SUBJECT: Second Introduction of Ordinance No. 23-806 Amending Section 2-1.406 (Closed Sessions) of Article 4 (Meetings) of Chapter 1 (City Council) of Title 2 (Administration) of the California City Municipal Code
_____________________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
California City Municipal Code Section 2-1.406(b) states that all closed session meetings of the City Council are to be recorded and kept for a total of five years. Closed sessions authorized under the Ralph M. Brown Act (“The Act”) are conducted outside the purview of the general public due to the confidential nature of the information that is shared in such meetings. The legislature intended for the information to be kept confidential due to the need for public agencies to protect certain interests that are not best served by public disclosure. These meetings are generally not recorded as The Act prescribes the manner in which actions and decisions are to be reported out to the public.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 23-806 Amending Section 2-1.406 (Closed Sessions) of Article 4 (Meetings) of Chapter 1 (City Council) of Title 2 (Administration) of the California City Municipal Code, provide second reading by title only and waiver further reading.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
OCTOBER 24, 2023
PREPARED BY: Victor Ponto, City Attorney
Robert F. Messinger, Esq.

SUBJECT: Public Services Special Parcel Tax
______________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
In 2018, the California City electorate approved the California City Public Safety Only Special Parcel Tax Ordinance of 2018 (the “2018 Tax Ordinance”) by a two-thirds vote.

The proceeds of the tax is divided evenly to fund police services and fire services within the City. The 2018 Tax Ordinance contains a sunset provision and will expire following the 2023-2024 tax year.

If it is the desire of the City Council to place a special tax ordinance before the voters to replace the expiring 2018 Tax Ordinance, the City Council may call a Special Municipal Election to be held on March 5, 2023 for the purpose of submitting to the voters a ballot measure on a special parcel tax. Prior to the holding of an election, the City must adopt two resolutions in relation thereto.

The first resolution calls and gives notice of holding an election, directs the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis, and adopts regulations for ballot arguments. Priority for arguments is given to the City Council, or members thereof. The due date for submittal of direct arguments to the City Clerk would be Tuesday, November 28, 2023, by five p.m., followed by a public review period, with rebuttal arguments filed no later than five p.m. on Friday, December 8, 2023.

The second resolution requests the Kern County Board of Supervisors to allow consolidation with the Statewide election being held on the same day and to direct the County Elections Division to render services.

DISCUSSION
The draft vacancy tax ordinance presented with this agenda report reflects the input of the City Council from its meeting of October 10, 2023, with respect to the major issues and options associated with such a tax. As a preliminary matter, a special parcel tax 2 October 24, 2023
may be enacted only as a special tax requiring a two-thirds vote and the proceeds dedicated to a special purpose. The draft special parcel tax ordinance contains a purpose statement that the tax is solely for the purpose of raising revenue necessary to support and fund essential public services (including law enforcement, fire protection, personnel services, City operations and maintenance, and capital outlays). Revenues raised by the special tax shall not be used for any municipal function funded through an enterprise fund or the housing fund. The two major issues for which direction is needed are (1) the rate of the tax, and (2) whether to include in the ordinance, and the length of, a sunset provision.

Also presented with this staff report for City Council input is draft ballot question language. Ballot question language is limited by statute to 75 words. The draft language presented contains 74 words.

Subject to the City Council adopting the necessary resolutions at its meeting of November 14, 2023, calling the election and placing the ordinance on the ballot, the date of the election on the special parcel tax ordinance will be the statewide presidential primary election to be held on March 5, 2024.

A Resolution calling and giving notice of the special municipal election must be submitted to the County no later than 88 days prior to the election (December 8, 2023).

This resolution is to call the City’s Special Municipal Election to submit to the voters the Special Parcel Tax measure.

A Resolution will be submitted to the County concurrently with the Resolution calling and giving notice of the special municipal election that requests the Board of Supervisors to consolidate the City’s election with other elections on the same date the County will conduct the Statewide Presidential Primary election and to permit the County Elections Division to take any and all steps necessary for the holding of the election. The services to be provided by the County Elections Division include, but are not limited to, the appointment of all required election officers and establishment of polling places; publishing the notice of appointment of election officers, preparing and mailing the official and sample ballots including arguments, process vote by mail ballots; supply all needed materials for polling places; conduct the election, canvass the election returns and certify the results. The City would reimburse the County for the costs of providing the services.

FISCAL IMPACT
The existing special parcel tax generates approximately $6.4 million in revenue. The City’s general fund as set forth in the FY 2022-2023 California City Adopted Budget was $7.6 million.

RECOMMENDATION
3 October 24, 2023
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) conduct a public hearing to receive public input on the issue of a special parcel tax ballot measure, and (2) provide staff direction on the two major unresolved issues with the draft special parcel tax ordinance, and on any other matter of interest or concern with respect to the draft ordinance.

CALIFORNIA CITY
The people of the City of California City do ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Title 3, Chapter 2, Article 1 of the California City Municipal Code is hereby amended by repealing and replacing Division 5, Special Parcel Tax, to read as follows:
“DIVISION 5. – SPECIAL PARCEL TAX
SECTION:

Sec. 3-2.1.501. - Short title.

Sec. 3-2.1.502. - Specific Purposes of the Special Tax.

Sec. 3-2.1.503. - Tax levied.

Sec. 3-2.1.504. - Maximum rate.

Sec. 3-2.1.505. - Rate reduction.

Sec. 3-2.1.506. - Annual proceedings.

Sec. 3-2.1.507. - Collection.

Sec. 3-2.1.508. - Accounts for Deposit of Special Tax.

Sec. 3-2.1.509. - Accountability.

Sec. 3-2.1.510. - Duration.

Sec. 3-2.1.511. - Appropriation Limit.

Sec. 3-2.1.512. - Amendment.

Sec. 3-2.1.501. - Short title.

This Division may be referenced to as the California City Public Services Special Parcel Tax Ordinance of 2024.

Sec. 3-2.1.502. - Specific Purposes of the Special Tax.

The taxes imposed under this Ordinance are solely for the purpose of raising revenue necessary to support and fund essential public services (including law enforcement, fire protection, personnel services, City operations and maintenance, and capital outlays). Revenues raised by the special tax shall not be used for any municipal function funded through an enterprise fund or the housing fund. Because the proceeds of the parcel tax will be deposited into a special fund restricted for the services and programs specified in this Ordinance, the tax is a special tax. The tax imposed by this Ordinance is enacted pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution and Article 5 October 24, 2023

3.5 of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the California Government Code, commencing with Section 50075.

Sec. 3-2.1.503. - Tax levied.

An annual special tax is hereby levied by the City on all lots and parcels within the boundaries of the City other than lots and parcels that (i) are exempt from this tax pursuant to the Constitution or laws of the United States or of the Constitution or laws of the State of California or (ii) are exempt from the ad valorem property tax or have an ad valorem property tax liability of zero.

Sec. 3-2.1.504. - Maximum rate.

The rate of the tax against each lot and parcel in any tax year shall not exceed fifty cents per day, less the daily per parcel rate reduction for that tax year calculated pursuant to Section 3-

2.1.505.

Sec. 3-2.1.505. - Rate reduction.
(a) For each tax year, the Finance Director shall calculate a daily per parcel rate reduction. He or she shall present his or her calculation of the rate reduction to the City Council as part of the budget process.
(b) The daily per parcel rate reduction shall be the amount, calculated on a per parcel per day basis (and rounded down to the nearest cent), that would be necessary to raise an amount of revenue equal to ninety percent of "new revenue." (c) For purposes of this section, "new revenue" means the amount calculated by subtracting the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 from the "qualified revenue" collected (or projected by the Finance Director to be collected) during the fiscal year immediately prior to the current tax year. For example, for purposes of calculating the rate reduction applicable to the tax levied in Tax Year 2020-2021, "new revenue" would be calculated by subtracting the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 from the "qualified revenue" collected in Fiscal Year2019-2020.
(d) For purposes of this section, "qualified revenue" means all tax receipts from (i) the ad valorem property tax; (ii) the sales and use tax imposed pursuant to the Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law of the City of California City; and (iii) the cannabis business tax imposed pursuant to Section3-2.8.050 of this Code.

Sec. 3-2.1.506. - Annual proceedings.

The City Council is authorized to determine for each tax year, by ordinance or resolution, the tax levied against each lot or parcel. The tax for a tax year shall be calculated based on a single flat rate per lot or parcel. The ordinance or resolution shall list each taxed lot or parcel by 6 October 24, 2023
assessor's parcel number. The ordinance or resolution shall constitute the official record of the assessment of the special tax, and a copy thereof, together with any other pertinent data, shall be transmitted to the appropriate county officials to facilitate collection of the tax.

The tax levied against any lot or parcel pursuant to this section for a tax year shall be no greater than 365 (or 366 if the tax year contains a leap day) times the daily rate permissible pursuant to Section 3-2.1.504.

Sec. 3-2.1.507. - Collection.

The tax shall be collected by the County of Kern in the same manner and subject to the same penalty and procedure as ad valorem property taxes collected by the county. Unpaid taxes shall bear interest at the same rate as the rate for unpaid ad valorem property taxes until paid.

The county may deduct its reasonable costs incurred for the service before remittal of the balance to the city.

Sec. 3-2.1.508. - Accounts for Deposit of Special Tax.

All tax proceeds received shall be deposited into an account that shall be named the “Essential Public Services Special Tax Fund.” Special Tax revenues deposited in the Essential Public Services Special Tax Fund, and earning thereon, shall be used only for city administrative expenses, personnel services, operations and maintenance, equipment, vehicles, supplies, capital outlays, law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services, and code enforcement.

Sec. 3-2.1.509. - Accountability.

For so long as proceeds of the tax remain unexpended, and in accordance with Government Code Section 50075.3, the Finance Director of the City shall file an annual report with the City Council stating the amount of taxes collected, the amount expended, and the purpose of the expenditures. Such annual report shall relate to the Fiscal Year most recently ended and may be incorporated into or filed with the annual budget, audit or other appropriate routine report to the City Council.

Sec. 3-2.1.510. - Duration.

The levy of tax shall commence with tax year 2024-25. The final levy of the tax shall be for tax year 20__-20__, unless the tax is extended by a vote of the people.

Sec. 3-2.1.511. – Appropriation Limit.

Pursuant to the California Constitution, article XIIIB, the appropriation limit for the City of California City will be increased by the maximum projected aggregate collection authorized by the levy of this special vacancy tax, as indicated in section 3-2.1.504 of this division, in each of the years covered by this article plus the amount, if any, by which the appropriations limit is decreased by law as a result of the assessment of the special vacancy tax set forth in this article. 7 October 24, 2023
Sec. 3-2.1.512. - Amendment.

The City Council may, by ordinance, amend, repeal, renumber or recodify any or all of the provisions of this section; provided, however, that no ordinance extending the tax beyond the dates set forth in Section 3-2.1.510 or increasing the maximum rate of the tax shall be effective unless submitted to, and approved by, the voters of the City as required pursuant to the applicable law at the time of such action.”
SECTION 2. If any section or portion of this Ordinance is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Ordinance, which shall continue in full force and effect, and to that extent, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 3. The City hereby determines that this Ordinance is not in-and-of-itself a "project" pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq., including without limitation CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(4) and 1506l(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the ordinance itself may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 4. This Ordinance, and all the provisions thereof, shall become effective only upon affirmative passage of two-thirds of the voters voting on the Ordinance. This Ordinance shall be considered adopted on the date that the City declares the results of the election at which it was voted upon and shall be effective ten (10) days thereafter.

ADOPTED ON [date vote declared by the City Council] AND EFFECTIVE ON [10 days after declaration of vote].

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
October 24, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan
SUBJECT: Backflow Prevention Training / Certification
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION: Backflow is a term in plumbing for unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction. It can be a serious health risk for the contamination of potable water supplies with foul water.

The buildings that are required to have a backflow prevention device installed between the meter and the water line to the respective buildings are also required by the state to have the devices inspected and certified on an annual basis.

Backflow devices require these annual inspections/certifications/reports to confirm they are being maintained and operating correctly to ensure the safety of the potable water.

California City has 85 backflow devices installed on various City facilities that were being serviced and inspected by an employee who is no longer with the City. As a result of only have 1 employee handling the backflow certifications, maintenance and reports, we have been notified that the annual State certification reports for City owned backflows have become past due.

Staff researched DIR registered backflow certification companies to perform this task to no avail. Staff did research non-DIR companies as well. While trying to locate companies (DIR & not) to perform this service we discovered multiple problems. 1.

None of the plumbing companies that were listed with the DIR website perform backflow certifications or did not service California City. 2. Of the non-DIR companies contacted, availability, area coverage and extreme cost were an issue. Affordable Backflow Testing quoted $75 per backflow ($75x85=$6,375) and Loren Serda quoted $79 per backflow ($79x85=$6,715) just to certify them. Additionally, the quotes do not include any potential maintenance/repair costs.

To help alleviate future problems in trying to locate a local company to perform these inspections as well as reduce costs, staff recommends training/certifying multiple City personnel to perform these inspections/certifications once again. Having several certified staff will assist greatly in the maintenance of the backflows, performing the required inspections/certifications, eliminating the single point of failure issue and meeting the State mandated report deadlines in a timely manner.

With these goals in mind, staff researched companies that perform the backflow certification trainings and found 2 in the area. However, only one includes the certification with the training.
53 October 24, 2023
The estimated cost of $6,000.00 to train and certify multiple personnel will have long term benefits: 1. Eliminating staff time to research and locate a backflow certification company (DIR or not) as well as coordination of the service performance schedule. 2.

Eliminate the maintenance/repair costs throughout the year. 3. Stop paying the everincreasing costs of outside vendors 4. Alleviating a one person point of failure by training/certifying multiple staff 5. Ensuring Inspections/Certifications are being done and submitted in a timely manner for State report deadlines 6. Staff can utilize the existing in-house iWorq program to store backflow informational, maintenance and general records as well as being able to set up notifications of approaching report deadlines to alleviate “past due” issues from arising again.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Current Fund Balance: 51-5115-230 $ 16,000.00
Amount Requested from Fund: $ 6,000.00
Ending Balance: $ 10,000.00
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council to approve the training/certification for multiple City personnel through IAPMO.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION AND LAY DESCRIPTION

1.1 - Overview
This document presents the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the City of California City (City) as required by the Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 (Act). It was prepared in cooperation with City staff to address the requirements in California Water Code Division 6, Part 2.6, sections 10610 through 10656. Throughout this 2020 UWMP is italicized text quoting specific requirements of the Act. The quoted text precedes sections relevant to a specific portion of the Act to serve as an aid to the reader. A copy of the Act is included as Appendix A. Section 1 describes the general background and purpose of an UWMP, previous City plans, as well as this 2020 UWMP’s organization and contents.

