LAKE LAFCo 3 KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT MSR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) History This report is prepared pursuant to State legislation enacted in 2000 that requires Lake LAFCo to complete a comprehensive review of municipal service delivery and update the spheres of influence (SOIs) of all agencies under LAFCo’s jurisdiction. This chapter provides an overview of LAFCo’s history, powers and responsibilities. It discusses the origins and legal requirements for preparation of a Service Review commonly referred to as a Municipal Service Review (MSR). Finally, the chapter reviews the process for MSR review, MSR approval and SOI updates. After World War II, California experienced dramatic growth in population and economic development. With this boom came a demand for housing, jobs and public services. To accommodate this demand, many new local government agencies were formed, often with little forethought as to the ultimate governance structures within a given region. A lack of coordination and adequate planning led to a multitude of overlapping, inefficient jurisdictional and service area boundaries, many of which resulted in the premature conversion of California’s agricultural and open-space lands and duplication of services. Recognizing this problem, in 1959, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Sr. appointed the Commission on Metropolitan Area Problems. The Commission's charge was to study and make recommendations on the "misuse of land resources" and the growing complexity of local governmental jurisdictions. The Commission's recommendations on local governmental reorganization were introduced in the Legislature in 1963; resulting in the creation of a Local Agency Formation Commission, or "LAFCo," operating in every county. LAFCo was formed as a countywide agency to discourage urban sprawl and to encourage the orderly formation and development of local government agencies within its jurisdiction. LAFCo is responsible for coordinating logical and timely changes in local governmental boundaries; including annexations and detachments of territory, incorporations of cities, formations of special districts, and consolidations, mergers and dissolutions of districts, as well as reviewing ways to reorganize, simplify, and streamline governmental structure. The Commission's efforts are focused on ensuring services are provided efficiently and economically while agricultural and open-space lands are protected or conserved to the extent possible. To better inform itself and the in compliance with the State Law; LAFCo conducts MSR’s to evaluate the provision of municipal services for service providers within its jurisdiction. LAFCo regulates, through approval, denial, conditions and modification, boundary changes proposed by public agencies or individual voters and landowners. It also regulates the extension of public services by cities and special districts outside their boundaries. LAFCo is empowered to initiate updates to the SOIs and proposals involving the dissolution, consolidation or formation of special districts, establishment of subsidiary districts, and any reorganization including such actions. Where LAFCo is not given specific authority, LAFCo actions must originate as petitions from affected voters or landowners, or by resolutions by affected cities or special districts. 1 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 A Plan for Services is required in Government Code Section 56653. A Plan for Services must include the following information: An enumeration and description of services to be provided, the level and range of those services, an indication of how those services are to be extended into the territory, an indication of any improvements or upgrading of structures, Information on how the services are to be financed. 1.2 Preparation of the MSR Research for this Municipal Service Review (MSR) was conducted during the fall of 2019. This MSR is intended to support preparation and update of Spheres of Influence, in accordance with the provisions of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act. The objectives of this Municipal Service Review (MSR) are as follows: ü To develop recommendations that will promote more efficient and higher quality service options and patterns ü To identify areas for service improvement ü To assess the adequacy of service provision as it relates to determination of appropriate sphere boundaries While LAFCo prepared the MSR document, given budgetary constraints, LAFCo did not engage the services of experts in engineering, hydrology, geology, water quality, fire protection, accounting or other specialists in related fields, but relied upon published reports and available information. Insofar there is conflicting or inconclusive information LAFCo staff may recommend the district retain a licensed professional or expert in a particular field for an opinion. Therefore, this MSR reflects LAFCo’s recommendations, based on available information during the research period and provided by District staff to assist in its determinations related to promoting more efficient and higher quality service patterns; identifying areas for service improvement; and assessing the adequacy of service provision by the Konocti County Water District. Additional information on local government funding issues in found in Appendix A at the end of this report. 1.3 Role and Responsibility of LAFCo Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCos) in California are independent agencies created by the California Legislature in 1963 for the purpose of encouraging the orderly formation of local government agencies and conserving and preserving natural resources. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code §56000 et seq.) is the statutory authority for the preparation of an MSR, and periodic updates of the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of each local agency. 2 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 LAFCos are responsible for coordinating logical and timely changes in local governmental boundaries, conducting special studies that review ways to reorganize, simplify, and streamline governmental structure, preparing a review of services called a MSR, and preparing a SOI thereby determining the future “probable” boundary for each city and special district within each county. The Commission's efforts are directed toward seeing that services are provided efficiently and economically while agricultural and open-space lands are protected. Often citizens are confused as to what LAFCo’s role is. LAFCos do not have enforcement authority nor do they have the authority to initiate a city or district annexation or detachment proceeding. LAFCos may initiate consolidation or dissolution proceedings; however, these proceedings are subject to the voter approval or denial. The Legislature has given LAFCos the authority to modify any proposal before it to ensure the protection of agricultural and open space resources, discourage urban sprawl and promote orderly boundaries and the provision of adequate services. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has issued Guidelines for the preparation of a MSR. This MSR adheres to the procedures set forth in OPR’s MSR Guidelines. A SOI is a plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by the affected Local Agency Formation Commission (Government Code §56076). Government Code §56425(f) requires that each SOI be updated not less than every five years, and §56430 provides that a MSR shall be conducted in advance of the SOI update. 1.4 Municipal Services Review Requirements Effective January 1, 2001 and subsequently amended, LAFCo is required to conduct a review of municipal services provided in the county by region, sub-region or other designated geographic area, as appropriate, for the service or services to be reviewed, and prepare a written statement of determination with respect to each of the following six topics (Government Code §56430): 1. Growth and population projections for the affected area 2. The location and characteristics of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUC) within or contiguous to the sphere of influence 3. Present and planned capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services, including infrastructure needs or deficiencies 4. Financial ability of agencies to provide services 5. Status of, and opportunities for shared facilities 6. Accountability for community service needs, including governmental structure and operational efficiencies 3 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 1.5 Municipal Services Review Process For local agencies, the MSR process involves the following steps: • Outreach: LAFCo outreach and explanation of the project • Data Discovery: provide documents and respond to LAFCo questions • Map Review: review and comment on LAFCo draft map of the agency’s boundary and sphere of influence • Profile Review: internal review and comment on LAFCo draft profile of the agency • Public Review Draft MSR: review and comment on LAFCo draft MSR • LAFCo Hearing: attend and provide public comments on MSR MSRs are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to §15262 (feasibility or planning studies) or §15306 (information collection) of the CEQA Guidelines. LAFCo’s actions to adopt MSR determinations are not considered “projects” subject to CEQA. The MSR process does not require LAFCo to initiate changes of organization based on service review findings, only that LAFCo identify potential government structure options. However, LAFCo, other local agencies, and the public may subsequently use the determinations to analyze prospective changes of organization or reorganization or to establish or amend SOIs. Within its legal authorization, LAFCo may act with respect to a recommended change of organization or reorganization on its own initiative (e.g., certain types of consolidations), or in response to a proposal (i.e., initiated by resolution or petition by landowners or registered voters). Once LAFCo has adopted the MSR determinations, it must update the SOI for each jurisdiction. The LAFCo Commission determines and adopts the spheres of influence for each agency. A CEQA determination is made by LAFCo on a case-by-case basis for each sphere of influence action and each change of organization, once the proposed project characteristics are sufficiently identified to assess environmental impacts. 1.6 Sphere Of Influence Update Process The Commission is charged with developing and updating the Sphere of Influence (SOI) for each city and special district within the county.1 An SOI is a LAFCo-approved plan that designates an agency’s probable future boundary and service area. Spheres are planning tools used to provide guidance for individual boundary change proposals and are intended to encourage efficient provision of organized community services and prevent duplication of service delivery. Territory cannot be annexed by LAFCo to a city or district unless it is within that agency's sphere. 1 The initial statutory mandate, in 1971, imposed for no deadline for completing sphere designations. When most LAFCos failed to act, 1984 legislation required all LAFCos to establish spheres of influence by 1985. 