mexico border.
The final EIR/EIS was certified by the Board of Directors on
September 7, 2016.
The environmental permitting for the Project includes
consultation with the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. As
part of this consultation, it was determined that the impact
footprints and habitat acreages for federally listed species
(Otay tarplant, Quino Checkerspot butterfly, San Diego fairy
shrimp, and coastal California gnatcatcher) are less than what
had been specified in the EIR/EIS. Because of these reductions,
an addendum to the EIR was prepared as specified in the CEQA
Guidelines, Section 15164 (b). The addendum does not need to be
circulated for public review, but the CEQA Guidelines require
that it be considered by the Board as part of the EIR. The
addendum is attached as Exhibit B. The addendum is prepared
under CEQA and applies to the Final EIR. The Final EIS is a
federal document, prepared consistent with NEPA for the State
Department and the PP process. The changes described in the
addendum will also be included as part of the administrative
record for the Final EIS and the PP process.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
No fiscal impact. See Attachment B, Budget Detail.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To
provide high value water and wastewater services to the
customers of the Otay Water District in a professional,
effective, and efficient manner” and the General Manager’s
Vision, “A District that is at the forefront in innovations to
provide water services at affordable rates, with a reputation
for outstanding customer service.”

COMMITTEE ACTION:
This item was presented to the Desalination Project Committee at
a meeting held on May 23, 2017. The following comments were
made:
Staff is requesting that the Board approve the addendum to
the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Otay Mesa
Conveyance and Disinfection System Project (Project).
Staff reviewed information in the staff report.
It was noted that the acreage in the EIR/EIS was reduced
specifically for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly.
Originally, it was thought that the District’s project
would be the first to develop in the area. If the
District’s project were developed first, it would have been
considered the “permanent impact.” However, other
developer projects (Otay Crossings, etc.) are scheduled to
be constructed before the District’s project.
Staff indicated, in response to an inquiry from the
Committee, that there has been no change to the District’s
project footprint.
Staff also shared that the District has received the
Biological Opinion, which is based on the amended acreages
from the Fish and Wildlife Services. The Opinion is
required for the project and was received much earlier than
expected.
In response to another inquiry from the Committee, it was
indicated that the project must comply with both State and
Federal regulations.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board on the consent
calendar.

AN ADDENDUM TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE OTAY MESA
CONVEYANCE AND DISINFECTION SYSTEM PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
March 31, 2017
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15164(b) states that an
Addendum to a previously adopted Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary, or none of the
conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 calling for the preparation of a subsequent or
supplemental EIR or subsequent Negative Declaration have occurred.
Please note the EIR noted herein was prepared as part of a joint Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). The EIS is a document prepared for a federal
Lead Agency, in this case the Department of State, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). No changes to the federal document are necessary.
Discussion
Revisions to the proposed project (as defined in the final Environmental Impact Report [EIR]) are included
herein as an Addendum to the final EIR. The revisions consist of updated impact footprints and habitat
acreages for federally listed species that may be impacted by the proposed project. These species
include Otay tarplant (Deinandra conjugens), San Diego fairy shrimp (Branchinecta sandiegonesis),
Quino Checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha quino), and coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila
californica californica). There are no proposed changes to least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) or
Riverside fairy shrimp (Streptocephalus woottoni) suitable habitat or critical habitat impacts from those
detailed in the final EIR. Revised impacts to suitable and critical habitat per listed species were
determined based on the assumption that the Otay Crossings project is developed prior to construction
of the proposed project. Revisions to the federally listed species suitable and critical habitat, and
conservation measures are listed below.
Federally Listed Species Habitat Revisions
Otay Tarplant
No permanent impacts to critical habitat or suitable habitat.
No temporary impacts to suitable habitat.
Temporary impacts to critical habitat will occur only in the area without primary
constituent elements (6.90 acres). Thus, no critical habitat with primary constituent
elements present will be temporarily or permanently impacted.
San Diego Fairy Shrimp
There were already no impacts to suitable habitat.
- 2 -
All critical habitat impacts are now temporary (1.01 acres) and the area of overlap with
critical habitat will be paved/developed because of Otay Crossings. Thus, no primary
constituent elements will be present where critical habitat is impacted.
Quino Checkerspot Butterfly
Permanent (2.31 acres) and temporary (12.27 acres) impacts to suitable habitat will
decrease.
Neither permanent nor temporary impacts to Quino Checkerspot butterfly critical habitat
will change as the Otay Crossings overlap area does not coincide with Quino
Checkerspot butterfly critical habitat.
There is one area of permanent impact to suitable and critical habitat near the pump
station option at the south end of the proposed project near the border. There is an
additional very small area of permanent impacts to suitable and critical habitat near the
pump station option at the north end of the proposed project, east of Roll Reservoir.
These areas combined amount to 2.31 acres total.
Coastal California Gnatcatcher
Permanent (0.16 acre) and temporary (1.42 acres) impacts to suitable habitat will
decrease by a small amount.
Critical habitat impact acreage does not change.
Conservation Measure Revisions
In addition to the conservation measures in the final EIR, the following conservation measures will be
adhered to during the construction phase of the proposed project:
Vegetation clearing and all construction activities would occur outside of the breeding seasons
and not within 500 feet of habitat occupied by coastal California gnatcatcher and least Bell’s
vireo, and other avian species (e.g., coastal California gnatcatcher, February 15 through August
15; least Bell’s vireo, March 15 through September 15).
Restoration of temporarily impacted federally listed species habitat will follow success criteria
and monitoring specifications that will be approved by the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office
(CFWO) prior to initiating construction of the proposed project.
Additionally, the following conservation measures have been added to the proposed project to reduce
impacts for listed species occupied habitat:
1. Permanent impacts to coastal California gnatcatcher would be offset by application of pre-
designated debit credits from the Otay Water District (District) San Miguel Habitat Management
Area (HMA) as follows:
Acreage Impacted Off-Site Mitigation
Ratio
Credits Debited from
HMA
Coastal
California
Gnatcatcher
0.16 2:1 0.32
2. Permanent impacts to Quino Checkerspot butterfly critical habitat would be offset by off-site
habitat acquisition and long-term management. Off-site habitat acquired for compensatory
mitigation would be preserved in perpetuity via establishment of a conservation/open space
easement. Compensatory mitigation would occur as follows:
- 3 -
Acreage Impacted Off-Site Mitigation
Ratio
Required Offsite
Mitigation
Quino
Checkerspot
Butterfly
2.31 3:1 6.93
The District will implement the above-noted mitigation requirements through coordination with
the Service and acquisition of offsite mitigation lands. Offsite mitigation lands will be inclusive of
federally-designated Quino Checkerspot butterfly critical habitat and will satisfy off-site
compensatory mitigation for permanent impacts. The District will execute and record a perpetual
biological conservation easement or other conservation mechanism acceptable to the Service
over the acquired land. The District will also ensure that a perpetual management, maintenance,
and monitoring plan is prepared and implemented for the property through an endowment.
Summary
Given the revisions to the proposed project and the implementation of mitigation measures, impacts to
Otay tarplant, San Diego fairy shrimp, Riverside fairy shrimp, Quino Checkerspot butterfly, coastal
California gnatcatcher and least Bell’s vireo would be less than significant. In addition, impacts to critical
habitat for Otay tarplant, San Diego fairy shrimp, Riverside fairy shrimp, Quino Checkerspot butterfly,
coastal California gnatcatcher, and least Bell’s vireo would be less than significant with implementation
of mitigation measures. Proposed changes to the project would not result in any new significant impacts.

MEETING DATE: June 7, 2017
SUBMITTED BY:
Tenille Otero
Communications Officer
PROJECT: Various DIV. NO. ALL
APPROVED BY:
Mark Watton, General Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to Extend the Joint Powers Agency Water Conservation
Garden Operation Agreement and Funding Agreement
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the second amendment to the Joint
Powers Agency (JPA) Water Conservation Garden Operation Agreement
(Operation Agreement) [Attachment B], extending the expiration date
and the funding agreement an additional 12 months from June 30, 2017
to June 30, 2018.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To request that the Board consider extending the Operation and
Funding agreements an additional 12 months, allowing additional time
for the Water Conservation Garden Joint Powers Agency to continue
developing and modifying the new draft agreement so that it
adequately represents the water conservation goals and objectives of
the JPA members who provide approximately 50 percent of the funding
to operate the Garden.
2
ANALYSIS:
Members of the JPA, including Otay Water District and Helix Water
District who funded the construction of the Garden, along with San
Diego County Water Authority, Sweetwater Authority, and the City of
San Diego, continue to fund approximately 50 percent of its
operational costs. At its December 2016 Board meeting, the District
Board approved the first amendendment to the original Operation
Agreement, dated October 13, 2010, extending the expiration date to
June 30, 2017. At its April 20, 2017 committee meeting, the JPA
reviewed a draft of the revised Operation Agreement and concurred
that the agreement is moving in a suitable direction, focusing on the
operations and maintenatnce of the Garden and the water conservation
goals of the JPA members. However, the JPA voted not to approve the
agreement because the agreement needs more revisions and the JPA
needs more time to thoroughly evaluate the agreement, provide
feedback, and solicit additional feedback from the JPA’s member
agencies’ boards. JPA members also determined that since a final
revised agreement would need to be approved by each of the individual
member agencies’ boards, the deadline of June 30, 2017 could not be
met.
In addition, the Funding Agreement is due to expire on June 30,
2017. The second amendment also includes an extension of the
District’s funding agreement for an additional 12 months through June
30, 2018. Since the funding of the Garden is so closely tied to the
Operational Plan, the JPA agrees that the funding agreement should be
extended to align with the expiration of the Operation Agreement.
Two District Board members, Mark Robak as the District representative
and Gary Croucher as the alternate, support the District on the JPA
committee. At the JPA committee’s April 20, 2017 meeting, all members
voted to extend the Operation Agreement an additional 12 months, from
June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018. JPA members also voted to establish a
governance subcommittee to evaluate the draft agreement thoroughly,
make any recommendations, and bring a second draft agreement back to
the JPA within a six-month time frame, by a deadline of December 31,
2017. Board member Mark Robak is the chairman of that subcommittee.
The subcommittee has met three times to date and has also discussed
the value of the Garden to its member agencies, as well as its core
exhibits, focusing on water conservation.
Extending the agreement and the time to develop a revised agreement
will provide the JPA subcommittee and committee sufficient time to
thoroughly review and revise the Operation Agreement. In addition,
this allows the JPA member agencies to review the agreement and
3
present a well-defined plan to its respective boards. By extending
the agreement an additional 12 months, funding needs to be secured to
support that extension. This will allow members of the JPA to
evaluate their participation in funding and/or operating the Garden
so it continues to provide valuable water conservation programs and
utilize the facilities constructed at the Garden as intended by its
founders.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The Water Conservation Garden funding of $96,450 is included in the
District’s Conservation budget request for Fiscal Year 2018 proposed
budget. Funds for FY 2017 have been expended.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Supports the objective in the District’s Strategic Plan to evaluate
and enhance the District's water conservation programs and services.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

Agreement
COMMITTEE ACTION:
This item was presented to the Finance, Administration and
Communications Committee at a meeting held on May 17, 2017. The
following comments were made:
Staff is requesting that the Board consider approving the second
amendment to the Joint Powers Agency (JPA) Water Conservation
Garden Operation Agreement (Operation Agreement) extending the
expiration date and the funding agreement an additional 12 months
from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018.
Staff presented the information in the staff report.
It was noted that it is expected that the JPA member agencies
will be presenting the extension of the Operating Agreement and
Funding Agreement to their respective boards for action by the
end of the month (May 2017).
The District’s Committee discussed the JPA membership and that
the water agency members felt that the core focus of the Water
Conservation Garden(Garden) – a demonstration garden for
residential landscapes designed to conserve water – was being
lost. These are issues that are still being addressed by the
JPA.
The District’s Committee also indicated that they wished to
provide the Garden the chance to succeed and felt it can become
self sufficient. Funding from the members was also discussed and
the Committee wished for the JPA to develop a rational for how
much each member agency should contribute to the Garden’s
operating budget.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board as an action item.

SUBJECT: APPROVE THE WATER SYSTEM FEES AND AMEND THE DISTRICT’S
PURCHASING MANUAL TO ADD REGULATORY FEES
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approve the water system fees and to amend the
District’s Purchasing Manual Section 7.2.8.a. to add “Regulatory
Fees.”
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see “Attachment A.”
PURPOSE:
A two-fold request:
1. That the Board approve the water system fees for July 1, 2016
through June 30, 2017, and;
2. Amend the District’s Purchasing Manual Section 7.2.8.a as
presented to add ‘‘Regulatory Fees’’ in order to streamline the
payment of fees required by the State Water Resources Control
Board (California Water Board) and other regulatory agencies.
ANALYSIS:
2
For many years the District has been required to pay to the State
fees under the Department of Public Health for permitting,
compliance, monitoring, inspections and investigations averaging
$15,000 annually. These fees have always been under the General
Manager (GM) and/or his/her designee’s authority. In the past few
years these responsibilities were transferred to the State Water
Resources Control Board who changed these fees from billable hours to
the number of service connections of an agency as shown below:

This is an approximately 510% increase effective for fiscal year
2017. Staff received a notice from the State informing the District
of this increase last year, allowing staff to budget for this
increase.
The District received the $85,092.70 invoice on April 20, 2017 and in
the process of preparing a check request, staff realized that this
type of expenditure is not listed in the District’s Purchasing Manual
for Board authorized purchases exceeding the GM’s authority.
As mentioned at our last Board Meeting, the Board of Directors
establishes the operational guidelines and procedures with respect to
purchasing the goods and services necessary to conduct the District’s
business including items that the GM or his/her designee is
authorized to purchase and which exceed the GM’s delegated purchasing
authority. These procedures are defined and published in the
District’s Purchasing Manual.
The approved section 7.2.8 currently reads:

Re: ACWA Comments regarding SWRCB Revised Draft Drinking Water Fee Regulations
Dear Ms. Townsend:
The Association of California Water Agencies (“ACWA”) appreciates the opportunity to
comment on the State Water Resources Control Board’s (“SWRCB”) revised draft Drinking
Water Fee Regulations released for public comment on July 13, 2016 (“Revised Draft
Regulations”). ACWA represents over 435 public water agencies that collectively supply 90%
of the water delivered in California for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. Many of
ACWA’s public agency members are entrusted with the responsibility of supplying the public
with safe, high-quality drinking water. Ensuring the safety of drinking water supplies by
complying with all relevant state and federal standards is the highest priority of these agencies.
I. BACKGROUND
The SWRCB’s Drinking Water Program is charged with the responsibility of administering the
California Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA”).1 Under SB 83 (2015), effective July 1, 2016,
“Each public water system shall submit an annual fee according to a fee schedule established by
the [SWRCB]… for the purpose of reimbursing the [SWRCB] for the costs incurred” by the
SWRCB for conducting activities mandated under the SDWA.2 The categories of Public Water
Systems that pay these fees include Community Water Systems, Wholesaler Water Systems,
and Transient and Nontransient Noncommunity Water Systems.
Following the enactment of SB 83 in June 2015, ACWA and other stakeholders met with
SWRCB staff in a series of meetings to discuss potential approaches to structuring the
SWRCB’s Drinking Water Program fee structure. ACWA provided testimony at a SWRCB
1 Health & Safety Code § 116271.

Board Workshop held on this issue in November 2015 and we participated in a series of
workshops held by SWRCB staff in locations around the state in December 2015. ACWA
submitted a comment letter on the SWRCB’s initial Draft Regulations on June 21, 2016 which
expressed significant concerns with the proposed fee increases included in that proposal. The
ACWA letter included a proposed alternative fee schedule developed by ACWA and other
drinking water systems representatives (the “Water Community Option”), as well as a number
of additional comments aimed at ensuring that the state’s Drinking Water Program maintains its
accountability to Public Water Systems and the customers they serve.
ACWA acknowledges and appreciates the incorporation of elements of the Water Community
Option in the Revised Draft Regulations. It is important to note, however, that the Revised Fee
Regulations differ from the Water Community Option in that they include a new
“Disadvantaged Community Certification” and also increase the per-connection fees for some
large water systems when compared to the Water Community Option.
As is demonstrated in Table 1 below, the Revised Draft Regulations will significantly increase
the average fees paid by Large Water Systems serving more than 1,000 connections.

While ACWA supports adequate funding for the Drinking Water Program, the magnitude of the
proposed fee increases for Fiscal Year 2016-17 underscores the critical need for enhanced
accountability and transparency in the administration of the Drinking Water Program and the
implementation of the Revised Fee Regulations’ proposed fee structure.

