EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Gateway Municipal Service Review study area encompasses the coastal plain area in the southeast portion of Los Angeles County. Western and Vermont Avenues generally form the western boundary, the Pacific Ocean lies to the south, Orange County forms the eastern boundary and SR-60 is to the north. This area overlies the Central Groundwater Basin, an adjudicated groundwater basin that has historically been overpumped. Land use in the study area is characterized by urban development, with a predominance of residential and commercial/industrial uses. The area is served by 21 public water agencies and multiple private water companies and water mutuals. The private water companies and mutuals are not under LAFCo purview. The area relies on a combination of groundwater, imported and recycled water for supply. SUMMARY OF DETERMINATIONS 1. Growth and Population The Gateway study area has an estimated population of 1,964,119 per SCAG 2004 projections. Growth through 2030 is expected to be slow to moderate with an average annual growth rate of approximately 0.65%. This would yield 13% growth over the next twenty years, which is less than the overall expected growth rate for Los Angeles County. Most agencies stated that their service areas were built-out and growth would come from infill and redevelopment. Redevelopment that replaces a former manufacturing use is not expected to result in increased water demand as manufacturing processes generally require significantly more water than residential or commercial demand. However, changes in densities from single family to multi-family residential may have a greater effect. 2. Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies The water supply for the region is provided through a combination of imported water, groundwater extracted from the Central Groundwater Basin, and recycled water produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The Central Basin is adjudicated, and each of the cities and retail special districts holds groundwater rights. Depending on their current infrastructure and demand, they are able to use this resource to meet all or a percentage of demand with imported water used to supplement supply. Some cities do not use imported water at all. In order to meet demand in the most cost effective manner, most of the agencies lease water rights as part of the mandatory water rights pool required by the judgment. Most of the municipalities are planning for new wells or the rehabilitation and improvement of existing wells and treatment/storage facilities. November 2005 – Final Report 1 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region Groundwater quality is of some concern. The historic overpumping caused the groundwater levels to fall below sea level, which allowed for seawater intrusion. The Central Basin is protected by the Alamitos Barrier in Long Beach. The Water Replenishment District uses recycled water to maintain the barrier through an agreement with the Orange County Water District. Imported water is wholesaled by the Central Basin Municipal Water District (Central Basin MWD) and delivered to the agencies directly from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) system. Long Beach and Compton are also Metropolitan members and purchase imported water directly from that agency. Recycled water is produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts at the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant in Cerritos and sold by the Central Basin MWD. It is available in a number of areas in the Gateway region. Overall, water supply is adequate to meet the future needs of the region provided imported water remains available. The agencies are collaborating on groundwater management and conjunctive use programs that will allow them to effectively maximize local resources while ensuring the sustainability and quality of the groundwater basin. Some of the agencies have Water System Master Plans and all have Capital Improvement Programs. They are being implemented based on available funding. Sativa-Los Angeles CWD is the only agency that does not have water meters. 3. Financing Constraints and Opportunities The cities are operating their water utilities as an enterprise activity such that revenues are expected to cover all water utility related expenses. However, escalating costs associated with personnel and benefits as well as cost increases for water purchases represent common financing constraints. Rate stabilization is a priority, and the agencies are not always able to pass on the full incremental cost increase within a given year. Some of the agencies are using financing mechanisms, such as loans, bonds or Certificates of Participation, to finance major capital improvements. Others are using a pay-as-you-go approach. Grant funding has been secured for some major projects. Some agencies have delayed capital improvements as a result of financial constraints. November 2005 – Final Report 2 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region 4 and 5. Cost-Avoidance Opportunities and Opportunities for Shared Facilities Most agencies are avoiding future costs through maximizing the use of local resources and limiting use of imported supply. The agencies each have planning documents that enable them to efficiently plan for operations and future system improvements. Agencies are sharing facilities where appropriate, particularly in regards to emergency intertie connections and recycled water. 