4 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 The purposes of the SOI include the following: ü to ensure the efficient provision of services ü to discourage urban sprawl and premature conversion of agricultural and open space lands ü to prevent overlapping jurisdictions and duplication of services LAFCo may not directly regulate land use, dictate internal operations or administration of any local agency, or set rates. LAFCo is empowered to enact policies that indirectly affect land use decisions. On a regional level, LAFCo promotes logical and orderly development of communities as it considers and decides individual proposals. LAFCo has a role in reconciling differences between agency plans so that the most efficient urban service arrangements are created for the benefit of current and future area residents and property owners. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg (CKH) Act requires LAFCos to develop and determine the SOI of each local governmental agency within its jurisdiction and to review and update the SOI every five years, as necessary. LAFCos are empowered to adopt, update and amend a SOI. They may do so with or without an application. Any interested person may submit an application proposing an SOI amendment. While SOIs are required to be updated every five years, as necessary, this does not necessarily define the planning horizon of the SOI. The term or horizon of the SOI is determined by each LAFCo. LAFCo may recommend government reorganizations to particular agencies in the county, using the SOIs as the basis for those recommendations. In determining the SOI, LAFCo is required to complete an MSR and adopt the six determinations previously discussed. In addition, in adopting or amending an SOI, LAFCo must make the following five determinations as required in Government Code section 56425(c): 1. Present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands 2. Present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area 3. Present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public service that the agency provides or is authorized to provide 4. Existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the Commission determines these are relevant to the agency 5. For an update of an SOI of a city or special district that provides public facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire protection, the present and probable need for those public facilities and services of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of influence. 2 2 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(5) 5 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 The CKH Act stipulates several procedural requirements in updating SOIs. It requires cities to file written statements on the class of services to be provided and LAFCo must clearly establish the location, nature and extent of services provided by special districts. By statute, LAFCo must notify affected agencies 21 days before holding the public hearing to consider the SOI and may not update the SOI until after that hearing. The LAFCo Executive Officer must issue a report including recommendations on the SOI amendments and updates under consideration at least five days before the public hearing. 1.7 Possible Approaches to the Sphere of Influence LAFCo may recommend government reorganizations to particular agencies in the county, using the SOIs as the basis for those recommendations. Based on review of the guidelines of Lake LAFCo as well as other LAFCos in the State, various conceptual approaches have been identified from which to choose in designating an SOI. These seven approaches are explained below: 1) Coterminous Sphere: A Coterminous Sphere means that the Sphere of Influence for a city or special district that is the same as its existing boundaries of the city or district. 2) Annexable Sphere: A sphere larger than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is expected to annex. The annexable area is outside the district boundaries and inside the sphere of influence. 3) Detachable Sphere: A sphere that is smaller than the agency’s boundaries identifies areas the agency is expected to detach. The detachable area is the area within the agency bounds but not within its sphere of influence. 4) Zero Sphere: A zero sphere indicates the affected agency’s public service functions should be reassigned to another agency and the agency should be dissolved or combined with one or more other agencies. 5) Consolidated Sphere: A consolidated sphere includes two or more local agencies and indicates the agencies should be consolidated into one agency. 6) Limited Service Sphere: A limited service sphere is the territory included within the SOI of a multi-service provider agency that is also within the boundary of a limited purpose district which provides the same service (e.g., fire protection), but not all needed services. Territory designated as a limited service SOI may be considered for annexation to the limited purpose agency without detachment from the multi-service provider. 6 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 This type of SOI is generally adopted when the following conditions exist: a) The limited service provider is providing adequate, cost effective and efficient services b) The multi-service agency is the most logical provider of the other services c) There is no feasible or logical SOI alternative d) Inclusion of the territory is in the best interests of local government organization and structure in the area Government Code §56001 specifically recognizes that in rural areas it may be appropriate to establish limited purpose agencies to serve an area rather than a single service provider, if multiple limited purpose agencies are better able to provide efficient services to an area rather than one service district. Moreover, Government Code Section §56425(i), governing sphere determinations, also authorizes a sphere for less than all of the services provided by a district by requiring a district affected by a sphere action to “establish the nature, location, and extent of any functions of classes of services provided by existing districts” recognizing that more than one district may serve an area and that a given district may provide less than its full range of services in an area. 1.8 Description of Public Participation Process The LAFCo proceedings are subject to the provisions of California’s open meeting law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code Sections 54950 et seq.). The Brown Act requires advance posting of meeting agendas and contains various other provisions designed to ensure that the public has adequate access to information regarding the proceedings of public boards and commissions. Lake LAFCo complies with the requirements of the Brown Act. The State MSR Guidelines provide that all LAFCos should encourage and provide multiple public participation opportunities in the MSR process. 7 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 2 KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT AREA The Konocti County Water District is located entirely within the City of Clearlake. Although the City of Clearlake is larger than the Konocti County Water District some information will be included on the entire City. 2.1 City of Clearlake Demographics The 2010 US Census reported that Clearlake had a population of 15,250. According to the State Department of Finance, the January 1, 2013 population of Clearlake was 15,192 and the January 1, 2019 population was 14,828. Clearlake’s population consists of approximately 24% of the County’s population. The City of Clearlake had a growth rate of 1.46% between 2014 and 2018. However, the City lost population most likely caused by the Valley Fire and other fires in Lower Lake and within the City of Clearlake itself. The 2010 Census reported that 14,790 people (97.0% of the population) lived in households, 366 (2.4%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 94 (0.6%) were institutionalized. In 2019 there were 460 people living in Group Quarters and 14,368 living in households. There were 5,970 households according to the 2010 census, out of which 1,859 (31.1%) had children under the age of 18 living in them, there were 1,898 households (31.8%) which were made up of individuals and 739 (12.4%) had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The remaining households were two or more adults living together. The average household size was 2.48. There were 3,418 families (57.3% of all households); the average family size was 3.11. Contrasting with 2019 there was an average household size of 2.56 persons. Of the total 7,797 housing units there was a total 5,612 occupied housing units and 2,185 vacant units. The city’s vacancy rate was 28.0% The City of Clearlake population was spread out in age as follows: CITY OF CLEARLAKE POPULATON AGE GROUPS 2010 Under the age of 18 3,656 people 24.0% 18 to 24 1,528 people 10.0% 25 to 44 3,384 people 22.2% 45 to 64 4,389 people 28.8% 65 years of age or older 2,293 people 15.0% TOTAL 15,250 people 100.0% The median age was 39.9 years in 2010. In 2019 the median age was 37.9 years. For every 100 females there were 99.9 males. In 2010 for every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 96.6 males. In 2016 there were 7,743 males (51 percent) and 7,318 Females (49%) There were 8,035 housing units in 2010, of which 3,190 (53.4%) were owner-occupied, and 2,780 (46.6%) were occupied by renters. In 2016 there were 6,026 housing units in Clearlake of which 3,176 were owner occupied (52.70 percent) and 2,850 were renter 8 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 occupied (47.30 percent). The homeowner vacancy rate was 5.9%; the rental vacancy rate was 12.1%. The population is almost evenly divided between owners and renters with 7,595 people (49.8% of the population) in owner-occupied housing units and 7,195 people (47.2%) in rental housing units. In summary, the City’s growth rate had become stagnent due to the fires. Prior to the fires the city had experienced a 4.4 percent population gain between 2010 and 2018. However, that growth had ceased and in fact declined in 2019. For the purposes of this MSR, LAFCo will use the growth rate between 2010 and 2018, which is 0.54%. 2.2 Disadvantaged Community Status The Konocti County Water District is a Disadvantaged Community since the Median Household income is $30,318 compared to the State of California Median Household Income of $61,818 ($67,169).3 These figure are further substantiated in the 2017 American Community Survey for the entire city which states the Median Household Income (MHI) is $27,034, which qualifies as a disadvantaged community as well as a severely disadvantaged community having a MHI of 20% and 40% of the State MHI ($67,169) respectively.4 The City of Clearlake as well as the Konocti County Water District is severely disadvantaged. 3 Konocti County Water District, June 30, 2017. 