II. THE SWRCB SHOULD UNDERTAKE A SERIES OF STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THE STATE’S
DRINKING WATER PROGRAM MAINTAINS ITS ACCOUNTABILITY TO PUBLIC WATER
SYSTEMS AND THE CUSTOMERS THEY SERVE
With the Revised Fee Regulations’ significant re-structuring of the existing fee schedule and the
substantial fee increases proposed for many Public Water Systems, the SWRCB should
undertake a series of steps to ensure that the Drinking Water Program maintains its
accountability to Public Water Systems. ACWA encourages the SWRCB to include specific
language in the Resolution adopting the final drinking water fee regulations that directs
SWRCB staff to maintain the Drinking Water Program’s accounting of staff time allocated to
specific water systems, track and publicly report key Program performance metrics, and ensure
that implementation of the final fee regulation is responsive to public agencies’ budgeting
processes. Additionally, it is critical that the SWRCB provide a forum for the evaluation and
discussion of the implementation of the Revised Fee Regulations.
A. Maintain the Drinking Water Program’s accounting of staff time allocated to specific
water systems.
Under the current fee-for-service structure, all Large Water Systems receive semi-annual
invoices that detail the Drinking Water Program staff time dedicated to their system. These
invoices are critical to providing water systems with an opportunity to review and account for
the service provided by the Drinking Water Program to their system.
As the Drinking Water Program moves towards a connection-based fee structure, we encourage
the Board to include language in the Resolution adopting the final drinking water fee
regulations that directs SWRCB staff to retain the DART system which is currently used to
track Drinking Water Program staff time and continue to make an accounting of Drinking Water
Program service available to Public Water Systems. This can help ensure that water systems are
able to obtain the service, oversight and support that they require. It will also help inform the
Board and SWRCB staff on how Drinking Water Program staff time and resources are being
allocated.
B. Track and report key Drinking Water Program performance metrics.
The Drinking Water Program provides essential services and oversight for all Public Water
Systems, and regardless of how fees are assessed it is critical to ensure that all water systems
receive an appropriate level of service in a timely fashion.
ACWA encourages the Board to include language in the Resolution adopting the final drinking
water fee regulations that directs SWRCB staff to develop an annual report on key Drinking
Water Program performance metrics to be presented to the Board at a public meeting no less
frequently than once per year. In addition to providing the Board with an update on the
SWRCB Revised Draft Drinking Water Fee Regulations
Comment Letter, Association of California Water Agencies (July 29, 2016)
Page 4 of 5
Drinking Water Program’s performance, the report would give members of the public, including
Public Water System fee payors, an opportunity to provide feedback on the level of service
provided by the Drinking Water Program.
C. Ensure that implementation of the final drinking water fee regulation is responsive to
public agencies’ budgeting processes and other constraints.
Section 64315 of the Draft Fee Regulations requires that fee invoices be paid “within forty five
(45) calendar days of the date of the invoice, except that this date may be extended by the State
Board for good cause, which shall be determined at the State Board's sole discretion.”
With the costs of the Drinking Water Program increasing and fees for many water systems
substantially escalating under the Revised Fee Regulations, many fee payors (particularly public
agencies) will be required to obtain budget approvals to pay their revised fee. Obtaining the
necessary authorization to pay these increased fees may take more than 45 days from receipt of
an invoice. Accordingly, ACWA’s June 21, 2016 comment letter encouraged the SWRCB to
revise the section 64315 of the Draft Fee Regulations to provide 90 days for payment of
invoices.
ACWA’s suggested revision was not incorporated in the Revised Draft Regulations.
Accordingly, we encourage the SWRCB to include language in the Resolution adopting the
final drinking water fee regulations that directs SWRCB staff to interpret the “good cause”
provision in section 64315 of the Revised Draft Regulations in a manner that is responsive to
fee payors’ budgeting processes and other constraints.
D. Provide for additional transparency and stakeholder involvement in future
rulemakings to modify the Drinking Water Fees.
Under Health & Safety Code section 116565(d), the SWRCB “shall set the amount of total
revenue collected each year through the fee schedule at an amount equal to the amount
appropriated by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act from the Safe Drinking Water
Account.” These annual adjustments of the fee schedule will be adopted through emergency
regulations.3
The SWRCB should provide Public Water Systems with sufficient information (including the
time accounting invoices and annual report described in subsections II. A. and B., above) and a
robust public process when the fee regulations are adjusted. Doing so will be critical to ensuring
that the Public Water System fees are calculated in a manner that reflects the California
Constitution’s requirement that state regulatory fees bear a “fair or reasonable relationship” to
3 Health & Safety Code § 116565(e)(1).
SWRCB Revised Draft Drinking Water Fee Regulations

the fee payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.4 Additionally,
it will give the SWRCB and Public Water Systems an opportunity to evaluate the assumptions
used in the development of the Disadvantaged Communities Certification provisions, as well as
the financial impact of the Certification in Fiscal Year 2016-17 and beyond.
E. Plan to re-evaluate the proposed fee structure for Wholesaler Water Systems.
In ACWA’s June 21, 2016 comment letter, we expressed concerns that the that the initial Draft
Regulations use of a volumetric surcharge for Wholesaler Water Systems would result in
decreased revenue stability and inequitably pass-through increasing regulatory fee costs to
Public Water Systems served by one or more Wholesalers.
While the Revised Fee Regulations do not include any changes to the volumetric surcharge fee
structure for Wholesalers, SWRCB staff have expressed a willingness to re-visit the structure of
Wholesaler fees in future drinking water fee rulemakings. The SWRCB’s public process for
adjustments to the fee regulations should include an evaluation of the impact of the use of a
volumetric surcharge for Wholesalers.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at AdamR@ACWA.com or
(916) 441-4545.

Re: Comments regarding the SWRCB Draft Drinking Water Fee Regulations
Dear Ms. Townsend:
The Association of California Water Agencies, the California Municipal Utilities Association,
the California State Association of Counties and the California-Nevada Section of the American
Water Works Association appreciate the opportunity to comment on the State Water Resources
Control Board’s (“SWRCB”) draft Drinking Water Fee Regulations released for public comment
on April 29, 2016 (“Draft Fee Regulations”). As representatives of the entities that provide safe
drinking water to the vast majority of Californians, we recognize that the final Fee Regulations
must ensure that the Drinking Water Program has adequate funding for fiscal year 2016-17. We
are concerned, however, that the Draft Fee Regulations do not equitably allocate Drinking Water
Program costs among fee payors.
Our organizations encourage the SWRCB to replace the fee schedule proposed in section
64305 of the Draft Fee Regulations with the Water Community Option detailed in the
Association of California Water Agencies’ comment letter. We also encourage the SWRCB
Page 2 of 3
to carefully consider the comments provided in individual comment letters submitted by our
organizations for additional suggested changes that can help ensure that the state’s Drinking
Water Program maintains its accountability to public water systems and the customers they
serve.
We appreciate the substantial efforts of State Board staff to engage public water system
representatives on this important issue. Our organizations are committed to working with the
State Board and other stakeholders to address drinking water quality and reliability issues, and
we look forward to working with State Board staff as they continue to refine the Draft Fee
Regulations.

COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval of Ordinance No. 563 that would modify the
water and sewer capacity and annexation fees as well as the new
water supply fees the District charges.
SUMMARY:
At the time of connection to a public agency’s utility system,
customers are typically charged a capacity fee to “buy in” to
the water and wastewater systems. The capacity fee requires new
users to pay for their share of the costs to construct the
facilities required for providing their water and sewer service.
Revenues generated through the proposed capacity fees can be
used to directly offset system expansion costs, repay debt
issued for the water system expansion, or for renewal and
replacement of capital projects. Use of capacity fee revenues
to offset these capital and debt service costs reduces the
amount of revenue required from rates assessed to existing
users. In this way capacity fee revenues, in effect, reimburse
the existing users (through lower rates) for the costs they have
incurred to provide capacity for new users.
In addition, the new water supply fee pays for the expansion
cost of capital for new water supply projects. This fee is
separate from the general capacity fee and highlights that the
District is charging new users for the new supply.
3
An annexation fee is based on all availability fees and property
taxes paid by existing users. For water customers it is charged
to all properties annexing into the Otay Water District
boundaries. For sewer customers it is proposed to be charged to
all properties annexing into a sewer ID. This fee compensates
the existing users for their past investment in the District’s
water and sewer systems. Water customers who are within the
District boundaries benefit from the proximity of the water
facilities and pay both availability and property taxes even
though they may not have a water connection. Neighboring
properties just outside the District boundaries likewise have
benefited; however, as they have not previously annexed into the
District they have not paid the property tax and availability
fees.
The proposed fees, effective June 7, 2017, are applied per
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) and are as follows:
Current Fee Proposed Fee Change
Water
Capacity Fee $8,590 $7,359 ($1,231)
New Water Supply Fee $1,064 $799 ($265)
Annexation Fee $1,912 $2,021 $109
Total $11,566 $10,179 ($1,387)
Triad Capacity Fee $6,445 $5,521 ($924)
Sewer (in ID)
Capacity Fee (buy-in)$4,403 $3,246 ($1,157)
Sewer (outside ID)
Capacity Fee (buy-in)$6,886 $5,554 ($1,332)
Annexation Fee $1,095 $1,106 $10
Total (outside ID)$7,981 $6,660 ($1,322)
BACKGROUND:
A District objective is that growth pays for growth. This is
achieved by charging capacity and annexation fees to new
customers. Periodically, these fees are reviewed and updated to
ensure equity and accuracy of the fees. The methodologies used
in this water capacity and annexation fee study are consistent
with those used in the studies performed in 2010 and 2014. The
methodologies used in the sewer capacity and annexation fee
study are consistent with those used in the 2014 study.
4
The current study was prepared by HDR Engineering, Inc.
Water Capacity, New Water and Annexation Fees
In 2010, a Capacity and Annexation Fee study was performed and
the Board changed the capacity fee structure for water from an
incremental to a combined fee methodology. The combined fee
methodology is typically used where some capacity is available
in parts of the existing system, but new or incremental capacity
will need to be built in other parts. This results in a
capacity fee that reflects the value of existing and planned
capacity. This method was chosen because it aligned with the
District’s current size and future growth expectations. A new
water supply fee was also established in 2010 to separately
identify the cost of new water supply projects and is
essentially a subcomponent of the capacity fee that we choose to
show separately.
The water annexation fee methodology was also modified in 2010
to reflect both the changes in the capacity fee study and to use
an industry accepted method for calculating the fee. This fee
is charged to new customers annexing into the Otay Water
District boundaries. The purpose of the annexation fee is to
collect from new water customers their fair share of taxes (1%
property tax and availability fees) already paid by the existing
customers in the District.
Sewer Capacity and Annexation Fees
Prior to 2014, the sewer capacity and annexation fees were last
updated in 1998 as part of a fee study. In 2014, the District
had no sewer capacity fee (based on the 1998 study), but did
have an annexation fee. The annexation fee from 1998 until 2014
was really a “buy-in” capacity fee, meant to reimburse the sewer
customers who built the sewer infrastructure. However, an
annexation fee is only charged when a customer is annexed into a
sewer ID. The thinking prior to 2014 was that new sewer
customers would need to be annexed into the system. Between
2009 and 2014, only 5 of 27 new sewer connections paid an
annexation fee because only these 5 customers were outside a
sewer ID. As part of the 2014 study, a capacity fee was
implemented so that all new sewer customers would have to “buy-
in” to the sewer system, which ensures all customers pay their
fair share.
Additionally, because customers who were already in a sewer ID
paid debt (used for the construction of sewer facilities) that
5
was collected through the tax role, it is necessary for the
District to have two separate capacity fees. The first capacity
fee applies to parcels within an ID that paid prior tax debt.
The second capacity fee applies to parcels outside an ID that
have not paid tax debt. Having two separate sewer capacity fees
ensures that each new customer pays their fair share of the
facilities.
In the current study, the methodologies used, to calculate the
sewer capacity and annexation fees are consistent with those
used in the 2014 study.
STUDY RESULTS:
Capacity Fee Methodology:
There are several industry accepted methodologies to use when
calculating capacity and annexation fees which are viable under
California law.
The first capacity fee method is the Combined Capacity Fee,
which is what the District currently uses for the water capacity
fee. Under this methodology, the cost of the current system
plus the cost of all future expansion projects is divided by all
customers existing and future. This method is typically used
where some capacity is available in parts of the existing
system, but new or incremental capacity will need to be built in
other parts. This methodology is used in this situation because
it results in a capacity fee that reflects the value of existing
and planned capacity. The following illustrates the combined
fee methodology.
Existing and Future Asset Values
Existing and Future Equivalent Meters
The second is the Incremental Capacity Fee method, where the
cost of all future expansion projects is divided by all future
customers, which is what the District currently uses for the New
Water Supply fee. This method is typically used when the system
has limited or no capacity to serve new development, or in this
case where this subset of capacity is limited, and new or
incremental facilities are needed to serve new development now
and into the future. The following illustrates the components
of this calculation.
Value of Future Facilities
Future Equivalent Meters
6
The third capacity fee method is called the Buy-in Fee, where
the cost of the current system, including the excess capacity,
is divided by the existing customers. This method is typically
used when the existing system has sufficient capacity to serve
new development now and into the future. This fee is charged to
all new customers and reflects how much existing customers have
paid for the current system. The current sewer annexation fee
uses this method and therefore, is essentially a sewer Buy-in
Capacity Fee. The calculation is illustrated below.
Existing Asset Value
Existing Equivalent Meters
Asset Valuation:
There are two ways to value the cost of existing facilities and
assets. The first valuation methodology is reproduction cost.
This method uses the original cost of existing facilities
adjusted for inflation. The second valuation methodology is
replacement cost or what it would cost today to build the same
functional infrastructure which means it may not be identical in
construction methods or materials, but it performs the same
function.
Staff and the consultant’s recommendation is to use replacement
cost using depreciated value as the basis for valuation of water
and sewer pipelines. Reproduction cost using depreciated value
is recommended for all other assets such as reservoirs and pump
stations.
Annexation Fee Methodology:
Annexation fees are commonly used by cities and districts and
ensure that existing users are compensated for their past
investment in the water system. Under this methodology, all
property taxes paid by the existing District property owners (1%
property tax and availability fees) is divided by the total
number of existing EDUs within the District. The calculation is
illustrated below.
Water Capacity and Annexation Fees:
This study’s recommendation is to continue to use the Combined
Capacity Fee methodology for the calculation of the water

capacity fee. The current water capacity fee is $8,590.34 after
being adjusted for the ENR Index through March, 2017. Based on
the most up-to-date capital improvement plan and the 2015 Water
Facilities Master Plan, the newly calculated water capacity fee
is $7,359.21. A discounted capacity fee of $5,520.88 was
calculated for the Triad developers by excluding future potable
storage, thereby recognizing their prepayment of storage.
The overall decrease in the capacity fee is due to a decrease of
approximately $42.0 million in developer reimbursement projects
and the elimination of $22.6 million related to Otay Mesa
recycled water projects. The developer reimbursement projects
were removed from the future CIP listing as they have been
deemed to be the responsibility of the developer. The Otay Mesa
Recycled projects were removed as a result of the permanent
moratorium approved by the Board on May 3, 2017.
The current study recommends the same methodology be used as the
basis for the New Water Supply fee, which separately identifies
the cost of new water supply projects. Based on this
recommendation, the current fee of $1,064.11, inflated by ENR
through March 2017, will be adjusted to the recommended fee of
$798.84 which reflects the current capital plan and future
estimated EDU’s. The reduction in the New Water Supply Fee is
due to a reduction in the total estimated project costs being
funded by new water supply fees. New water supply projects are
funded by both the betterment fund and new water supply fund.
Betterment funds the portion of the project that benefits
existing customers and the new water supply funds the portion of
the project benefiting future customers. The allocation between
these two funds is based on the ratio of existing EDU’s to
future EDU’s, which is obtained from the District’s Water
Facilities Master Plan (WFMP). Based on the current approved
WFMP, the percentage of new water supply project costs being
funded by the new water supply fee has decreased from 40% to
31%.
This study also recommends the continuation of the current
industry accepted water annexation fee methodology. This fee is
charged to new customers who want to annex into the Otay Water
District boundaries, because they have not historically paid
their share of these fees or taxes. The purpose of this fee is
to compensate existing users for their past investment in the
District’s water system paid through fees and taxes. The
current water annexation fee is $1,911.95, after being adjusted
for the ENR Index through March 2017, and the new recommended
8
fee is $2,021.40 reflecting the updated cumulative tax
collections.
Sewer Capacity and Annexation Fees:
This study’s recommendation is to continue to use the Combined
Capacity Fee methodology for the calculation of the sewer
capacity fee. The sewer annexation fee currently charged is
meant to reimburse the sewer customers who built the sewer
infrastructure as the existing system is capable of meeting
future demand within the current district boundaries. The
current sewer capacity fee is $6,886.04 after being adjusted for
the ENR index through March, 2017. Based upon the most up-to-
date capital improvement plan, the newly calculated sewer
capacity fee is $5,554.39. The overall reduction in the
capacity fee is due to the existing system’s depreciation
outpacing the cost of capital improvements.
Additionally, a second sewer capacity fee must be calculated
because customers who are located within a sewer ID paid debt
(used for the construction of sewer facilities) that was
collected through the tax role. By establishing two separate
sewer capacity fees it ensures that each new customer pays their
fair share of facilities and that no customer is overcharged.
The second capacity fee applies to parcels within an ID that
have paid tax debt and is recommended to be set at $3,246.39.
These customers receive a credit of $2,308.00 to reflect their
past payments towards sewer debt.
The current sewer annexation fee is only charged when a customer
is annexed into a sewer ID. The current sewer annexation fee is
$1,095.31 after being adjusted for the ENR index through March,
2017. Based upon the availability fees paid via the tax role by
existing customers, the newly calculated sewer annexation fee is
$1,105.79. The new annexation fee would only be paid by new
customers who are not currently in a sewer ID and therefore, are
required to annex into a sewer ID prior to any sewer connection.
Capacity, New Water Supply & Annexation Conclusion:
The fee study was prepared using industry standard methodologies
and equitably charges new customers for water and sewer service.
Staff is recommending the capacity, annexation and new water
supply fees be amended based on the results of this study.