1.2 - Background and Purpose
Water Code section 10617 defines an “urban water supplier” as a public or private supplier, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. If qualified as an urban water supplier, a public or private supplier is required to create or update an UWMP every five years and submit it to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) for review and approval. The purpose of the Act to ensure that urban water suppliers are adequately planning.

An UWMP is a planning tool that was created to help generally guide the actions of urban water suppliers in successfully preparing for potential water supply disruptions and issues.

It provides a framework for long-term water planning and informs the public of a supplier’s long-term resource planning to ensure adequate water supplies for existing and future demands. An UWMP is not a substitute for project-specific planning documents, nor was it intended to be so mandated by the State Legislature DWR.

The Act requires that an UWMP include historic, current, and future supplies and demands for water; address conservation measures, describe potential supply deficiencies during drought conditions and the ability to mitigate these conditions; compare total projected water use and supply sources over 20 years in 5-year increments for a single-dry water year and for dry water years; and include provisions for recycled water use, demand management measures, and a water shortage contingency plan.

To assist urban water suppliers in preparing UWMP’s DWR developed the 2020 Guidebook for Urban Water Suppliers (Guidebook). The Guidebook is updated every five years to address any changes in State legislation (such as SB X7-7) and all requirements of the Act.

The 2020 Guidebook reflects new legislation, provides information to the public regarding water suppliers and water management programs, and provides a framework for minimizing the negative effects of potential water shortages. Additionally, the Guidebook provides a general layout for how UWMPs could be organized. This 2020 UWMP largely utilizes the Guidebook’s layout.
68 October 24, 2023

1.3 - Lay Description
Based on the results of this UWMP, the City has a reliable water supply (via groundwater wells and the ability to purchase water from AVEK) and is not vulnerable to seasonal and climatic shortages. There is no current need to supplement or replace the existing water sources available to the City with alternative sources or water demand management measures.

As shown in the table below from Section 7 of this UWMP, future water supplies are anticipated to not only meet, but exceed demands in normal year conditions through year 2040.

1.4 - Document Organization and Contents
The content and format of this 2020 UWMP is designed to meet the requirements of the Guidebook dated August 2020 and contains the following sections:

Section 1 – UWMP Introduction and Lay Description: This section provides an overview of the Act and CWC requirements, document organization, and a discussion of the importance and extent of the City’s water management planning efforts.

Section 2 – Plan Preparation: This section provides information on the UWMP development process, including coordination and outreach efforts.

SECTION 2 - PLAN PREPARATION

2.1 - Basis for Preparing a Plan

2.1.1 - OVERVIEW
CWC 10617. "Urban water supplier" means a supplier, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. An urban water supplier includes a supplier or contractor for water, regardless of the basis of right, which distributes or sells for ultimate resale to customers. This part applies only to water supplied from public water systems subject to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 116275) of Part 12 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code.

CWC 10620(b). Every person that becomes an urban water supplier shall adopt an urban water management plan within one year after it has become an urban water supplier.

CWC 10621(a). Each urban water supplier shall update its plan at least once every five years on or before July 1, in years ending in six and one, incorporating updated and new information from the five years preceding each update.

The City currently supplies approximately 742 million gallons (MG) of water per year and maintains 4,437 service connections, which is above the 3,000-connection threshold identified in CWC Section 10617.

This 2020 UWMP has been prepared by Quad Knopf, Inc. a California corporation, dba QK, as an independent contractor to the City. Accordingly, and as set forth herein, this 2020 UWMP has been prepared in accordance with the Act, SB X7-7, and the technical guidance documentation prepared and published by DWR.

2.1.2 - PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
California Health and Safety Code section 116275(h) defines a “Public Water System” (PWS) as a system for the provision of water for human consumption through pipes or other constructed conveyances that has 15 or more service connections or regularly serves at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. PWS’s are regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water.

PWS data reported to the SWRCB is used to determine whether a retail supplier has reached the UWMP reporting threshold of 3,000 or more connections or 3,000 acre-feet of water supplied DWR. Table 2-1 describes the City’s PWS information and, as noted above, the City currently supplies water to 4,437 connections. The City is not a wholesale water supplier. 71 October 24, 2023
Table 2-1 Retail Only: Public Water Systems

2.2 - Regional Planning
The City is a part of the Fremont Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Group (IRWMG), consisting of California City, Mojave Public Utility District (MPUD) and Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency (AVEK). The IRWMG was officially accepted by the state and is working on an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP).

2.3 - Individual Planning and Compliance
This 2020 UWMP is intended to address those aspects of the Act and SB X7-7, which are under the control of the City, specifically water supply and water use. The City is undertaking individual reporting to address all requirements for applicable uses served within the City’s service area (see Table 2-2).

SECTION 3 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3.1 - Service Area
10631(a). Describe the service area of the supplier.

California City is located in southeastern Kern County in the SWRCB South Lahontan Region, approximately 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles and 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield.

California City is the third geographically largest city in California with an area of 203.4 square miles. The City is near Highway 58 and Highway 14, which links the City to the other parts of the state.

The single largest land use is open space, consisting of 63.3 percent of the land area. Most of the City’s residents live in the “First Community” which contains about 9,600 acres and most of the multi-family and smaller single-family residential lots. The “Second Community”, which is located to the east of the center of California City, consists of larger lots and is currently sparsely populated. Sewer service is available in portions of the “First Community”; all other areas are served by septic tanks with onsite subsurface disposal.

3.2 - System
The City currently has a service population of approximately 14,198 people (2022) (see Section 3.4 – Service Area Population and Demographics). In 2020, approximately 923 MG of water was delivered to an estimated 4,437 water service connections of which approximately 4,273 (96%) are residential services. The remainder are for commercial and industrial uses.

The City currently utilizes four groundwater wells (02A, 14, 15A, and 16) and surface water purchased from AVEK for its water supply. The City’s groundwater wells currently have the capability to produce 3,650 gallons per minute. The City has four primary wells. All production wells are disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and meet all drinking water quality standards set by Federal and State health agencies. The wells are located in the First Community. Water levels in the wells range from 339 to 497 feet below ground surface.

The City maintains approximately 313 miles of water main lines ranging in size from 4 to 16- inches in diameter and a 20-inch transmission line connects the City wells to the reservoirs located in the foothills. The city has 7 different pressure zones to maintain pressure ranges between 50 and 100 psi. One zone has pressures as high as 130 psi and the city is planning on installing a PRV to reduce this pressure. Most residential and commercial connections have pressure reducing regulators. Customer meters are typically located on the property line and the average length of customer service lines is 25 feet.

The City maintains 5 above ground water storage reservoirs totaling 5.85 MG. These tanks are Reservoir B1 (2.5 MG), Reservoir C2 (1 MG), Reservoir D3 (1 MG), Reservoir E4 (1 MG) and Rancho Reservoir (0.225 MG).

3.3 - Climate
10631(a). Describe the climate of the service area of the supplier.

The City is located in the high desert with an elevation range of 2,300 to 4,000 feet above sea level. Its climate is semi-arid, which provides for warm, dry weather in the summer and mild cooler weather in the winter. Rainfall for the area is less than 6-inches annually, with about 75 percent occurring in December through March. The precipitation varies considerably from year to year, with a prolonged drought occurring from 1945 to 1964 and several shorter drought periods within the last ten years. Because precipitation occurs predominantly in the winter months, when landscaping and agricultural water demand is at the lowest, summer water demand is 3 to 5 times that of the winter months.

Source: Western Regional Climate Center; Mojave, CA Station 045756 The extreme high temperatures often exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit from May through September. Because of its high desert location, humidity levels are very low and it is often 81 October 24, 2023
windy. This gives California City one of the state’s highest pan evaporation and reference evapo-transpiration (ETo) rates. The high evaporation and ETo rates result in significantly higher water usage for landscape irrigation than other areas in California.

3.4 - Service Area Population and Demographics
16031(a). Indicate the current population of the service area. 16031(a). Provide population projections for in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available.

The population of California City was consistently near 3,000 residents from 1965 to 1980.

From 1980 to 1990, the population grew to approximately 6,000. From 1990 to 2000, the population continued to increase at a similar rate, reaching 8,385 citizens. Since 2000 the rate of growth has increased slightly to a total population of 13,769. Most growth was a result of employment opportunities at Edwards Air Force Base, Rio Tinto (Borax) Mine, Mojave Air and Space Port and the California City Correctional Center (CCC).

Using the number of connections provided by the City, current and projected population for the service area was calculated through 2045. The results are presented in Table 3-1.

SECTION 4 - SYSTEM WATER USE
A system’s water use is determined by the amount of water conveyed by a distribution system, that is used by a water agency and its customers for any purpose, including nonpotable water uses, water losses, and other nonrevenue water. This section describes and quantifies the City’s current water use and water use projections by individual land use sector through the year 2040.

4.1 - Water Types

4.1.1 - POTABLE AND RAW WATER
Potable water is water intended for human consumption, which is delivered through a public water system, and regulated by a State or local health agency. Raw water is untreated water that is used in its natural state. The City supplies potable water to residences, commercial, industrial businesses, and institutions and does not supply raw water. Section 6 – System Supplies provides a full description of the City’s potable supply including the source, quality, and groundwater levels.

4.1.2 - RECYCLED WATER
Recycled water is municipal wastewater that has been treated to a specified quality to enable it to be used again. Wastewater from the City is discharged to and treated by the City of California City. The City currently uses recycled water to provide water to the pond in the City’s park. However, the 2023 Wastewater Master Plan recommends the City cease producing tertiary treated wastewater effluent and instead produce chlorinated secondary effluent.

4.2 - Water Use
16031(e)(1). Quantify past, current, and projected water use, identifying the uses.

The quantifications of past, current, and projected water use include the following land use sectors in five-year increments:
• Single-family residential – lot with a free-standing building containing one dwelling unit;
• Multi-family residential – multiple dwelling units contained within one building or several buildings within one complex;
• Commercial – water users that provide or distribute a product or service; • Industrial – water users that are primarily the manufacturer or processor of materials as defined by North American Industry Classification System code sectors 31 to 33, or entities that are water users and primarily engage in research and development; • Institutional and government – water users dedicated to public service, including education, courts, churches, hospitals, government facilities, and nonprofit research institutions; and
83 October 24, 2023
• Landscape – water connections that supply water solely for landscape irrigation.

The following sectors are not included in this UWMP because they are not applicable to the City:
• Conjunctive use – the City does not apply a management strategy where surface water is managed in conjunction with an underground aquifer;
• Groundwater recharge – the City does not manage or intentionally replenish natural groundwater supplies using manmade conveyance;
• Saline water intrusion barriers – the City does not inject water into a freshwater aquifer to prevent intrusion of salt water;
• Agricultural – the City does not supply water for commercial agricultural irrigation; • Surface water augmentation – the City does not place recycled water in a surface water reservoir as a source of domestic drinking water supply; and • Wetlands or wildlife habitat – the City does not use water for a managed environmental use to improve any environmental conditions. Water is used to supplement a man-made, concrete lined pond in the City Park. The pond is ornamental and is not a wetlands or wildlife habitat.
• Past, current, and projected losses within the system were tabulated. • The following sectors are not included in this UWMP because they are exclusively associated with wholesale demand and, because the City is exclusively a retailer (see Table 2-3), these sectors are not applicable:
o Sales to other agencies – the City does not make water sales to other agencies; o Exchanges – the City does not exchange water with other agencies; and o Transfers – the City does not transfer water to other agencies as defined by the CWC as a temporary or long-term change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use.

4.2.1 - CURRENT WATER USE
This section describes the different types of land use sectors and their 2020 individual water demand within the City service area. Pursuant to the UWMP Standardized Tables provided by DWR, the City has provided, in Table 4-1, the 2020 water demand volume by land use sector.

As shown in Table 4-1, the City experienced a water demand of 923 MG in the year 2020. All water distributed through the City service area is potable drinking water. The City produces most of its water supply through pumping groundwater using City facilities. The City does purchase water from AVEK that is used as a source of domestic drinking water when pressure in the system drops below a certain point.

4.4 - Estimating Future Water Savings
CWC 10631(e)(4)(A). If available and applicable to an urban water supplier, water use projections may display and account for the water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans identified by the urban water supplier, as applicable to the service area.

CWC 10631(e)(4)(B). To the extent that an urban water supplier reports the information described in subparagraph (A), an urban water supplier shall do both of the following: (i) Provide citations of the various codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans utilized in making the projections. (ii) Indicate the extent that the water use projections consider savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. Water use projections that do not account for these water savings shall be noted of that fact.

Water savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans are also known as “passive savings.” These various factors generally decrease the water use for new and future customers compared to historical customers.

As shown in Table 4-5, this 2015 UWMP does not display or account for future water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. This does not preclude the City from adopting codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans in the future that would result in water savings. If such adoptions occur, they would be reflected in future UWMPs for the City.

4.5 - Water Use for Lower Income Households
CWC 10631.1(a). The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for single-family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as identified in the housing element of any City, county, or City and county in the service area of the supplier.
88 October 24, 2023
Future water projections include water savings as they are based on reducing gpcd by 2 gpcd per year through several water saving management methods the City is using. Regarding Low Income, the City is located in rural California were typically low income, very low income, moderate income, and higher income residence and homes are mingled together throughout the City. The City does not solicit income information. Low-income projections are included in the single and multi-family dwelling line in Table 4-2 above.

SECTION 5 - BASELINES AND TARGETS
On November 10, 2009, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law SB X7-

7. SB X7-7 mandates conservation targets for all urban retail water entities supplying potable municipal water to more than 3,000 customers or delivering more than 3,000-acre feet of potable water per year to end users. The conservation target of 20% by 2020 on a GPCD basis must be complied with to be eligible for State water grants and loans. The City is not subject to agricultural-related provisions of SB X7-7 since it does not supply agricultural water.

CWC 10608.20(e). An urban retail water supplier shall include in its urban water management plan due in 2010 pursuant to Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 10610) the baseline daily per capita water use, urban water use target, interim urban water use target, and compliance daily per capita water use, along with the bases for determining those estimates, including references to supporting data.

CWC 10608.40. Urban water retail suppliers shall report to the department on their progress in meeting their urban water use targets as part of their urban water management plans submitted pursuant to Section 10631. The data shall be reported using a standardized form developed pursuant to Section 10608.52.