4 City of Clearlake Housing Element October 10, 2019 9 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 3 KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT 3.1 Konocti County Water District Background 3.1.1 History and Water Service Providers in Clearlake The Konocti County Water District (KCWD or District) was organized in 1961 and serves 1,795 active potable water connections today in the City of Clearlake in Lake County most of which are single-family residential connections. The total service area of 1,100 acres (10,000 parcels) is contained entirely within the limits of the incorporated City, the District is bounded by State Highway 53 to the west, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) properties to the east, Dam Road to the south, and Hayes Avenue to the north. A history of the annexations to and detachments from the District is shown in Appendix B at the end of this report. Other domestic water systems in the City of Clearlake are as follows: a. The Golden State Water Company is a public utility that serves the western portion of the City (between Sycamore Street to the east and the southeastern shore of Clear Lake to the west) as well as a non-contiguous, seven-block segment of the central portion of the City. Water from this particular utility is sourced from the surface water of Clear Lake, which is treated at Golden State Water Company’s Sonoma Water Treatment Plant. An intake is located along the lake shore, and water is pumped up to the treatment plant located within City boundaries. Golden State Water Company services a population of 6,189 people (assuming 2.91 pph) and provides a total of 2,127 service connections to residential and nonresidential customers. Improvements to this system are managed in an ongoing capital improvement plan, mainly focused on replacing old water mains in the Clearlake area. On an annual basis, 2 to 3 water mains are to be changed, based on their age and condition. Recently completed projects include the Lower Lake Pipeline, consisting of 2,000 linear feet of pipeline and three hydrants and 34 water services; the Crandall and Hill Pipeline consisting of 1,000 linear feet of pipeline, two fire hydrants, and 39 additional services; and a new generator at the Lakeshore Water Plant. Current and upcoming projects include installation of six Variable Frequency Drives to optimize the water treatment process and the Napa street pipeline, which includes 800 linear feet of pipeline, one fire hydrant and nine additional services. A variety of miscellaneous improvements to pumping stations are also identified in the capital improvement plan. No deficiencies in water service have been identified. According to the Golden State Water’s 2020 Consumer Confidence Report water quality for 2019 in Clearlake continues to meet all federal and state water quality standards to protect public health and safety. b. The Highlands Mutual Water Company is a private water provider that delivers water to the central portion of the City (between the southeastern shore of Clear Lake to the west and Highway 53 to the east). The treatment plant facility is 10 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 located at 14774 Hillcrest Avenue in the City of Clearlake. The treatment plant can produce 2,500,000 treated gallons per day. This private utility serves a population of 6,072 people with water via a total of 2,568 service connections to residential and non-residential customers. Raw water is drawn from Clear Lake and pumped by one of two vertical turbine pumps. Water flows through ozone contact chambers and water turbidity clarifiers. Water is then delivered to a duel media filter system. Water is then disinfected and delivered to a storage facility consisting of six storage tanks having a total storage capacity of 4,900,000 gallons5. Recent improvements to the water system is a water main replacement project on Emory Avenue in Clearlake, was completed in June 2020. c. The Lower Lake County Waterworks District #1 organized in 1946 under the County Water District Law, California Water Code §30000 et seq. and contains a small incorporated area located in the southernmost portion of the City of Clearlake north of Cache Creek. The Latest annexation (Tish-a-Tang annexation) to the Lower Lake County Waterworks District #1 within this area occurred in 1974 and is located north of Cache Creek. Water service area overlap has been found in two areas within the City of Clearlake. Based on a review of the service area maps prepared by LAFCo for the four water service providers within the City of Clearlake the two areas involve an overlap with Golden State Water and Highlands Mutual Water Company and the Konocti County Water District and the Highlands Mutual Water Company (please see the Overlap Map along with the Highlands Mutual Water Company and the Konocti County Water District infrastructure maps located the end of this report. 1. Golden State Water and Highlands Mutual Water Company overlap. This area involves an area south of Austin Road, both sides of Manchester Avenue and an area south of Laguna Vista Way and north of Davis Avenue. In a review of the infrastructure Maps at the end of this report Highlands Mutual has a 6” line north and south along Manchester and north and south along Highlands Streets and a 4” line along Austin Street east and west. Golden State Water serves the area between Laguna Vista and Davis Ave. 2. Konocti County Water District and the Highlands Mutual Water Company overlap. The western portion of this area is served by Highlands Water Company and the area along and west of Irvine is served by Konocti Co. Water District. This area is within the Konocti County Water District service area but not within the Highlands Mutual Water agreement with Yolo County Flood Control. LAFCo does not have the authority to change boundaries or service areas for the Golden State Water Company or the Highlands Mutual Water Company. The Service Area for the Golden State Water Company is established by the California Public Utilities Commission and the district’s water rights entitlement agreement with Yolo County Flood Control. The Highlands Mutual Water Company’s entitlement for its water service area 5 Highlands Mutual Water Company, Consumer Confidence Report, 2019. 11 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 is established through its water rights entitlement agreement with Yolo County Flood Control District. LAFCo has the authority to regulate the district boundary for the Konocti County Water District. LAFCo may wish to signal a reduction in the Konocti County Water District’s boundary by suggesting a detachment of the area west of Irvine not being served by the District. However, LAFCo does not have the authority to initiate detachments. 3.1.2 Konocti County Water District summary The Konocti County Water District is one of four water systems serving the City of Clearlake. According to the State Water Resources Control Board – Division of Drinking Water report of July 11, 2017 the Konocti County Water District had 1,795 active service connections (of which 1,781 are single-family residential dwellings) serving 4,130 people. A total of 1.8 million gallons of storage is available to the distribution system. In 2014, the average maximum daily demand was 424.6 gallons per day per connection (average over a 10-year period). Based on the current number of active connections the maximum daily demand for the entire system is 762,000 gallons per day. The surface water treatment plant can produce 864 gallons per minute. Depending upon the number of backwash events the maximum daily plant capacity ranges from 1.15 to 0.86 million gallons per day. Based on 3 backwashes per day the total source capacity is 0.96 MGD. According to the State Water Resources Control Board (2017) The System must have adequate storage capacity to meet the peak hourly demand (PHD) for four hours. The PHD is 31,800 gallons per hour (GPH). Therefore, the System must have a minimum of 127,200 gallons available over a four hour period. The water treatment plant (666 gpm) and Highlands intertie (300 gpm) can supply 160,000 gallons and 72,000 gallons, respectively, during that period. The storage tanks can supply 1.8 million gallons during the four hour peak period. The System must also have adequate storage capacity in both the Upper and Lower pressure zones. The Upper Zone/Zone 1, which supplies 66% of the distribution system, consists of 963,000 gallons. The Lower Zone/Zone 2, which supplies 34% of the distribution system, consists of 785,000 gallons. The System has adequate storage capacity in each pressure zone. For the purposes of evaluating source capacity, it was assumed that the peak demand period coincides with the filters requiring 3 backwashes in a single day. The Highlands intertie can supply up to 300 gpm. Therefore, the System’s total source capacity, 300 gpm plus 0.96 MGD, is adequate (180% of the requirement). Another factor to consider, is the intake pumps cavitating as a result of the low lake level and the condition of the transmission main. The district’s new intake project and infrastructure has addressed this problem. 12 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 3.1.3 Address Konocti County Water District, 15844 35th Ave Clearlake CA 95422 email: konoctiwater@mchsi.com Phone: (707) 994-2561 Hours: 8:00 am – 04:30 pm Closed for lunch 12:00-1:00pm Website: www.konocticountywaterdistrict.com 3.1.4 Vision Statement The District's Vision is as follows:6 “To Provide High Quality Drinking Water” 3.1.5 Mission Statement The District's Mission is as follows: Konocti County Water District has been created to provide the following services for the community and its citizens: 1.

Section 63765, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations 6 Konocti CWD, https://konocticountywaterdistrict.com/, September 30, 2019. 7 Konocti County Water District, Financial Statements for the years ended June, 30, 2018 and 2017, prepared by Robert W. Johnson, an Accountancy Corporation, 6234 Birdcage Street, Citrus Heights, CA 95610, October 23, 2018, Page 26. 8 State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, Permit Report, Konocti County Water District, Amy Little, P.E., 7/11/2017, Pages 24-25. 13 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 requires that the person with overall responsibility for a treatment facility with a classification of T4 must be certified as a grade T4 water treatment plant operator (e.g., chief operator). Persons with eight-hour shift responsibility must be certified as grade T3 water treatment plant operators (e.g., shift operators). Mr. Frank Costner is the General Manager and shares primary responsibility for the operation of the entire system with Tom Parks. Also, all shift operators have a minimum of a grade T3 certification. There are operators-in- training that have reduced responsibility and the ability to contact either the shift or chief operator within an hour. Operators-in-training must have duties and ability to shift or chief operator specified in the approved Operations Plan. General Manager: Frank Costner T4/D2 Auditor/Secretary: Paula Gallizioli Tom Parks Chief Water Operator T4/D2 Paul Hanners Water Operator T4/D2 Scott Muchmore Water Operator T2/D2 Benjamin Illia Water Operator T3/D2 Ryan Strugnell Water Operator T3/D3 The water treatment plant is staffed for one shift between 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day of the week. The shift operator’s typical duties include the following: measure and record pH (raw, clarifier, and finished water), chemical dose rate, chlorine residuals, ozone residual, ambient air temperature, hours of operation of plant, plant flows, backwash time, operate the sludge press, measure finished water orthophosphate concentrations, and equipment maintenance and inspection. Moreover, major equipment or treatment process failures and corrective actions taken are recorded. Operators also have experience in performing repairs on chemical feeding systems with replacement parts available at the treatment plant. In addition to the shift operator on Monday through Friday, two operators make repairs and maintain equipment at the water treatment plant and a distribution operator spends time within the distribution system primarily replacing meters and adding new service connections. No operators are on duty after the daily shift, but the day shift operator is on call if they need to be notified by the treatment plant’s auto-dialer alarm system. In addition to the water treatment plant operators, the District also employs personnel that perform distribution system duties, such as repairing water main leaks, flushing, replacing water meters and installing new service connections. Distribution operators perform bacteriological sampling. The District has a 2008 Master Plan and prioritizes its projects based on age of existing equipment/infrastructure. The district plans to update this plan in about 3 years when its existing projects have been completed. 