Temporary Service Fee Code Modification
During the review of Appendix A, staff noted a clean-up item
related to Section 31.02 D.1. At the April 6, 2016 Board
meeting, the Board adopted changes to Section 31 of the
District’s Code of Ordinances. The adopted changes included
removing Section 31.02 D of the Code for temporary service to
community service organizations. Since this change was not made
at that time, staff is requesting to make this update to
Appendix A.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The fiscal impact will be a decrease in capacity fees and new
water supply fees of approximately $1,231 and $265 per EDU,
respectively. The fiscal impact for the water annexation fee is
an increase of $109 per meter equivalent. The estimated long-
term reduction in water capacity fees and new water supply fee
revenues is offset by reductions in estimated future CIP costs
related to developer reimbursements.
The fiscal impact for sewer capacity will be a decrease of
$1,332 per EDU and sewer annexation fees will increase $10 per
meter equivalent.
These changes have been incorporated into the upcoming Fiscal
Year 2018 budget. All long-term fiscal impacts of these fee
changes will be assessed and considered in the future rate
modeling.
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.

Staff indicated that the methodologies contained in today’s
report are consistent with the methodologies presented to
the Committee on April 19, 2017. The notes from the FA&C
Committee’s discussion on April 19, 2017 is attached as
Exhibit 1 to these notes.
The capacity and new water supply fees presented today
reflect updates to the study, which have reduced the base
capacity fee to $7,359 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU)
and the new base water supply fee to $799 per EDU. All
other fees are consistent with the prior presentation.
The Committee inquired regarding HomeFed’s project and its
relationship to capacity fees. Staff clarified that the
issue with HomeFed was related to the size of the meter to
serve a specific development rather than capacity fees.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staff’s
recommendation and presentation to the full board as an action
item.

It was indicated that staff met with Developer representatives
on April 18, 2017 and based on comments received during that
meeting, staff identified changes to the proposed Capacity
Fees (please reference Exhibit A attached to the committee
notes).
In response to an inquiry from the Committee, it was indicated
that the District has updated its planning documents, its
capital plans and has made some changes to land use which
impacted fees.
The committee inquired what is the timeframe that staff is
referring to with regard to the total value of “future
facilities that the District requires”. Staff indicated that
they are referring to “ultimate buildout”.
It was noted that the water capacity fee for the Triad Area is
lower because the customers within that area prepaid storage
facilities and are receiving credit for that prepayment.
Upon completion of the discussion, the committee supported
staffs’ recommendation and presentation to the full board as an
action item.

CHAPTER 6 MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATION PROCEDURES
SECTION 9 ANNEXATIONS AND DETACHMENTS
9.01 REQUIREMENT OF ANNEXATION FOR SERVICE
Except as provided elsewhere in this Code, whenever
utility service is requested for land outside the boundaries
of an improvement district, the land to be serviced must
first be annexed to an improvement district(s). If the land
is located outside the boundaries of the District, the land
must also be annexed to the District.
9.02 ANNEXATIONS TO OR DETACHMENTS FROM IMPROVEMENTS DISTRICTS
An owner or owners of land within the District desiring
to annex to or detach land from an improvement district
within the District must file a petition for such proceeding
with the District. Annexation proceedings shall be con-
ducted pursuant to Chapter I (commencing with Section 72670)
of Part 11, Division 20 of the California Water Code.
Detachment or exclusion proceedings shall be conducted pur-
suant to Part 8.5 (commencing with Section 72080) of Divi-
sion 20 of the California Water Code.
If the land proposed to be annexed is outside the boundaries
of the territory served by the Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California and the territory served by the San
Diego County Water Authority, and no local sources of water
are available to serve such land, the District will require
that the land be annexed to those entities as well.
9.03 ANNEXATIONS TO OR DETACHMENTS FROM THE DISTRICT THROUGH
LAFCO
An owner or owners desiring to annex land to or to
detach land from the District may either (i) file a petition
directly with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
for the annexation or detachment or (ii) request the
District to file the petition with LAFCO for such annexation
or detachment. Any such proceeding for annexation or
detachment, which is deemed a change of organization or
reorganization pursuant to the Cortese-Knox Local Government
Reorganization Act of 1985, shall be initiated, conducted
and completed pursuant to Title 6, Division 1 (commencing
with Section 56000) of the California Government Code.
By annexing to the District the owners and
representatives of the annexing land agree, on behalf of
themselves and all future owners and occupants of the
annexed lands, to comply with all laws, statutes, policies,
plans, conditions and requirements applicable to the
services provided by the District to such lands, including
Exhibit 1
9-2
without limitation any conservation or local supply use
requirements.
9.04 FEES AND CHARGES FOR ANNEXATIONS OR DETACHMENTS
A petitioner requesting an annexation to or detachment
from the District or within the District shall pay the
following applicable fees and charges:
A. Administrative Processing Fees
1. District Processing Fee. A District processing fee
(see Appendix A, Section 9 for fee) shall be paid to
the District for each annexation or detachment
proceeding, regardless of the number of parcels
involved, provided all parcels are included in one
proceeding. This fee shall constitute the "base
rate" on March 3, 1997. The base rate shall be
adjusted annually for fluctuations in the Consumer
Price Index (Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
- Los Angeles) and subsequent cost-of-living
adjustment (COLA).
2. Additional Processing Fees or Charges. The peti-
tioner shall pay all processing fees and charges due
LAFCO, the State Board of Equalization and any other
applicable government agency.
3. Concurrent Annexations to or Detachments from the
District and an Existing Improvement District. No
additional processing costs or fees will be
charged to a petitioner for an annexation to or
detachment from an existing improvement district
when the proceeding is part of an annexation to or
detachment from the District.
4. Payment of Fees and Charges. The District
processing fees and charges shall be paid to the
District at the time the petition for such
proceeding is filed. Where a petition is filed
with LAFCO, the District shall notify LAFCO that
payment of all required fees and charges to the
District shall be a condition for District
approval of the annexation or detachment.
B. Water Annexation Fees. The annexation fee (see
Appendix A, Section 9) shall constitute the "base
rate" on October 1, 2014 June 3, 2017). The base
rate shall be adjusted quarterly on the first day of
each calendar quarter for fluctuations in
construction costs, as measured by the Engineering
News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los
Angeles Region. The ENR Construction Cost Index of
10,739.4311,555.03 on June 1, 2014 April 1, 2017
9-3
shall be deemed the "base index." The adjustment
shall be in an amount equal to the percentage change
in the ENR Construction Cost Index from the base
index for the period from June 1, 2014 April 1, 2017
to the date of payment.
1. No water annexation fee shall be required for
existing and future agricultural water service
furnished by the District under the COMMERCIAL
AGRICULTURAL category of Section 25 of the Code.
2. Non-permanent irrigation water service furnished by
the District under Section 30 of the Code shall be
available without payment of a water annexation fee.
3. Open Space to be Annexed. Open space lands shall
not be excluded from annexations of land to a
water improvement district.
4. Water Meter Type Exclusions. Annexation fees
shall be collected on all water meters sold except
for temporary water meters, water tank truck
meters, nonpermanent irrigation water meters and
outside user meters, all as defined elsewhere in
this Code.
5. Effective Date. Annexation fees shall be col-
lected on all lands annexing into the Otay Water
District boundaries on or after March 5, 1997.
6. Basis for Determination. For annexations of land
into the Otay Water District boundaries, the
petitioner shall pay an annexation fee. The fee
shall be paid at the time of petition to be annexed.
There shall be no water annexation fee charged for
parcels already within District boundaries that are
applying to be annexed into a water ID.
For permanent water meters, except for commercial
agricultural meters, the annexation fee shall be
determined on the basis of the demand to be placed
on the District-wide water system. The fee will be
determined on the basis of the size of the water
meter required, as set forth in Section 27 of the
Code. The fee shall be determined by multiplying
the demand factor for the meter size, as set forth
in Section 28 of the Code, by the annexation fee per
EDU. See Appendix A, Section 9for fees.
9-4
C. Sewer Annexation Fees
1. Improvement District Annexation. All annexation
for sewer service shall be into Improvement
District No. 18 on or after December 16, 1998.
2. Open Space to be Annexed. Open space lands shall
not be excluded from annexations of land to a
sewer improvement district.
3. Effective Date. Annexation fees shall be
collected on all lands annexing to a sewer
improvement district on or after December 16,
1998.
4. Basis for Determination. For annexations of land
to a sewer improvement district within the Dis-
trict, the petitioner shall pay an annexation fee.
The fee shall be determined on the basis of the
demand to be placed on the District sewer system.
The fee shall be paid at the time of sewer service
connection request or General Manager's approval
of plans, whichever occurs earlier. The extent of
the demand will be determined on the basis of each
equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) of service which is
to be connected to the District sewer system. The
number of EDUs prescribed in Section 53 of the
Code shall be the basis for computation of the
amount of the annexation fee. The fee will be
determined by multiplying the number of EDUs by
the annexation fee per EDU. See Appendix A,
Section 9 for fees.
This annexation fee shall constitute the "base
rate" on October 1, 2014June 7, 2017. The base
rate shall be adjusted on the first day of each
calendar quarterly for fluctuations in
construction costs as measured by the Engineering
News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los
Angeles Region. The ENR Construction Cost Index
of 10,739.4311,555.03 (as of June 1, 2014April 1,
2017) shall be deemed the "base index." The
adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the
percentage change in the ENR Construction Cost
Index from the base index for the period from June
1, 2014 April 1, 2017 to the date of payment.
D. Detachment Fees
For each detachment of land from an improvement
district, the petitioner shall pay such fees as
the General Manager determines are appropriate for
the detachment. Determinations shall be made by
the General Manager on a case-by-case basis.
9-5
9.05 TAXATION OF PROPERTY AFTER ANNEXATION TO IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT
Where property is annexed by a petitioner, other than a
tax-exempt agency, the property in the annexed area shall be
subject to taxation after the annexation thereof for the
purposes of the improvement district, including the payment
of principal and interest on bonds and other obligations of
the improvement district authorized and outstanding at the
time of the annexation. The Board of Directors shall
provide as a condition of the annexation that the annexed
area shall be subject to taxation as if the property had
always been a part of the improvement district.
9.06 OTHER CONDITIONS OF ANNEXATION
By annexing to the District the owners and
representatives of the annexing land agree, on behalf of
themselves and all future owners and occupants of the
annexed lands, to comply with all laws, statutes, policies,
plans, conditions and requirements applicable to the
services provided by the District to such lands, including
without limitation any conservation or local supply use
requirements.

SECTION 53 CONDITIONS FOR SEWER SERVICE
53.01 CONDITIONS FOR ACQUISITION OF SEWER SERVICE CAPACITY
Sewer service capacity may be acquired only for service to a
specific address, parcel of land, or a land development project
covered by an approved map. An approved map shall mean a
recorded final map, a recorded parcel map or a tentative sub-
division map that has been approved by the County or by a City,
as applicable.
A. District Acceptance of Sewer Facilities for Russell Square
Area - Under an Agreement with Cal Dorado Development,
Inc., dated June 28, 1981, the District accepted title to a
sewer pump station, force main and appurtenances for a
sewage system to provide sewer service to the residential
dwelling units to be constructed within the parcels of land
in San Diego County Tentative Parcel Map 17150. Under an
Agreement with Cal Dorado Development, Inc., dated June 18,
1981, the District agreed to provide service to such
parcels on the terms and conditions contained therein. On
October 1, 1984, pursuant to Resolution No. 2139, the
District Board of Directors accepted title to the
facilities.
53.02 SERVICE AREAS
Sewer service shall be furnished by the District only to
property located in Improvement District No. 18 (ID 18) and the
Russell Square Sewer Service Area. Sewer service to property
located outside such areas may be furnished only upon annexation
to ID 18 and payment of all applicable annexation fees.
(Appendix A, Section 9)
A. Designation of Russell Square Sewer Area - The geographical
area described on the District Map entitled "Russell Square
Sewer Service Area," dated October 11, 1988, on file with
the District Secretary, constitutes the Russell Square
Sewer Service Area.
53.03 ACQUISITION OF SEWER CONNECTIONS FOR SERVICE
Effective October 1, 2014 two separate sewer capacity fees
have been established to ensure sewer customers do not pay
for facilities twice. The first capacity fee applies to
parcels within an ID that paid prior tax debt. The second
capacity fee applies parcels outside an ID that have not
paid the tax debt. The sewer capacity fees shall constitute
the "base rate." For fees or charges after October 1, 2014
June 7, 2017, the base rate shall be adjusted on the first
day of each calendar quarterly for fluctuations in
construction costs, as measured by the Engineering News
Exhibit 3
53-2
Record Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles Region.
The ENR Construction Cost Index of 10,739.4311,555.03 (as
of June 1, 2014April 1, 2017) shall be deemed the "base
index." The adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the
percentage change in the ENR Construction Cost Index from
the base index for the period from June 1, 2014 April 1,
2017 to the date of payment.
1. Sewer Capacity Fee within an ID

Section 53 for charge) to cover normal operational
53-3
costs of the Russell Square Pump Station and force
mains shall be collected. This charge shall be
reviewed by the Board of Directors from time to time
to assure that such charges cover the costs for
operation of the sewer facilities.
The proceeds of the fees and charges received by the
District under 53.03 B.1 and 53.03 B.2 shall be used by the
District solely for maintenance, replacement or repair
under 53.03 B.1 and for the operation of the facilities
under 53.03 B.2.
In addition, the customer for such service shall pay the
monthly service charge for sewer service set forth in
Section 53.10 A and B.
53.04 CHARGES FOR INSTALLATION OF SEWER LATERALS
Upon application for construction of one or more sewer laterals,
the customer shall deposit with the District the estimated costs
to be incurred by the District in connection with the instal-
lation of the facilities required, as determined by the
District. Upon completion of the work, the District shall
calculate the actual costs incurred by the District in
performing the work. If actual costs are less than the amount
deposited, the District shall refund the balance of the deposit
to the customer. If actual costs exceed the amount deposited,
the customer shall reimburse the District for the additional
costs.
53.05 PAYMENT OF FEES
All fees prescribed in the Code shall become owing, due and
payable at the time application is made to connect a premise to
the sewer system of the District. The fees shall be paid to the
District prior to the issuance of any permit authorizing the
connection of such premise to the District sewer system. If the
proposed connection cannot be made, the fee may be refunded when
approved by the General Manager.
53.06 SEWER SERVICE USE CHANGES RESULTING IN INCREASED SYSTEM
UTILIZATION
The use of a sewer connection shall be limited to the type and
number of EDUs authorized by the original wastewater discharge
permit. Before adding any additional equivalent dwelling units,
buildings, modifying existing buildings, or change of occupancy
type, the property owner shall make a supplementary wastewater
permit application to the District for such change in use and
pay additional sewer annexation fees per EDU, if necessary, as
may be applicable. Periodic inspection of the premises may be
made by the District and if actual use is greater than estimated
use, an assessment for additional annexation fees shall be
53-4
assessed in accordance with the fee schedule in the then current
Code of Ordinances.
53.07 WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT ISSUANCE AND LIMITATION
A. A wastewater discharge permit shall be required for any
property for which a request is made to discharge into the
District sewage system.
B. Every wastewater discharge permit shall expire by
limitations and shall become null and void, if the
construction or work authorized by such permit is not
commenced within 120 days from date of issuance of such
wastewater discharge permit or if the construction or work
authorized by such wastewater discharge permit is suspended
or abandoned for a period of 120 days at any time after the
work is commenced.
C. Before such work can be recommenced, a new wastewater
discharge permit application must be filed with the
District. The District may reactivate the previous
wastewater discharge permit provided that wastewater
quantity and type is the same as the wastewater discharge
allowed under the original permit, and provided further that
such suspension and abandonment has not exceeded one year.
Fees paid for the previous wastewater discharge permit may
be credited toward the total permit fees required on the new
permit application. Reactivation of the previous wastewater
discharge permit shall be subject to District sewer capacity
being available at the time of new application and subject
to any additional costs or charges imposed during the period
of such suspension or abandonment.
53.08 BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT DWELLING UNITS (EDUs)