This section includes analysis for the City’s baselines and targets to meet SB X7-7 mandates for 2015 and 2020. This analysis reports on the progress of the City in meeting water use targets and is reported using a standardized form provided by DWR.

To demonstrate SB X7-7 compliance, retail water agencies are required to complete the SB X7-7 Verification Form and submit the standardized tables provided by DWR with their 2020 UWMPs. Please note that the tables in the SB X7-7 Verification Form will follow a different numbering format than the rest of this 2020 UWMP, and will begin with “SB X7-7,” followed by the table number.

5.1.1 - BASELINE PERIOD
CWC 10608.12(b). "Base daily per capita water use" means any of the following:
(1) The urban retail water supplier's estimate of its average gross water use, reported in gallons per capita per day and calculated over a continuous 10-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2004, and no later than December 31, 2010. (2) For an urban retail water supplier that meets at least 10 percent of its 2008 measured retail water demand through recycled water that is delivered within the service area of an urban retail water supplier or its urban wholesale water supplier, the urban retail water supplier may extend the calculation described in paragraph (1) up to an additional five years 90 October 24, 2023
to a maximum of a continuous 15-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2004, and no later than December 31, 2010.
(3) For the purposes of Section 10608.22, the urban retail water supplier's estimate of its average gross water use, reported in gallons per capita per day and calculated over a continuous five-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2007, and no later than December 31, 2010.

Urban retail water suppliers that used less than 10% recycled water in 2008 must utilize a 10-year baseline period for measuring its SB X7-7 compliance that ends no earlier than December 31, 2004 and no later than December 31, 2010. Water use GPCD must be calculated and reported for two baseline periods, the 10- or 15- year baseline (Baseline) and the 5-year baseline (Target Confirmation). The following table provides information about the baseline period ranges for this analysis.

SB X7-7 Table 1: Baseline Period Ranges

5.1.2 - SERVICE AREA POPULATION
CWC 10608.20(f). When calculating per capita values for the purposes of this chapter, an urban retail water supplier shall determine population using federal, state, and local population reports and projections.

Several population estimation methodologies are available to retail water agencies. As shown in SB X7-7 Table 2 below, these can include use of DOF data, persons-per-connection based on census year data, the DWR population tool, or a different methodology proposed Parameter Value Units
2008 total water deliveries 1,331 Million Gallons
2008 total volume of delivered recycled water 251 Million Gallons 2008 recycled water as a percent of total deliveries 19% See Note 1 Number of years in baseline period1, 2

Year beginning baseline period range 2001
Year ending baseline period range3 2010
Number of years in baseline period 5 Years
Year beginning baseline period range 2006
Year ending baseline period range4 2010
2 The Water Code requires that the baseline period is between 10 and 15 years. However, DWR recognizes that some water suppliers may not have the minimum 10 years of baseline data.

SB X7-7 Table-1: Baseline Period Ranges
1 If the 2008 recycled water delivery is less than 10 percent of total water deliveries, then the 10-15year baseline period is a continuous 10-year period. If the amount of recycled water delivered in 2008 is 10 percent or greater of total deliveries, the 10-15 year baseline period is a continuous 10- to 15-year period.
3 The ending year for the 10-15 year baseline period must be between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2010. 4 The ending year for the 5 year baseline period must be between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2010. 5-year

5.1.3 - ANNUAL GROSS WATER USE
CWC 10608.12(g). "Gross water use" means the total volume of water, whether treated or untreated, entering the distribution system of an urban retail water supplier, excluding all of the following:
(1) Recycled water that is delivered within the service area of an urban retail water supplier or its urban wholesale water supplier.
(2) The net volume of water that the urban retail water supplier places into long-term storage.
(3) The volume of water the urban retail water supplier conveys for use by another urban water supplier.

The City’s major source of water into its distribution system is groundwater with purchased AVEK water when pressure in the system drops below a certain point. SB X7-7 Table 4 provides the 10- to 15-year baseline, 5-year baseline, and 2020 compliance year water use. 94 October 24, 2023
SB X7-7 Table 4: Annual Gross Water Use (MG)*

The City’s uses do not include exported water, indirect recycled water, water delivered for agricultural use, or process water. Therefore, the annual gross water use does not include deductions for these categories.

5.1.4 - AVERAGE DAILY PER CAPITA WATER USE
In SB X7-7 Table 5, the average daily per capita water use is calculated by dividing the volume of “Annual Gross Water Use” by the service area population.

SB X7-7 Table 6: Gallons Per Capita Per Day, Summary
CWC 10608.20(b). An urban retail water supplier shall adopt one of the following methods for determining its urban water use target pursuant to subdivision (a):
(1) Eighty percent of the urban retail water supplier's baseline per capita daily water use. (2) The per capita daily water use that is estimated using the sum of the following performance standards:
(A) For indoor residential water use, 55 gallons per capita daily water use as a provisional standard. Upon completion of the department's 2016 report to the Legislature pursuant to Section 10608.42, this standard may be adjusted by the Legislature by statute.
(B) For landscape irrigated through dedicated or residential meters or connections, water efficiency equivalent to the standards of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance set forth in Chapter 2.7 (commencing with Section 490) of Division 2 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations, as in effect the later of the year of the landscape's installation or 1992. An urban retail water supplier using the approach specified in this subparagraph shall use satellite imagery, site visits, or other best available technology to develop an accurate estimate of landscaped areas. (C) For commercial, industrial, and institutional uses, a 10-percent reduction in water use from the baseline commercial, industrial, and institutional water use by 2020. (3) Ninety-five percent of the applicable state hydrologic region target, as set forth in the state's 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan (dated April 30, 2009). If the service area of an urban water supplier includes more than one hydrologic region, the supplier shall apportion its service area to each region based on population or area. (4) A method that shall be identified and developed by the department, through a public process, and reported to the Legislature no later than December 31, 2010.

Of the four methods, the City has chosen the first method (80% of urban retail water supplier's baseline per capita daily water use) (see SB X7-7 Table 7) and calculated the baseline and target GPCD consistent with CWC Section 10608.20(b)(3) and as set forth in the State’s 20X2020 Water Conservation Plan.

5.1.5 - TARGET GPCD REDUCTIONS
The City has calculated the 2020 target (80% of urban retail water supplier's baseline per capita daily water use) at 270 GPCD (see SB X7-7 Table 7-A).

SB X7-7 Table 7-A: Target Method 1
CWC 10608.22. Notwithstanding the method adopted by an urban retail water supplier pursuant to Section 10608.20, an urban retail water supplier's per capita daily water use reduction shall be no less than 5 percent of base daily per capita water use as defined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 10608.12. This section does not apply to an urban retail water supplier with a base daily per capita water use at or below 100 gallons per capita per day.

The 5-year baseline period identified a maximum year 2020 compliance target of 324 GPCD to meet the intent of CWC Section 10608.22. This is the Maximum 2020 Target as shown in SB X7-7 Table 7-F.

SECTION 6 - SYSTEM SUPPLIES
CWC 10631(b). Identify and quantify, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water available to the supplier over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a).

This section describes and quantifies sources of water available to the City. As discussed in Section 4 – System Water Use, the City produces most of its water supply through pumping groundwater using City facilities. The City does have the ability to purchase AVEK to supplement the groundwater supplies when needed. This section also discusses future water projects and provides a summary of existing and planned sources of water.

6.1 - Purchased or Imported Water
California City utilizes three water sources: groundwater, imported surface water and recycled water. Imported surface water can be purchased from AVEK and MPUD through standing agreements with the City. Additional supplies are available from AVEK, MPUD and increased groundwater pumping is also available. Recycled water is also an available water source. Recycled Water will be discussed in section 6.5 below.

The Wonder Acres area of California City has a separate water system. Water for this area is purchased from MPUD water system (Wells 21A and Well 22). MPUD water is used exclusively in the Wonder Acres area, near Highway 14 and California City Boulevard.

Currently, there are 38 service connections with water consumption remaining relatively consistent. Discussions with the General Manager of the Mojave Public Utilities District indicated that increased water supply to this community would not be a problem. The current agreement limits this water supply to a peak of 500 gpm.

The City has significant more water rights than it currently uses. Further discussion of the ground water will be covered in Section 6.2. The City ground water (well) production is not limited by water rights but by pumping capacity.

6.2 - Groundwater
CWC 10631(b). If groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of water available to the supplier, all of the following information shall be included in the plan:
(1) A copy of any groundwater management plan adopted by the urban water supplier, including plans adopted pursuant to Part 2.75 (commencing with Section 10750), or any other specific authorization for groundwater management. (2) A description of any groundwater basin or basins from which the urban water supplier pumps groundwater. For basins that a court or the board has adjudicated the rights to pump groundwater, a copy of the order or decree adopted by the court or the board and a description of the amount of groundwater the urban water supplier has the legal right to pump under the order or decree. For basins that have not been adjudicated, information as 102 October 24, 2023
to whether the department has identified the basin or basins as overed or has projected that the basin will become overed if present management conditions continue, in the most current official departmental bulletin that characterizes the condition of the groundwater basin, and a detailed description of the efforts being undertaken by the urban water supplier to eliminate the long-term over condition.
(3) A detailed description and analysis of the location, amount, and sufficiency of groundwater pumped by the urban water supplier for the past five years. The description and analysis shall be based on information that is reasonably available, including, but not limited to, historic use records.
(4) A detailed description and analysis of the amount and location of groundwater that is projected to be pumped by the urban water supplier. The description and analysis shall be based on information that is reasonably available, including, but not limited to, historic use records.

6.2.1 - BASIN DESCRIPTION
The City lies within the Fremont Valley Groundwater sub-basin (FVGB) of the South Lahontan Hydrologic Study Area. The sub-basin is identified as sub-basin 6-46 in the Department of Water Resources Bulletin 118. The basin is 523 square miles (334,720 acres) of which 203 square miles (129,920 acres) is located under California City proper. The Muroc Fault traverses the sub-basin, dividing it into two smaller sub-basins with California City on the north and Mojave on the south. The California City sub-basin (CCSB) contains approximately 142,451 acres (Stetson 2008) and potentially 1,382,000 acre-feet of storage capacity; however, estimates of the storage capacity range greatly with a high estimate of 5,700,000 acre- feet in 1955, when the basin was considered full. Within the City boundary, the FVGB groundwater storage was estimated at approximately 1,980,000 acre-feet in 1955 and 1,650,000 acre-feet in 2007 (Stetson 2008).

The CCSB is hydraulically connected to the Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin (AVGB) by the alluvial filled narrows between the Castle Butte and the Twin Buttes; groundwater is able to move between the two valleys in this area. There are several other faults in the sub-basin, Garlock Fault and El Paso Fault system, which run on the north and west side of the subbasin, respectively, which act as a restrictive groundwater barrier on the west and northwest side of the sub-basin between the Tehachapi, Piute and El Paso Mountains and the FVGB.

The CCSB has one area of depression, the now-dry Koehn Lake. According to Stetson, groundwater in the sub-basin flows from the alluvial fans along the mountains towards this depression. This flow stems in part from the AVGB, which contributes up to 2,570 afy (Stetson 2008). The City, on average, pumps 3,300 acre feet (1075 MG) per year from the aquifer, which provides the customers with approximately 75 percent of their potable water supply.

The City of California City purchased all water rights based on an agreement/contract dated March 21, 1960 between Born Valley Water Development Company and Boron Valley 103 October 24, 2023
Community Service District which later became California City Service District. California City owns the water right stated as follows “All water rights, all right, title and interest in and to all water in, on and underlying the surface of the land (herein referred to as “Water Rights”) within the boundaries of or which may subsequently flow into that area designated Area A (California City proper - 203 square miles). At that time the water right was producing 32,000 acre-feet (10,427 MG) 10.8 times more the current annual extraction rate of the city (964 MG). The city has 10.8 times more water right than they are currently pumping and at current maximum pumping capacity of (2680.56 MG) they could only utilize 25.7% of the owned water right.

California City, Mojave, and AVEK have now formed the FVGB IRWMG and are working on the IRWMP for the basin to protect their water rights from outside influences.

Basin Levels and Storage
The average groundwater elevation in 2010, according to the USGS groundwater field data, was 297 feet, which is a decrease of approximately 29 feet from the groundwater elevation of 268 feet in 1953.

Currently California City, Mojave, and Cantil are the only major entities drawing significant quantities of water from the basin and California City is by far the largest. In 2016 California City pumped 1,179.89 MG (3620 acre-feet), Mojave pumped 152.20 MG (467acre-feet), and Cantil pumped 2.43 MG (7.46 acre-feet). Basin Total 1,334.5 MG (4095 acre-feet) being extracted from the basin annually. The basin (Number 6-64) is approximately 523 square miles (334,720 acers) per the DWR Bulletin 118. Based on basin area (4,095 acrefeet/334,720 acers) X (12in/1ft) = 0.1468 inches (2.5%) of the

5.93 inches of the average rain fall each year would need to make it into the basin aquafer to maintain recharge. The Western Regional Climate Center; Mojave, CA Station 045756 indicates an annual total average rainfall of 5.93 inches. This along with the fact that the basin sustained 32,000 acre-feet, over 5 times more extraction, for 10 to 15 years during the 1960s early 1970s when the area was predominantly agricultural substantiate the fact that the current rate of extraction defiantly does not exceed the rate of recharge. And the basin is not in over.

Basin Water Quality
The chemical character of groundwater in the South Lahontan Region is variable, but often contains calcium or sodium bicarbonate. In basins with closed drainages, water character often changes from calcium-sodium bicarbonate near the margins of the basin, to sodium chloride or chloride sulfate beneath a dry lake. It is not uncommon for concentrations of dissolved constituents to rise dramatically toward a dry lake where saturation of mineral salts is reached. The total dissolved solids (TDS) content of groundwater is high in many of the basins in this region. Some of the contaminants affecting groundwater use in the region include arsenic, gross alpha particle activity, uranium, fluoride, TDS, and boron. (DWR, 2015).

6.2.2 - GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT
An adjudicated groundwater basin exists where, because of a lawsuit, the court decides who extracts from the basin, how much they extract, and who will manage the basin. The Fremont Valley Subbasin is not adjudicated, as defined by California DWR. Therefore, there are no limitations placed on groundwater pumpage volumes due to adjudication.

The City is not required to form or join a groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) since it is not in a high or medium priority basin. The South Lahontan Basin is categorized as low priority.