14 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 3.2 Konocti County Water District Water Source and Facilities The following information on the water source and processing facilities is included to show that the District has a complicated process to complete in order to provide safe drinking water to the residents of the District. 3.2.1 Water Source The district’s primary water supply is via a 1994 agreement to purchase up to 2,500 acre-feet per year with Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. This agreement was recently amended in 2017 and has been extended to December 31, 2025. The Agreement has a 10-year automatic renewal clause with a provision should the KCWD or the YCFCWCD desires not to renew. Cost of the water diversion per this agreement is $65.94 per acre foot. This agreement allows the district to store and divert water from Clear Lake for irrigation, domestic, municipal, and other beneficial uses. In the event of a water shortage from Clear Lake, municipal water use around Clear Lake shall have priority of over other uses. The Konocti County Water District has agreed not to divert water from Clear Lake at any location other than that set forth in the Yolo County Flood Control District agreement. To provide water within additional territory, an amendment to the agreement is required. There are two emergency water ties with the Highlands Mutual Water Company. In the event an emergency or disaster happens the Konocti Co. Water District shall notify the Yolo County Flood Control as soon as possible and shall receive permission from Yolo County Flood Control in the event the diversion lasts beyond thirty days. The State Department of Drinking Water describes the Konocti County Water District water source as follows: The District’s water source is Clear Lake. Clear Lake is a natural, fresh water lake created by a volcanic dike extending across the upper Cache Creek Channel. It is a large, shallow body of water (averages 6.5 meters), with approximately 71 miles of shoreline, 68.5 square miles of surface area, and an average depth of 26 feet. Lake level is controlled through a series of gates in a concrete dam. Most of the water rights belong to the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, even though the lake is located completely within Lake County. The District purchases all of its water from the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. The District currently has a 10-year agreement with the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, entered into on March 2017, to purchase up to 2,500 acre-feet per year of Clear Lake water. This agreement as written may be renewed every 10 years. The District does not own any riparian water rights to Clear Lake. 15 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Clear Lake is markedly eutrophic.9 Wave motion in the shallow water keeps the lake mixing, except for brief periods in mid- and late-summer. Particulate inflow from the watershed provides nutrients, which support an abundance of phytoplankton. During late summer toxic cyanobacteria blooms typically develop. More importantly, during drought segments (1975-1977 and 1987-1992), UC Davis documented that the cyanobacteria blooms dramatically increase due to additional nutrients being released within the sediments. This was supported during a recent drought, which peaked in 2014. Lake County administers permits to manage aquatic plants in Clear Lake. It’s important for the District to communicate the location of its intake in order to facilitate required setbacks for chemical applications. This source is Konocti CWD’s primary water source and is used on a daily basis.10 3.2.2 Intake Facilities The Konocti County Water District has a total of 930 gallons per minute or 1.3 million gallons of raw water per day using both intake water pumps. The surface water treatment plant can produce 864 gallons per minute. Depending upon the number of backwash events the maximum daily plant capacity ranges from 1.15 to 0.86 million gallons per day. Based on 3 backwashes per day the total source capacity is 0.96 MGD. The intake pumps for the Konocti CWD are described below: 11 The two intake pumps are located in a small pump house building on the shoreline of Clear Lake near the Redbud Park boat ramp just south of Beakban Island (which is within the boundary of the Highlands Water Company service area). The primary screened intake pipe is 8-inch diameter PVC. A second, backup intake line, installed parallel to the 8-inch PVC line, is a 6-inch diameter AC pipe.12 The invert of each intake is at an elevation of approximately 1,313 feet and lies approximately 15 feet below the surface of the water. Each intake runs approximately 8” is 400’. 6” is 600’ feet from the shoreline. Water is conveyed through the Highlands service area via the two transmission lines (switching to PVC) 6” line is still AC until old highway 53, which are buried beneath Ballpark Avenue and Old Highway 53 to the treatment plant at Pacific and Manzanita Avenues. Both transmission lines travel approximately 4,270 feet to the treatment plant where they junction into a 10 inch steel pipe. 9 Eutrophication (from Greek eutrophos, "well-nourished"), or hypertrophication, is when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae. This process may result in oxygen depletion of the water body. One example is an "algal bloom" or great increase of phytoplankton in a water body as a response to increased levels of nutrients. Eutrophication is often induced by the discharge of nitrate or phosphate-containing detergents, fertilizers, or sewage into an aquatic system. 10 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, page 1, July 18, 2017. 11 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, page 2, July 18, 2017. 12 The proposed intake line can typically be increased in area by 10%. The combined area of the 6-inch and 8-inch line is 78.6 in2. Increasing the area by 10% equates to 86.5 in2, or an internal 10-inch diameter line. Given life expectancy for intake structures is 35 years, the District office would like to expand on the typical capacity growth allowance. 16 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Both intake pumps can be selected to run on a variable frequency drive (VFD) controller and either pump can be used through either intake line. To adjust the speed of the pump, an operator must go to the pump house and adjust the potentiometer on the VFD controller. Raw water flow is controlled by SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition) from the plant. Typically, under normal demands only one pump is used at a given time. The State of California identified deficiencies associated with the intake facility in 2014, but has allowed the District until December 31, 2021 to upgrade this facility or to work with a neighboring water system.13The pump building and pumps are being replaced. The Raw water Pipeline to the plant is being replaced. The pipeline going into the lake is being extended into deeper water (1500’). Chemical systems (kmno4) are being replaced and a new backup generator placed into service. Raw water pumping will be increased to 1800 gpm with all three pumps (2-700 gpm pumps and 1-400 gpm pump) running. Part of the improvement projects will be a new clearwell tank increased from 100,000 to 500,000. 3.2.3 Water Storage The district has a total of 1.8 million gallons of water storage available to the distribution system with a pressure sustaining valve separating three pressure zones: Upper, Lower and the Bermuda Triangle Zone supplied by a pressure reducing valve supplied by the Upper Zone.

The combined flow passes downward in the flocculation The effective surface hood with the major portion of the water continuously area of each clarifier is recirculated. The balance flows under the flocculation hood 1,228 square foot. into the sludge blanket clarification zone. Flocculators are used at all times. The 2014 drought event resulted in an aerotype cyanobacteria bloom which would float in the clarifiers. This impacted filter operations tremendously and the operators devised two approaches to minimize accumulation of floc at the surface: (1) installed wood barriers, preventing algae from flowing through the holes into the weir, which had to be removed due to rotting state and (2) a surface sludge sucker was installed on the perimeter of the clarifiers. 3.2.6 Sedimentation/Clarification17 The purpose of sedimentation is to enhance the filtration process by removing particulates. Sedimentation is the process by which suspended particles are removed from the water by means of gravity or separation. The following section explains the sedimentation and clarification process for the Konocti CWD. Konocti County Water District Sedimentation and Clarification Number of Type of Basin Basin Basins Dimensions Two solids- Solids-contact upflow clarifier. (See previous description in (See previous contact the “Flocculation Section”.) Settled water is drawn off by description in upflow six evenly spaced radial-overflow weir troughs. These the clarifiers troughs have a series of small 1.25 inch diameter holes “Flocculation that collect the clarified water. Section”.) Clarified water is discharged to a surge tank (8 foot diameter, 14 feet high, welded steel with no roof cover). Sludge is discharged daily as follows: Settled solids from the bottom of the clarifier are continuously raked to the center sludge cone.Daily, a series of pumps (clarifier to tank, sludge decant to press, and a diatomaceous earth precoat press pump) are manually operated to pump 17 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, pages 3-4, July 18, 2017. 19 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 the sludge/slurry into the top of the thickener (15,000 gallon holding tank) before going through the sludge press. The rake speed in each clarifier can be manually adjusted from ten revolutions per hour down to one revolution per six hours. Due to the expense of discharging clarifier sludge to the sanitary sewer, in 1997, the District installed the filter press and thickener for dewatering sludge. The press produces filter cakes acceptable to the Lake County landfill. The left over water is recycled into the headworks of the plant. 3.2.7 Surge Tank18 The surge tank controls raw water pump operations and the filter pump operations. There is one surge tank, which is 14 feet high and 8 feet in diameter. The tank holds 5,261 gallons. The surge tank receives water from the clarifiers and delivers it to the filter pumps. 3.2.8 Filtration19 The basic filtration process is shown in the following three tables: Konocti County Water District Filter Pumps Number Capacity Normal Controlled By of Operational Pumps Mode 2 30 hp One pump On/off is controlled by the 92,000 gallon clearwell (650 used at a time level; A VFD* controller increases the pump gpm) (They could speed if the level in the surge tank is greater than 40 hp run both, but 11 feet and reduces it if the level is less than 11 (700 they never feet gpm) have.) *VFD is a variable frequency drive, a type of adjustable-speed drive used in electro- mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage.