sold, transferred, or assigned separately from ownership of the
real property for which they were obtained, unless otherwise
stated in an agreement with the District.
53.10 DEFINITIONS OF RESIDENTIAL AND MULTI-RESIDENTIAL SEWER SERVICE
RATES, CHARGES AND FEES
All District sewer rates, charges, and fees are subject to Board
approval of rate increases to residential and multi-residential
sewer services billed on or after January 1, 2014 and may apply
to sewer services as early as the beginning of December 2013 and
periodically thereafter through December 31, 2018. The
increases shall be the amount sufficient to cover cost increases
53-7
related to operation and maintenance, but not to exceed 10% per
year.
Five-year Periodic Pass-through Rate Increases or Decreases from
District Wholesalers - All District sewer rates, charges, and
fees are subject to periodic rate changes from the District’s
public agency wholesalers for a five-year period beginning
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018.
Set-up Fees for Accounts - A set-up fee (see Appendix A, Section
53 for fee) shall be charged for each account transferred to
another customer.
Winter Average Determination - Sewer service usage fee shall be
based on the “Winter Average” water consumption, measured in
units of hundred cubic feet (HCF). The winter average period is
January through April. The winter average is calculated by
adding the four months of water consumption for the preceding
winter and dividing the resulting amount by four. This average
is then reduced by a 15% usage discount, recognizing that not
all water used flows into the sewer system, to determine the
“Winter Average” for billing purposes see Appendix A, Section
53.
Usage Fee - The usage fee rate (see Appendix A, Section 53) is
multiplied by the “Winter Average” calculation for each customer
(after the above noted 15% discount) and the resulting amount is
added to the System Fee applicable to the size of meter. The
resulting fixed fee shall be charged on a monthly basis for an
entire calendar year, until a new “Winter Average” is determined
for the following year.
Residential Sewer System Fee - The monthly system fee is set
forth in Appendix A, Section 53.
A. Residential Rate Charges
1. Defined as: Sewer service for individually metered
residential households.
2. The monthly sewer bill is calculated by adding the
system fee plus the usage fee as described in 53.10
above.
3. The maximum “Winter Average” for individually metered
residential customers is 30 units (after the 15%
discount).
4. Monthly Residential Sewer Rate without Consumption
History: The average residential sewer rate shall be
determined by calculating the total usage fee for all
53-8
residential customers and dividing by the number of
residential customers. Then the monthly average usage
fee is added to the system fee and this shall be used
to determine the total monthly fee to be used for
residential customers with no prior winter consumption,
customers using well water or other unmetered water.
See Appendix A, Section 53.
B. Multi-Residential Rate Charges
1. Defined as: Sewer service for master metered water
service for multiple-residential households including
for example; duplex, townhomes, apartments, and mobile
homes.
2. The monthly sewer bill for the complex is calculated by
adding a system fee based on meter size (as set forth
in Appendix A, Section 53) plus the usage fee (as set
forth in Appendix A, Section 53) multiplied by the
winter average, for the entire complex. Note: There is
no cap on consumption for the multi-residential
customers.
3. Monthly Multi-Residential Sewer Rate without
Consumption History: The multi-residential sewer rate
shall be determined by calculating the total usage fee
for all multi-residential customers and dividing by the
number of multi-residential dwelling units. The usage
fee per dwelling unit is multiplied by the new
customer’s number of dwelling units and this shall be
added to the monthly system fee, based on meter size,
to determine the monthly rate. This is applicable to
new complexes that do not have a prior winter
consumption history. See Appendix A, Section 53.
53.11 DEFINITIONS OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SEWER SERVICE RATES,
CHARGES AND FEES
All District sewer rates, charges, and fees are subject to Board
approval of rate increases to commercial and industrial sewer
services billed on or after January 1, 2014 and may apply to
sewer services as early as the beginning of December 2013 and
periodically thereafter through December 31, 2018. The
increases shall be the amount sufficient to cover cost increases
related to operation and maintenance, but not to exceed 10% per
year.
Five-year Periodic Pass-through Rate Increases or Decreases from
District Wholesalers - All District sewer rates, charges, and
fees are subject to periodic rate changes from the District’s
public agency wholesalers for a five-year period beginning
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018.
53-9
Set-up Fees for Accounts - A set-up fee (see Appendix A, Section
53 for fee) shall be charged for each account transferred to
another customer.
Average Annual Consumption - The Average Annual Consumption,
measured in units of hundred cubic feet (HCF). The annual
consumption period is January through December of the preceding
year divided by the number of months of consumption. This
average is reduced by a 15% usage discount which recognizes that
not all water used flows into the sewer system.
Usage Fee - The usage fee rate (see Appendix A, Section 53 for
rate) is determined by the commercial customer’s sewer strength
category in which they are assigned (low strength, medium
strength or high strength).
System Fee - The monthly system fee is determined by the
commercial customer’s water meter size (as set forth in Appendix
A, Section 53).
Strength Factor - The State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) has grouped commercial customers into various categories
and has identified Strength Factors for each of these business
categories. The standard of measure for Strength Factors is the
typical sewer strength of a single‐family residence (SFR). A SFR
has strength factor of 1. (As set forth in Appendix A, Section
53)
A. Commercial Rate Charges
1. The monthly sewer bill for commercial sewer customers
is calculated by multiplying the average annual
consumption, reduced by 15%, by the usage fee based on
strength (as set forth in Appendix A, Section 53) plus
the monthly system fee based on the customer’s water
meter size.
2. For new commercial sewer customers without consumption
history, staff shall make a determination of the
average annual consumption to be used until a year’s
consumption data can be collected. The determination
shall be based on the prior owner or tenant of the
sewer connection, or based on the most similar type of
current business operation. If the customer does not
agree with staff’s recommendation, the customer may
request an adjustment, in writing, and direct it to
the General Manager.
B. Industrial and Other Users
1. Charges determined by the Board of Directors on a
case-by-case basis.
53-10
Monthly sewer service charges shall commence upon
installation of the water meter to serve the premises
receiving the sewer service, upon connection to the District
sewer system, upon start of occupancy of the premises to be
served, or one year after the date the application for sewer
service is filed. If a sewer service connection has been
obtained and if sewer service will not be used until
sometime after installation of the water meter, commencement
of the sewer service charge may be deferred until the later
date only upon prior approval of the General Manager.
C. Commercial User Classifications
Commercial sewer service customers are subject to periodic
inspection of the premises by the District for verification
of proper sewer strength classification. In addition to
such periodic inspections, strength classifications will be
reviewed periodically, at the discretion of the District.
If warranted following a periodic inspection, periodic
classification review, or a change in the nature of a
customer’s business and/or use of the property, customers
may be reclassified to reflect their current business
operations and proper sewer strength, at the discretion of
the District and consistent with the standards set forth
herein and in the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) listing for sewer strength.
1. Low-Strength Commercial = 1.0 Strength Factor
Car wash
General office and buildings
Barber and beauty shops
Department, retail stores and general commercial
Hospitals and convalescent homes
Public Laundromats and dry cleaners
Professional office or office building

Churches
Schools (Elementary, junior & High Schools, Colleges)
Other uses having a similar strength as determined by
the District
2. Medium-Strength Commercial = 2.0 Strength Factor
Hotels without dining facilities or cooking facilities
Auto repair/sales shop and service station
Shopping centers
Other uses having a similar strength as determined by
the District
53-11
3. High-Strength Commercial = 4.0 Strength Factor

upon presentment to the bank upon which it is drawn.
53.13 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
A. Requirement of Deposit Due to Repeated Delinquencies: If
payments on a customer account have become delinquent five
or more times, the General Manager, Chief Financial Officer,
or any person delegated by the General Manager, shall be
authorized to require the customer to make a deposit with
the District, in cash or any other form satisfactory to the

date of demand for a deposit.
B. Handling of Deposit: A deposit shall not earn interest and
shall only be applied to reduce or satisfy amounts due the
District in the event of termination of service. A deposit
does not constitute payment for service bills and the
customer shall be required to comply with bill payment
requirements to continue receiving service.
C. Refund of Deposit: A deposit required under this Section
shall be refunded to the customer as provided in Section
25.04 B.

CHAPTER 6 MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATION PROCEDURES
SECTION 9 ANNEXATIONS AND DETACHMENTS
9.01 REQUIREMENT OF ANNEXATION FOR SERVICE
Except as provided elsewhere in this Code, whenever
utility service is requested for land outside the boundaries
of an improvement district, the land to be serviced must
first be annexed to an improvement district(s). If the land
is located outside the boundaries of the District, the land
must also be annexed to the District.
9.02 ANNEXATIONS TO OR DETACHMENTS FROM IMPROVEMENTS DISTRICTS
An owner or owners of land within the District desiring
to annex to or detach land from an improvement district
within the District must file a petition for such proceeding
with the District. Annexation proceedings shall be con-
ducted pursuant to Chapter I (commencing with Section 72670)
of Part 11, Division 20 of the California Water Code.
Detachment or exclusion proceedings shall be conducted pur-
suant to Part 8.5 (commencing with Section 72080) of Divi-
sion 20 of the California Water Code.
If the land proposed to be annexed is outside the boundaries
of the territory served by the Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California and the territory served by the San
Diego County Water Authority, and no local sources of water
are available to serve such land, the District will require
that the land be annexed to those entities as well.
9.03 ANNEXATIONS TO OR DETACHMENTS FROM THE DISTRICT THROUGH
LAFCO
An owner or owners desiring to annex land to or to
detach land from the District may either (i) file a petition
directly with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
for the annexation or detachment or (ii) request the
District to file the petition with LAFCO for such annexation
or detachment. Any such proceeding for annexation or
detachment, which is deemed a change of organization or
reorganization pursuant to the Cortese-Knox Local Government
Reorganization Act of 1985, shall be initiated, conducted
and completed pursuant to Title 6, Division 1 (commencing
with Section 56000) of the California Government Code.
By annexing to the District the owners and
representatives of the annexing land agree, on behalf of
themselves and all future owners and occupants of the
annexed lands, to comply with all laws, statutes, policies,
plans, conditions and requirements applicable to the
services provided by the District to such lands, including
Attachment C
9-2
without limitation any conservation or local supply use
requirements.
9.04 FEES AND CHARGES FOR ANNEXATIONS OR DETACHMENTS
A petitioner requesting an annexation to or detachment
from the District or within the District shall pay the
following applicable fees and charges:
A. Administrative Processing Fees
1. District Processing Fee. A District processing fee
(see Appendix A, Section 9 for fee) shall be paid to
the District for each annexation or detachment
proceeding, regardless of the number of parcels
involved, provided all parcels are included in one
proceeding. This fee shall constitute the "base
rate" on March 3, 1997. The base rate shall be
adjusted annually for fluctuations in the Consumer
Price Index (Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
- Los Angeles) and subsequent cost-of-living
adjustment (COLA).
2. Additional Processing Fees or Charges. The peti-
tioner shall pay all processing fees and charges due
LAFCO, the State Board of Equalization and any other
applicable government agency.
3. Concurrent Annexations to or Detachments from the
District and an Existing Improvement District. No
additional processing costs or fees will be
charged to a petitioner for an annexation to or
detachment from an existing improvement district
when the proceeding is part of an annexation to or
detachment from the District.
4. Payment of Fees and Charges. The District
processing fees and charges shall be paid to the
District at the time the petition for such
proceeding is filed. Where a petition is filed
with LAFCO, the District shall notify LAFCO that
payment of all required fees and charges to the
District shall be a condition for District
approval of the annexation or detachment.
B. Water Annexation Fees. The annexation fee (see
Appendix A, Section 9) shall constitute the "base
rate" on June 7, 2017). The base rate shall be
adjusted on the first day of each calendar quarter
for fluctuations in construction costs, as measured
by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost
Index for the Los Angeles Region. The ENR
Construction Cost Index of 11,555.03 on April 1,
2017 shall be deemed the "base index." The
9-3
adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the
percentage change in the ENR Construction Cost Index
from the base index for the period from April 1,
2017 to the date of payment.
1. No water annexation fee shall be required for
existing and future agricultural water service
furnished by the District under the COMMERCIAL
AGRICULTURAL category of Section 25 of the Code.
2. Non-permanent irrigation water service furnished by
the District under Section 30 of the Code shall be
available without payment of a water annexation fee.
3. Open Space to be Annexed. Open space lands shall
not be excluded from annexations of land to a
water improvement district.
4. Water Meter Type Exclusions. Annexation fees
shall be collected on all water meters sold except
for temporary water meters, water tank truck
meters, nonpermanent irrigation water meters and
outside user meters, all as defined elsewhere in
this Code.
5. Effective Date. Annexation fees shall be col-
lected on all lands annexing into the Otay Water
District boundaries on or after March 5, 1997.
6. Basis for Determination. For annexations of land
into the Otay Water District boundaries, the
petitioner shall pay an annexation fee. The fee
shall be paid at the time of petition to be annexed.
There shall be no water annexation fee charged for
parcels already within District boundaries that are
applying to be annexed into a water ID.
For permanent water meters, except for commercial
agricultural meters, the annexation fee shall be
determined on the basis of the demand to be placed
on the District-wide water system. The fee will be
determined on the basis of the size of the water
meter required, as set forth in Section 27 of the
Code. The fee shall be determined by multiplying
the demand factor for the meter size, as set forth
in Section 28 of the Code, by the annexation fee per
EDU. See Appendix A, Section 9 for fees.
9-4
C. Sewer Annexation Fees
1. Improvement District Annexation. All annexation
for sewer service shall be into Improvement
District No. 18 on or after December 16, 1998.
2. Open Space to be Annexed. Open space lands shall
not be excluded from annexations of land to a
sewer improvement district.
3. Effective Date. Annexation fees shall be
collected on all lands annexing to a sewer
improvement district on or after December 16,
1998.
4. Basis for Determination. For annexations of land
to a sewer improvement district within the Dis-
trict, the petitioner shall pay an annexation fee.
The fee shall be determined on the basis of the
demand to be placed on the District sewer system.
The fee shall be paid at the time of sewer service
connection request or General Manager's approval
of plans, whichever occurs earlier. The extent of
the demand will be determined on the basis of each
equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) of service which is
to be connected to the District sewer system. The
number of EDUs prescribed in Section 53 of the
Code shall be the basis for computation of the
amount of the annexation fee. The fee will be
determined by multiplying the number of EDUs by
the annexation fee per EDU. See Appendix A,
Section 9 for fees.
This annexation fee shall constitute the "base
rate" on June 7, 2017. The base rate shall be
adjusted on the first day of each calendar quarter
for fluctuations in construction costs as measured
by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost
Index for the Los Angeles Region. The ENR
Construction Cost Index of 11,555.03 (as of April
1, 2017) shall be deemed the "base index." The
adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the
percentage change in the ENR Construction Cost
Index from the base index for the period from
April 1, 2017 to the date of payment.
D. Detachment Fees
For each detachment of land from an improvement
district, the petitioner shall pay such fees as
the General Manager determines are appropriate for
the detachment. Determinations shall be made by
the General Manager on a case-by-case basis.
9-5
9.05 TAXATION OF PROPERTY AFTER ANNEXATION TO IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT
Where property is annexed by a petitioner, other than a
tax-exempt agency, the property in the annexed area shall be
subject to taxation after the annexation thereof for the
purposes of the improvement district, including the payment
of principal and interest on bonds and other obligations of
the improvement district authorized and outstanding at the
time of the annexation. The Board of Directors shall
provide as a condition of the annexation that the annexed
area shall be subject to taxation as if the property had
always been a part of the improvement district.
9.06 OTHER CONDITIONS OF ANNEXATION
By annexing to the District the owners and
representatives of the annexing land agree, on behalf of
themselves and all future owners and occupants of the
annexed lands, to comply with all laws, statutes, policies,
plans, conditions and requirements applicable to the
services provided by the District to such lands, including
without limitation any conservation or local supply use
requirements.

excavation permit fee.
B. Basis for Determination of Connection Fees and Charges.
The fees and charges shall be determined as follows:
For permanent water meters, including potable or
recycled irrigation service, the total water
connection fee shall be determined on the basis of the
demand to be placed on the District water system. The
extent of demand will be determined on the basis of
the size of the water meter, as set forth in Section
27 of the Code. For individually metered residential
fire service, as outlined in Section 38.03 of the
Code, the size and fee would be set based on water use
requirements without additional fire capacity. The
water connection fee will be determined by multiplying
the demand factor for the meter size, as set forth
below, by the total of the District-wide capacity fee.