6.2.3 - OVER CONDITIONS
As required by CWC section 10631(b)(2), for basins that have not been adjudicated, information as to whether DWR has identified the basin or basins as overed or has projected that the basin will become overed, an UWMP must include a detailed description of the efforts being undertaken by the urban water supplier to eliminate the long-term over condition.

According to DWR, the Fremont Valley Subbasin is not listed as a critically overed basin (California Department of Water Resources, 2015). According to DWR Bulletin 118-80, “critical conditions of over” in a basin is “when continuation of present water management practices would probably result in significant adverse over-related environmental, social, or economic impacts” (DWR, 2015).

6.2.4 - GROUNDWATER PUMPING
The City has historically relied on groundwater pumping for a large portion 75% of its water supply (see table 6.1 below). This table also show the quantities of groundwater the City has pumped over the last five years with a maximum of 1,279 MG in 2020. 1,279 MG is around

56.1% of the total pumping capacity 2,278.5 MG.

The following tables show the quantities of groundwater the City has pumped in the last five years through 2020.

The amount of groundwater pumped by the City over the last 5 years is shown in Table 6-1.

The amount of groundwater projected to be pumped in 5-year increments over the next 20 years is shown in Table 4-2 in Section 4 – System Water Use. 106 October 24, 2023
Table 6-1 Retail: Groundwater Volume Pumped

6.3 - Surface Water
The City routinely receives water from AVEK. AVEK water is more expensive for the city than pumping ground water. For this reason, the City intends to retain and maintain its AVEK use and rights of use but will try to minimize its use to minimize costs. In the event of an emergency, it is possible the City may be able to increase the water supply from one or both these agencies on a temporary basis. However, if the situation is drought-related, it is likely the water supplied from AVEK will be affected by the same situation and an increased supply to California City may not be possible. AVEK has developed water banking facilities to mitigate the variability of the State Water Project supply. With only 77% pumping capacity projected though 2045, the City can easily increase its groundwater pumping and or implement restrictions on its customers to make sure demand does not exceed available supply.

6.4 - Stormwater
The City does not intentionally divert stormwater for beneficial use within its potable water distribution system. There are no plans for the City to use stormwater to offset water supply.

6.5 - Wastewater or Recycled Water
CWC 10633. The plan shall provide, to the extent available, information on recycled water and its potential for use as a water source in the service area of the urban water supplier.

The preparation of the plan shall be coordinated with local water, wastewater, groundwater, and planning agencies that operate within the supplier's service area, and shall include all of the following:
(a) A description of the wastewater collection and treatment systems in the supplier's service area, including a quantification of the amount of wastewater collected and treated and the methods of wastewater disposal.
(b) A description of the quantity of treated wastewater that meets recycled water standards, is being discharged, and is otherwise available for use in a recycled water project. (f) A description of actions, including financial incentives, which may be taken to encourage the use of recycled water, and the projected results of these actions in terms of acre-feet of recycled water used per year.
(g) A plan for optimizing the use of recycled water in the supplier's service area, including actions to facilitate the installation of dual distribution systems, to promote recirculating uses, to facilitate the increased use of treated wastewater that meets recycled water standards, and to overcome any obstacles to achieving that increased use.

The City of California City owns and operates a 1.5 MGD extended aeration activated sludge tertiary treatment facility (WWTP) and all domestic sewer collection systems within the City limits. The collection systems are gravity fed and only receive domestic wastewater (no storm water runoff). Currently, approximately 30 percent of the City is served by the WWTP.

The remaining area is served by onsite septic systems.

The existing California City Wastewater Treatment Facility is designed to treat an average flow of 1.5 MGD and peak flow of 3.0 MGD. Currently, the average influent flow is 0.8 MGD.

The present treatment process includes an influent pump station, head works consisting of a Parshall flume, mechanical bar screen and sonic flow meter. Secondary treatment consists of one extended aeration activated sludge basin, (split into two cells) two clarifiers and a return activated sludge (RAS) waste activated sludge (WAS) pump station. The tertiary treatment facilities consist of filter influent pump station, a chemical mixing/flocculation tank, storage facilities for polymer, alum and chlorine, tertiary sand filters and sodium hypochlorite disinfection.

Sludge treatment and disposal consists of pumping WAS to 5 lined sand type sludge beds for dewatering and solar drying. The existing sludge drying beds have a total area of 15,000 square feet. Dried sludge is removed and disposed at the authorized site, currently a landfill.

During a normal recycled water year the city collects approximately 19% of total potable water production shown in table 6.5-1 or 220 MG. 75% of this water 165 MG is recycled and 108 October 24, 2023
used for irrigation at the golf course. During winter months once storage basins are full, a percentage, around 1% or 2.2 MG must be diverted to percolation ponds. Approximately 24% or 52.8 MG is lost due to evaporation during processing. See Table 6.5-1 below for historical Recycled Water quantities and normal year quantities. Table 6.5-2 Summarizes the data for 2020.

It should be noted that the 2023 Wastewater Master Plan recommends the City cease producing tertiary treated wastewater effluent and instead produce chlorinated secondary effluent. It is assumed this will happen by 2030.

6.6 - Desalinated Water Opportunities
CWC 16031(h). Describe desalinated water project opportunities for long-term supply.

The City has no feasible opportunity for the development of a water desalination system as a long-term supply. With no nearby or convenient sources of saline water to desalinate, the cost of providing the water and then treating would outweigh the benefits.

6.7 - Exchange and Transfer Opportunities
CWC 10631(d). Describe the opportunities for exchanges or transfers of water on a shortterm or long-term basis.

The City routinely receives water from AVEK and MPUD. AVEK water is more expensive for the city than pumping ground water. For this reason, the City intends to retain and maintain its AVEK use and rights of use but will try to minimize its use to minimize costs. In the event of an emergency, it is possible the City may be able to increase the water supply from one or both these agencies on a temporary basis. However, if the situation is drought-related, it is likely the water supplied from AVEK will be affected by the same situation and an increased supply to California City may not be possible. AVEK has developed water banking facilities to mitigate the variability of the State Water Project supply. With only 77% pumping capacity projected though 2045, the City can easily increase its groundwater pumping and or implement restrictions on its customers to make sure demand does not exceed available supply.

6.8 - Future Water Projects
CWC 10631(g). Include a description of all water supply projects and water supply programs that may be undertaken by the urban water supplier to meet the total projected water use, as established pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 10635. The urban water supplier shall include a detailed description of expected future projects and programs that the urban water supplier may implement to increase the amount of the water supply available to the urban water supplier in average, single-dry, and multiple-dry water years. The description shall identify specific projects and include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project. The description shall include an estimate with regard to the implementation timeline for each project or program.

The City’s water system contains a large percentage of steel water mains which were constructed in the 1960s. These water mains are susceptible to corrosion over time and are very prone to leakage. The 2023 Water Master Plan recommends replacing at least 5 miles of water main per year with PVC pipe (there are a total of approximately 85 miles of water main within the city). The completion of the water main replacement program is expected to substantially reduce the volume of “unaccounted” water lost by leakage. Other proposed projects from the 2023 Water Master Plan are shown in Table 6-7. 112 October 24, 2023
Table 6-7 Retail: Expected Future Water Supply Projects or Programs

6.9 - Groundwater Supplies Coordination
In 2014, the Legislature enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act to address groundwater conditions throughout California. The CWC now requires 2020 UWMPs to be consistent with GSPs in areas where those plans have been completed by GSAs.

The City is not required to form or join a groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) since it is not in a high or medium priority basin. The South Lahontan Basin is categorized as low priority.

The City is coordinating with the Fremont Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. The IRWMP was published in February 2019. The table below is from the February 2019 IRWMP and it shows the GSP implementation items and the projected timeline.

This 2020 UWMP is consistent with the GSP and the proposed projects and management actions.

6.10 - Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water As discussed above, the main source of water for the City is through groundwater pumping.

Continued groundwater pumping is also the main planned source of water in the future.

Since the Fremont Valley Subbasin is a non-adjudicated basin, there are currently no restrictions on groundwater pumping.

Because there is no current restriction on groundwater pumping, the limit of available water is the pump capacity of the five existing wells to pump groundwater. The pump capacity of the six wells to pump groundwater is shown in the following table. 114 October 24, 2023
The City’s wells are estimated to provide 1,630.7 million gallons per year (3,650 gpm) based upon 85% of the maximum pumping capacity of the current wells (see table below). The table below deliberately excludes any AVEK water contribution.

Well # Source Capacity
(GPM)
02A 950
14 850
15A 1,000
16 850
TOTAL 3,650
In addition to the wells, California City maintains five above ground water storage reservoirs totaling 5.85 MG. These tanks are Reservoir B1 (2.5 MG), Reservoir C2 (1 MG), Reservoir D3 (1 MG), Reservoir E4 (1 MG) and Rancho Reservoir (0.225 MG). Assuming 85% of the storage tank listed capacity is available for water storage, 4.9 MG of storage is usable.

SECTION 7 - WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT
CWC 10634. The plan shall include information, to the extent practicable, relating to the quality of existing sources of water available to the supplier over the same five-year increments as described in subdivision (a) of Section 10631, and the manner in which water quality affects water management strategies and supply reliability.

All UWMPs must include an assessment of the reliability of their water supplies. The water supply and demand assessment must compare the total projected water use with the projected water supply, in 5-year increments, through the next 20 years. This section presents a comparison of the water demands and supplies within the City’s service area, and assesses supply versus demand during normal years, single dry water years, and multiple dry water years. This section describes the long-term reliability of the City’s water supply while Section 8 – Water Shortage Contingency Planning provides short-term reliability planning that may require immediate action, such as a drought or a catastrophic supply interruption.

7.1 - Constraints on Water Sources
CWC 10631(c)(2). For any water source that may not be available at a consistent level of use, given specific legal, environmental, water quality, or climatic factors, describe plans to supplement or replace that source with alternative sources or water demand management measures, to the extent practicable.

This section discusses the reliability of water supplies and their vulnerability to seasonal and climatic shortages. The City has historically used mostly groundwater to meet all of their water demands. Groundwater supplies are not immediately impacted by droughts, and, as a result, there is no history of any water supply deficiencies for the City water system. Even during the 1976-1977 droughts, records indicate a sufficient supply of water.

Historically, the City has obtained over 20 percent of its water supply from AVEK. The source of AVEK water is the State Water Project with the water delivered through the California Aqueduct. The AVEK water is thus subject to variability in supply and in reliability. The supply variability is a function of hydrologic conditions in northern California. The reliability is a function of environmental conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The Delta is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes, rising sea levels and droughts. If there is a water shortage, AVEK or its customers could enact shortage measures that protect against extended drought conditions. When this occurs, California City will utilize more groundwater.

Regarding the groundwater supply, the most likely reasons the City would have a deficiency would be due to coliform contamination, pump failure, well collapse or other mechanical or structural failure. Another scenario would be a declining groundwater table due to lack of recharge. In this scenario, well pumps would need to be lowered and/or the well deepened.

The City has a goal to maintain sufficient standby well capacity to meet peak month water 117 October 24, 2023
demand with the largest well out of service. With sufficient standby well capacity, a short term loss of a well would not affect overall water supply.

In addition, the most immediate threat of water shortage could arise from damage due to an earthquake, or an extended power outage. An exceptionally long hot spell during summer months or high winds causing power outages are the main concern due to climate.

Customers are encouraged to water lawns during early morning hours and for shorter period of time when temperatures exceed normal. The water system is gravity fed from a 2.5 MG tank, kept a minimum two-thirds full at all times. During an extended power supply emergency, the City can institute a water conservation emergency which would limit water use.

7.2 - Reliability by Type of Year
CWC 10620(f). An urban water supplier shall describe in the plan water management tools and options used by that entity that will maximize resources and minimize the need to import water from other regions.

CWC 10631(c)(1). Describe the reliability of the water supply and vulnerability to seasonal or climatic shortage, to the extent practicable, and provide data for each of the following:
(A) An average water year.
(B) A single-dry water year.
(C) Multiple-dry water years.

There are two aspects of supply reliability that can be considered. The first relates to immediate service needs and is primarily a function of the availability and adequacy of the supply facilities. The second aspect is climate related and involves the availability of water during mild or severe drought periods. This section compares water supplies and demands during three water scenarios: average or normal water year, single-dry water year, and multiple-dry water years. These scenarios are defined as follows:
• Average year – a year, or an averaged range of years, that most closely represents the median runoff levels and patterns. The supply quantities for this condition are derived from historical average yields. Within this document the terms “normal” and “average” are used interchangeably.
• Single-dry year – the year with the lowest water supply availability. Generally considered to be the lowest annual runoff for a watershed since the water-year beginning in 1903.
• Multiple-dry years – the lowest average water supply availability to the agency for a consecutive multiple year period (three years or more). Generally considered to be the lowest average runoff for a consecutive multiple year period (three years or more) for a watershed since 1903.
118 October 24, 2023
Drought years for the hydrologic region can be determined by referencing DWR’s Chronological Reconstructed Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley Water Year Hydrologic Classification Indices 1995 to 2015 (WSIHIST) (California Department of Water Resources, 2016). The City is currently experiencing a multiple dry year cycle, which started in 2012 and has continued through 2015. Within this multiple dry year period, the City still could meet all its water demands without the need to implement water management tools. Also, the impact of an extreme single dry year such as 2015 did not impact the ability of the City to meet all its water demands. Supply reliability for average water years such as 2010 and multiple and single dry years is shown in Table 7-1. The reliability of water service, which is subject to proper operation and maintenance of the City's water distribution system and its ability to deliver the water, is discussed in Section 6 – System Supplies.

Table 7-1 Retail: Basis of Water Year Data (MG)
Therefore, the City has a reliable water supply and is not vulnerable to seasonal and climatic shortages. There is no current need for plans to supplement or replace the existing water sources available to the City with alternative sources or water demand management measures.

7.3 - Supply and Demand Assessment
10635(a). Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, an assessment of the reliability of its water service to its customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years. This water supply and demand assessment shall compare the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the total projected water use over the next 20 years, in five-year increments, for a normal water year, a single dry water year, and multiple dry water years. The water service reliability assessment shall be based upon the information compiled pursuant to Section 10631, including available data from state, regional, or local agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier.