At a minimum, there should be room to backwash each filter three times in a day. During normal operations, the filters are backwashed once a day. During high turbidity events filters could be backwashed twice a day. Extreme turbidity events will require the backwash return water flows to be increased . With three backwash events on three filters, four cells each and 8 minutes per cell to backwash and 5 minutes to filter-to-waste each filter, which amounts to 333 minutes of the plant offline. The backwash rate is typically 12 gpm/ft2 and a filter typically operates at 1.5 gpm/ft2. Backwashing for 288 minutes at 292 gpm generates a volume of 84,096 gallons. Filter-to-waste operations for 45 minutes at 144 gpm generates a volume of 6,480 gallons. The concrete settling basin should have a minimum volume of 90,500 gallons. Assuming the current 127,000 gallon settling basin is filled 20% with sludge, there is likely adequate space for backwashing three times a day but not four. Also, this does not provide time for the System to service the basin, e.g. removing the sludge, which is likely necessary during peak demand periods nor does it account for the need to backwash the carbon filters. Additionally, the sludge ponds are in poor condition and should be upgraded and/or replaced. Backwashing is performed when the GAC (granular activated carbon) filter effluent reaches 0..08 NTU (grab samples are measured for turbidity once per day) or when the pressure differential reaches 5 psi. This occurs about once every two weeks (summer) or once every month (winter). There needs to be room to backwash these filters during peak demand periods. Backwashing GAC usually takes about 15,000- 20,000 gallons each Operators must manually turn butterfly valves to coordinate the backwash process. Each filter is backwashed individually and the multimedia pressure filters have a filter-loading rate of 1.56-gpm/square foot. Backwash water is discharged to a 127,000 gallon settling basin. 3.2.10 Emergency Disinfection/Backup Disinfection21 In the event the chlorine generation systems fails, there are two means to apply a disinfectant at the water treatment plant. There are emergency procedures available to fill the bulk tank with(the district blends 12.5% cl2 with water to equal .8%) blended 12.5% to equal 0.8% solution strength of NaOCl (Sodium hypochlorite). 20 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, pages 9-10, July 18, 2017. 21 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, page 13, July 18, 2017. 21 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 The second system involves a separate chemical feed application. There is a 55-gallon crock with the ability to prepare a disinfectant system with an injection point upstream of the clearwell and post-GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filtration. During an August 2017 source water quality event, the System was delivering disinfectant directly to the clearwell to meet minimum disinfection requirements. In its review, the State of California stated that the backwash facilities may not have adequate capacity during peak demand periods. The District was originally requested to submit an evaluation of the backwash capacity by December 31, 2019.22 This date has been extended until July 1, 2023 since the State and the district are still evaluating the backwash facilities. 3.2.11 Chemical Feed Systems23 The Chemical Feed Pumps are shown on the following table. 22 State Water Resources Control Board letter to Frank Costner, General Manager, Konocti CWD, October 5, 2017. 23 Konocti County Water District, Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation, Department of Drinking Water Field Operations Branch, page 14, July 18, 2017. 22 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Konocti County Water District Chemical Feed Pumps* Chemical Feed Pump Calibration Number Capacity Dose Storage Type Cylinders Rate Frequency Control Potassium LMI** pump Daily 2 2.5 GPH manually 2% solution of Perman- type (Primary) KMnO4 in 100 gallon ganate 4.0 GPH located at the intake Carus/NSF (Backup) shed Ozone Baldor None 2 3 hp manually On-site generation centrifugal (77 gpm) using Pacific Ozone pump (2-22 pounds/day)2 20lb/day units Aluminum LMI pump Daily 1 2.5 GPD manually Plastic solution tank Chloride B911-393SI located in the Hydroxide chemical feed room (ACH) (NTU Tech/NSF) Backwash LMI pump Daily 1 2.5 GPH Manually Chemical Room ACH*** Hydro- LMI pump Daily 1 14.4 gpd Manually ~ 50 gallon plastic chloric Acid storage crock (Sierra contained in mobile Chem/NSF) plastic shelter (31.5%;SG =1.16) ProPAC LMI pump Daily 2 CO: 5 Manually 35 gallon plastic 9890 (Acts as gpd storage crock (NTU coagulant FA:24 (located in filter room Tech/NSF) and filter gpd and chemical room) (50%;SG= aid) 1.34) Liquid Alldos Daily 1 20.6 gph 2500 gallon Chlorine Piston flow and (Sodium Diaphragm residual Hypo- KM – 253 – paced by chlorite 67 scada 0.8%) Orthophos- LMI pump Daily 1 0.42 gph Manually 33 gallon barrels as phate A971-353SI delivered from (Carus manufacturer AquaMag located in the C10) chemical feed room *All chemical feed pumps are equipped with calibration cylinders and all dosages are confirmed daily. **LMI is a brand of pump. *** ACH Aluminum Chloride Hydroxide 23 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 3.2.12 Turbidity Monitoring24 Turbidity monitoring is important to the customers of the Konocti County Water District because it is something they can see directly in their drinking water.

The grant was used to complete the engineering and environmental review for the Water Treatment System Improvement Project. The Project included planning for a new intake line, raw water pump station, raw water main from the pump house to the treatment plant, complete the 8x30 filter and pumping system and a new clear-well and high-lift pump station. The District has applied for the construction/loan grant financing part of the project. The loan/grant will consist of a $5 million dollar grant and $3.7 million dollar loan. The District received an 8.4 million grant for this project and is going out to bid. The bid opening will be on September 3, 2020. The District is working with Lower Lake County Water District and Highlands Mutual Water Company to construct emergency inter-ties between the three service providers. Lower Lake County Water District is the lead agency for the project. Lower Lake has applied for and received a $246,693 technical assistance and outreach grant to do the environmental and engineering work. Konocti County Water District owns the property where the intertie between Lower Lake and Konocti will be constructed. Highlands Mutual Water Company owns the property where the intertie between Highlands Mutual Water Company and Konocti County Water District will be constructed pending grant funding including the following: Replaced 6”AC pipe on 18th Ave with 8” for the Cities paving project installed 4 new hydrants. Total cost $450,000 New vacuum escavator in 2020 for $73,000 Main line extension The District is working with RCAC30 on a rate study. RCAC has received a grant to fund the rate study. The District needs to raise capital to pay for the project, fund increases in operational expenses, and to increase their reserves. The last rate increase including a 5-year rate ordinance was completed in 2019.31 The District has completed the plant tanks and piping painting project. The treatment plant tanks, filters, steel piping and catwalks were painted for $102,150. 3.2.14 Fire Flows Fire hydrants are owned and maintained by the Konocti County Water District. Hydrants are most commonly used for fire suppression by firefighters and temporary use by businesses, and organizations. Hydrant flow tests are conducted to determine water availability in planning for firefighting activities, fire sprinkler systems or domestic water demand. The tests are also useful in determining the general condition of the water distribution system by detecting closed valves or wall deposits. A well-maintained water 30 Founded in 1978, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides training, technical and financial resources and advocacy so rural communities can achieve their goals and visions. RCAC’s work includes environmental infrastructure (water, wastewater and solid waste facilities); affordable housing development; economic and leadership development; and community development finance. 31 The Rate Study has been completed and the new rates are shown in Section 3.3 Fee Schedule. 26 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 system enables firefighters to extinguish flames and prevent large- scale damage or loss of life. Fire (Hydrant) Flow standards and testing procedures are included in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Bulletin NFPA 291. This document provides guidance on fire flow tests and marking of hydrants in order to determine and indicate the relative available fire service water supply from hydrants and to identify possible deficiencies which could be corrected to ensure adequate fire flows as needed. In the past, Fire Agencies performed fire flow testing. This is no longer the practice. Fire Agencies no longer perform fire flow testing due to liability reasons. This service is provided by water service providers. Determinations regarding the adequacy of fire flows are much more than the gallons per minute a fire hydrant yields. In fact, fire flow determinations are based on complex formulas as included in NFPA section 291. The adequacy of the fire flow is based on many factors including sprinklers within a development, the area the fire hydrant is located, the type of hydrant, land uses, water pressure and water pressure duration and the water flow itself. In the case of the Konocti County Water District and other water providers within the City of Clearlake the determination of the adequacy of fire flows is ultimately made by the Lake County Fire Protection District. The Konocti County Water District at this time maintains 97 fire hydrants as shown in Appendix C. Appendix C also includes a map showing the locations of the fire hydrants. The majority of these hydrants are Dry Barrel Hydrants. There are 17 Warfhead Hydrants. The District’s water distribution system identifies the size of the water lines within the District. The majority of the water lines are 6” and above. However, there are a few 4 and 2 inch lines. The backbone of the water system consists of 8 and 10 inch lines (see Appendix C). KCWD is a pressure system meaning water pressures depend upon gravity. There are 15 homes near the source tanks that have low water pressures meaning the fire flow in this area is lower. 3.3 Water Fee Comparison Schedule 3.3.1 Water Users A general fee comparison of other water districts or agencies is below. The Konocti County Water District prepares an annual comprehensive fee comparison analysis with other districts and water providers in Lake County. Circumstances, water rights, terrain, raw water costs, grant eligibility, age of the infrastructure, and management are only a few of the many factors that are included in the establishment of water rates. 27 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 According to the May 15, 2019 Konocti County Water District, a basic meter charge is $34.50 per month and a rate of $0.04 per cubic foot.

Instead of raising rates immediately the District wanted to slowly raise the rates over a 5-year period allowing customers to plan for increases in advance. The water usage charge is 3 cents for every 7.48 gallons of water used. Any water usage over14,960 gallons is charged 5 cents for every 7.48 gallons used. The new residential rates which took effect on June 1, 2019 are as follows: the base rate will increase slightly once a year every year for five years. The first increase will be $4.50 per month base rate. The water usage charge will go from 3 cents per 7.48 gallons to 4 cents per 7.48 gallons. There will not be an increase to the water usage for water used over 14,960 gallons. The new rate will stay at 4 cents for every 7.48 gallons no matter how much water is used. The second year the base rate will go up $1.38. The third year the base rate will go up $1.44. The fourth year the base rate will go up $1.49 and the fifth and final year of increases the base rate will go up $1.55 for a final base rate of $40.36. In the five years of proposed increases the base rate will go from $30 to $40.36.