6. Management Efficiencies The agencies demonstrated a number of methods for achieving management efficiencies including performance measurements and the use of strategic plans and objectives accompanied by work plans. 7. Opportunities for Rate Restructuring Rate structures in use include both flat and tiered; several of the cities have increased rates within the past few years or are considering a rate increase. A comparison of rates based on a 5/8” meter and water usage of 20 hundred cubic feet indicate that they are within an acceptable range. The City of Signal Hill has the highest rates in the study area. Sativa-Los Angeles CWD charges a flat rate as they have no metered accounts. Central Basin MWD uses the rate structure established by Metropolitan and includes a surcharge of $37 per acre foot for treated water. Recycled water rates are reviewed annually and are based on an inverted tier structure such that higher volumes are sold at a discounted price. 8. Government Structure Options Some agencies are providing service to connections outside of their boundaries. Out of agency agreements that were in place prior to January 1, 2001 do not require LAFCo approval per Government Code §56133 (e). The Water Replenishment District is evaluating the possibility of annexing area that overlies the Central Groundwater Basin where no active groundwater management is occurring. This may result in more effective management of the groundwater resources; however it would impose a new charge for groundwater use in the area annexed. Due to the size of its service area, condition of the infrastructure, and financial resources, it is recommended that LAFCO consider adopting a zero sphere of influence for the Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District. The District is adjacent to the City of Compton. November 2005 – Final Report 3 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region 9. Local Accountability and Governance The cities are locally accountable and demonstrating good governance practices. All of the cities as well as the two larger special districts have websites used for public notice as well as dissemination of information on water service. Following is a map of the Gateway region and a schematic depicting the water supply for the study area.

NP – data not provided; NA – not available November 2005 – Final Report 42 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region The Gateway region includes a broad range of urban land uses, densities, and development intensities. Residential land use varies from high-density infill to low density single family residences on small lots. Commercial and industrial enterprises within the region generate significant water demand due to operations and manufacturing processes with demand fluctuating due to economic conditions. The Gateway region is mature, and generally considered built-out. The modest growth projected over the next twenty years will primarily be a result of infill and redevelopment. There is a trend to rezone some single-family residential for multi-family use. Overall Los Angeles County experienced a 12% population increase from 1990 to 2000, with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) projecting an overall 19% increase through 2020. Growth within the Gateway region is expected to be approximately 13% through 2020, less than the county-wide average.

The following figure, Figure 3.1 Supply/Demand Forecast - Based on Population Projections, shows the estimated supply and demand based on data reported by the water agencies in the Gateway MSR study area as well as SCAG population projections. The questionnaire submitted to the agencies by LA LAFCO did not request projections for supply and demand; therefore the data has been obtained from the agencies’ 2000 Urban Water Management Plans and other supporting documentation. It is recommended that the agency profiles in Section 2.0 be updated following the completion of the 2005 Urban Water Management Plans in order to maintain accurate agency projections on future supply and demand. Figure 3.1 – Gateway Region Supply/Demand Forecast Based on Population Projections Supply Demand Population Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region 3.2.1 Water Supply/Demand The Gateway area currently relies on a combination of groundwater, imported, and recycled water to meet demand. Historically the area has relied on groundwater in the Central Basin for supply. However, with no oversight or management and years of overpumping, the groundwater resources diminished. In 1957, the accumulated overdraft in the Central Basin was nearly 1 million acre-feet, and groundwater levels had dropped to below sea level. With the Central Basin Judgment, the area’s groundwater resources have improved due to management controls and programs to ensure sustainable use and water quality. Imported water is supplied by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California through the Central Basin Municipal Water District and the Cities of Long Beach and Compton. Recycled water has become an increasingly important source of supply. The Central Basin MWD purchases recycled water from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts to resell within its service area. The groundwater in the Central Basin is at risk for impacts by seawater; however the Alamitos