7.3.4 - DROUGHT RISK ASSESSMENT
Water Code Section 10635(b)
Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, a drought risk assessment for its water service to its customers as part of information considered in developing the demand management measures and water supply projects and programs to be included in the urban water management plan. The urban water supplier may conduct an interim update or updates to this drought risk assessment within the five-year cycle of its urban water management plan update. The drought risk assessment shall include each of the following:
(1) A description of the data, methodology, and basis for one or more supply shortage conditions that are necessary to conduct a drought risk assessment for a drought period that lasts five consecutive water years, starting from the year following when the assessment is conducted.
(2) A determination of the reliability of each source of supply under a variety of water shortage conditions. This may include a determination that a particular source of water supply is fully reliable under most, if not all, conditions. (3) A comparison of the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the total projected water use for the drought period. (4) Considerations of the historical drought hydrology, plausible changes on projected supplies and demands under climate change conditions, anticipated regulatory changes, and other locally applicable criteria.

Projected total supplies and projected water use for the next five years (2021 to 2025) were compared and are presented in Table 7-5. The information in the table shows a significant surplus of water available each year. Based on this, on supply augmentation or use reduction savings are included. However, the City is always pursuing ways to decrease water usage and increase water savings. These items are described in Section 8 and Section 9 of this UWMP. 123 October 24, 2023

SECTION 8 - WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLANNING
CWC 10632 (a) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a plan pursuant to this part shall prepare its plan pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 10630). The supplier shall likewise periodically review the plan as required by Section 10621, and any amendments or changes required as a result of that review shall be adopted pursuant to this article.
(b) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a water shortage contingency plan shall prepare a water shortage contingency plan pursuant to Section 10632. The supplier shall likewise periodically review the water shortage contingency plan as required by paragraph (10) of subdivision (a) of Section 10632 and any amendments or changes required as a result of that review shall be adopted pursuant to this article.

The Act requires water agencies to incorporate a water shortage contingency plan (WSCP) focusing on the allocation of water supplies and the management of water consumption during periods of shortage due to extended drought or a water emergency. This Section describes the City’s policies and ordinances to deal with water shortages. The City’s water supply comes mainly from groundwater pumping. As discussed in Section 7 – Water Supply Reliability Assessment, the City has a reliable water supply and is not vulnerable to seasonal and climatic shortages for the normal, dry-year, and multiple dry-year scenarios through year 2040.

The City’s WSCP illustrates specific water supply conditions that trigger the activation of voluntary and mandatory rationing efforts. It explains what the ability is to meet projected short-term demands during extended dry periods and emphasizes some of the significant proactive measures that enhance the City’s ability to respond to interruptions in water supply should a natural or manmade disaster occur. The contingency plan outlines the planned response to failures in the infrastructure of the water system in the event of an earthquake, extensive power outage, or another catastrophic event. Finally, this section provides details about prohibitions and penalties against specific water uses during water shortages and evaluates potential impacts to the water funds should water sales decrease because of supply shortages.

The City has enacted several actions related to water conservation.

California City adopted an Emergency Response Plan in 1999. They also participated in a functional disaster exercise in conjunction with County or State officials. Emergency exercises will be conducted annually. Although utility loss is covered in the plan, a more precise water contingency plan is as follows:

Triggering Events

1. Reductions in specific watersupplies
125 October 24, 2023

2. Dropping groundwaterlevel

3. Changes in waterquality

4. System failures

5. Disaster
Stages of Action
City personnel first will evaluate the water shortage and recommend actions to Council and call a special meeting if needed.

Evaluation will be based on the following conditions:

1. Cause of watershortage

2. Possible duration ofshortage

3. Amount of shortage based on % of normal water demand

8.1 - Stages of Actions
The City has prepared a 4-stage conservation plan to invoke during a declared water shortage. The plan includes voluntary and mandatory rationing depending on the severity of the water supply shortage.

Table 8-1 provides a summary of the one stage of action that has been enacted by the City’s Board.
126 October 24, 2023
Table 8-1 Retail: Stages of Water Shortage Contingency Plan

8.2 - Prohibition on End Users
In compliance with CWC section 10632(a)(4) and CWC section 10632(a)(5), prohibitions on end users are defined in the City of California City’s “No Waste” Ordinance includes prohibitions on various wasteful water uses such as lawn watering during mid-day hours, washing sidewalks and driveways with potable water, and allowing plumbing leaks to go uncorrected more than 24 hours after customer notification. The Fire Department personnel will also be notified to stop flowing hydrants (except when necessary).

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Levels
127 October 24, 2023
As the water purveyor, the City of California City must provide the minimum health and safety water needs of the community at all times. The water shortage response is designed to provide a minimum of 50 percent of normal supply during a severe or extended water shortage. The rationing program triggering levels shown below were established to ensure that this goal is met.

Rationing stages may be triggered by a shortage in one water source or a combination of sources. Although an actual shortage may occur at any time during the year, a shortage (if one occurs) is usually forecasted by the Water Department on or about April 1 each year.

The City’s potable water sources are groundwater and imported surface water. Rationing stages may be triggered by a supply shortage or by contamination in one source or a combination or source. Because shortages overlap stages, triggers automatically implement the more restrictive stage.

The City has established the following allocation method for each customer type. • Single Family Hybrid of Per-capita and Percentage Reduction Multifamily Hybrid of Per-capita and Percentage Reduction
• Commercial Percentage Reduction
• Industrial Percentage Reduction
• GVT/Institutional Percentage Reduction
• Recreational Percentage Reduction-vary by efficiency
• New Customers Per-capita (no allocation for new landscaping during a declared water shortage).

Based on current and project customer demand, the Emergency Plan indicates the water allocated to each customer type by priority and rationing stage during a declared water shortage.

Individual customer allotments are based on a five-year period. This gives the city a more accurate view of the usual water needs of each customer and provides additional flexibility in determining allotments and reviewing appeals. However, no allotment may be greater than the amount used in the most recent year of the five-year based period.

The Public Works Director shall classify each customer and calculate each customer’s allotment according to the Sample Water Rationing Allocation Method. The allotment shall reflect seasonal patterns. Each customer shall be notified of their classification and allotment by mail before the effective date of the Water Shortage Emergency. New customers will be notified at the time the application for service is made. In a disaster, prior notice of allotment may not be possible, notice will be provided by other means. Any customer may appeal the 128 October 24, 2023
Public Works Director’s classification on the basis of use or the allotment on the basis of incorrect calculation.

The violator shall pay the cost of service disconnection and reconnection. Any willful violation occurring subsequent to the issuance of the second written warning shall constitute a misdemeanor and may be referred to the Kern County District Attorney’s office for prosecution pursuant. If water service is disconnected, it shall be restored only upon payment of the turn-on charge fixed by the City Council.

8.4 - Consumption Reduction Methods
In compliance with CWC section 10632(a)(5), consumption reduction methods are actions that are taken by the City to reduce water demand within the service area whereas the prohibitions (see Section 8.2) limit specific uses of water. DWR allows water agencies, such as the City, to make their own determinations as to which methods and which stages for employing the methods are most appropriate for a service area.

8.4.1 - CONSUMPTION REDUCTION GOALS
The consumption reduction goals for Shortage Level 6 is greater than 50% reduction.

8.4.2 - CATEGORIES OF CONSUMPTION REDUCTION METHODS
The following consumption reduction methods listed in the Guidelines have been implemented by the City:
• Expand Public Information Campaign – Examples include begin or enlarge media campaign; create bill insert with conservation information; write articles for local newspaper; conduct water efficiency workshops for different customer sectors. • Improve Customer Billing –Examples include billing all metered users. • Offer Water Use Surveys – Examples include City staff working with water users to identify areas of water waste and areas of conservation. • Decrease Line Flushing – Examples include City staff decreasing the frequency of water line flushing and the volume of water discharged during a flushing event. • Reduce System Water Loss – Examples include City staff making water line repairs in a timely manner and working to decrease water theft.
• Increase Water Waste Patrols – Examples include implement Water Waste Patrol program; increase staffing for Water Waste Patrol; increase authority of Water Waste Patrol.

Table 8-3 provides a summary of the consumption reduction methods currently employed by the City.
130 October 24, 2023
Table 8-3 Retail Only: Stages of Water Shortage Contingency Plan – Consumption Reduction Methods

8.5 - Determining Water Shortage Reductions
The following discussion is provided to comply with CWC section 10632(a)(9). The City’s water system is supplied by groundwater wells and surface water. Each well has a flow meter that records the amount of water entering the City’s distribution system. Additionally, the surface water supplied by AVEK is metered and monitored by the City. The City use these meters to monitor actual reductions in water use within the service area.

8.6 - Revenue and Expenditure Impacts
The following discussion is provided to comply with CWC section 10632(a)(7). Most operating costs for most water agencies are fixed rather than a function of the amount of water sold. Thus, when conservation programs are undertaken, it is frequently necessary to raise water rates because the revenue generated is based on lower total consumption while the costs, and resulting revenue required, are basically fixed. Typically, water rates need to be increased by the percentages listed in Table 8-1 when the indicated stages are implemented. However, reductions in water demands, especially peak demands, can delay the need to develop costly new water sources in growing communities. The City currently charges water customers a flat fee based on meter size plus a volumetric charge for water use. As of October 2023, the City is going through the Prop 218 process to adjust water rates to properly fund the water system and needed improvements.

8.7 - Resolution or Ordinance
In compliance with CWC section 10632(a)(8), the City Council initially responded with urgency ordinances in 2015 to set forth State‐issued and additional City water use policies and restrictions to achieve the conservation mandated for the City, which had been 36%.

Implementation of the urgency ordinance provisions did not yield the desired conservation results plus it became apparent to State and local officials that the drought and water crisis prompting mandated conservation would extend beyond 2015. Therefore, the Council later Shortage Level

8.8 - Catastrophic Supply Interruption
The following discussion is provided to comply with CWC section 10632(a)(3). The Act refers to catastrophic interruptions as regional power outages, natural disasters, and other disasters that stop the water supply.

A disaster that damages the main water lines causing leakage and to loss or contamination of stored water supplies and or a disaster that causes power outages for extended periods of time, not allowing well operation, could potently deplete water storage reservoirs. Some of the risk associated with the disaster(s) are mitigated by the fact that the water storage tanks are in different sections of the City, and the four wells are located thought the city. A disaster in one area hopefully would not affect or would have minimal effect on other areas.

8.9 - Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
Water Code Section 10632.5.
(a) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 10632, beginning January 1, 2020, the plan shall include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various facilities of a water system and mitigate those vulnerabilities. (b) An urban water supplier shall update the seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan when updating its urban water management plan as required by Section 10621.
(c) An urban water supplier may comply with this section by submitting, pursuant to Section 10644, a copy of the most recent adopted local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) if the local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan addresses seismic risk.

In lieu of conducting their own seismic risk assessment, which can be a lengthy process, suppliers can comply with the CWC requirement by submitting the relevant local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan, if available. The City was one of the agencies that is included in the Kern County Hazard Mitigation Plan. The 2020 Kern County Hazard Mitigation Plan is included in this Plan as an attachment. 132 October 24, 2023
SECTION 9 - DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES
CWC 10631(f). Provide a description of the supplier's water demand management measures.

This description shall include all of the following:

CWC 10631(f)(1)(A). For an urban retail water supplier, as defined in Section 10608.12, a narrative description that addresses the nature and extent of each water demand management measure implemented over the past five years. The narrative shall describe the water demand management measures that the supplier plans to implement to achieve its water use targets pursuant to Section 10608.20.

CWC 10631(f)(1)(B). The narrative pursuant to this paragraph shall include descriptions of the following water demand management measures:
(i) Water waste prevention ordinances.
(ii) Metering.
(iii) Conservation pricing.
(iv) Public education and outreach.
(v) Programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss. (vi) Water conservation program coordination and staffing support. (vii) Other demand management measures that have a significant impact on water use as measured in gallons per capita per day, including innovative measures, if implemented.

This section provides a comprehensive description of the water conservation programs that the City has implemented, is currently implementing, and plans to implement to meet urban water reduction targets. The City is not a signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding regarding Urban Water Conservation in California and therefore, is not a member of the California Urban Water Conservation Council. For responding to the Act, the City will address the six Demand Management Measures (DMMs) described in CWC section 10631(f)(1)(B).

Descriptions of the City's DMMs are provided below.

The City has water conservation and recycling programs in place. It takes the issues of water conservation seriously and is implementing best management practices (BMPs) as necessary to achieve those goals. California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has expanded on typical BMPs in the form of Demand Management Measures (DMMs), which are discussed below.

9.1 - Water Survey Program
This program involves making free water audits available, upon request, to all residential customers. The audit would include identification of any leaks inside or outside the home, 133 October 24, 2023
reviewing water usages with the customer and recommending improvements for the customer to implement.

California City has installed water meters on each water service connection. Within the city service area, residential meters are read on a monthly basis. The City requires separate irrigation meters for customers with large landscaping areas to distinguish outdoor water from indoor water use and for the facilitation of recycled water conversions. The City’s CI, CII customers are required to have fire sprinkler systems, and since 2012, the City has required residential fire sprinklers in all new single and multi-family construction.

The City has been replacing its metering infrastructure with AMI since 2006 and is expecting to complete this process in 2019. With the AMI technology, meter readings are fed from meters to a handheld collector, which transmits meter reads to City computers. The information is then transformed into customer reports that detail water usages, time of use, and leak detection. The system increases meter reading accuracy and efficiency and provides hour-by-hour meter reads, significantly improving customer service levels. As of 2015, approximately 20% of the City customers are served by AMI.

Implementation of AMI will allow the City to automate meter reading and provide real-time water use data to City staff and customers that can be used to aggressively target leaks and atypically high-water use during normal years and periods of water shortage.

Implementation of AMI will also increase City’s communication with customers and allow customers to view water use in near real-time through the City’s staff.

City crews provide water audits free of charge to customers who question or doubt the data being generated by their meters. The audits will at least consist of manual meter reads to confirm usage reported by a handheld data collection device used to electronically read meters.

City staff can also provide an assessment of a customer’s water use by checking for leaks, irrigation use and signs of water wasting. Calls from customers requesting an audit total to less than six per calendar year and are generally performed to the satisfaction of the customer.

BUDGET: Meter retrofits and outreaching programs currently have an annual budget of $150,000 for mostly contractual work. The staff costs for implementing this DMM are absorbed by the water enterprise operational budget.

9.2 - Residential Plumbing Retrofit
This DMM involves installing water savings devices within residences, business and other usage locations to reduce the amount of water used or to limit the amount of water delivered to the connection. These devices include low flow showerheads, faucet aerators with flow restrictors and low flow toilets. State law began requiring low-flow fixtures on all new 134 October 24, 2023
construction in 1978, with an increase in stringency of the regulation in 1992, which required Ultra-Low-Flush toilets.