An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Provinsalia Golf Community was submitted to the Division of Drinking Water in December 2005. The EIR describes a ten phase project with residential uses, including single family and multi-family residential units, with a maximum of 720 residential units allowed. Additionally, there are plans to build a clubhouse and an interpretive center. The System has completed a Master Plan to address the necessary plant upgrades to address the increased service. The City’s growth rate had become stagnent in the past couple years due to the fires. Prior to the fires the city had experienced a 4.4 percent population gain between 2010 and 2018. However, that growth has significantly declined according to the State of California, Dept of Finance projections for 2019. Assuming the growth rate returns to the levels experienced between 2010 and 2018, a 0.54% population growth rate can be expected. The planning and zoning for the area within the Konocti County Water District is under the jurisdiction of the City of Clearlake. The District and the City should maintain close communication with each other regarding plans for development within the District. 4.1.2 MSR Determinations on Growth and Population Projections for the Konocti County Water District Area MSR 1-1) The Konocti County Water District is within the City of Clearlake and the City has jurisdiction over planning and development. 4.2 Location and Characteristics of any Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUC) within or Contiguous to Konocti County Water District45 Purpose: To identify those areas with a Median Household Income of more than 20% of the State’s (MHI). 43 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (1) 44 State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, Permit Report, Konocti County Water District, Amy Little, P.E., 7/11/2017, Page 6. 45 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (2) 44 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 4.2.1 Determination of Konocti County Water District Area Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community (DUC) Status The Konocti County Water District has many low-income residents and is considered a “disadvantaged” community since the district has an income level of less than 20% of the Median Household income (MHI) of the state. The entire City including the Konocti County Water District is considered to be located in both a disadvantaged community as well as a severely disadvantaged community being more than 40% of the State MHI. 4.2.2 MSR Determinations on Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities near Konocti County Water District MSR 2-1) The Konocti County Water District located within the City of Clearlake is a Disadvantaged Community. 4.3 Konocti County Water District Capacity and Infrastructure Purpose: To evaluate the present and planned capacity of public facilities, adequacy of public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies including needs or deficiencies related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, and structural fire protection in any disadvantaged, communities within or contiguous to the sphere of influence.46 4.3.1 Capacity and Infrastructure Analysis The Konocti County Water District is one of four water systems serving the City of Clearlake. According to the State Water Resources Control Board – Division of Drinking Water report of July 11, 2017 the Konocti County Water District had 1,795 active service connections (of which 1,781 are single-family residential dwellings) serving 4,130 people. A total of 1.8 million gallons of storage is available to the distribution system. In 2014, the average maximum daily demand was 424.6 gallons per day per connection (average over a 10-year period). Based on the current number of active connections the maximum daily demand for the entire system is 762,000 gallons per day. The surface water treatment plant can produce 864 gallons per minute. Depending upon the number of backwash events the maximum daily plant capacity ranges from 1.15 to 0.86 million gallons per day. Based on 3 backwashes per day the total source capacity is 0.96 MGD. 46 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (3) 45 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 According to the State Water Resources Control Board (2017) The System must have adequate storage capacity to meet the peak hourly demand (PHD) for four hours. The PHD is 31,800 gallons per hour (GPH). Therefore, the System must have a minimum of 127,200 gallons available over a four hour period. The water treatment plant (666 gpm) and Highlands intertie (300 gpm) can supply 160,000 gallons and 72,000 gallons, respectively, during that period. The storage tanks can supply 1.8 million gallons during the four hour peak period. The System must also have adequate storage capacity in both the Upper and Lower pressure zones. The Upper Zone/Zone 1, which supplies 66% of the distribution system, consists of 963,000 gallons. The Lower Zone/Zone 2, which supplies 34% of the distribution system, consists of 785,000 gallons. The System has adequate storage capacity in each pressure zone. For the purposes of evaluating source capacity, it was assumed that the peak demand period coincides with the filters requiring 3 backwashes in a single day. The Highlands intertie can supply up to 300 gpm. Therefore, the System’s total source capacity, 300 gpm plus 0.96 MGD, is adequate (180% of the requirement). Another factor to consider, is the intake pumps cavitating as a result of the low lake level and the condition of the transmission main. The district’s new intake project and infrastructure has addressed this problem. The State reports the following regarding the Konocti County Water District water supply and treatment:47 The System is entitled to purchase from the Yolo County Flood Control and Conservation District up to 2,500 acre-feet per year of Clear Lake water. This is equivalent to 814.6 MG per year or 2.23 MGD. The System’s contract with Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District was renewed in 2017 and expires in 2026. In reviewing the agreement the geographic area of the district is consistent with the district boundary. The System must also maintain a Bed Management contract with Lake County (between the high water mark and zero Rumsey) and State of California (below zero Rumsey). According to the California Waterworks Standards, source capacity must equal or exceed maximum day demand. With the maximum day demand equal to 762,000 gallons and a total active source capacity of 0.96 MGD with a 300 gpm intertie, source capacity is adequate to meet demands. The System needed to rely on an intertie in 2014 in order to meet peak demands during a challenging water quality period and low Lake level. This is a principal reason to receive the $652,000 planning and technical assistance grant and the 8.4 million grant. Konocti County Water District has one treatment plant. The facility includes conventional treatment with additional treatment to meet turbidity performance standards, including pre-oxidants, coagulant/filtration aids, and granular activated carbon filtration. Filtration is achieved through pressure filtration and inactivation of pathogens is achieved through the application of sodium hypochlorite generated onsite. 47 State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, Permit Report, Konocti County Water District, Amy Little, P.E., 7/11/2017, Pages 8-10. 46 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Standard development practices require developers to provide the necessary infrastructure for new development. In most cases new or additional infrastructure to serve new development are not grant eligible. The District does not have the responsibility to ensure adequate infrastructure is present for new development. Some exceptions exist for low income areas and job creation activities. This KCWD as well as other districts have development standards that must be met to accommodate new development. Not being the land use authority it is necessary the City require new development to pay its way. In this effort it is necessary to comment on all city entitlement requests. Rate payers in the District should not be responsible to construct infrastructure for new development. 4.3.2 MSR Determinations on Capacity and Infrastructure for Konocti County Water District MSR 3-1) The Konocti County Water District is continuously working to improve the water treatment and delivery system. The district has the capacity to provide water service. The district currently has the source, treatment and storage capacity to serve its territory. This is a result of recent grants available for eligible public agencies. MSR 3-2) The Konocti County Water District should establish a schedule for Fire Flow Testing. For example, testing when new development is proposed or on a bi-annual basis notwithstanding a drought. MSR 3-3) The Konocti County Water District and the City of Clearlake need to cooperate in the Development review and entitlement process including building codes in the same manner as with the City and the Lake County FPD and Lake County Sanitary District and improvements must be constructed prior to new development. MSR 3-4 The Konocti County Water District realizes improvements from new development must be paid by new development since there is no grant money available to the district to pay for upgraded infrastructure for development. These costs should not be paid by existing customers. 4.4 Financial Ability to Provide Services48 Purpose: To evaluate factors that affect the financing of needed improvements and to identify practices or opportunities that may help eliminate unnecessary costs without decreasing service levels. 4.4.1 Financial Considerations for Konocti County Water District Analysis: The Konocti County Water District has an up-to-date fee schedule and adequate funds to operate the District. In addition, the District is eligible and has been granted 48 California Government Code Section 56430. (a) (4) 47 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 substantial amounts of money to upgrade its facilities for existing customers. The fee schedule, budget and audit information are current as shown in this report. 4.4.2 MSR Determinations on Financing for Konocti County Water District MSR 4-1) The Konocti County Water District maintains adequate finances to operate the District and complies with laws requiring a budget and an audit in a timely manner. MSR 4-2 The Konocti County Water District periodically updates its fee schedule and prepares annual comparisons with other districts within Lake County. MSR 4-3 The Konocti County Water District has annual audits prepared and complies with state laws regarding district auditing. MSR 4-4 The Konocti County Water District is successful in obtaining grant funding to upgrade facilities for existing customers. 4.5 Status of and Opportunities for Shared Facilities49 Purpose: To evaluate the opportunities for a jurisdiction to share facilities and resources to develop more efficient service delivery systems. 4.5.1 Facilities Analysis: There is not many things a water district can do to share its facilities. Like other water districts in Lake County small equipment is shared as needed. The Konocti County Water District has two interties to the Highlands Mutual Water Company as follows: 50 Intertie No. 1 – Konocti supplies Highlands Mutual Water Company This intertie is located near the Highlands Mutual Water Company’s 19th Avenue storage tank but the intertie is owned and maintained by Konocti CWD. It is a six- inch diameter main with a double check valve and the System gravity feeds Highlands Mutual Water Company. Given the current configuration, water can only flow from the District’s distribution system to Highlands Mutual Water Company. The intertie was tested fourteen years ago and problems were associated with the high pressures in the Konocti CWD system relative to the Highlands MWC system. Flow rates at this intertie are unknown and any future use will require a pressure regulator to be installed. There is no pump at this intertie to allow water to be discharged into the District’s system. If Konocti CWD needed to utilize this emergency intertie, flanges are available to install a temporary pump station. Intertie No. 2 – Highlands Mutual Water Company supplies Konocti 49 California Government Code Section 56430. (a)(5) 50 State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, Permit Report, Konocti County Water District, Amy Little, P.E., 7/11/2017, Page 8. 48 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 There is a six-inch interconnection with a 40 horse power booster pump (with an estimated 300 gpm capacity) that supplies the System’s ten-inch main leaving the water treatment plant. The booster pump is owned and operated by the Highlands Mutual. The intertie is located off Spruce Avenue on the property of two of Highland’s water tanks. The pump would discharge against a static hydraulic head of approximately 270 feet. Current plumbing does not allow water to gravity flow from the District to Highland’s distribution system. The Konocti County Water District is also working with the Lower Lake County Waterworks District to construct an intertie between the two districts. 4.5.2 MSR Determinations on Shared Facilities for Konocti County Water District MSR 5-1) The Konocti County Water District works with other water districts and water service providers as much as possible to provide better and more dependable service. MSR 5-2) The Konocti County Water District has two interties with Highlands and soon to be Lower Lake CWD. 4.6 Accountability for Community Service Needs, Government Structure and Operational Efficiencies52 Purpose: To consider the advantages and disadvantages of various government structures that could provide public services, to evaluate the management capabilities of the organization and to evaluate the accessibility and levels of public participation associated with the agency’s decision-making and management processes. 