sold, transferred, or assigned separately from ownership of the
real property for which they were obtained, unless otherwise
stated in an agreement with the District.
53.10 DEFINITIONS OF RESIDENTIAL AND MULTI-RESIDENTIAL SEWER SERVICE
RATES, CHARGES AND FEES
All District sewer rates, charges, and fees are subject to Board
approval of rate increases to residential and multi-residential
sewer services billed on or after January 1, 2014 and may apply
to sewer services as early as the beginning of December 2013 and
periodically thereafter through December 31, 2018. The
increases shall be the amount sufficient to cover cost increases
53-7
related to operation and maintenance, but not to exceed 10% per
year.
Five-year Periodic Pass-through Rate Increases or Decreases from
District Wholesalers - All District sewer rates, charges, and
fees are subject to periodic rate changes from the District’s
public agency wholesalers for a five-year period beginning
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018.
Set-up Fees for Accounts - A set-up fee (see Appendix A, Section
53 for fee) shall be charged for each account transferred to
another customer.
Winter Average Determination - Sewer service usage fee shall be
based on the “Winter Average” water consumption, measured in
units of hundred cubic feet (HCF). The winter average period is
January through April. The winter average is calculated by
adding the four months of water consumption for the preceding
winter and dividing the resulting amount by four. This average
is then reduced by a 15% usage discount, recognizing that not
all water used flows into the sewer system, to determine the
“Winter Average” for billing purposes see Appendix A, Section
53.
Usage Fee - The usage fee rate (see Appendix A, Section 53) is
multiplied by the “Winter Average” calculation for each customer
(after the above noted 15% discount) and the resulting amount is
added to the System Fee applicable to the size of meter. The
resulting fixed fee shall be charged on a monthly basis for an
entire calendar year, until a new “Winter Average” is determined
for the following year.
Residential Sewer System Fee - The monthly system fee is set
forth in Appendix A, Section 53.
A. Residential Rate Charges
1. Defined as: Sewer service for individually metered
residential households.
2. The monthly sewer bill is calculated by adding the
system fee plus the usage fee as described in 53.10
above.
3. The maximum “Winter Average” for individually metered
residential customers is 30 units (after the 15%
discount).
4. Monthly Residential Sewer Rate without Consumption
History: The average residential sewer rate shall be
determined by calculating the total usage fee for all
53-8
residential customers and dividing by the number of
residential customers. Then the monthly average usage
fee is added to the system fee and this shall be used
to determine the total monthly fee to be used for
residential customers with no prior winter consumption,
customers using well water or other unmetered water.
See Appendix A, Section 53.
B. Multi-Residential Rate Charges
1. Defined as: Sewer service for master metered water
service for multiple-residential households including
for example; duplex, townhomes, apartments, and mobile
homes.
2. The monthly sewer bill for the complex is calculated by
adding a system fee based on meter size (as set forth
in Appendix A, Section 53) plus the usage fee (as set
forth in Appendix A, Section 53) multiplied by the
winter average, for the entire complex. Note: There is
no cap on consumption for the multi-residential
customers.
3. Monthly Multi-Residential Sewer Rate without
Consumption History: The multi-residential sewer rate
shall be determined by calculating the total usage fee
for all multi-residential customers and dividing by the
number of multi-residential dwelling units. The usage
fee per dwelling unit is multiplied by the new
customer’s number of dwelling units and this shall be
added to the monthly system fee, based on meter size,
to determine the monthly rate. This is applicable to
new complexes that do not have a prior winter
consumption history. See Appendix A, Section 53.
53.11 DEFINITIONS OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SEWER SERVICE RATES,
CHARGES AND FEES
All District sewer rates, charges, and fees are subject to Board
approval of rate increases to commercial and industrial sewer
services billed on or after January 1, 2014 and may apply to
sewer services as early as the beginning of December 2013 and
periodically thereafter through December 31, 2018. The
increases shall be the amount sufficient to cover cost increases
related to operation and maintenance, but not to exceed 10% per
year.
Five-year Periodic Pass-through Rate Increases or Decreases from
District Wholesalers - All District sewer rates, charges, and
fees are subject to periodic rate changes from the District’s
public agency wholesalers for a five-year period beginning
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018.
53-9
Set-up Fees for Accounts - A set-up fee (see Appendix A, Section
53 for fee) shall be charged for each account transferred to
another customer.
Average Annual Consumption - The Average Annual Consumption,
measured in units of hundred cubic feet (HCF). The annual
consumption period is January through December of the preceding
year divided by the number of months of consumption. This
average is reduced by a 15% usage discount which recognizes that
not all water used flows into the sewer system.
Usage Fee - The usage fee rate (see Appendix A, Section 53 for
rate) is determined by the commercial customer’s sewer strength
category in which they are assigned (low strength, medium
strength or high strength).
System Fee - The monthly system fee is determined by the
commercial customer’s water meter size (as set forth in Appendix
A, Section 53).
Strength Factor - The State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) has grouped commercial customers into various categories
and has identified Strength Factors for each of these business
categories. The standard of measure for Strength Factors is the
typical sewer strength of a single‐family residence (SFR). A SFR
has strength factor of 1. (As set forth in Appendix A, Section
53)
A. Commercial Rate Charges
1. The monthly sewer bill for commercial sewer customers
is calculated by multiplying the average annual
consumption, reduced by 15%, by the usage fee based on
strength (as set forth in Appendix A, Section 53) plus
the monthly system fee based on the customer’s water
meter size.
2. For new commercial sewer customers without consumption
history, staff shall make a determination of the
average annual consumption to be used until a year’s
consumption data can be collected. The determination
shall be based on the prior owner or tenant of the
sewer connection, or based on the most similar type of
current business operation. If the customer does not
agree with staff’s recommendation, the customer may
request an adjustment, in writing, and direct it to
the General Manager.
B. Industrial and Other Users
1. Charges determined by the Board of Directors on a
case-by-case basis.
53-10
Monthly sewer service charges shall commence upon
installation of the water meter to serve the premises
receiving the sewer service, upon connection to the District
sewer system, upon start of occupancy of the premises to be
served, or one year after the date the application for sewer
service is filed. If a sewer service connection has been
obtained and if sewer service will not be used until
sometime after installation of the water meter, commencement
of the sewer service charge may be deferred until the later
date only upon prior approval of the General Manager.
C. Commercial User Classifications
Commercial sewer service customers are subject to periodic
inspection of the premises by the District for verification
of proper sewer strength classification. In addition to
such periodic inspections, strength classifications will be
reviewed periodically, at the discretion of the District.
If warranted following a periodic inspection, periodic
classification review, or a change in the nature of a
customer’s business and/or use of the property, customers
may be reclassified to reflect their current business
operations and proper sewer strength, at the discretion of
the District and consistent with the standards set forth
herein and in the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) listing for sewer strength.
1. Low-Strength Commercial = 1.0 Strength Factor
Car wash
General office and buildings

upon presentment to the bank upon which it is drawn.
53.13 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
A. Requirement of Deposit Due to Repeated Delinquencies: If
payments on a customer account have become delinquent five
or more times, the General Manager, Chief Financial Officer,
or any person delegated by the General Manager, shall be
authorized to require the customer to make a deposit with
the District, in cash or any other form satisfactory to the

date of demand for a deposit.
B. Handling of Deposit: A deposit shall not earn interest and
shall only be applied to reduce or satisfy amounts due the
District in the event of termination of service. A deposit
does not constitute payment for service bills and the
customer shall be required to comply with bill payment
requirements to continue receiving service.
C. Refund of Deposit: A deposit required under this Section
shall be refunded to the customer as provided in Section
25.04 B.

Subject: Final Report Updated Capacity Fees, New Water Supply, and Annexation Fees for
Water and Sewer
Dear Mr. Koeppen:
HDR was retained by the Otay Water District (District) to develop cost-based capacity, new
supply and annexation fees for the water and sewer utilities. Enclosed please find HDR’s final
report for this analysis. The conclusions and recommendations contained within this report
should enable the District to implement cost-based water and sewer, capacity and annexation
fees that meet the District’s financial goals and objectives. The District has historically
established cost-based fees and this report is a continuation of those past practices.
This report has been prepared using “generally accepted” financial, rate setting, and
engineering principles. The District’s financial, budgeting and engineering data were the
primary sources for much of the data contained in this report. This report was developed with
significant participation and input by District management and staff.
HDR appreciates the assistance provided by the District’s management team and staff in the
development of this report. We also appreciate the opportunity to assist the District in this
matter.
Very truly yours,

Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fees Updates
Introduction
HDR was retained by Otay Water District (District) to review and update the capacity and
annexation fees for the water and sewer utilities. The purpose of capacity fees is to recover the
costs of public facilities in existence at the time the fee is imposed and for new public facilities
to be acquired or constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to the person or
property being charged. These fees are charged to new customers connecting to the system, or
the incremental increase for existing customers increasing their demands compared to value of
their existing (pre-expansion) capacity.
The District’s current capacity fees were last formally updated in 2014. By establishing cost-
based capacity fees, the District is being proactive and taking an important step in providing
adequate infrastructure to meet growth-related needs, and more importantly, providing this
required infrastructure to new customers in a cost-based, fair and equitable manner.
The District currently has capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees for water and
capacity, and annexation fees for sewer. As noted above, the fees were analyzed and formally
updated in 2014. Since 2014, the annexation fees, new water supply and capacity fees have
been updated quarterly based on the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR-
CCI) for Los Angeles. The capacity fees were recently updated as of March 2017 ENR-CCI and
the fees are effective April 1, 2017.
Summary and Conclusions
The capacity fees are based on the existing infrastructure and future capital improvements
needed to serve growth divided by the number of equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) that will be
served by the new capacity. For the capacity fees, the District has previously used the
“combined methodology” for calculating the fees. This methodology is in conformance with
generally accepted rate making practices and is based on the District’s water and sewer system
planning and design criteria. The calculations also take into account the financing mechanisms
of capital improvements. Based on the sum of the existing and future component costs, the net
allowable utility capacity fee is determined. “Net” refers to the “gross” new development
capacity fee, net of any debt service credits. “Allowable” refers to the concept that the
calculated capacity fees are the District’s maximum cost-based charge. The District, as a matter
of policy, may charge any amount up to the cost-based capacity fee, but not over that amount.
Charging an amount greater than the allowable capacity fee would not meet the nexus test of
the capacity fee being reasonably related to the impact placed upon the system by the new
connecting customer.
Capacity fees must be assessed or administered according to the capacity requirement or
impact each new development places upon the utility system. This way, the capacity fee is

related to the impact the customer places on the system, and to the benefit the customer
derives from the service provided.
The existing and maximum allowable capacity and new water supply fee for the water utility
system, as calculated within this report, for a new single-family residential 3/4” meter
connection is presented in Table ES-1. The maximum allowable fee has been adjusted to reflect
the recent ENR adjustment made in March 2017. Further detail of the derivation of this fee can
be found in Section 4 of this report.

New Water Supply Fee 1,064.11 798.84
Total Fee $9,654.45 $8,158.05
It should be noted that larger sized meters (i.e., requiring greater capacity) pay a greater dollar
amount, based on industry established (American Water Works Association – AWWA) meter
equivalency factors. The capacity fees for all meter sizes for the District’s capacity fee schedule
are presented in Section 4 of this report.
The existing and proposed sewer capacity fee, as calculated within this study, is based on an
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis. For the sewer utility, an EDU is calculated to reflect the
capacity of a single-family home to provide sewer service, rather than meter size which may not
reflect the sewer demands placed on the system. In this way, the number of EDU’s better
reflects the capacity impacts the customer has placed upon the sewer system. Provided below
in Table ES-2 is a summary of the current and proposed sewer capacity fee per EDU.

contributed equally to the District’s water and sewer system. The calculation of the District’s
annexation fees is based on the original value of 1% General Tax and availability charges
received to date, escalated to present day values based on the Consumer Price Index, from San
Diego, from 1959 to present (through 2016). The existing and proposed annexation fees are
shown below in Table ES-3.

Summary
The capacity and annexation fees developed and presented in this report are based on the
planning and engineering design criteria of the District’s water and sewer systems, the value of
the existing assets, past financing of the system and “generally accepted” ratemaking
principles. Adoption of the proposed water capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees
and the sewer capacity, and annexation fees will provide multiple benefits to the District and
will continue the District’s practice of establishing equitable and cost-based fees for new
customers connecting to or requiring additional/expanded capacity in the District’s utility
systems.
Introduction 4
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fees Update
“By establishing cost-based
capacity fees the District
maintains an approach of
having “growth pay for
growth” and existing utility
customers should, for the most
part, be sheltered from the
financial impacts of growth.”
1.1 Introduction
HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) was retained by the Otay Water District (District) to review and
update the District’s capacity, new water supply fee, and annexation fee for the water utility
and the capacity, and annexation fee for the sewer utility. The objective of this study is to
calculate cost-based capacity fees for new customers connecting to water or sewer system, or
for those existing customers requiring additional capacity in the District’s water and sewer
systems. These fees provide the means of balancing the cost
requirements for utility infrastructure between existing
customers and new customers. The portion of existing
infrastructure and future capital improvements that will
provide service (i.e., capacity) to new customers is included
in the calculation of the capacity fees. In contrast to this, the
District has future capital improvement projects that are
related to renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure
in service. These infrastructure costs are included within the
rates of the water and sewer service fees charged to the District’s customers, and are not
included within the calculation of the proposed capacity fees. By establishing cost-based
capacity fees the District maintains an approach of having “growth pay for growth” and existing
utility customers should, for the most part, be sheltered from the financial impacts of growth.
1.2 Organization of Report
This report documents the methodology, approach and technical analysis undertaken by HDR
and the District to develop the District’s capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees for
water and sewer. The report is divided into five sections. Section 1 provides a brief
introduction and overview of the study. Given this brief introduction, Section 2 provides an
overview of the development of capacity fees and the criteria and general methodology that
should be used to calculate and establish cost-based fees. Next, Section 3 provides a general
overview of the requirements under California law for determining capacity fees. Section 4
reviews the District specific calculations of the cost-based water and sewer capacity fees and
the new water supply fee. Finally, Section 5 provides a summary of the water and sewer
annexation fees.
1.3 Disclaimer
HDR, in its calculation of the capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees for water and
sewer presented in this report, has used “generally accepted” engineering and ratemaking
principles. This should not be construed as a legal opinion with respect to California law. HDR
recommends that the District have its legal counsel review the new water supply, capacity and
annexation fees for water and sewer as set forth in this report to ensure compliance with
California law.
Introduction
Overview of the Capacity Fees 5
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
2.1 Introduction
An important starting point in establishing capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees is
to have a basic understanding of the purpose of these fees, along with the criteria and general
methodology that is used to establish cost-based fees. Presented in this section of the report is
an overview of these fees and the general criteria and methodologies that are used to develop
cost-based capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees.
2.2 Defining Capacity, New Water Supply, and Annexation Fees
The first step in establishing cost-based capacity, new water supply and annexation fees is to
gain a better understanding of the definition of a system development charge (SDC) (i.e., a
capacity fee). For the purposes of this report, an SDC (capacity fee) is defined as follows:
“System development charges (capacity fees) are one-time charges paid by new
development to finance construction of public facilities needed to serve them.”1
Simply stated, capacity fees are a contribution of capital to either reimburse existing customers
for the available capacity in the existing system, or help finance planned future growth-related
capacity improvements. At some utilities, capacity fees may be referred to as system
development charges, impact fees, connection charges, plant/infrastructure investment fees,
etc. Regardless of the label used to identify them, their objective is the same. That is, these
charges are intended to provide funds to the utility to finance all or a part of the existing or new
capital improvements needed to serve and accommodate new customer growth. Absent those
fees, many utilities would likely be unwilling to build growth-related facilities (i.e., burden
existing rate payers with the entire cost of growth-related capacity expansion).
In the specific case of the District, annexation fees are a separate fee applied to new outside-
District connections to account for the contributions existing District customers have made to
the system through payment of general taxes and availability fees over the years. New outside
District customers pay a one-time fee based on past general taxes, availability fees and past
debt payments (for sewer) that bring the new outside-District customer connecting to the
District’s system to an equal financial footing with existing customers of sharing the cost of
developing the utility systems to provide services.

nexus” between the
amount of infrastructure
necessary to provide
service and the charge to
the customer.”
2.3 Economic Theory and Capacity, New Water Supply and
Annexation Fees
Capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees are generally imposed as a condition of
service. The objective of a capacity fee is not merely to generate money for a utility, but to
ensure that all customers seeking to connect to or requiring additional capacity in the utility’s
system bear an equitable share of the cost of capacity that is invested in both the existing
system and any future growth-related expansions. Through the implementation of fair and
equitable capacity fees, existing customers should not be unduly burdened with the cost of new
development.
By establishing cost-based fees, the District will be taking an important step in providing
adequate infrastructure to meet growth-related needs, and more importantly, providing this
required infrastructure to new customers in a cost-based, fair and equitable manner.
2.4 Capacity, New Water Supply and Annexation Fee Criteria
In the determination and establishment of the capacity fees, a number of different criteria are
often utilized. The criteria often used by utilities to determine these fees are as follows:
x Customer understanding
x System planning criteria
x Financing criteria, and
x State/local laws
Annexation fees differ from capacity and new water supply fees in that annexation fees are
based solely on fees and taxes previously paid by other customers. In that sense, system
planning criteria does not apply to annexation fees. Capacity and new water supply fees are
based on capacity needs of new customers, capacity available in the system, and the cost to
provide a unit of capacity. With these differences in mind, a majority of the discussion below
relates primarily to capacity and new water supply fees.
The criteria “customer understanding” implies that the fee should be easy to understand. This
criterion has implications on the ways in which the fees are implemented and assessed to the
customer. For water systems, the fee is generally based on meter size or specific customer
usage (demands). The other implication of this criterion is that the methodology is clear and
concise in its calculation of the amount of infrastructure necessary to provide service.
The use of system planning criteria is one of the more important
aspects in the determination of the new water supply and
capacity fees. System planning criteria provides the “rational
nexus” between the amount of infrastructure necessary to
provide service and the assessment of the fees (charge) to the
customer. The rational nexus test requires that there be a
connection (nexus) established between the burden of new
development on the existing or new or expanded facilities
required to accommodate new or expanded development, and
Overview of the Capacity Fees 7
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
the appropriate apportionment of the cost to the new or expanded development in relation to
benefits reasonably received.
To comply with the rational nexus test the calculated fees require the following:
1. “A connection be established between new development and the new or expanded
facilities required to accommodate such development. This establishes the rational basis
of public policy.
2. Identification of the cost of these new or expanded facilities needed to accommodate
new development. This establishes the burden to the public of providing new facilities to
new development and the rational basis on which to hold new development accountable
for such costs. This may be determined using the so-called Banberry factors. [Banberry
Development Company v. South Jordan City (631 P.2d 899, Utah 1981)].
3. Appropriate apportionment of that cost to new development in relation to benefits it
reasonably receives. This establishes the nexus between the fees being paid to finance
new facilities that accommodate new development and benefit new development
receives from such new facilities.”2
The first bullet of the rational nexus test requires the establishment of a rational basis of public
policy. This implies the planning and capital improvement studies that are used to establish the
need for new facilities to accommodate growth. Adopted master plans or facility plans should
firmly meet this first test since these plans assess existing facilities and capacity, project future
capacity requirements, and determine the future capital infrastructure and new facilities
needed to accommodate growth.
The second portion of the rational nexus test discusses the Banberry Factors. In summary,
“consideration must be given to seven factors to determine the proportionate share of costs to
be borne by new development:
1. The cost of existing facilities
2. The means by which existing facilities have been financed
3. The extent to which new development has already contributed to the cost of providing
existing excess capacity
4. The extent to which existing development will, in the future, contribute to the cost of
providing existing facilities used community wide or non-occupants of new development
5. The extent to which new development should receive credit for providing at its cost
facilities the community has provided in the past without charge to other development in
the service area.
6. Extraordinary costs incurred in serving new development
7. The time-price differential inherent in fair comparisons of amount of money paid at
different times.”3