The City requires all new construction to install low‐flow devices such as toilets and showerheads but does not have an enforceable ordinance requiring the replacement of high flow fixtures for older homes and businesses with their low‐flow counterparts. A citywide retrofit program for older service connections has not been conducted to date.

The City estimates that there over 3,500 single family units that were constructed before the low‐flow fixture requirements. It’s anticipated that funding and implementing retrofits for the older service connections would require one dedicated and certified staff member at an annual cost of $100,000 per year plus the cost of specific materials which the water enterprise does not have funding for at the present time.

BUDGET: No specific budget has been set‐aside for this DMM at this time.

9.3 - Metering and Commodity Rates
The Metering DMM entails installing water meters on all new connections and implementing a plan to retrofit all existing unmetered connections.

The City’s water system is fully metered and in full compliance with the State of California Assembly Bill No. 2572 (AB 2572). However, the continuing drought and water crisis along with the City’s inability to consistently uphold the State’s conservation standard has led to the citywide meter replacement and conversion to AMI reading system that will help in detecting usage abnormalities via radio communication. Once an AMI system is fully installed and operational, with a balance of approximately 2,000 meters needed to be upgraded and replaced. The coordination, funding and implementation of this plan is on going.

BUDGET: The current annual budget for implementing this DMM is $480,000.

9.4 - Conservation Pricing
This DMM would implement a tiered water rate structure to encourage conservation. The City already has implemented this type of rate structure.

The current meter rate plan was approved in 2014. The typical water bill is made up using a fixed monthly charge based on the size of meter and water usage billed by tiers. The following tables detail the current tiered billing structure. At the time the current rate structure was approved, it was seen as a significant change, particularly for existing metered customers using the previous rate plan in which a fixed fee purchased an allowance of water before the usage rate could be assessed. Therefore, tiered usage rates and other more complicated plans that could have encouraged more conservation were not seen as practical options. Rather, the approved rates were seen as a first step and easier transition towards conservation that at least discouraged wasting. Since the current rates were approved, a 135 October 24, 2023
multi‐year statewide drought and the State’s enforcement of conservation measures and standards has prompted to the City to revisit tiered rates and other rate alternatives to compel its customers to be more proactive with conservation and engaged with our water crisis. The Prop 218 water rate process is currently ongoing and is expected to be implemented in early 2024.

9.5 - Public Education and Outreach
The following describes the public education and outreach efforts by the City to promote water conservation and other water-related topics.

The annual Consumer Confidence Report is mailed each year. The City uses these mailings when necessary to provide customers additional information on water conservation and other demand management measures. Display cases and bulletin boards at City facilities augment the mailings by providing a permanent posting of the most current City mailings.

The City monthly water bill distributed to all water service customers is another vehicle used by the City for public education purposes. The bill presents information regarding comparable previous year water usage so that the public can self-monitor their water demand. The bill also contains a space for public service announcements that are used to remind citizens of conservation and demand management measures.

9.6 - Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Loss The City has several programs to manage distribution system loss.

1. Leak detection program
o Daily water patrol helps to detect visible leaks.
o Customer calls on possible water leaks, when received, are inspected the same day.
o All leaks are repaired as soon as possible.
o When repairing a leak, 1) underground dig alert is notified to let other utilities know of underground excavations and 2) the water leak is repaired.

2. Regular meter testing
o Several meters are flow tested regularly throughout the City for accuracy. o Meters are also flow tested by request of a customer. o Meters are replaced, if needed.

9.7 - Water Conservation Program and Staffing Support
The following provides a description of the City’s water conservation program and staffing support.

A Water Conservation Coordinator (WCC) would be responsible for coordinating water conservation programs and activities including the public information program and education program.

The has a full‐time Water Conservation Coordinator and has also utilized available staff on a part‐time basis to patrol all service areas of the City to monitor water use and enforce the water use policies. These patrols were routinely used during 2015, 2016 and played a major role in getting the City’s water customers to reduce their water usage.

The City’s 2016‐2017 fiscal year budget calls for funding the City’s first full‐time meter department technicians that will primarily read and install meters but will also support the Conservation Coordinator to enforce water use policies.

BUDGET: The City budgets approximately $150,000 annually to fund the new meter technicians and Conservation Coordinator to ensure that water audit and leak detection programs are conducted.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: Water/Wastewater Master Plan Update 2023 Public Hearing BACKGROUND:

Water System Master Plan
California City completed its last master plan in 2002. Master planning is typically done in intervals of 20 years or longer. The Master Plan being presented was done to coincide with the evaluation of the water rate structure (Prop 218 process). Recommendations of the master plan are presented in the form a 20-year capital improvement program.

Implementation of the recommended projects in the Master Plan will provide the following benefits to customers in the service area:

Reinforces the level of service.

The City’s traditionally high level of service in supplying superior quality water and meeting customer requirements for pressure, volume and water quality and reliability would be reinforced.

For example, Wells 3 and 10 are no longer functional. Because of this, the City only has four operational wells. The Master Plan recommends replacing these two wells to maintain water system reliability.

Optimizes service delivery to customers.

Additional storage tanks are recommended to better maintain pressure and supply throughout the City.

Valves within the water system are recommended to be replaced on a regular schedule.

Provides a strategy for water main replacement.

The City has traditionally replaced the existing ductile iron water mains when there is a break.

Looking forward, the Master Plan recommends replacing five miles of pipeline every year with PVC pipe. The benefit of this new approach is to reduce the potential long-term cost of the distribution system replacement and reduce water interruptions.

Drinking Water Regulatory Compliance
Must maintain water quality in the transmission and distribution systems. To maintain this function, the Master Plan recommends upgrades to the chlorination systems at the wells sites and the establishment of a State mandated lead-service inventory. 150 October 24, 2023
Wastewater System Master Plan
California City completed its last master plan in 2002. Master planning is typically done in intervals of 20 years or longer. The Master Plan is to present the approach that has been used to reach decisions on wastewater treatment process selection, the current state of the treatment plant and collection system, and to introduce some future decisions that will be facility the wastewater system. To continue to provide the level of service required federal regulations and match the expectations of the community, ongoing improvements to the wastewater system are necessary.

The Master Plan being presented was done to coincide with the evaluation of the sewer rate structure (Prop 218 process). Recommendations of the master plan are presented in the form a 20-year capital improvement program. Implementation of the recommended projects in the Master Plan will provide the following benefits to customers in the service area:

Meeting the needs of the community.

The existing treatment plant is capable of treating wastewater to the level required to comply with the existing discharge permit. However, the existing plant was constructed in 1993.

Although the plant has been maintained adequately, it has reached the end of its useful life.

The Master Plan recommends upgrading the headworks, upgrading the aeration ponds, and providing sludge dewatering. These improvements will maintain the reliability of the treatment plant.

Provide sustainable effluent disposal.

The existing treatment plant produces tertiary effluent that is pumped to the golf course. The cost of producing the tertiary treated water is not being recovered. Additionally, the tertiary treatment system needs replacement. The estimated yearly cost to construct and maintain a new tertiary treatment system is $900,000/year.

The Master Plan recommends removal of tertiary treatment since the $900,000/year will not be recovered. Constructing additional percolation ponds and producing secondarily disinfected effluent in the recommended, cost-effective disposal option.

No large-scale expansion of the collection system.

Currently, 34% of the City is sewered. The remainder is served by septic systems. The groundwater in the area is not currently impacted by septic systems (high nitrates or coliform). Additionally, the estimated cost to provide sewer service to the entire City is $156 million or $13,500 per single-family home. Until such a time as the City can obtain funding to off-set these costs, any large-scale expansion of the collection system is not recommended.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Water/Wastewater 2023 Master Plan Updates.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of California City has recently faced some very challenging times with its water system. Numerous issues have come to light in recent years including meeting the needs of the community, pipe breaks, and planning for the continued orderly growth of the City.

Providing a reliable and quality drinking water system in California in the recent years has required many similar communities in the region to review and upgrade their systems to meet the standards required by the California Waterworks Standards (CWS) analysis criteria taken from Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. In many cases, water providers have had to adapt through either treatment or development of new water sources to meet the water quality requirements and water demands.

The following executive summary presents an overview of this Water System Master Plan (WSMP).

Project Overview
The City is now undertaking the task of updating the 2002 WSMP to reflect current conditions, as well as plan for future growth to year 2045. The 2020 WSMP provides the City of California City with a tool for planning its water system through the year 2045. The WSMP accommodates the growth within the Urban Development Boundary in the General Plan. The plan will also include discussion of the following items:

1. Evaluation of Existing Water System;

2. Establishment of Existing and Future Water Demand Scenarios;

3. Identification of Deficiencies and Operational Enhancements; and a

4. Capital Improvement Program.

Background
California City is located in southeastern Kern County in the SWRCB (State Water Resources Control Board) South Lahontan Region, approximately 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles and 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield. California City is the third geographically largest city in California with an area of 203.4 square miles. The City is near Highway 58 and Highway 14, which links the City to the other parts of the state. The City utilizes three water sources, extraction of groundwater from aquifers surrounding the community using wells, surface water purchased from AVEK (Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency) and recycled water from WWTP (wastewater treatment plant) effluent in the summer months for golf course irrigation, during winter months once storage basins are full, a percentage, around 1% or 2.2 MG is diverted to WWTP percolation ponds. The City of California City started providing service to the City since 1960, and now serving approximately 4,600 units. The City`s existing ground water system includes six wells, all with chlorination treatment facilities and hydropneumatic storage tanks, and approximately 313 miles of water main lines in its existing distribution system. The system also incorporates five above ground storage reservoirs totaling 5.85 MG. 155 October 24, 2023
Executive Summary

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page ES-4
Almost all the water from the wells is pumped directly to a series of water storage tanks northeast of the City. These tanks then feed the water distribution system.

As stated in WSMP 2002 the major deficiency in the existing water system is the integrity of steel water mains, which many of them replaced since then but still is a big problem. These mains, constructed originally in the early 1970`s of used uncoated steel, are severely corroded and prone to leak.

Population and Water Demand Projections
The 2020 population served is estimated to be 15,333. The estimated 2045 population is 22,247. This is an increase of 6,914 or 45.09%. To determine the 2020 water demand, it is assumed the water demand will increase proportional to the population. Table ES-1 summarizes the 2020 and 2045 population and associated water demands.

The City’s wells are estimated to provide 1,116 million gallons per year (2,123 gpm) based upon 85% of the maximum pumping capacity of the current wells based on a 2018 pump test conducted at all well sites and with the highest producing well offline (see Table ES-2). The table below deliberately excludes any AVEK water contribution.

Hydraulic Water Model and Results
The software used to analyze the City of California City water system is WaterCAD by Bentley Systems. WaterCAD is a modeling tool that helps engineers design and analyze complex pressurized piping systems. WaterCAD enables the user to create and compare multiple demand scenarios for the water system that are based on proposed improvements, population growth, and as defined by the CWS.

Using the model and basic numerical comparisons, several deficiencies were identified in the existing and future systems. Some of the deficiencies should be addressed as soon as possible while others can be done in the future.
 Existing System Well Capacity – The existing system does have adequate ground water source capacity to supply the existing Maximum Day Demand (MDD).  Existing System Storage – The existing system currently uses five water storage tanks to supply additional capacity and to help balance pressures in the system. The tank capacity is sufficient on its own to supply existing Peak Hour Demand and Fire Flow requirements.
 Future System Well Capacity – The future system does not have adequate capacity to supply the projected Maximum Day Demand. It is recommended that one or more wells, to be planned in conjunction with development, be constructed by year 2045 with a cumulative capacity of 1,175 gpm. Depending on the condition of the existing wells between now and year 2045, this number will likely need to be verified.  Future System Storage – The existing five elevated tanks have adequate storage capacity for future storage.

Water Quality and Water Conservation
Chapters 6 summarize some of the current water supply and water conservation measures that apply to the City.

Capital Improvement Program
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a short-range plan, usually 5 years which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule, and identifies City financing options. Chapter 7 of this WSMP provides recommendations for projects that address existing needs as well as those improvements anticipated to support development in the City. The City can then use this data to make informed decisions about project priority, funding, and timelines to establish a CIP.

Almost all the water from the wells is pumped directly to a series of water storage tanks northeast of the City. These tanks then feed the water distribution system.

SECTION 2 - PLANNING AREA CHARACTERISTICS

2.1 - Population
In order to evaluate the water system for future water demands, the population needs to be projected. This report will assume build-out of the City in year 2045. The City’s General Plan identifies a growth rate of 1.5%.

Table 2-1, Projected Population shows the projected population for each year starting in 2020 to year 2045. The 2020 population was provided by the California Department of Finance. The 2045 population is projected to be 22,247. This population will be used to project future water demand.

2.2 - Study Area
California City’s General Plan identifies a 20-year planning boundary within which urban development is expected to occur over the plan period. Since California City has grown more slowly than originally projected in the 2020 General Plan, it is assumed that the planning boundary will not need to be expanded during the life of this Master Plan, which is through the year 2045. The Study Area is shown in Figure 2-1.

2.3 - Land Use
The type of land use affects the demand for water of a particular parcel. For the purposes of determining the size and extent of the water distribution system, the existing land use was used for developed sites and the General Plan land use designations were used for underutilized and vacant (both undeveloped and agricultural) sites.

Table 2-2 shows the acreages of existing developed sites by land use type and Figure 2-2 shows the location of the existing land uses on a map.

SECTION 3 - EXISTING WATER SYSTEM
California City’s domestic water supply needs are served by a City owned and operated water system. The system consists of water wells to supply groundwater, AVEK water for low pressure situations, a network of pipes to distribute the water, and storage facilities to regulate pressure and provide storage volume.

3.1 - Existing Water Supply
The City’s wells are estimated to provide 1,116 million gallons per year (2,123 gpm) based upon 85% of the maximum pumping capacity of the current wells based on a 2018 pump test conducted at all well sites and with the highest producing well off line (see table 3-1). The table below deliberately excludes any AVEK water contribution.

3.2 - Existing Distribution System
California City’s water distribution system consists of supply lines that are laid out in a gridlike manner so that there are no dead ends of major mains. This process is also known as “looping”. Looping avoids dead ends in the lines where water can stagnate. Also, when repairs are required, water can be rerouted around the repair through another part of the loop. Additionally, head loss is minimized in a gridline system during Peak Hour Demands or Fire Flow Demands.