4.6.1 Government Structure The Konocti County Water District has a five-member board of directors and maintains a website to provide information to the public. The District supplied all the requested information needed to compile this report in a timely manner. The district complies with state codes regarding the operation of a public water system. 4.6.2 MSR Determinations on Local Accountability and Governance MSR 6-1) The Konocti County Water District maintains a five-member board of directors, which holds regular meetings open to the public. MSR 6-2) The Konocti County Water District appears to be a well managed district in that the district complies with state laws and seeks grant funding for large infrastructure projects. MSR 6-3) The Konocti County Water District maintains financial records, a budget and an audit. 52 California Government Code Section 56430. (a)(6). 49 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 MSR 6-4 The Konocti County Water District complies with the Brown Act, Public Records Act and the Political Reform Act. MSR 6-5 The Konocti County Water District provided LAFCo with documents as requested in a timely manner. MSR 6.6 The Konocti County Water District maintains a webpage consistent with state requirements. 50 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 5 KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT SPHERE OF INFLUENCE (SOI) 5.1 Recommendation for Konocti County Water District Sphere of Influence The Konocti County Water District Sphere of Influence should be expanded to allow the District to annex additional land including its intake facility on Lakeshore Blvd. on Clear Lake, which is owned by the District. In addition service area gaps within the City should be placed into the Konocti County Water district. The Sphere Map shows the areas to be included in the District’s Sphere of Influence. The District continuously undergoes infrastructure improvements and utilizes grant funding to the maximum extent possible to provide safe and reliable supply and improve capacity. 5.2 Present and Planned Land Uses in the Konocti County Water District Area, Including Agricultural and Open Space Lands53 5.2.1 City of Clearlake General Plan and Zoning for Konocti County Water District SOI Area The City of Clearlake General Plan shows primarily residential uses (both high- and low- density) within the Konocti County Water District but various other land uses are also shown. 5.2.2 SOI Determinations on Present and Planned Land Use for Konocti County Water District Area SOI 1-1] There is undeveloped land within the Konocti County Water District. Land uses will be determined by the City of Clearlake but all future development will require Konocti County Water District water service.

The Konocti County Water District is viewed as a necessary service utility rather than as a community boundary. 54 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(2) 55 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(3) 56 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(4) 52 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 5.5.2 SOI Determinations on Social or Economic Communities of Interest for Konocti County Water District SOI 4-1] The Konocti County Water District is a necessary service utility rather than a community boundary. 5.6 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status57 5.6.1 Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities The Konocti County Water District has many low-income residents as does the entire City of Clearlake and is considered “disadvantaged” and “severely disadvantaged”. 5.6.2 Konocti County Water District Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community Status SOI 5-1] The Konocti County Water District is within the City of Clearlake and has a median household income of less than 80% than that of the state and thus is a Disadvantaged Community albeit incorporated. The district also qualifies to be considered a severely disadvantaged community with a median household income of $30,318 which is 50% lower than California’s median household income. 57 California Government Code Section 56425 (e)(5) 53 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 APPENDIX A LOCAL GOVERNEMENT SPENDING ISSUES 1 Municipal Financial Constraints Municipal service providers are constrained in their capacity to finance services by the inability to increase property taxes, requirements for voter approval for new or increased taxes, and requirements of voter approval for parcel taxes and assessments used to finance services. Municipalities must obtain majority voter approval to increase or impose new general taxes and two-thirds voter approval for special taxes. Limitations on property tax rates and increases in taxable property values are financing constraints. Property tax revenues are subject to a formulaic allocation and are vulnerable to State budget needs. Agencies formed since the adoption of Proposition 13 in 1978 often lack adequate financing. 1.1 California Local Government Finance Background The financial ability of the cities and special districts to provide services is affected by financial constraints. City service providers rely on a variety of revenue sources to fund city operating costs as follows: Property Taxes Benefit Assessments Special Taxes Proposition 172 Funds Other contributions from city or district general funds. As a funding source, property taxes are constrained by statewide initiatives that have been passed by voters over the years and special legislation. Seven of these measures are explained below: A. Proposition 13 Proposition 13 (which California voters approved in 1978) has the following three impacts: • Limits the ad valorem property tax rate • Limits growth of the assessed value of property • Requires voter approval of certain local taxes. Generally, this measure fixes the ad valorem tax at one percent of value; except for taxes to repay certain voter approved bonded indebtedness. In response to the adoption of Proposition 13, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 8 (AB 8) in 1979 to establish property tax allocation formulas. B. AB 8 Generally, AB 8 allocates property tax revenue to the local agencies within each tax rate area based on the proportion each agency received during the three fiscal years preceding adoption of Proposition 13. This allocation formula benefits local agencies, which had relatively high tax rates at the time Proposition 13 was enacted. C. Proposition 98 Proposition 98, which California voters approved in 1988, requires the State to maintain a minimum level of school funding. In 1992 and 1993, the Legislature began shifting billions of local property taxes to schools in response to State budget deficits. Local property taxes were diverted from local governments into the Educational Revenue 54 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Augmentation Fund (ERAF) and transferred to school districts and community college districts to reduce the amount paid by the State general fund. Local agencies throughout the State lost significant property tax revenue due to this shift. Proposition 172 was enacted to help offset property tax revenue losses of cities and counties that were shifted to the ERAF for schools in 1992. D. Proposition 172 Proposition 172, enacted in 1993, provides the revenue of a half-cent sales tax to counties and cities for public safety purposes, including police, fire, district attorneys, corrections and lifeguards. Proposition 172 also requires cities and counties to continue providing public safety funding at or above the amount provided in FY 92-93. E. Proposition 218 Proposition 218, which California voters approved in 1996, requires voter- or property owner-approval of increased local taxes, assessments, and property-related fees. A two- thirds affirmative vote is required to impose a Special Tax, for example, a tax for a specific purpose such as a fire district special tax. However, majority voter approval is required for imposing or increasing general taxes such as business license or utility taxes, which can be used for any governmental purpose. These requirements do not apply to user fees, development impact fees and Mello-Roos districts. F. Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 allows any county, city, special district, school district or joint powers authority to establish a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (a “CFD”), which allows for financing of public improvements and services. The services and improvements that Mello-Roos CFDs can finance include streets, sewer systems and other basic infrastructure, police protection, fire protection, ambulance services, schools, parks, libraries, museums and other cultural facilities. By law, the CFD is also entitled to recover expenses needed to form the CFD and administer the annual special taxes and bonded debt. A CFD is created by a sponsoring local government agency. The proposed district will include all properties that will benefit from the improvements to be constructed or the services to be provided. A CFD cannot be formed without a two-thirds majority vote of residents living within the proposed boundaries. Or, if there are fewer than 12 residents, the vote is instead conducted of current landowners. In many cases, that may be a single owner or developer. Once approved, a Special Tax Lien is placed against each property in the CFD. Property owners then pay a Special Tax each year. If the project cost is high, municipal bonds will be sold by the CFD to provide the large amount of money initially needed to build the improvements or fund the services. The Special Tax cannot be directly based on the value of the property. Special Taxes instead are based on mathematical formulas that take into account property characteristics such as use of the property, square footage of the structure and lot size. The formula is 55 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 defined at the time of formation, and will include a maximum special tax amount and a percentage maximum annual increase. If bonds were issued by the CFD, special taxes will be charged annually until the bonds are paid off in full. Often, after bonds are paid off, a CFD will continue to charge a reduced fee to maintain the improvements. G. Development Impact Fees A county, cities, special districts, school districts, and private utilities may impose development impact fees on new construction for purposes of defraying the cost of putting in place public infrastructure and services to support new development. To impose development impact fees, a jurisdiction must justify the fees as an offset to the impact of future development on facilities. This usually requires a special financial study. The fees must be committed within five years to the projects for which they were collected, and the district, city or county must keep separate funds for each development impact fee. 1.2 Financing Opportunities that Require Voter Approval Financing opportunities that require voter approval include the following five taxes: 1. Special taxes such as parcel taxes 2. Increases in general taxes such as utility taxes 3. Sales and use taxes 4. Business license taxes 5. Transient occupancy taxes Communities may elect to form business improvement districts to finance supplemental services, or Mello-Roos districts to finance development-related infrastructure extension. Agencies may finance facilities with voter-approved (general obligation) bonded indebtedness. 1.3 Financing Opportunities that Do Not Require Voter Approval Financing opportunities that do not require voter approval include imposition of or increases in fees to more fully recover the costs of providing services, including user fees and Development Impact Fees to recover the actual cost of services provided and infrastructure. Development Impact Fees and user fees must be based on reasonable costs, and may be imposed and increased without voter approval. Development Impact Fees may not be used to subsidize operating costs. Agencies may also finance many types of facility improvements through bond instruments that do not require voter approval. Water rates and rate structures are not subject to regulation by other agencies. Utility providers may increase rates annually, and often do so. Generally, there is no voter approval requirement for rate increases, although notification of utility users is required. Water providers must maintain an enterprise fund for the respective utility separate from other funds, and may not use revenues to finance unrelated governmental activities. 56 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 2 Public Management Standards While public sector management standards do vary depending on the size and scope of an organization, there are minimum standards. Well-managed organizations do the following eight activities: 1. Evaluate employees annually. 2. Prepare a budget before the beginning of the fiscal year. 3. Conduct periodic financial audits to safeguard the public trust. 4. Maintain current financial records. 5. Periodically evaluate rates and fees. 6. Plan and budget for capital replacement needs. 7. Conduct advance planning for future growth. 8. Make best efforts to meet regulatory requirements. Most of the professionally managed and staffed agencies implement many of these best management practices. LAFCo encourages all local agencies to conduct timely financial record keeping for each city function and make financial information available to the public. 3 Public Participation in Government The Brown Act (California Government Code Section 54950 et seq.) is intended to insure that public boards shall take their actions openly and that deliberations shall be conducted openly.