intrusion barrier effectively protects the Basin from further impacts. In the northern portion of the Basin, extraction wells are removing contaminated groundwater so it does not migrate to the Central Basin’s core aquifers. Groundwater Supply The groundwater source for the Gateway region is the Central Basin. The Central Basin adjudication is 217,367 acre-feet per year. Allowable pumping allocations are limited to 80% of pumping rights. The original judgment allowed for the water purveyors to pump groundwater in excess of replenishment, which caused the basin water quality and supply to deteriorate. To ensure adequate supply, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District has created spreading basins and the Water Replenishment District replenishes the groundwater based on the amount extracted. The judgment includes carryover rights up to 20% such that unpumped water rights may be carried over into the next year. If pumping exceeds 120%, then there is a corresponding reduction in the following year. The 1991 amendment to the judgment included an exemption for contamination extraction. A Conjunctive Use Study that was completed models several pumping scenarios to develop a range of hypothetical impacts to the basin. One of the models includes increasing the pumping allowance to 90% of pumping rights, which would increase allowable extractions by 27,170.9 acre-feet per year. Approximately 25 cities and agencies have expressed interest in participating in a conjunctive use project that would utilize available storage in the Central Basin within the terms and conditions of the exiting Central Basin Judgment. The City of Downey is acting as the lead for this effort. Per the Judgment, a maximum of 40% of the Allowed Pumping Allocation (APA) can be used for storage in the Basin. The proposed project involves installing several Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells which would be used to recharge the basin with purchased MWD water during winter months when excess MWD water is available. The stored water would be extracted during periods of drought when MWD deliveries are November 2005 – Final Report 45 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region curtailed. The project currently proposes to install several 1,000-1,500 gpm ASR wells. Although the wells would be located in only a few cities, participants in the program would be able to extract the stored water with their own facilities as the Judgment does not limit the extraction of the stored water the area where it was introduced. The estimated cost for design and construction of each well is $1.5 to $2 million. Funding would be sought through a Prop 50 construction grant. Groundwater quality is a continuing concern. Norwalk is currently the lead agency of the Southeast Water Coalition, a JPA of cities working to prevent the migration of groundwater contamination from the Whittier Narrows to the Central Basin. The JPA also cooperates on regional groundwater quality issues. Imported Water Supply The Metropolitan Water District provides imported water from both the State Water Project (SWP) and the Colorado River to the Gateway area through its member agencies, Central Basin MWD and the Cities of Long Beach and Compton. Although SWP Contractors have an assigned allotment each year, the actual amount delivered varies depending on water availability in the Bay-Delta and other northern California sources. For 2004, the southern California contractors received 65% of their prescribed allotment. The southern California SWP contractors actively manage the procurement process to ensure reliability and cost control. Opportunities to use water transfers, banking and off-season deliveries are exercised if they are beneficial to the region and member agencies. The Central Basin MWD relies on MWD for demand projections and ensuring the reliability of imported supply. Recycled Water Supply Recycled water has played an increasingly important role in the Gateway area as it effectively serves to offset potable demand for use in the landscape, industrial processes and other innovative applications. Recycled water is produced by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and is available through the Central Basin MWD in many areas within the Gateway area. The recycled water program has received funding from Metropolitan as well as federal and State grants to finance infrastructure investment and program development. The largest recycled water user is the Water Replenishment District. Balancing Supply and Demand Most of the agencies are using demand management measures to reduce demand, and conservation plays a critical role. Individually and through the wholesaling agencies, the retailers are engaged in conservation programs and activities including public outreach, rebates, education and incentives. The California Water Code Division 6, Sections 10610 et seq., Urban Water Management Planning Act, as amended January 1, 2002 requires all Urban Water Management Plans to be updated in 2005. This November 2005 – Final Report 46 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region will provide an opportunity for the agencies to re-evaluate and updated projected population, water supply and demand within their respective service areas. Water supply and demand for each of the public water districts in the Gateway MSR study area is summarized below in Table 3.3 – Supply and Demand Summary.