3Ibid, P. 18 and 19.
Overview of the Capacity Fees 8
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
“One of the driving
forces behind
establishing cost-
based capacity fees is
that “growth pays
for growth.”
The final portion of the rational nexus test is the reasonable apportionment of the cost to new
development in relation to benefits it reasonably receives. This is accomplished in the
methodology to establish the capacity and new water supply fees, which is discussed in more
detail within this section.
One of the driving forces behind establishing cost-based capacity fees is that “growth pays for
growth.” Therefore, these fees are typically established as a means of having new customers
and those requiring additional capacity in the utility system pay an
equitable share of the cost of their required infrastructure. The
financing criteria for establishing the fees relates to the method
used to finance infrastructure on the system and assures that
customers are not paying twice for infrastructure – once through the
development fees and again through water or sewer service fees.
The double payment can come in through the imposition of growth-
related infrastructure debt service within a customer’s rates. The
financing criteria also reviews the basis under which main line extensions were provided and
assures that the customer is not charged for infrastructure that was provided (contributed) by
developers.
Many states and local communities have enacted laws which govern the calculation and
imposition of these types of development fees. These laws must be followed in the
development of these types of fees. Most statutes require a “reasonable relationship”
between the fee charged and the cost associated with providing service capacity to the
customer. (California legal requirements are described in Section 3 of this report.) The fees do
not need to be mathematically exact, but must bear a reasonable relationship to the cost
burden imposed and benefits received. As discussed above, the utilization of the planning and
financing criteria and the actual costs of construction and the planned costs of construction
provide the nexus for the reasonable relationship requirement.
2.5 Overview of the Capacity and New Water Supply Fee Methodology
There are “generally-accepted” methodologies that are used to establish capacity and new
water supply fees. Nelson describes eight different methodologies that may be used to
establish capacity and new water supply fees. “They include:
1. Market capacity method
2. Prototypical system method
3. Growth-related cost allocation method
4. Recoupment value method, also known as the buy-in method
5. Replacement cost method
6. Marginal cost method
7. Average cost method
8. System-wide and growth-related cost-attribution method”4
4Ibid., P. 71.
Overview of the Capacity Fees 9
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
As Nelson notes, each of these methods may have certain advantages and disadvantages and
should be applied in a manner that reflects the specific circumstances and conditions of the
utility. As an example, a utility which has significant capacity in its existing system and can
accommodate future growth would likely use the recoupment (buy-in) method. In contrast to
this, a utility with no existing capacity which requires expansion of capacity to accommodate
growth could potentially use the growth-related cost allocation method or the marginal cost
method. For utilities that have some existing capacity available to serve a portion of new
development, but must build additional capacity to serve all future development, the system-
wide and growth-related attribution method may be appropriate. In the case of the District,
this is essentially the circumstance for water and sewer, in which there is available capacity, but
also the need for future expansion to accommodate new customers.
Regardless of the overall methodology selected, a common denominator of the technical
analyses is the various steps undertaken. These steps are as follows:
x Determination of system planning criteria
x Determination of equivalent dwelling unit equivalents (EDUs)
x Calculation of existing system costs
x Determination of any credits
The first step in establishing capacity fees is the determination of the system planning criteria.
This implies calculating the amount of water or sewer capacity required by a single-family
residential customer. For water systems, water demand per equivalent meter is most often
used, since this represents the basis for system design, and subsequent customer demands that
are placed on the system. The number of existing customers is expressed in equivalent meter
units. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has a standardized method for
determining meter equivalency for larger meter sizes5. These equivalency factors are based on
the maximum safe operating capacity of the meters. The gallons per minute (GPM) rate at 80%
of maximum flow was updated by the District on 9/21/12, Ordinance No. 534, Section 27.
Provided below in Table 2-1 is a summary of the meter equivalency factors used to establish the
District’s proposed water capacity fees.
5 AWWA M-1 Manual, 6th Edition, p. 326

Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
[1] GPM rate at 80% of maximum flow updated 9/21/12 Ordinance No. 534, Section 27.
[2] Demand factor Ordinance No. 534, Section 28.
For example, a 3/4-inch meter has a demand factor of one (1) and a 2-inch meter has a demand
factor of 8, therefore a 2-inch meter has 8 times the demand capacity of a 3/4-inch meter. .
These demand factors, for each meter size, are then used to develop the proposed water
capacity fee for customers based on the meter size which reflects the demands they place on
the system when compared to a typical single family customer. The District’s current capacity
fees are based on these same demand or meter equivalency factors.
For the sewer system, the amount of flow for one dwelling unit is determined and used to
assess the number of equivalent dwelling units, or EDUs. The number of dwelling unit
equivalents or equivalent meters can be determined based on the assumed or estimated single
family requirements. Once again, this approach provides the needed linkage between the
amounts of infrastructure necessary to provide service to a set number of customers.
Once the number of equivalent meters, or capacity components for the system are determined,
a component by component analysis is undertaken to determine the portion of the capacity fee
attributable to each component in dollars per equivalent meter. In this process, the existing
assets must be valued. Existing assets may be valued in a number of different ways. These
methods may include the following:
9 Original Cost (OC)
9 Original Cost Less Depreciation (OCLD)
9 Replacement Cost New (RCN)
9 Replacement Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD)

Overview of the Capacity Fees 11
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
Given these four different methods for valuing the assets, the selection of the valuation
method certainly arises. The American Water Works Association M-1 manual notes the
following concerning these various generally accepted valuation methods:
“Using the OC and OCLD valuations, the [capacity fee] reflects the original investment in
the existing capacity. The new customer “buys in” to the capacity at the OC or the net
book value cost (OCLD) for the facilities and as a result pays an amount similar to what
the existing customers paid for the capacity (OC) or the remaining value of the original
investment (OCLD).
Using the RCN and the RCNLD valuations, the [capacity fee] reasonably reflects the cost
of providing new expansion capacity to customers as if the capacity was added at the
time the new customers connected to the water system. It may be also thought of as a
valuation method to fairly compensate the existing customers for the carrying costs of
the excess capacity built into the system in advance of when the new customers connect
to the system. This is because, up to the point of the new customer connecting to the
system, the existing customers have been financially responsible for the carrying costs of
that excess capacity that is available to development.”6
As a point of reference for this study, the District’s capacity fee analysis will use a RCNLD
methodology for all assets and the District references this as “reproduction” not “replacement”
cost in the study. The District’s existing assets are escalated to current dollars using a cost
index (e.g. the Engineering New Record, Construction Cost Index; ENR-CCI) and then
depreciated using a simple straight-line method based on the useful life of each historical asset,
respectively. The pipes are valued at “replacement” cost based on current inventory of the
system at the current time and a current dollar per lineal foot. This value is also depreciated
and is referred to as “replacement” cost.
After the existing infrastructure is analyzed then the future expansion projects are added to the
total cost component. This total existing and future cost is divided by the total existing and
future equivalent meters to determine the “gross capacity fee”. The last step in the calculation
of the capacity fee is the determination of any credits. This is generally a calculation to assure
that customers are not paying twice о once through capacity fees and again within the local
water and sewer rates.
2.6 Summary
This section of the report has provided an overview of capacity, new water supply, and
annexation fees; the basis for establishing cost-based fees, considerations in establishing the
fees, the burden development places on the system and the steps typically taken in the
development of the technical analyses. In the development of the District’s capacity, new
water supply, and annexation fee study, the issues identified in this section of the report have
been addressed and will be discussed in more detail in later sections of the report. The next
section of the report provides a brief overview of the legal considerations in establishing
capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees as they relate to California law.

3.1 Introduction
An important consideration in developing capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees is
any legal requirements at the state or local level. The legal requirements often establish the
methodology around which the capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees must be
calculated or how the funds must be used. Given that, it is important for the District to
understand these legal requirements and develop and adopt fees which comply with those
legal requirements. This section of the report provides an overview of the legal requirements
for establishing capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees under California law. A
discussion of the applicability of Proposition 218 and Proposition 26, as it relates to these fees,
is also provided.
The discussion within this section of the report is intended to be a summary of our
understanding of the relevant California law as it relates to establishing capacity, new water
supply, and annexation fees. It in no way constitutes a legal interpretation of California law by
HDR.
3.2 Requirements under California Law
Many states have established specific laws regarding the establishment, calculation and
implementation of capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees. The main objective of
most state laws is to have these types of fees established in such a manner that they are fair,
equitable and cost-based. In other cases, state legislation may have been needed to provide
the legislative powers to the utility to establish the charges.
The laws for the enactment of capacity fees in California are codified in California Government
Code sections 66013, 66016, and 66022, which are interspersed
within the ‘Mitigation Fee Act.’ The Mitigation Fee Act is
comprehensive legislation dealing mainly with development
impact fees, although the above sections set forth the various
requirements for imposition of capacity charges in California:
calculation of the fees, noticing, accounting and reporting
requirements, and processes for judicial review. Although
contained within the Mitigation Fee Act, capacity fees are not
development fees.
Legal Considerations in Establishing
Fees for the District
Legal Considerations in Establishing Fees for the District 13
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee updates
A summary of the relevant statutes required in the calculation of capacity fees is as follows:
“66013 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency imposes
fees for water connections or sewer connections, or imposes capacity charges, those fees
or charges shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fee or charge is imposed, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee or
charge imposed in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or
materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those
electors voting on the issue.”
“66013 (b) (3) ‘Capacity charge’ means a charge for facilities in existence at the time a
charge is imposed or charges for new facilities to be constructed in the future that are of
benefit to the person or property being charged. . . .”
In addition to the determination of “the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fee is imposed,” California law also requires the following:
x That notice (of the time and place of the meeting, including a general explanation of the
matter to be considered) and a statement that certain data is available be mailed to
those who filed a written request for such notice;
x That certain data (the estimated cost to provide the service and anticipated revenue
sources) be made available to the public;
x That the public agency provide an opportunity for public input at an open and public
meeting to adopt or modify the fee; and
x That revenue in excess of actual cost be used to reduce the fee creating the excess.
The basic principle that needs to be followed under California law is that the charge be based
on a proportionate share of the costs of the system required to provide service and that the
requirements for adoptions and accounting be followed in compliance with California law.
For annexation fees, California has provided the authority to charge an availability charge for
water and sewer utilities. Within the California water code Section 71631.6 there is a provision
for availability charges, as follows:
“71631.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 71631, in any improvement district
situated within the Otay Municipal Water District in San Diego County, the standby
assessment or availability charge shall not exceed thirty dollars ($30) per acre per year
for land on which the charge is levied or ten dollars ($10) per year for a parcel less than
one acre. In any such improvement district the proceeds from any standby assessment or
availability charge in excess of ten dollars ($10) per acre per year shall only be used for
the purposes of such improvement district. This section, applicable only to the Otay
Municipal Water District of San Diego County, is necessary because of the unique and
special water management problems of the area included within such district.”
Legal Considerations in Establishing Fees for the District 14
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee updates
Additionally, the California Public Utilities Code Section 164751, while not applicable to the
District, provides further authority and clarification of this fee.
“16475.(a) A public utility district which acquires, constructs, owns, operates, controls or
uses works for supplying its inhabitants with water, may, pursuant to the notice, protest,
and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code, fix and collect a water
standby or immediate availability charge on all land within its boundaries to which water is
made available for any purpose by the district, whether the water is actually used or not,
except that such charge shall not supply to lands permanently dedicated exclusively to
transportation of persons or property. If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at
the time a standby charge was established were followed, the district's board of directors
may, by resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in successive years at the
same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the district shall
comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government
Code.
(c) If a person for more than one year obtains substantially all of his or her water
requirements for the contiguous parcels of land which he or she occupies from
rainfall, springs, streams, lakes, rivers, or wells, and if the person's primary economic
activity on such land is the commercial extraction or processing of minerals, such
land shall be exempt from any water standby or availability charges.
d) Any funds derived from the charges levied pursuant to this section may be used by
the district for all purposes which a public utility district is authorized to expend funds
insofar as said purposes relate to the acquisition, construction, operation, control, or
use of works for supplying its inhabitants with water.”
These Sections of California law indicate the authority to levy the availability fee, which is the
key financial input to the annexation fees, properties exempt from such fees, and directives and
authority of how such fee revenue should be used.
3.3 Propositions 218 and 26 and Capacity, New Water Supply, and
Annexation Fees
In 1996, the voters of California approved Proposition 218, which required that the imposition
of certain fees and assessments by municipal governments require a vote of the people to
change or increase the fee or assessment. Of interest in this particular study is the applicability
of Proposition 218 to the establishment of capacity and new water supply fees for the District.
In Richmond v. Shasta Community Services Dist., 32 Cal.4th 409 (2004), the California Supreme
Court held that water capacity fees are not “assessments” under Proposition 218 because they
are imposed only on those who are voluntarily seeking water service, rather than being charged
to particular identified parcels, and therefore such fees are not subject to the procedural or
substantive requirements of Proposition 218. Additionally, the court held that a capacity fee is
1 Generally the Public Utilities Code does not apply to the District.
Legal Considerations in Establishing Fees for the District 15
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee updates
not a development fee. The court also held that such fees can properly be enacted by either
ordinance or resolution.
In November 2010 the voters of California passed Proposition 26, an initiative based state
constitutional amendment that provided a new definition of the term “tax” in the California
Constitution. Under Proposition 26, a fee or charge imposed by a public agency is a tax unless it
meets one of seven exceptions. Capacity fees fall within exception 2 – i.e., it is a charge
imposed for a specific government service. Provided that a capacity fee does not charge one
fee payor more in order to charge another fee payor less (i.e., a cross-subsidy), and it does not
exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service, the fee is not a
tax within the meaning of Proposition 26. Under Proposition 26, the local government bears
the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction
is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the
governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a
fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the
governmental activity.
3.4 Summary
This section of the report has provided an overview of the legal requirements under California
law for the establishment of capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees. As was noted
above, an important legal requirement is that the fees or charges shall not exceed the
estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed. The
next two sections of the report review and discuss the District’s calculation of the fees, and
provides the basis for the establishment of a reasonable cost for the capacity fee.
Determination of the District’s Capacity Fee and New Water Supply Fees 16
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
4.1 Introduction
This section of the report presents the details and key assumptions in the calculation of the
District’s capacity fees for water and sewer and the new water supply fee for water. The
calculation of the District’s capacity and new water supply fees is based upon District specific
accounting and planning information. Specifically, the fees are based upon the District’s fixed
asset records; the District’s current capital improvement plans; existing equivalent dwelling
units (EDUs) and projection of future EDUs. For the water utility, the Water Facilities Master
Plan (Master Plan) Update, as of 2015 was used. As was noted in Section 2 of this report,
planning documents and projections of future EDUs provide the required support for a
“rationally based public policy” to support the imposition of cost-based capacity and new water
supply fees.
To the extent that the cost and timing of future capital improvements change, then the capacity
and new water supply fees presented in this section of the report should be updated to reflect
the changes.
4.2 Overview of the District’s Water and Sewer System
The Otay Water District is a water, recycled water and sewer service provider. The District was
established in 1956. The District is located in the southern portion of San Diego County and the
service area includes both urban and rural development.
The District provides water within 125.5 square miles of the southeastern San Diego County.
The water service planning area comprises three distinct land use planning agencies. They are
the City of San Diego, the City of Chula Vista, and the County of San Diego. It serves the
communities of Spring Valley, La Presa, Rancho San Diego, Jamul, eastern Chula Vista, and
eastern Otay Mesa along the international border of Mexico. Potable water delivered by Otay
Water District is purchased from the San Diego County Water Authority. The San Diego County
Water Authority purchased most of its water from the region’s primary importer, the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (CWA). There are approximately 724 miles
of potable water lines, 40 potable reservoirs, and 21 potable pump stations.
The District provides wastewater service to a portion of the land area within the Jamacha Basin,
which is located within its North District and covers approximately 8,797 acres, which is about
11 percent of the District’s total service area. Approximately 15,200 customers are served
through 6,071 connections. The sewage collection system serves Rancho San Diego, Calavo
Gardens, Singing Hills and portions of Mount Helix within the Upper Sweetwater River Basin,
also known as the Jamacha Basin. The County of San Diego also provides wastewater service in
a portion of the Jamacha Basin. Wastewater flows from each agency’s customers are conveyed
in joint collection and pumping systems. The District is responsible for approximately 88 miles
of sewer line. The District owns and operates the Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation

New Water Supply Fees
Determination of the District’s Capacity Fee and New Water Supply Fees 17
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
Facility (RWCWRF) within the Jamacha Basin. Wastewater flows generated within the Jamacha
Basin are pumped to the RWCWRF and treated to produce recycled water, which is used to
meet a portion of the District’s existing recycled water demand. All remaining flows are
discharged into the Metro System. Wastewater collection, pumping, and treatment costs are
shared between the District and the County as provided in the 1998 agreement between the
Spring Valley Sanitation District (San Diego County) and Otay Water District.
There are two sources of recycled water to the District. The RWCWRF has up to 1.3 MGD
(million gallons per day capacity). The District also has an agreement with the City of San Diego
which allows the District to purchase up to 6.0 MGD of recycled water generated by the City’s
South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP). There are approximately 99 miles of recycled
water lines, 4 recycled water reservoirs, and 3 recycled water pump stations. The District
delivers recycled water to customers through a dedicated distribution system where it is used
to irrigate golf courses, playing fields, public parks, roadside landscapes and open space in
eastern Chula Vista.