Agriculture: Use of land for the production of food and fiber, including the growing of crops and/or the grazing of animals on natural prime or improved pastureland. Aquifer: An underground, water-bearing layer of earth, porous rock, sand, or gravel, through which water can seep or be held in natural storage. Aquifers generally hold sufficient water to be used as a water supply. Available Supply: the quantity of groundwater, which can be withdrawn annually from a groundwater basin without exceeding safe yield of the basin. Board of Directors: the legislative body or governing board of a district. Board of Supervisors: the legislative body or governing board of a county. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): A State Law requiring State and local agencies to regulate activities with consideration for environmental protection. If a proposed activity has the potential for a significant adverse environmental impact, an environmental impact report (EIR) must be prepared and certified as to its adequacy before taking action on the proposed project. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP): is a short-range plan, usually four to ten years, which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule and identifies options for financing the plan. Essentially, the plan provides a link between a municipality, school district, parks and recreation department and/or other local government entity and a comprehensive and strategic plans and the entity's annual budget. Census-Designated Place (CDP): a concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places such as cities, towns, and villages. CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places. CDPs are delineated solely to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. They include small rural communities, colonias located along the U.S. border with Mexico, and unincorporated resort and retirement communities. The boundaries of a CDP have no legal status. Thus, they may not always correspond with the local understanding of the area or community with the same name. However, criteria established for the 2010 Census require that a CDP name "be one that is recognized and used in daily communication by the residents of the community" (not "a name developed solely for planning or other purposes") and recommend that a CDP's boundaries be mapped based on the geographic extent associated with residents' use of the place name. Certified Public Accountant (CPA): the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination 62 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. Community Facilities District: Under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Section 53311, et seq.) a legislative body may create within its jurisdiction a special tax district that can finance tax-exempt bonds for the planning, design, acquisition, construction, and/or operation of public facilities, as well as public services for district residents. Special taxes levied solely within the district are used to repay the bonds. Environmental Impact Report (EIR): A report required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act that assesses all the environmental characteristics of an area, determines what effects or impact will result if the area is altered or disturbed by a proposed action, and identifies alternatives or other measures to avoid or reduce those impacts. (See California Environmental Quality Act.) Infrastructure: Public services and facilities such as sewage-disposal systems, water- supply systems, and other utility systems, schools and roads. Inhabited territory: Inhabited territory means territory within which there reside 12 or more registered voters. The number of registered voters as determined by the elections officer, shall be established as of the date a certificate of filing is issued by the executive officer. All other territory shall be deemed "uninhabited."58 IRWM: The Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Grant Program is a competitive grant program first created under the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002 (Proposition 50) with continuing funding provided by the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coast Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84). Complementary funding was also provided by the Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act or 2006 (Proposition 1E) for Storm water Flood Management Grant Program. The program is administered by the Department of Water Resources to award funds to local public agencies and non-profit organizations, for projects and programs to improve water supply reliability and improve and protect water quality. Such projects and programs must be consistent with an adopted IRWM Plan.59 Land Use Classification: A system for classifying and designating the appropriate use of properties. Leapfrog Development: New development separated from existing development by substantial vacant land. Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo): A five-or seven-member commission within each county that reviews and evaluates all proposals for formation of special districts, incorporation of cities, annexation to special districts or cities, consolidation of districts, and merger of districts with cities. Each county’s LAFCo is empowered to approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve such proposals. The LAFCo members generally include two county supervisors, two city council members, and one member 58 California Government Code Section 56046 59 State of California, http://bondaccountability.resources.ca.gov/Program.aspx?ProgramPK=14&Program=Integrated%20Regional%20Water% 20Management&PropositionPK=4, May 30, 2018. 63 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 representing the general public. Some LAFCOs include two representatives of special districts. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The designation given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to water-quality standards promulgated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The MCL is the greatest amount of a contaminant that can be present in drinking water without causing a risk to human health.60 Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residential Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Per Capita Water Use: The water produced by or introduced into the system of a water supplier divided by the total residential population; normally expressed in gallons per capita per day (gpcd). Percolation: The downward movement of water through the soil or alluvium to a ground water table. pH: a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity of water. Water with a pH of 7 is neutral; lower pH levels indicate increasing acidity, while pH levels higher than 7 indicate increasingly basic solutions.61 Potable Water: Water of a quality suitable for drinking.62 pound-force per square inch gauge (Psig): a unit of pressure relative to the surrounding atmosphere.63 Proposition 13: (Article XIIIA of the California Constitution) Passed in 1978, this proposition enacted sweeping changes to the California property tax system. Under Prop. 13, property taxes cannot exceed 1% of the value of the property and assessed valuations cannot increase by more than 2% per year. Property is subject to reassessment when there is a transfer of ownership or improvements are made.64 Proposition 218: (Article XIIID of the California Constitution) This proposition, named "The Right to Vote on Taxes Act", filled some of the perceived loopholes of Proposition 13. Under Proposition 218, assessments may only increase with a two-thirds majority 60 http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/dictionary.html 61 http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/dictionary.html#P, November 29, 2011. 62 http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/dictionary.html 63 http://www.convertunits.com/info/psig, March 27, 2012 64 http://www.californiataxdata.com/A_Free_Resources/glossary_PS.asp#ps_08 64 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 vote of the qualified voters within the District. In addition to the two-thirds voter approval requirement, Proposition 218 states that effective July 1, 1997, any assessments levied may not be more than the costs necessary to provide the service, proceeds may not be used for any other purpose other than providing the services intended, and assessments may only be levied for services that are immediately available to property owners.65 Public Health Goal (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below, which there is no known or expected risk to health. PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency. Ranchette: A single dwelling unit occupied by a non-farming household on a parcel of 2.5 to 20 acres that has been subdivided from agricultural land. Recharge: flow to groundwater storage from precipitation, infiltration from streams, irrigation, spreading basins and other sources of water. Regulatory Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Sanitary Sewer: A system of subterranean conduits that carries refuse liquids or waste matter to a plant where the sewage is treated, as contrasted with storm drainage systems (that carry surface water) and septic tanks or leech fields (that hold refuse liquids and waste matter on-site). Secondary Drinking Water Standards (SDWS): MCLs for contaminants that affect taste, odor, or appearance of the drinking water. Contaminants with SDWSs do not affect the health at the MCL levels. Sphere of Influence (SOI): The probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) of the county. Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Urban: Of, relating to, characteristic of, or constituting a city. Urban areas are generally characterized by moderate and higher density residential development (i.e., three or more dwelling units per acre), commercial development, and industrial development, and the availability of public services required for that development, specifically central water and sewer service, an extensive road network, public transit, and other such services (e.g., safety and emergency response). Development not providing such services may be “non-urban” or “rural”. CEQA defines “urbanized area” as an area that has a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile (Public Resources Code Section 21080.14(b)). Urban Services: Utilities (such as water, gas, electricity, and sewer) and public services (such as police, fire protection, schools, parks, and recreation) provided to an urbanized or urbanizing area. 65 http://www.californiataxdata.com/A_Free_Resources/glossary_PS.asp#ps_08 65 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 Variances and Exemptions: Department permission to exceed an MCL or not comply with a treatment technique under certain conditions. Zoning: The division of a city by legislative regulations into areas, or zones, that specify allowable uses for real property and size restrictions for buildings within these areas; a program that implements policies of the general plan. 66 LAKE LAFCo KONOCTI COUNTY WATER DISTRICT M SR AND SOI Adopted Nov 18, 2020 REFERENCES http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/dictionary.html http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/dictionary.html#P, November 29, 2011. http://www.californiataxdata.com/A_Free_Resources/glossary_PS.asp#ps_08 http://www.convertunits.com/info/psig, March 27, 2012 Konocti County Water District, June 30, 2017.