Water from the wells is pumped to the water storage tanks. Water distribution mains carry water from the storage tanks to the demand point. California City’s distribution system was designed and constructed as the town expanded. As development occurred along the edges of the town, pipelines were extended, new wells were drilled and new transmission mains from the wells were connected to the existing distribution system. The older water mains are primarily steel and cast-iron pipes. The distribution system is within one pressure zone ranging between 40 and 60 psi. All service connections are metered. 164 October 24, 2023
Existing Water System

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page 3-2

3.3 - Existing Water Storage Capacity
The City maintains five above ground water storage reservoirs totaling 5.85 MG. These tanks are Reservoir B1 (2.5 MG), Reservoir C2 (1 MG), Reservoir D3 (1 MG), Reservoir E4 (1 MG) and Rancho Reservoir (0.350 MG).

Water supply for the Wonder Acres area of California City is purchased from AVEK but “wheeled” through the Mojave Public Utilities District (MPUD) system. The City pays a “wheeling” charge for water delivered by MPUD. AVEK water delivered from MPUD is used exclusively in the Wonder Acres area, near Highway 14 and California City Boulevard. The Wonder Acres System has been active since 1979 and had 38 service connections as of 2015. 165 October 24, 2023

SECTION 4 - WATER SYSTEM EVALUATION

4.1 - Historical and Existing Water Demands
Water consumption and water loss are trackable quantities that have gained attention in recent years. During the recent drought, water providers were mandated by the State of California to reduce consumption through measures of conservation. Water providers then looked to system water loss as another way of reducing demands. Ideally, if the source of loss could be identified and mitigated, overall water usage could be reduced.

The City estimates that up to 30% of the water pumped from the well is lost, based on the water pumped versus water metered data provided by the City. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) have estimated that “as much as 18% of water might be lost each year to leakage, metering inaccuracies, data handling errors, and unauthorized consumption,”. Based on this, the losses in the City’s system are outside the expected range. This is likely due to the amount of pipe leaks/bursts in the system (especially in areas where water distribution pipes are installed but development has yet to happen) and water theft.

Table 4-2 depicts the current well characteristics for all six operational wells. As shown, all active wells can produce a total of 3,325 gpm or 2,193 gpm with the largest source (E13W) offline.

4.2 - Water Peaking Factors and Demand Scenarios
A peaking factor is the ratio of one flow to another, usually the Maximum Day Demand to the Average Day Demand in a water system. Peaking factors can also be developed from land use water values from a general plan or by per capita water use. The peaking factor concept has been used in the drinking water industry for nearly 100 years and there are guidelines for calculating peaking factors in the California Waterworks Standards (Title 22). The following peaking factors were used to determine Maximum Day Demand (MDD) and Peak Hour Demand (PHD).

4.2.1 - AVERAGE DAY DEMAND (ADD)
According to the California Waterworks Standards (CWS), the Average Day Demand (ADD) is computed by identifying the maximum monthly water usage during the most recent 10- year period.

4.2.2 - MAXIMUM DAY DEMAND (MDD)
The MDD represents the maximum consumption during any one day of the year. The maximum day peaking factor is expressed as a ratio of the MDD to the ADD. The CWS requires an MDD peaking factor of 1.5 or greater. 1.5 was used for the City of California City. 167 October 24, 2023
Water System Evaluation

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page 4-5

4.2.3 - PEAK HOUR DEMAND (PHD)
The maximum flow rate delivered by the distribution system during any single hour during the year corresponds to the Peak Hour Water Demand. According to the CWS, the PHD is calculated by applying a peaking factor of 1.5 or greater to the MDD. Peak Hour Demands typically occur during the morning hours. For California City, a peaking factor of 1.5 was used.

The values for the existing ADD, MDD, and PHD are summarized in Table 4-1.

1. Population projections are based on an annual growth rate of 1.5%, which is the average of the high and low growth rates from the General Plan.

2. 2020 population is projected from 2015 population 14,233 with 1.5% annual growth rate.

3. 210.171 gpcd is based on the Average Water Production per Capita calculated from max month water production of 2020 (August).

4.2.4 - PER CAPITA CALCULATIONS
Table 4-1 shows the average usage and average production per capita per day and is based on the data available for the City.

Table 4-2 shows the average water demand per capita per day for other cities in the area, some of which are similarly sized in population. The demand ranges from 146 gpcd to 300 gpcd. As shown in Table 4-2, the City of California City’s average water demand per capita per day was calculated to be 283 gpcd, which is within the range, but toward the higher end. 168 October 24, 2023

4.3 - Fire Flow Requirements
Water must be available not only for domestic use but also for emergency firefighting situations. This type of water use is called a fire flow, and the fire flow must be sustainable for a specific duration at a minimum pressure of 20 psi. General standards establishing the amount of water for fire protection purposes are set by the Insurance Services Office (ISO).

The considerations such as type of occupancy, type of construction, materials, distance from other structures, and other factors can be considered when assigning fire flow requirements.

In lieu of calculating specific fire flows for individual structures, Kern County refers to the California Fire Code Appendix B, which requires a fire flow of 1,500 gpm for any commercial, industrial, or residential home over 3,600 square feet. For this WSMP, any time a fire flow is referenced or modeled, it is at a rate of 1,500 gpm to ensure the requirement can be met at any location in the system.

4.4 - Future Water Demands
The future water requirements were analyzed using the population growth method. This method evaluates the future population growth and the water demand based on the projected population growth. Table 4-3 shows the projected population, annual water use, and demands for the different demand scenarios. Note that in all demand scenarios, the projections should be adjusted as development occurs, based on actual population. 169 October 24, 2023

1. Population projections are based on an annual growth rate of 1.5%, which is the average of the high and low growth rates from the General Plan.

2. 2020 population is projected from 2015 population 14,233 with 1.5% annual growth rate.

3. 210.171 gpcd is based on the Average Water Production per Capita calculated from max month water production of 2020 (August).

4. 4.5 - Current System Comparison to California Waterworks Standards California Waterworks Standards require a public water system with more than 1,000 service connections be able to meet MDD with source capacity only and with the largest well offline. As shown in Table 3-1, if well 15 is offline, only 2,123 gpm is available. Comparing this to the existing MDD of 3,357 gpm, shown in Table 4-3, the system is approximately 1,234 gpm short 170 October 24, 2023
Water System Evaluation

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page 4-8
of meeting this requirement. The 1,234 gpm over a 24-hour day results in a demand of 1,776,960 gallons. This volume can be supplied by the 5.85 million gallons of water storage reservoirs. Based on this, the existing system is capable of meeting current MDD capacity requirements.

California Waterworks Standards also require a public water system with more than 1,000 service connections be able to meet four hours of PHD with source capacity and storage capacity. As shown in Table 3-1, 3,298 gpm is available along with 5.85 million gallons of storage. Four hours of PHD is equal to 1,208,400 gallons. Of that volume, the wells can supply 791,520 gallons. The remaining 416,880 gallons can be supplied from the water storage reservoirs. Based on this, the existing system is capable of meeting current PHD capacity requirements.

4.6 - Future System (2045) Comparison to California Waterworks Standards

4.6.1 - ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING FUTURE SYSTEM DEMANDS
The following assumptions are part of the evaluation of future water system demands:

1. The golf course will continue to be supplied water from the distribution system. It is noted the golf course is exploring the possibility of drilling an agricultural well on the site to provide irrigation water. It is not known at this time if an agricultural well is feasible.

2. The existing AVEK connection to the City water system will remain as-is.

3. There is no expansion of the prison included in this evaluation during the next 10-year period.

The estimated MDD in 2045 is 4,521 gpm, shown in Table 4-3. As shown in Table 3-1, if well 15 is offline, only 2,123 gpm is available., The system is approximately 2,398 gpm short of meeting this requirement. The 2,398 gpm over a 24-hour day results in a demand of 3,453,120 (3.45 million) gallons. This volume can be supplied by the 5.85 million gallons of water storage reservoirs. Based on this, the existing system is capable of meeting current MDD capacity requirements.

California Waterworks Standards also require a public water system with more than 1,000 service connections be able to meet four hours of PHD with source capacity and storage capacity. As shown in Table 3-1, 3,298 gpm is available along with 5.85 million gallons of storage. Four hours of PHD in 2045 at 6,782 gpm is 1,627,680 gallons. Of that volume, the wells can supply 791,520 gallons. The remaining 836,160 gallons can be supplied from the water storage reservoirs. Based on this, the existing system is capable of meeting future PHD capacity requirements.

The projected capacities, demands and required storage volumes are summarized in Table 4-

3 From Table 4-3 in year 2040
Based on existing MDD condition model simulations and information on current facilities provided by the City, QK has accessed the existing system deficiencies that need to be addressed. Some of the recommendations should be executed as soon as possible while others can be incorporated into the City Capital Improvements Program (CIP):
 Existing System Well Capacity and Storage – The existing system currently uses an elevated water tank to supply additional capacity and to help balance pressures in the system. The tank capacity currently is sufficient on its own to supply peak hour demand and fire flow requirements. Also, as the tank level is depleted through use, it will lose the capacity to supply additional pressure to the system. The existing system does have adequate ground water source capacity and storage to supply the existing and future MDD, MDD + FF, or PHD.
 Water Pressure – Typical distribution systems maintain a minimum of 40 PSI during MDD conditions. Residential areas with pipes of 6” or less had pressures as low as 36 PSI during existing MDD model simulation. Again, most low-pressure readings from the model occurred in the western section of the City by the airport.

The major issues facing the water system are pipe bursts/leaks, low water pressure in certain areas and the need to rehabilitate existing wells or construct new wells. 172 October 24, 2023
Hydraulic Model Development

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page 5-1
SECTION 5 - HYDRAULIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT

5.1 - Overview
The software used to analyze the City of California City water system is WaterCAD by Bentley Systems. WaterCAD is a modeling tool that helps engineers design and analyze complex pressurized piping systems. WaterCAD has a powerful Computer Aided Drafting (CAD)-like interface that helps to quickly and easily layout a complex network of pipes, reservoirs, tanks, and pumping facilities. These elements can be individually or collectively edited using built-in data tables. Also, WaterCAD enables the engineer to create and compare multiple scenarios for the water system. For example, in a typical water system study, it is useful to determine system pressures under average loading conditions, peak loading conditions, or under fire flow conditions. If new development is to occur, WaterCAD can be used to determine the impact of the new development on the water system.

5.2 - Assumptions
The following are several assumptions that needed to be made to set up the hydraulic model for the City. Many of the assumptions are based on City standards.  Pipe sizes and materials, and respective friction coefficients are based on the City water system maps and the best-known data.
 All future water mains will have a minimum diameter of 8”.  All future water mains are assumed to be C900 PVC and use the respective friction coefficient.
 Pump curves at the existing wells were projected using capacity info. Actual pump curves were unknown as part of this study.
 The golf course will continue to be served potable water from the distribution system.  Expansion of the prison is not expected to happen soon.  Future water demand projections are distributed throughout the model using the project population estimates (see Table 4-3).
 Future development of the City of California City Boundary changes the total area to approximately 130,200 acres (see Table 5-1).

5.3 - Data Collection and Validation
The model is based on an existing model for the City that was updated for this WSMP, based on recent meetings and comments from the City. Updates include changes to distribution piping, wells being online or offline, updated pump curves based on recent pump tests, and updated demands based on historical data. Pressure readings were also taken at several locations throughout the City, which would then be compared to model results for verification and calibration.

5.4 - Elements of the Hydraulic Model
The hydraulic model is composed primarily of pipes and nodes. Wells are simulated using a reservoir set at the static water level and a pump programed with the assumed pump curve, generated from recent pump tests. The demands are distributed based on development and respective land use and are applied at each of the nodes. The pipe diameters and materials are entered using the pipe data from the water system map. The elevated tanks are also simulated in the system by setting the elevations and on/off controls for the wells that were provided by the City.

The various demand scenarios are based on a base scenario of the ADD which is then globally scaled by a peaking factor to obtain MDD and PHD. These peaking factors are further discussed in Chapter 4.

The future demand scenarios are based on future build out areas and land uses discussed earlier and the same peaking factors to create the MDD and PHD scenarios. 174 October 24, 2023

Table 4-2 shows the average water demand per capita per day for other cities in the area, some of which are similarly sized in population. The demand ranges from 146 gpcd to 300 gpcd. As shown in Table 4-2, the City of California City’s average water demand per capita per day was calculated to be 283 gpcd, which is within the range, but toward the higher end.

Prior to the California drought, water usage was slightly higher. Due to the drought and groundwater overdraft, the City instituted conservation measures, similar to other water providers and the water usage around California dropped compared to 10 years ago. However, a lessening of drought conditions could reduce public consciousness regarding the overdrafted groundwater basin and the need for water conservation and could result in an increase in California City's water usage without a corresponding increase in a safe water supply. It is important that California City take continuing effective action to achieve water conservation. It should be noted that California City is not in a groundwater basing subject to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

6.2 - Water Conservation
The balance of this chapter describes typical water conservation alternatives and estimates the impact such measures would have on average daily consumption per person. The implementation of these measures should, in each instance, be evaluated by the City Council based on cost, community impact, and long-term effectiveness. Whichever measures may be selected, their implementation should be accompanied by an ongoing and effective public education/public participation water conservation program.

6.3 - Continued Use of Water Meters
On January 1, 2005, the State of California passed Assembly Bill 2572, a law that requires the installation of water meters on all commercial and residential properties. The bill requires an urban water supplier, beginning on or before January 1, 2010, subject to certain exceptions, to charge each customer based on the actual volume of deliveries as measured by the required water meter. The City of California City has metered its water for many years and is, therefore, in compliance with Assembly Bill 2572.

6.4 - Xeriscape Landscaping, New Residences
It is estimated that savings of approximately 40 to 100 gallons per day per capita, during summer months, can be achieved for new residences with Xeriscape landscape design – reduced turf area and usage of low water usage plants. There is no additional cost to the homeowner. However, community resistance can be anticipated if Xeriscape ordinances are implemented. To offset this resistance, the City may consider offering a credit to incentivize adoption and concurrence with this type of design.

City of California City Page 6-2
Xeriscape (pronounced zeer-eh-scape) is a combination of the Greek word Xeros, which means dry or arid, and the English word Scape, meaning vista. Xeriscape was popularized in Denver, Colorado in 1978 by a water conservation task force of the Denver Water Department.

There are seven principles founded by Xeriscape and they are as follows:

1. Planning;

2. Design;

3. Practical Turf Areas (grass is the thirstiest component of any landscape, so it should be used only where necessary);

4. Appropriate Plants;

5. Appropriate Maintenance;

6. Efficient Irrigation; and

7. Soil Analysis.

6.5 - Miscellaneous Water Conservation Measures
Although the per capita daily savings from these measures cannot be accurately quantified, they can contribute to conservation. Recommended measures include:
 System leak detection and repair programs (using electronic detection equipment).