For example, single-family, multi-family, condos and mobile homes are charged 1.0 EDU per
unit. Hotels/motels with rooms with no kitchen are charged 0.38 EDUs per unit, while rooms
with kitchens are charged 0.60 EDUs. Commercial uses are charged 1.20 EDUs for the first
1,000 square feet, and 0.70 EDU per 1,000 square feet of additional space.
4.4 Calculation of the District’s Capacity and New Water Supply Fees
As was discussed in Section 2, the process of calculating new water supply fee and capacity fees
is based upon a four-step process. These steps were as follows:
1. Determination of system planning criteria
2. Determination of equivalent dwelling units (EDUs)
3. Calculation of the capacity fees for system costs
4. Determination of any capacity fee credits
Each of these areas is discussed in more detail below.
4.4.1 System Planning Criteria
System planning criteria typically involves calculating the amount of water required by a single-
family residential customer. Water demand represents the basis for system design. The
American Water Works Association (AWWA) has a standardized method for determining
demand factors for larger meter sizes. The number of equivalent meters can be determined
based on AWWA demand factors.
The number of customers by meter size was based on data from the District’s utility billing
system as of December 2016. Table 4-3 shows a summary of the District’s 2016 water service
customers by meter size.

The total number of water service customers by meter size as of December 2016 is 49,249
units.
4.4.2 Equivalent Meter Units
For system planning the number of existing customers, by meter size, is converted to the total
number of equivalent dwelling units (EDUs). This provides the total number of EDUs on the
current system and reflects the total demands placed on the system regardless of the size of
the meter. This is an important point as the District does not specifically know what type (class)
of customer, or size of meter, will connect to the system in the future. Rather, the District is
able to develop a projection of demands and resulting capacity needs based on the projection
of the EDU’s.
To determine the number of EDUs on the current system, the AWWA meter demand factor
(See Table 2-1) and the current number of meters by size (Table 4-3) are used. The number of
dwelling unit equivalents or equivalent meters can be determined based on a single-family
demand factor by meter size. Table 4-4 shows the 2016 water service customers by meter size
converted to a single-family meter equivalency.

Total 49,249 73,467
The total number of equivalent 3/4” meters for the District is 73,467 units. This total will be
used in determination of the capacity and annexation fees.
For the sewer system, the number of EDUs was determined by using the EDUs in the 2010 study
of 6,714, and adding the 43 new connections since 2009, for a total of 6,757 existing EDUs on
the sewer system. Compared to the District’s water system, the sewer system is relatively small
and limited in growth.
4.4.3 Calculation of the Capacity Fee for the Major System Components
The next step of the analysis is to review the major functional system infrastructure to
determine the capacity fee for the system. In calculating the capacity fees for the District,
existing components, debt service for existing facilities, future capital improvements relating to
expansion and capital fund reserves were included. The methodology used to calculate each of
these components is described below.
EXISTING OR BUY-IN COMPONENT – To calculate the value of the existing assets for the buy-in
component, the District’s methodology considered the original cost of each asset. The original
cost of the asset was then adjusted to the value for reproduction cost. The reproduction cost of
each asset was then depreciated to the remaining useful life (i.e. reproduction cost less
depreciation). A reproduction cost method “is appropriate when the system has been
completely built out, or possesses substantial excess capacity to accommodate new
Determination of the District’s Capacity Fee and New Water Supply Fees 21
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
development on a fill-in basis, is in no need of major system upgrades and public officials wish
to recoup financing cost previously incurred.”1
The District provided an asset listing for the various existing components and their installation
dates. As was noted in Section 2, there are different methods for valuing existing assets. In this
case, a reproduction cost new less depreciation method was used. To accomplish this, the
original cost of each asset was escalated to current, March, 2017 dollars, based on the
Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the Los Angeles area published in the City Engineering News &
Record (ENR). Then, based on the installation date and an estimated useful life provided by the
District for each asset, the reproduction cost for each asset was depreciated.
Pipelines were valued at replacement cost new less depreciation. The length and size of pipe
was multiplied by an average replacement cost per inch diameter of $25. Including the recycled
water components, the total water capacity related eligible plant is approximately $642.5
million. The total wastewater capacity related eligible plant is approximately $31.5 million. The
valuation of the existing assets can be seen on Exhibit W-1 for water and Exhibit S-1 for sewer
of the Technical Appendix.
Given the value of the assets, the next step was to determine the portion of the project costs
that were deemed eligible to be included in the calculation of the capacity fee. The term
“capacity fee eligible” simply describes the amount of the asset to be included within the
calculation of the fee. Within this study, meters, older computers, and miscellaneous other
operational cost items that appeared to be nearly depreciated were not included in the
capacity fee calculation. The final value of the assets was reduced by the amount of future
principal on the debt associated with the assets as the principal will be recovered via the debt
service component within the District’s rates.
DEBT SERVICE COMPONENT - In addition to the buy-in component, a debt service component was
also developed. This component accounts for the principal on existing assets. The remaining
principal portion of the debt associated with the assets was deducted from the total eligible
asset value prior to calculating the capacity fee. This inclusion of a “debt service credit” avoids
double charging the customer for the asset value in the existing or buy-in component of the
capacity charge, and also in the debt service component of the rates. The principal portion of
the debt service balance on existing assets is removed from the value prior to calculating the
buy-in portion of the fee. By segregating the debt service out, the cost can be clearly identified
and calculated appropriately
The District has six outstanding issues for the water system. They are the 1996, and 2010A
Certificates of Participation, 2009 General Obligation Bond, 2010 Build America Bonds, 2013
Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, and the 2016 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds. The District’s
total outstanding principal is $98.7 million, which is all related to water. Details of the debt
service are shown on Exhibit W-1 and W-3A. The sewer system has a $3 million anticipated
debt in 2018, which is shown on Exhibit S-3B.

Publishers, New York, 1995, P. 77

Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
OTHER COMPONENTS - In addition to the existing or buy-in component and debt service
component, capital fund reserves, past interest payments from 1959 to 2008 which were not
previously capitalized (net of depreciation at 50 year average life) were determined to be
capacity fee related. These components are considered to be asset valuation adjustments to
the overall water and sewer systems since they are capacity infrastructure costs that relate to
the water and sewer systems as a whole. The total capacity eligible fund reserve is $22 million
for water. Past interest payments, net of depreciation, is $36 million for water and $8.8 million
for sewer. Further detail can be seen on Exhibit W-1, W-3B and W-4 for water and S-1, S-3B
and S-4 for sewer of the Technical Appendix.
FUTURE COMPONENTS – An important requirement for a capacity fee study is the connection
between the anticipated future growth on the system and the needed facilities required to
accommodate that growth. For purposes of this study, the District’s most current Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) was provided. District staff reviewed the existing capital improvement
plan and updated it with the best available information. The projects necessary to meet
demand for the water system were included in the CIP, along with a projection of the number
of future EDUs. For the sewer system, it was determined that no expansion projects are
needed at this time to meet the needs of projected growth within the current sewer
boundaries.
The updated water and recycled CIP detailed projects as expansion, betterment, new supply or
replacement projects. Capital improvements that were expansion related were included in the
capacity fee calculation. The Board has placed a permanent moratorium on expanding the
recycled water system to the Otay Mesa region of the District. Therefore the Otay Mesa
recycled expansion projects were not included in the fee under this permanent moratorium.
Exhibit W-6 of the Water Technical Appendix contains the details of this portion of the fee.
4.5 Allowable Capacity and New Water Supply Fees
Based on the sum of the component costs calculated above, the allowable water and sewer
capacity fee were determined. “Allowable” refers to the concept that the calculated capacity
fees shown on Table 4-5 are the District’s cost-based water capacity fees. The District, as a
matter of policy, may charge any amount up to the allowable capacity fee, but not over that
amount. Charging an amount greater than the allowable capacity fee would not meet the
nexus test of a cost-based capacity fee. Details are provided in Exhibit W-7 for water and S-7
for sewer of the Technical Appendix.

Total Allowable Capacity Fee per 3/4” Equivalent Meter $7,359.21
As can be seen in Table 4-5, the calculated water capacity fee was determined to be $7,359.21
for a 3/4” meter equivalency. This calculated fee can then be placed in the context of the size
of meter. The water capacity fee varies based upon the safe maximum operating capacity of
the customer’s meter, which is summarized later in Table 4-7.
Table 4-6 shows the new water supply fee calculation. This fee used the same methodology as
described above, but is based only on future CIP projects that were identified as necessary for
new water supply. The cost of these future projects were divided by the projected growth they
are estimated to serve, to determine a total allowable new water supply fee per EDU for an
equivalent meter.

As can be seen in Table 4-7, the Water Capacity Fee is $7,359.21 for a 3/4” meter and the New
Water Supply Fee is $798.84. The capacity and new water supply fee varies based upon the
safe maximum operating capacity of the customer’s meter. The capacity charges for the larger
meter sizes are determined by multiplying the capacity charge for a 3/4” meter by the meter
equivalency factors (i.e., relative capacities).
The District’s current fee schedule has a separate fee for the Triad Development area. For this
study, District staff researched the purpose of the fee reduction back to its inception and
determined that when the Triad Development initially was developed the developers paid for
the storage the area would need. Therefore, the capacity fees for the Triad area are credited
against the portion of the fee that relates to potable water storage. HDR reviewed the discount
provided to the Triad area and concluded that the discount of approximately 25% of the fee
fairly reflects the time value of the $17 million paid for storage facilities. This is also consistent
with the District’s current approach to providing a Triad credit on the fees.
Table 4-8 presents the calculated water capacity fees along with the reduced Triad
Development fees. New connections within the Triad area still pay the annexation fee (as
appropriate) and the new water supply fee, as presented within this report.

SEWER CAPACITY FEES – The allowable sewer capacity fee is shown below in Table 4-9. There were
no future sewer capacity related projects. There is available capacity within the existing sewer
system to serve the anticipated growth on the system. Details of this calculation are provided
in Exhibit S-7 of the Technical Appendix.

Table 4-10 provides a summary of the calculated and allowable sewer capacity fees by the
number of EDUs, based on Section 53.09 of the District’s Code. The District’s current resolution
also specifies that customers within an ID area would not pay the “annexation fee”. Since the
current sewer annexation fee is actually the buy-in capacity fee, it was determined by District
staff who researched the historical aspects of the Resolution, that customers within an ID area
should pay an equitable portion of the costs of available capacity, but should not pay an actual
annexation fee, and should receive a credit for debt payments they have paid through debt

assessments applied to parcels within the ID areas. Therefore, the sewer capacity fee is listed
for those customers outside an ID area, who would pay the full capacity fee and an annexation
fee for sewer, and those inside an ID area who would pay only a reduced capacity fee, which is
reduced by the principal paid on the 1990 State loan for treatment plant, and all past interest
payments.

4.6 Key Information
In the development of the water capacity and new water supply fees, and the sewer capacity
fee for the District’s water and sewer utilities, key information was utilized:
x The District’s capacity fees were developed on the basis of planning documents,
anticipated future connections and the needed capital improvements to serve those
future connections.
x The District developed the projections of future EDUs based upon an analysis of
available land area and type of development, and population growth projections.
x The District’s asset records were used to determine the existing infrastructure assets.
x The District provided financial records related to capital reserves available, past interest
payments, billing system reports for number of meters by size, and pipeline inventories.
x The District provided the current estimated cost per lineal foot for pipelines for each
utility.
x The District provided the most recent CIP for future expansion improvements.
x The District determined the portion of future improvements that were growth-related.
x The year 2016 was used as the basis for the CIP.
x The calculation of the debt credit component included current outstanding principal on
existing assets.
4.7 Implementation of the Capacity, New Water Supply, and
Annexation Fees
The District currently escalates capacity, new water supply, and annexation fees based on the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR-CCI) on a quarterly basis. The ENR-CCI
tracks changes in municipal construction costs. The methodology used to calculate these fees
takes into account the cost of money or interest charges and inflation. Therefore, HDR would
Determination of the District’s Capacity Fee and New Water Supply Fees 27
Otay Water District – Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
recommend that the District continue to adjust the fees at least annually, or quarterly, using
the local ENR-CCI to reflect the cost of interest and inflation. This method of escalating the
District’s fees should be used for no more than a five-year period. After five years, HDR
recommends that the District update the fees based on the actual cost of infrastructure and
any new planned facilities that would be contained in an updated master plan or capital
improvement plan.
4.8 Consultant Recommendations
Based on our review and analysis of the District’s fees, HDR makes the following
recommendations:
The District should revise and update their capacity fees and new supply fees such that
they are no greater than the fees as set forth in this report.
The District should continue within their resolution or ordinance the provision for
periodic (annual or quarterly) adjustments to the fees based on changes in the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.
The District should update the actual calculations for the capacity and new supply fees
based on the methodology as approved by the resolution or ordinance setting forth the
methodology for capacity fees at such time when a new capital improvement plan,
facilities plan, master plan or a comparable plan is approved or updated by the District.
4.9 Summary
The capacity and new supply fees developed and presented in this section of the report are
based on the engineering design criteria of the District’s water and sewer system, the value of
the existing assets, future capital improvements, current debt service on existing assets and
“generally accepted” ratemaking principles. Adoption of the proposed fees will provide
multiple benefits to the District and create equitable and cost-based charges for new customers
connecting to the District’s water and sewer system.
Determination of the District’s Sewer Capacity Fees 28
Otay Water District– Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
5.1 Introduction
This section of the report presents the details and key assumptions in the calculation of the
District’s water and sewer annexation fee. The annexation fee is charged only to new
customers annexing into the District’s service area boundaries (i.e., customers currently outside
the District’s boundaries). The annexation fee reimburses existing customers for past
contributions so that all customers have contributed equally to the District’s water and sewer
systems. The calculation of the District’s water annexation fee is based upon District specific
tax and availability charge collections. The sewer annexation fee is based on availability charge
collections.
5.2 Current Water and Sewer Annexation Fees
The current water annexation fee is based on the original value of the 1% General Tax and
availability charges to date. These values are then escalated using the Consumer Price Index,
from San Diego, from 1959 to present (2017). The total present value of the 1% general tax and
the availability charges are divided by current water and recycled EDUs. The District’s current
water annexation fees are shown below in Table 5-1.

discussed water capacity fees and is based on a 3/4” meter equivalency. These are the same
meter equivalencies as were used in the water capacity fees and they are based on the AWWA
safe maximum operating capacity (GPM) of the different meter sizes. The fees shown are
effective April 1 1, 2017 and were adjusted by the consumer price index March 2017.

5.3 Calculation of the District’s Water and Sewer Annexation Fee
The current water annexation fee calculation is based on the current methodology for water of
the original value of the 1% General Tax and availability charges to date escalated to present
day values based on the Consumer Price Index, from San Diego, from 1959 to present (2017).
The 1% general tax is only for the water utility and is not included in the sewer calculation
because no customers in the service area have paid the 1% general tax for the sewer system.

currently within an ID area that annex into the District’s service area. Customers within an ID
area are assumed to have been paying the availability charges and therefore are considered to
be equal to other existing customers in having paid their share of system improvements prior to
connecting to the system.

Determination of the District’s Sewer Capacity Fees 31
Otay Water District– Capacity and Annexation Fee Updates
x The District’s annexation fees were developed on the basis of 1% General Tax and
Availability Charges escalated by the San Diego Consumer Price Index.
x The District water EDUs were based on current number of accounts by meter size
calculated into equivalent meters by the AWWA meter equivalency for a single family
meter.
x The District sewer EDUs were provided by the District, based on the 2010 EDUs and
additional 43 new EDUs since 2009.
x The sewer annexation fees do not include any 1% general tax within the calculation.
x The sewer capacity fees assume no additional capacity is needed to serve potential
future customers. These fees would need to be recalculated if a significant change in
future EDU’s or capacity requirements were made.
5.5 Implementation of the Annexation Fees
The methodology used to calculate the annexation fees takes into account the cost of money or
inflation. Therefore, HDR would recommend that the District continue the practice of adjusting
the annexation fees, each year, by the Consumer Price Index for San Diego.
5.6 Consultant Recommendations
Based on our review and analysis of the District’s annexation fees, HDR makes the following
recommendations:
The District should revise and update their water and sewer annexation fees which are
no greater than the water annexation fees calculated and as set forth in this report.
The District should continue with their resolution provision for periodic (annual or
quarterly) adjustments to the annexation fees based on changes in the San Diego
consumer price index (CPI).
The District should update the actual calculations for the annexation fees based on the
methodology as approved by the resolution, for annexation fees at least every five
years.
5.7 Summary
The water and sewer annexation fees developed and presented in this section of the report are
based on the District’s customer data and 1% General Tax and availability charges. Adoption of
the proposed annexation fees will continue to create equitable and cost-based charges for new
customers connecting to the District’s water and sewer systems.