The District is closely related to, and shares administrative facilities with the West Basin Municipal Water District. Central Basin MWD’s service area overlies the adjudicated Central Basin. Although the District does not have groundwater rights, it is actively involved in the management of the Basin, including replenishment and conjunctive use. Groundwater is intended to be the primary water source in the area, with imported water used as a supplement. Groundwater and recycled water effectively meet a significant portion of the area’s water demands. Central Basin MWD provides imported water to 24 cities as well as numerous mutual water companies, investor-owned utilities, water districts and private companies within its service area. Most of these entities has its own connection to the Metropolitan system or takes delivery through an adjoining agency; Central Basin MWD does not store, treat or physically deliver any of the imported water. Central Basin MWD relies on Metropolitan for planning, forecasting future demand, and maintaining a reliable supply. In the early 1990’s the Central Basin MWD expanded its services to include aggressive programs for water conservation and water recycling. Demand for recycled water is growing for use in a variety of applications such as landscape irrigation, cooling towers, refineries, street sweeping, and toilet flushing. The Central Basin MWD’s infrastructure is primarily related to its recycled water delivery system and groundwater protection. The imported water treatment and delivery system is under the purview of Metropolitan. Contaminated groundwater from the San Gabriel Basin has entered the Central Basin. The District is constructing a capture well system to prevent the contamination from migrating further south November 2005 – Final Report 54 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region into the main Central Basin aquifers. The project includes 3 capture wells, a pump station, pipelines to dispose of the water, and treatment facilities to meet drinking water quality standards. La Habra Heights County Water District The La Habra Heights CWD has pumping rights to 2,498 acre-feet annually from the Central Basin. The District augments this supply with imported water from the Central Basin MWD. The District has four wells in production and the booster plant was constructed in 2000. All facilities are in good condition. The District has emergency interties with the California Domestic Water Company and the Suburban Water Company. The La Habra Heights CWD service area is divided into upper and lower service zones. La Habra Heights and the Orchard Dale WD have jointly constructed two new wells and a 4 million-gallon reservoir. La Habra Heights is planning to construct additional storage facilities for the upper zone. Other recommendations in the District’s Master Plan include replacing three older wells within the next ten years, upgrade or replace booster pump stations when efficiency falls below 65%, install backup power generators, and construct distribution system improvements to increase fire suppression capabilities in specific areas. The District has received a Class 1 ISO rating for its water system, the highest rating available. Orchard Dale Water District The Orchard Dale WD relies on both groundwater and imported water. The District has pumping rights for 1,107 acre-feet of groundwater and has a base allocation of 1,750 acre-feet per year for imported water through Central Basin MWD. In 2002, the District only extracted 1,002 AF of groundwater and took deliver of 1,359 acre-feet of imported water, well below its allotment. The District uses the conservation programs offered by the Central Basin MWD. Recycled water from the Central Basin MWD is expected to be available in Orchard’s service area before 2010. The District’s treatment facilities were constructed in 1973 and are in good condition. The District has five reservoirs for potable storage, constructed between 1959 and 1973; all are in good condition. In addition to the joint facilities constructed with the La Habra Heights CWD, Orchard Dale has also built a new District office and maintenance facility, installed new disinfection equipment, upgraded two pump stations, and replaced control valves at reservoirs and at the MWD connection. The District has also installed new system operating controls with security enhancements. The District has one emergency intertie with the Suburban Water Company. No infrastructure needs or deficiencies were noted by the District, and there are no areas with excess capacity. November 2005 – Final Report 55 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region Pico Water District The Pico Water District relies on groundwater for its source of supply. The District holds pumping rights for 3,624 acre-feet per year. In the future, the District will require new development to secure additional water rights as a condition of approval. The District does not provide water conservation services and expects that water demand will increase to 3,900 acre-feet per year due to redevelopment within its service area. The District has seven wells; six are in good condition and have no contamination. The seventh well is no longer used due to high iron levels and radon. The storage reservoir was constructed in 1959 and is in good condition. Sativa – Los Angeles County Water District The Sativa-Los Angeles CWD is dependent on groundwater for its source of supply. Sativa has pumping rights for 474 acre-feet per year and leases additional water rights to meet demand of 828 acre-feet. The District does not provide water conservation services. The District has four treatment plant locations and has three active wells with one inactive well. The treatment facilities were constructed in 1938 and are reported in good condition. The District received a grant from the Central Basin MWD for reconstruction of a water tank. The District noted that water mains need to be upgraded, relocating services from the rear of properties and alley ways in order to prevent structures being built over service lines. This would also improve access for routine service and emergencies. Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District is responsible for groundwater management in the West and Central Groundwater Basins. As such, it provides groundwater recharge programs as well as seawater intrusion barriers and groundwater cleanup. The District has an extensive Capital Improvements Program that includes ASR wells, pipelines, desalter expansion, spreading grounds, water treatment facilities and rubber dams on the San Gabriel River. The District partners with other agencies on a number of its projects in order to leverage resources. November 2005 – Final Report 56 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region 3.3 FINANCING CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES 3.3.1 Revenue Source and Funding The water agencies included in this service review receive the majority of their revenue from water sales and user fees and charges. Most are operating as an enterprise activity such that revenues are expected to cover all water utility related expenses. However, escalating costs associated with personnel and benefits as well as cost increases for water purchases represent common financing constraints. Rate stabilization is a priority, and the agencies are not always able to pass on the full incremental cost increase within a given year. In additional to internal cost increases, the agencies are subject to the pressures of revenue changes implemented by outside agencies. The State budget act of 2004 significantly changed how local revenues are allocated. Each of the cities will be required to contribute to the State’s general fund for FY 2004- 2005 and FY 2005-2006, which may impact the water utilities in some way through inter-fund transfers and more stringent cost allocations. Proposition 1A, approved by voters in November 2004, establishes limitations and protects local revenues from State re-allocations in the future. The impact of the revenue changes in 2004 will likely impact the cities for several years as they seek to recover and restore programs to levels that residents have come to expect. 3.3.2 Revenues and Expenses Comparison Each of the cities accounts for its water utility service through a proprietary or enterprise fund. This enables them to track direct and related revenue and expenses as well as cost allocations from other municipal departments providing related services. The following Figure 3.2 –2003-2004 Financial Information, compares the revenues, expenses, reserves and capital improvement program costs of each public water agency reviewed. In cases where FY 2004 was not provided, FY 2003 was used. This does not create a material discrepancy for data evaluation as it provides some measure of past financial condition.

Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District reviews its rate annually and makes adjustments based on costs. The District charges a flat per acre-foot rate based on the amount of groundwater extracted. November 2005 – Final Report 74 Los Angeles LAFCO Municipal Service Review Report Water Service – Gateway Region 3.7 GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS Some of the agencies are providing service outside their current boundaries; per Government Code §56133 (e), out of agency agreements that were in place prior to January 1, 2001 do not require LAFCo approval. No alternative government structure options were noted, except as discussed below. The City of Norwalk noted that the City would be better provided if the entire City were serviced by the City’s water utility. This would expand the rate base to allow timely capital improvements while providing lower cost service with high water quality. However, this is not a boundary issue that LAFCO has jurisdiction over as the other purveyors are private entities. The City would need to seek other avenues to expand its service area, such as acquisition or eminent domain. The Central Basin Municipal Water District noted that it is providing recycled water to one connection within its sphere of influence but outside its boundaries. Central Basin should ensure that LAFCO has a current map of all out-of-agency service areas as well as copies of the agreements. The Water Replenishment District is currently evaluating the possibility of annexing areas of the Central Groundwater Basin that are not currently within the District’s boundary. Some areas such as the area between the District’s northern boundary and the Hollywood Groundwater Basin do not have active groundwater management. LAFCO may consider increasing the District’s sphere of influence to include adjacent areas where groundwater resources are not actively managed. Benefits include more effective groundwater management and economies of scale. However, this may result in a new charge for groundwater extracted within the annexing area. Due to the size of its service area, condition of the infrastructure, and financial resources, it is recommended that LAFCO consider adopting a zero sphere of influence for the Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District. The District is adjacent to the City of Compton. The District serves a half-square mile area and is not projecting for any growth. There are no metered accounts and no funding has been allocated for capital improvements. With a zero sphere of influence, the District will continue to operate. However, the area may be added to the sphere of another agency with the objective that eventually service would be provided by the other agency at some point in the future. Los Angles LAFCO should initiate discussions with the District to determine if a reorganization might increase efficiencies and reach economies of scale.
