The majority of California is currently experiencing extreme drought. La mayor parte del Estado de California está experimentando actualmente una sequía extrema. Otay Customers Lead the Way in Conservation CONTINUING DROUGHT CREATING UNCERTAINTY California is entering its fourth straight year of drought. With the state nearing the end of its rainy season, surveys report that snowpack in the Sierras is well below normal. To make matters worse, the state has been experiencing above average temperatures that increase evaporation and overall demand for water. San Diego County will again be asked to do its part to conserve water throughout 2015, and we are prepared to meet this challenge. Water saving measures are working for San Diego County and the Otay Water District. San Diego County uses less water today than it did in 1992, despite having added more than 700,000 new residents and thousands of new businesses. Otay’s customers reduced water use by nearly 27 percent since 2007, surpassing the statewide 20 percent reduction goal for 2020. You, our customers, are consistently among the most conscientious water users in the state as shown by statewide per capita water use. We commend you and ask that you continue to make water conservation a priority. While the drought is a source of uncertainty across the state, for San Diego, it is a reminder of how far we have come since the 1990s when we began investing in new, more reliable water supplies. These new supplies include recycled water, agricultural-to-urban water transfers, water from canal lining, and the new ocean water desalination plant in Carlsbad set to come online by the end of the year. Colorado River deliveries to San Diego should remain stable and at near normal levels this year, even though the Colorado River Basin states are also experiencing warmer than average temperatures and precipitation has been below normal. The Level II Water Supply Alert will continue and mandatory water use restrictions will remain in place for 2015. As the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California begins its allocation process in July, Otay will call on its customers to continue to save water and take full advantage of all available water and money saving rebates. Thank you for your continued efforts to conserve water and for your support of alternative water supplies. For more information on water conservation programs, please visit www.watersmartsd.org. Los clientes de Otay, líderes en conservación LA CONTINUA SEQUÍA GENERA INCERTIDUMBRE California está entrando en su cuarto año consecutivo de sequía. El estado se acerca al final de la temporada de lluvias y los estudios indican que la nieve acumulada en las Sierras está muy por debajo del nivel normal. Para agravar la situación, el estado ha estado experimentando temperaturas superiores al promedio las cuales aumentan la evaporación y la demanda de agua en general. Debido a la continua sequía, el Condado de San Diego le va a solicitar nuevamente que haga su parte conservando agua durante el año 2015. Las medidas para ahorrar agua están funcionando muy bien en el Condado de San Diego y en el Distrito de Agua de Otay. Por ejemplo, el Condado de San Diego usa en la actualidad menos agua de la que utilizaba en 1992 a pesar de tener 700,000 nuevos residentes y miles de negocios nuevos. En el condado, los clientes de Otay continúan siendo líderes al reducir su consumo de agua en casi un 27 por ciento desde 2007, sobrepasando la meta estatal de conservación que es de 20 por ciento para el año 2020. Ustedes, nuestros clientes, están entre los usuarios de agua más esmerados del estado como se muestra en el consumo de agua per cápita estatal. Felicitamos a todos nuestros clientes y exhortamos a que la conservación de agua siga siendo una prioridad. Mientras que la sequía está creando incertidumbre a lo largo del estado, la región de San Diego ha invertido en suministros de agua confiables desde los años noventa. Nosotros sabíamos que la sequía cíclica era una de las características del oeste americano. Los nuevos suministros incluyen agua reciclada, transferencias de agua de la agricultura a las zonas urbanas, revestimiento de canales de agua, y la nueva planta desalinizadora de agua de mar en Carlsbad la cual entrará en funcionamiento a finales de este año. Las entregas del río Colorado a San Diego deben permanecer estables y en niveles casi normales este año, a pesar de que los estados de la cuenca del Río Colorado también están experimentando temperaturas más altas de lo normal y las precipitaciones han sido inferiores a lo acostumbrado. La alerta de nivel II de suministro de agua continuará y las restricciones obligatorias del uso del agua se mantendrán en vigor durante el año 2015. A medida que el Distrito Metropolitano de Agua del Sur de California comience su proceso de asignación en julio, Otay pedirá a sus clientes seguir ahorrando agua y que aprovechen al máximo todos los reembolsos y ahorros disponibles de agua y dinero. Gracias por su esfuerzo continuo para conservar agua y apoyar los suministros de agua alternativos.

Water theft is illegal. When someone steals water, everyone pays. That’s why preventing water theft protects your rates as well as your water supply. Consistent with our work to protect your water supply, the District has recently levied large fines on individuals for tampering with their home water meter and for stealing water from fire hydrants. Anyone found to have stolen water can be fined up to $5,000 for a first offense. Otay has the technology and procedures in place to identify water theft and will always take aggressive action to stop it. Evidence is collected and that evidence can be referred to the District Attorney for prosecution. When referred to the District Attorney, Otay will pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Help us protect your water supply by reporting suspicious activity around water supply equipment. We appreciate your assistance and thank you for your support. Leak Detection Saves Water Otay Water District has recently completed a potable water leak detection survey in areas of east Chula Vista. This is an ongoing program to proactively identify leaks and save water. The area where the survey took place was north of Olympic Parkway, east of the 1-805, and west of Hunte Parkway. A vendor selected by the District inspected all water mains, laterals, meters and valves listening for the sound of leaks. Using electronic equipment, even minor leaks can be identified. In a separate leak detection survey of a large recycled water distribution main, a potential problem was averted as damage to a pipeline was identified before a water main break occurred. Over time, any small leak identified can result in significant water savings. These preventative maintenance programs safeguard your water supply and save customers water and money. Otay Water District has received the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2015 budget. Each year the District makes a concerted effort to continually improve the quality of its financial reporting documents to make them easier to read and understand. This honor marks the 11th consecutive year that Otay has received the GFOA recognition, which is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and reflects Otay’s commitment to exceeding the highest principles of financial reporting. The award-winning budgets and their companion documents, including the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, are available for reading and downloading from the District’s website at www.otaywater.gov. Click on the Publications tab. Calavo Garden Sewer Rehabilitation Ongoing Work is continuing to rehabilitate aging sewer lines in several East County communities served by Otay Water District. Using a video camera system, the District has inspected all of its sewer lines in the Calavo Gardens and Rancho San Diego neighborhoods. This preventative maintenance program’s goal is to identify any area of the pipe that require higher levels of maintenance, have sagged, or where heavy debris can accumulate. Over time these factors can contribute to increased maintenance costs, or worse, result in a pipeline break or sewer backup. The Calavo Basin Sewer Rehabilitation Project – Phase I will take approximately six months to complete (January to June 2015), with repairs occurring in short sections. This project is also an element of a larger program to replace and upgrade sewer infrastructure serving these two communities. The preventative maintenance program will extend the useful lifecycle of the public sewer system, help to keep the sewer system and equipment running efficiently, and will lower overall operating expenses. This helps to keep Otay’s cost for sewer service affordable and among the lowest in San Diego County.