Annexation Fees
Purpose: To bring equity to existing customers who
have paid the general tax and availability fees into the
system over the years and those that have not.
Anyone outside of the service area or ID areas that
annexes into the system is subject to pay these fees.
These are a one-time fee to pay into the system, a share
equal to the value to the funds paid by others.
Calculation: The fee is determined by accumulating the
past taxes and availability fees, bringing them into current
day dollars (applying CPI), and dividing by current EDUs
to determine the “buy-in” share per EDU.

SUBJECT: Informational Item – Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Capital
Improvement Program Report
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
No recommendation. This is an informational item only.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To update the Board about the status of all CIP project expenditures
and to highlight significant issues, progress, and milestones on
major projects.
ANALYSIS:
To keep up with growth and to meet our ratepayers' expectations to
adequately deliver safe, reliable, cost-effective, and quality water,
each year the District staff prepares a Six-Year CIP Plan that
identifies the District’s infrastructure needs. The CIP is comprised
of four categories consisting of backbone capital facilities,
replacement/renewal projects, capital purchases, and developer's
reimbursement projects.
The Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 update is intended to provide a
detailed analysis of progress in completing these projects within the
allotted time and budget of $11.9 million. Expenditures through the
Third Quarter totaled approximately $7.3 million. Approximately 62%
of the Fiscal Year 2017 expenditure budget was spent (see Attachment
B).
As of the Third Quarter, total expenditures for the end of Fiscal
Year 2017 are estimated to be approximately 105% of the Fiscal Year
budget. This expenditure rate is largely due to an invoice received
on April 14, 2017 from the County of San Diego for work completed on
the Rancho San Diego Pump Station Rehabilitation project (S2027).
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
No fiscal impact as this is an informational item only.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Capital Improvement Program supports the District’s Mission
statement, “To provide high value water and wastewater services to
the to the customers of the Otay Water District, in a professional,
effective, and efficient manner” and the General Manager’s Vision, “A
District that is at the forefront in innovations to provide water
services at affordable rates, with a reputation for outstanding
customer service.”
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

Informational Item – Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Capital
Improvement Program Report
COMMITTEE ACTION:
This item was presented to the Engineering, Operations, and Water
Resources Committee at a meeting held on May 23, 2017. The following
comments were made:
Staff reviewed the PowerPoint presentation with the Committee
and indicated that the expenditures through the third quarter
of FY 2017 totaled $7.3 million, which is approximately 62% of
the District’s fiscal year budget. Staff indicated that it is
anticipated that total CIP budget expenditures for FY 2017 is
projected to be approximately 105% (target is 95%). This is
largely due to an invoice from the County of San Diego for work
that has been completed on the Rancho San Diego Pump Station
Rehabilitation Project.
Staff indicated that the District’s FY 2017 CIP budget consists
of 90 projects that total $11.8 million and is divided into
four categories:
o Capital Facilities= $3.8 million
o Replacement/Renewal= $6.9 million
o Capital Purchases= $1.1 million
o Developer Reimbursement= $14.0 thousand
The PowerPoint presentation included the following:
o Total Life-to-Date Expenditures
o CIP Budget Forecast vs. Expenditures
o Major CIP Projects that have been completed, are in design
or are in construction
o A review of CIP Projects in Construction
o Construction Contract Status of projects, contract amount
with allowances, net change orders, and percent of project
completion
o Consultant Contract Status of contract amounts, approve
payments to date, change orders, dates when contracts were
signed and the end date of contracts
Staff stated that during the third quarter of FY 2017 the rate
for Change Orders with Allowance Credit equaled to 3.1%.
Staff indicated in response to an inquiry from the Committee
that the 978-1 and 850-2 Reservoirs Interior/Exterior Coating
and Upgrades Project was scheduled to be completed in mid-June
2017. However due to contractor delays it is expected it will
be completed in October 2017. It was noted that some of the
delay was due to rain. Staff has discussed liquidated damages
with the contractor for the late delivery of the project.
In response to another inquiry from the Committee, staff
explained with regard to the Otay Mesa Conveyance and
Disinfection System Project that it had been anticipated that
the District would receive the Presidential Permit a year ago.
The permit was received this year, thus, the consultant fees
were expended this fiscal year. Staff noted that this was
beyond the consultant’s control.
The Committee inquired what the additional $45,000 change order
was for to HDR Engineering, Inc.’s (HDR) contract for corrosion
services. It was indicated that the change order supported
coating inspection services for one of the District’s active
reservoir interior and exterior coating construction contracts.
Staff noted that HDR’s contract has a third component, coating
inspection services which is done during the construction phase
when the reservoir is being painted.
It was noted, in response to another inquiry from the
Committee, that the contract needs for as-needed corrosion
engineering services is different each FY as all the District’s
reservoirs are on a schedule for inspection and recoating. So
each year the list of reservoirs is different and, thus, the
funding needs will be different each FY. The size and location
of the reservoir are also factors in the cost for as-needed
corrosion engineering services.
The committee noted that staff had indicated in their report
that there were approximately five (5) projects that were
either indicated as “deferred” or on “hold” and wished an
update on these projects:
o Reservoirs 657-1 and 2 demolitions – this project was put
on hold as the reservoirs were found to have some
remaining useful life.
o 20-inch Pipeline Replacement, 711 Zone on Otay Lakes Road
– this project replaces an existing 16-inch main with a
larger 20-inch main to improve the transmission system.
The project will be budgeted in the next 6-year CIP
budget.
o 711-2 Pump Station Replacement/Expansion – this project
does not have funds allocated in FY 2017. The project
will be budgeted in the next 6-year CIP budget.
o 944-1 Reservoir Cover/Liner Replacement – the reservoir is
programmed in for periodic replacement, however, staff
found that the reservoir cover/liner does not need
addressing right away. Funding for replacement will be
budgeted in the next 6-year CIP budget.
Staff noted that some of the projects on hold above do not have
funds allocated in the FY 2017 budget and are scheduled for a
future FY within the approved 6-year CIP. The Committee
requested that staff include more information for those
projects that are on hold or are deferred.
Following the discussion, the committee supported presentation to the
full board as an informational item.

Human Resources:
SDRMA Credit Incentive Program (CIP) – The District participates in
SDRMA’s CIP, which is designed to encourage SDRMA members to take a
proactive approach in loss prevention focusing on administration,
training, and safety/risk management. In an effort to achieve the
lowest contributions possible, the District’s Board members and
staff participated in various training and seminars throughout the
year. As a result of this participation, the District received
points and ultimately credits towards next year’s insurance
premium, which is expected to be nearly $650,000. These credits add
up to a combined total of at least $82,776, which will be applied
towards the invoice for the 2017-18 program year (other credits
such as longevity distribution, loss prevention allowance, 5%
multi-program and/or high-volume discount may be applied later in
the year, possibly increasing the total discount off next year’s
premium).
Water Utilities Human Resources Committee (WUHRC) – Human Resources
staff attended the recent WUHRC meeting at San Diego County Water
Authority in Escondido. The WUHRC group consists of HR staff at all
the Water Agencies in the San Diego County Region and the group
meets on a quarterly basis for networking and to discuss HR best
practices and trends.

sector nominees were selected based on their innovative ways of
promoting and implementing new technology services in their
respective organization. Nominees include the San Diego County
Water Authority, Qualcomm, San Diego International Airport, UCSD
San Diego Supercomputer Center, and District Attorney’s Office.
This is the second time the District is recognized for its
strategic alignment of enterprise technology and critical
operational services. Along with IT management leading the effort,
technology and operations staff has played a critical role in the
deployment of this new value-added enterprise service.
Enterprise Phone System - Commencing in June 2016, staff began to
evaluate the on premise cost of ownership of the District’s current
phone system vs. a cloud-based service solution. Staff reviewed and
verified existing and future District phone service needs to
include automatic call distribution, desktop integration, mobility,
out-dial campaign management system, customer to desktop pop-up,
disaster recovery, and other customer relationship management
services. The existing phone system maintenance agreement will be
expiring at the end of June. Staff will complete the on premise vs.
cloud-based analysis by the end of the month.

ENGINEERING AND WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONS:
Engineering:
870-2 Pump Station Replacement: This project consists of a new
pump station to replace the existing Low Head 571-1 and High Head
870-1 Pump Stations. The project was publicly advertised for
construction bid on March 16, 2017. A public bid opening was held
on April 25, 2017. Award of the construction contract is scheduled
for the July 5, 2017 Board Meeting. The project is scheduled to
begin construction in October 2017 and completed in October 2019.
Staff met with the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) about the mitigation options for wetlands impacts for the
870-2 PS project. The RWQCB has a policy of no net loss for
wetlands. Staff has been working on restoring existing vernal
pools onsite, but with the no net loss policy requirement and
limited space on site, the District will have to purchase offsite
mitigation at a mitigation bank. The nearest wetlands bank is the
San Luis Rey Mitigation Bank in Oceanside. Because this bank is so
far away from the watershed where the actual impact is occurring,
the mitigation ratios would be 8:1 or 9:1. A total for the
purchase of 0.24 acres of wetlands from the San Luis Rey Bank is
expected to cost $140,000. The advantage of purchasing mitigation
from a bank is that once purchased, there is no future
responsibility for the District for maintenance and management.
(P2083)
SR-11 Utility Relocations: This project consists of relocating
several District potable water pipelines located in Otay Mesa Road,
Sanyo Avenue, Enrico Fermi Drive, Alta Road, and within District
5
easements. The first two rounds of relocations (Caltrans Utility
Agreement Numbers 33592 and 33622) were completed in FY 2016. Staff
recently held three meetings with Caltrans over the last few months
to begin planning and design of relocations from Enrico Fermi Drive
to the future Mexico/USA international border crossing. As part of
the SR-11 project, Caltrans will need to acquire a portion of the
District’s fee-owned right-of-way that is located in the Alta Road
alignment south of Otay Mesa Road. (P2453)
36-Inch Main Pumpouts and Air/Vacuum Ventilation Installations:
This project consists of inspection, repairs, and improvements to
the District’s La Presa 36-Inch Pipeline between San Diego County
Water Authority Flow Control Facility Number 11 and the District’s
Regulatory site. The project consists of the relocating of six (6)
existing air/vacuum valves from underground vaults to above ground
locations. The District’s contractor, Underground Pipeline
Solutions, Inc., has completed all relocations and all air/vacuum
valves have been placed back in service. A punchlist is pending.
The project is within budget and on schedule to complete in June
2017. (P2267)
978-1 & 850-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coatings & Upgrades:
This project consists of removing and replacing the interior and
exterior coatings of the 978-1 0.5 MG Reservoir and the 850-2 3.1
MG Reservoir, along with providing structural upgrades, to ensure
the tanks comply with both state and federal OSHA standards as well
as the American Water Works Association and the County Health
Department standards. During the month of May, Blastco, Inc., the
District’s contractor, completed the installation of the new
coating on the exterior of the 978-1 Reservoir. Additionally,
testing to place the 978-1 Reservoir into service began. The
contractor is scheduled to mobilize and begin work on the 850-2
reservoir in June 2017. The contractor is currently behind
schedule due to sub-contractor coordination. The contractor has
been notified that liquidated damages will be assessed for late
delivery of the project. The project is within budget with
contract time ending in June 2017. It is estimated that work on
the 850-2 Reservoir will complete in October 2017. (P2534 & P2544)
State Route 94 Campo Road at Melody Road: The District has entered
into an agreement for construction of a water system with the Jamul
Indian Village Development Corporation. Under the agreement, the
Jamul Indian Village Development Corporation is required to
relocate approximately 1,860 linear feet of 16-inch potable water
main. Construction of the 16-inch main is complete and the main
was tied into the system in May 2017. Staff worked with the
developer on the tie-in plan for the new main. Impacts to
customers during the tie-in were minimized. (D0644-090254)

Campo Road Sewer Replacement: The existing sanitary sewer from
Avocado Road to Singer Drive is undersized and located in
environmentally sensitive areas that are difficult to access. The
Campo Road Sewer Replacement project will install approximately
7,420 linear feet of new 15-inch gravity sewer and include
abandonment of the existing sewer main. Installation of the new
sewer will occur at the Rancho San Diego Village Shopping Center,
along SR-94/Campo Road, and in the Rancho San Diego Towne Center.
Easements for the work have been secured for the project from
Vestar and Regency Centers. The Board approved the award of a
construction contract to Wier Construction Corporation of Escondido
at the May meeting of the Board of Directors. A Notice to Proceed
to Wier Construction Corporation was issued in late May 2017.
Activities near environmentally sensitive areas will be halted
during the breeding season of endangered species, between February
and September. The overall project is scheduled for completion in
February 2019. (S2024)
Hillsdale Road Water and Sewer Replacement: The existing water line
in Hillsdale Road between Jamacha Road and Vista Grande Road has
experienced several breaks and found to be in need of replacement.
As the County plans to repave the road as soon as the project is
completed, the replacement of two (2) segments of sanitary sewer
are also included in the scope of work. Through the District’s As-
Needed Engineering Design contract, a Task Order was issued on June
23, 2016 to Psomas to design the project. Traffic control plans
have been approved by Caltrans and are being reviewed by the County
of San Diego. The Final Design submittal was submitted on
April 24, 2017, with the District in the process of completing
bidding specific information. The construction Advertisement to
Bid will be published in The Daily Transcript as soon as County
permits are obtained. The County of San Diego has yet to comment
on construction limitations close to the high school. The project
is within budget and on schedule to complete in spring 2018. (P2573
& S2048)
Trenchless Sewer Rehabilitation: The District completed the in-
house design of sewer repairs for 60 locations using trenchless
technologies. A construction contract was awarded to Insituform
Technologies, LLC at the March 1, 2017 Board Meeting. The Notice
to Proceed was issued in April and construction started in May
2017. The project is within budget and scheduled for completion in
August 2017. (S2044)
OWD Administration and Operations Parking Lot Improvements, Phase I
– Lighting and Vehicle Charging Station: This project consists of
replacing the existing parking lot light fixtures in both the
Administration and Operations lots with high efficiency LED
fixtures. The project also includes constructing an electric
7
vehicle charging station in the Employee Administration parking
lot. The Board approved the award of a construction contract to
Ace Electric, Inc. of San Diego at the April meeting of the Board
of Directors. A Notice to Proceed to Ace Electric, Inc. was issued
in May 2017. The project is scheduled to complete in September
2017. (P2555 & P2547)
624-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coatings & Upgrades: This project
consists of removing and replacing the interior and exterior
coatings of the 624-2 8.0 MG Reservoir. The construction contract
was awarded to Advanced Industrial Services (AIS). They completed
the project in 2014, however, a warranty dive inspection in 2016
found the coating near the center roof vent was cracking and
blistering. The reservoir was recently taken out of service to
allow for a closer inspection by AIS and the District’s Coating
Inspector. District staff is directing AIS to do the repairs now,
which could take six to ten weeks to complete before the reservoir
can be placed back in service. AIS hired a third party consultant,
Corrosion Probe, Inc., to examine the paint failure. The results
of their findings are expected in early June 2017. AIS has begun
removing the existing coating. (P2493)
Rancho San Diego Pump Station Rehabilitation: On April 30, 2014,
the District and the San Diego County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) executed a reimbursement agreement for the
improvements to the Rancho San Diego Pump Station that were expected
to be completed on or about March 2016. The Sanitation District
awarded a construction contract to TC Construction Company Inc. on
September 14, 2016. To date, staff has received 77 submittals from
the contractor and the Sanitation District. Start-up and testing of
the pump station is scheduled to begin in December of 2017. On
April 14, 2017, the District received an invoice from the County of
San Diego for $2,739,824.24 to reimburse the County of expenses they
have already incurred and for the District’s half of the remaining
construction contract. District CIP Fiscal Year 2016-2017 budget is
expected to be exceeded to approximately 105 percent as a result of
this invoice. (S2027)
Pure Water Update: In May 12, 2017, the Metro JPA/Metro Commission
submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board (Regional
Board) a petition to be held in abeyance to the Regional Board’s
decision to adopt “Waste Discharge Requirements and NPDES Permit for
the City of San Diego, E.W. Blom Point Loma Wastewater Treatment
Plant Discharge to the Pacific Ocean through the Point Loma Outfall
NPDES N. CA. 0107409” permit. Metro JPA’s primary concern is
whether the City of San Diego’s accelerated schedule for
construction of the Pure Water San Diego Program is treated as an
enforceable requirement of the Permit. The abeyance order states
that this interpretation is not only beyond the Regional Board’s
8
authority, but would also impede Metro JPA's efforts to
cooperatively develop an equitable and affordable approach to
achieving long-term Clean Water Act compliance, and it would result
in significantly less flexibility to address potential cost issues
and/or other complexities that may adversely impact the Metro JPA
member agencies and their ratepayers.

Out of 61 K-12 schools in the District, 44 requested to be tested;
33 have a sampling plan completed; 23 have collected samples and;
16 have received results. The District, however, cannot provide
test results to the public for 60 days after receiving the
laboratory results.
Staff time for the school lead sampling is being tracked. It takes
staff approximately 12 hours to complete lead testing from the
initial contact from the school up until the reviewing of the Lab
reports and discussing the results with the school.
On April 19, the Administration Building’s generator failed and a
portable gen set had to be hooked up. Staff expects the generator
to be repaired and working properly by mid-June.