In addition, adoption of a plumbing retrofit ordinance by City Council would have the possibility of requiring all buildings, prior to the change of ownership, to be certified as having water-conserving plumbing fixtures in place;
 Public information and public education programs (brochures, bill-stuffers, etc. motivating purchase of water saving devices and wise water usage (reference Table 6-1); school room water education programs); and
 Water audits - residential, commercial, and industrial. 176 October 24, 2023

7.1 - The Importance of a CIP
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a plan which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule, and identifies financing options for the plan. This WSMP provides recommendations for projects that address existing needs due to past development and growth and budgeting for improvements anticipated to support future growth and development in the City. The City can then use this data to make informed decisions about project priority, funding, and timelines to establish a CIP which becomes a roadmap for developing and improving infrastructure.

7.1.1 - COST ESTIMATE METHODOLOGY
The preliminary opinion of probable construction costs for the projects proposed in this WSMP were developed using unit construction cost assumptions obtained from similar projects in California, Kern County, and those completed by QK, as well as input from City of California City staff. This resulted is the best estimate based on information available.

These costs do not include right of way acquisition. These costs also do not include a separate line item for possible increases due to additional requirements and coordination that may be needed when the project is located near or crossing an existing railroad, waterway, or other agency facility. Such costs would be captured in the project contingency. 177 October 24, 2023
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

Water System Master Plan March 2023
City of California City Page 7-4
More detailed estimates for the projects should be developed as projects progress and when preliminary engineering designs are completed. These cost estimates are to be used primarily for project planning and budgeting. More detailed cost estimates shall also be prepared prior to submitting any grant funding applications.

As such, the actual project costs may vary from the planning level budget estimates shown here. Project managers must consider all factors when determining the actual funding that will be necessary to complete projects and further develop funding as each project is developed.

7.1.2 - CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX
The Construction Cost Index (CCI), established and reported every year by Engineering News Record magazine, can be used to estimate the current value of a project based on historical data or past bid results. The estimated construction costs of the projects listed in this WSMP are likely to be different in one, five, or 10 years. With the CCI, one can estimate the value of the project in the future by applying the index over each year that passes. The estimated construction costs contained in this WMP are based on today’s costs.

7.1.3 - CONSTRUCTION COST CONTINGENCIES
Site conditions vary for all projects. Since many of the projects listed in this chapter are conceptual in nature, it is difficult to foresee all conditions that need to be considered. For unforeseen events and field conditions, a 25% contingency has been added to the overall project subtotal, which includes engineering, survey, environmental, etc. A 15% contingency has been added for construction management. Finally, an additional 15% contingency is added for other costs not covered elsewhere.

7.2 - Capital Improvement Projects
The water usage is based on growth trends and land uses outlined in the General Plan. Using the water-model and basic numerical comparisons, several deficiencies were identified in the existing and future systems and recommendations for improvement projects to address these deficiencies are listed below. Below is a list of the identified projects grouped by nearterm, mid-period, long-term needs.

7.2.1 - NEAR-TERM NEEDS
The projects that need to be implemented very soon are listed below in their order of priority and estimated timeline of necessity:

 To be conservative for any project, an additional 15% of the total project costs is added for contingencies.

The Construction Subtotal is the estimated cost to the City if the project was bid and the work performed by an approved contractor. The Construction Management, Soft Costs and Contingency Costs are shown to present a conservative overall cost to the City. Depending on the nature of the specific project, these additional non-construction costs may not apply.

Item 4, re-drill of Well 10, would involve drilling a well at the current Well 10 site. The existing well at the site is not functional and is not salvageable. Drilling a new well at the site is the preferred option to utilize the water production from the well site.

Item 5, upgrade of well 3, would convert the existing generator powered well to an electrically powered well like the other well sites.

Item 7, on-going water meter replacement, assumes 5% of the water meters would be replaced on an annual basis. Based on a 20-year typical life span of a meter, at 5% a year, all the City meters would be replaced every 20 years.

Item 10, Construct Well on South Side of City, would involve adding a well pump, electrical improvements, well head piping and connecting piping to the distribution system from a wll site on the south side of the City.

Item 11, new well by Wonder Acres, would involve drilling and installing a new well to serve Wonder Acres. Wonder Acres is currently served by water from Mojave PUD. The City will need to confirm if the agreement with Mojave PUD will allow a drilling of a well in Wonder Acres.

Item 13, lead service inventory, is a 2022 requirement by DDW. The City will need to inspect all water services to determine the pipe material used and note any potential lead services. 184 October 24, 2023

California City Wastewater Master Plan Executive Summary - I 1 Executive Summary
The primary purpose of the Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP or Plan) is to develop a conceptual sewer collection and treatment system that could serve the City of California City (City) now and in the future.

1.1 Goals and Purpose
The Wastewater Master Plan is designed to identify and describe the potential facilities that would be required for the sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant. An expanded collection system would include the entire area of the City of California City. The main objectives of the Wastewater Master Plan study documented in this report are:  Estimate existing and future wastewater flows in the Study Area.  Develop a hydraulic model of the trunk-sewer system to identify future facilities that could be needed if the area was to be taken off the existing septic systems.  Prepare conceptual level planning costs for the wastewater collection system and treatment plant improvements identified.

Given the uncertainty of key data, it is important to note that this Plan is intended to be used as a general planning tool rather than a blueprint.

1.2 Overview of Wastewater System Analysis
The City of California City faces a number of issues with its sanitary sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant. Chief among these issues are concerns over existing treatment processes and accommodating future growth within the City.

Evaluating and analyzing the City’s facilities and their capabilities on a regular basis is important for continuing to provide adequate service to City residents. State and Federal law changes also necessitate re-evaluating previous projections and planning.

California City is located in the northern portion of Antelope Valley, in the southeastern portion of Kern County, or roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles. The City of California City was incorporated in 1965, and the sewer system now serves over 1,300 customers. California City is the third-largest land area of any city in California, spanning 203.63 square miles. The largest customer of the City’s existing wastewater flow and treatment capacity is the nearby California City Correctional Facility prison.

The sanitary sewer collection system currently spans 43 miles of pipe. 190 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Executive Summary - II As with the City’s population and services, much of the infrastructure that serves the residents of California City is also in the City’s main roads. The City and other reference sources were consulted in assembling data to conduct the analysis of the City for the implementation of a wastewater collection and treatment system. GIS Data obtained included land use, parcels, streets, digital contours, city boundaries, etc..

The data collected was reviewed within the context of wastewater production for the current, a future 5- to 10-year period and a 20-year period and ultimate populations expected to inhabit the City and its SOI. GIS data for land uses, City boundaries, streets and digital contour data were used to create sub-catchments, or drainage sub-basins. Given the elevation and characteristics of each sub-catchment, a representative sewer trunk pipeline alignment was chosen. These facilities were loaded with the wastewater generation factors derived and modeled for conveyance to the wastewater treatment and disposal.

The analysis also determined that due to the relatively flat geography in much of the City, sewage lift stations and force mains would be required in multiple locations to deliver this wastewater to the treatment facility. Several options were considered for the treatment plant including the development of facility staging strategies that would maximize the performance and cost effectiveness of long-term treatment and disposal options.

The wastewater system master plan concluded with the development of the potential capital improvement requirements that may be needed to provide a system-wide sewer system for the area at build-out.

1.3 System Analyses Findings
The existing sewer system encompasses the City’s collection system and treatment facilities.

Within the City, approximately 34 percent of the existing residences are connected to the City sewer system (1,100 units) and 66 percent (1,900 units) utilize onsite wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tanks and leach lines). Per the General Plan, the expected build out of the City would involve 11,578 EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling Units). An EDU is a source of wastewater which is equal to that produced by a typical single-family residence.

The following table estimates the average daily wastewater flows from residential users connected to the sewer system, estimated flows from current septic systems, a potential prison expansion of 1,512 beds in the next 10 to 20 years and the permitted WWTP capacity. 191 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Executive Summary - III The following table estimates the average daily wastewater flows from residential users connected to the sewer system, estimated flows from current septic systems and the prison.

City buildout 11,578 2.779 0.663 (current
+ expansion)

3.442 1.0
The estimated cost of the expansion of the collection system is $156.5 million (in 2022 dollars). At the City buildout of 11,578 EDUs, this would equate to $13,500 per EDU.

This does not include the cost to homeowners to abandon their septic system and connect to the collection system. This could cost an addition $3,000 to $4,000 per EDU.

Since it is unlikely that $156.5 million will be available to do the entire collection system at once, the alternative of spending $10 million per year for collection system improvements was evaluated. Assuming inflation at 3% and spending $10 million per year, the total cost would be $215.6. At the City buildout of 11,578 EDUs, this would equate to $18,620 per EDU, again not including the cost to abandon the septic system and connect to the collection system.

An important consideration of the treatment plant approach is the need to accommodate system phasing. The City faces a number of existing issues at its Wastewater Treatment Plant, along with the need to expand operation in order to accommodate growth, particularly from the future expansion at the prison. The existing plant is currently designed and permitted at 1.0 MGD average day flow; the plant currently treats roughly

0.65 MGD on average based on flow meter records. During peak days, the treatment facilities are reaching their treatment capacity. With an additional 0.3 to 0.66 MGD from a planned 1,512-bed expansion at the prison and 1.5 MGD from projected future flows within the community, the treatment plant needs to be upgraded to accommodate up to

3.5 MGD average flows, and 6.0 MGD peak flows.

*The timeline on upgrading the WWTF capacity is dependent upon available capacity and the actual community buildout. As the prison expansion is projected to occur at least 10- 20 years in the future, the WWTF capacity will need to be expanded to meet at least that additional flow, and ideally to meet future flows.
**The tertiary treatment facility demo/upgrades are either/or options. For the purpose of calculating the total cost, the demolition of the existing facilities option was selected as the most economic option.
***Assuming City staff construction of 10-acre disposal pond.

As exemplified from this section of the Master Plan, should sewers be needed in California City, there are a number of alternative configurations and sewering strategies that may meet that need. Therefore, as future septic and wastewater evaluations are conducted and if the need for sewers is appropriate, additional implementation programs and costs should be developed to derive a suitable sewer system phasing plan for the California City community.

1.4 Recommended Implementation Plan
As shown, the infrastructure costs associated with a sewer system for the entire area to serve its build-out population are extremely high. Moreover, it is reasonably certain that many, many years will pass before this area would reach it’s built-out population.

Implementation should be based on the finding and analyses derived from future monitoring and management activities.

It is also recommended that the City continue to implement the Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) to properly manage septic tanks by limiting loading rates as part of an integrated effort to protect groundwater quality. The elements of this Program are designed to provide mechanisms to reduce loading at the source before entering the groundwater system.

2 Introduction
This Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP or Plan) was prepared by QK, Inc. for the City of California City (City). The main objective of the Plan is to consider the need for sewers, in comparison to the septic systems currently in use, and the improvements and expansion needed for the wastewater treatment plant.

2.1 Purpose
The City of California City faces a number of issues with its sanitary sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant. Chief among these issues are concerns over existing treatment processes and accommodating future growth within the City.

Evaluating and analyzing the City’s facilities and their capabilities on a regular basis is important for continuing to provide adequate service to City residents.

State and Federal law changes also necessitate re-evaluating previous projections and planning.

California City is located in the northern portion of Antelope Valley, in the southeastern portion of Kern County, or roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles.

The City of California City was incorporated in 1965, and the sewer system now serves over 1,300 customers. California City is the third-largest land area of any city in California, spanning 203.63 square miles. The largest customer of the City’s existing wastewater flow and treatment capacity is the nearby California City Correctional Facility prison.

The City’s existing treatment plant is permitted to treat 1.0 MGD average and peak flow of 2.0 MGD. The current waste discharge requirements (WDR) from the State that the treatment plant operates under was issued in 2000. Primary treatment consists of a headworks and two aeration basins. Secondary treatment is composed of two secondary clarifiers and a return activated sludge/waste activated sludge station. The treatment plants existing tertiary treatment is composed of a filter influent lift station, two cell flocculation chambers, four up-flow sand filtration units, and a chlorine gas disinfection chamber. Sludge is sent to 10 sand drying beds before being disposed of via landfill, with the City removing 49 tons of sludge in the year 2020. The sanitary sewer collection system currently spans 43 miles of pipe. 194 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 2-2
Within the City, approximately 34 percent of the existing residences are connected to the City sewer system (1,100 units) and 66 percent (1,900 units) utilize onsite wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tanks and leach lines). The expected build out of the City would involve 11, 578 EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling Units). An EDU is a source of wastewater which is equal to that produced by a typical single-family residence.

The existing wastewater treatment plant is near capacity and much of the equipment is near the end of its useful life (approximately 20 years). Upgrades to the WWTP would be needed to handle future growth and the expansion of the prison. The WWTP upgrades are discussed in a separate technical memorandum.

This WWMP incorporates the findings of the above and assesses the need for sewers and its implications as a wastewater treatment disposal alternative.

2.2 Objectives and Scope
This Wastewater Master Plan study is to identify and describe the facilities that would be required for expansion of the sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant to handle current and expected growth.

The main objectives of the Wastewater Master Plan study documented in this report are:
 Estimate existing and future wastewater flows in the Study Area.  Develop a hydraulic model of the City’s trunk- sewer system to identify future facilities that could be needed if the area was to be taken off the existing septic systems.  Prepare conceptual level planning costs for the wastewater system identified.

This Plan shall serve as a management and planning document that shall generally guide the actions of the City. It is important to note that this Plan is intended to be used as a general planning tool rather than a blueprint. Due to the uncertainty of growth, and other factors like groundwater quality, cost, etc. it will be necessary to update this Plan in the future to incorporate an increase in the influx of relevant data that affects the City and any proposed system.

The Scope of Work for this study includes the following tasks:
 Task 1: Data Collection and Review
 Task 2: Assessment of the Need for Sewers
 Task 3: Evaluation of Effluent Disposal Options
 Task 4: Evaluation of Necessary Treatment Processes
 Task 5: Wastewater System Model
 Task 6: Development of a Capital Improvement Program

 Task 7: Recommended Implementation Plan
 Task 8: Master Plan Report

2.3 Underlying Regulatory Framework
The water quality regulations that aim to preserve water quality can be grouped into the following three levels:

1. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water quality rules and regulations administered under the Clean Water Act, including the California Toxics Rule.

2. California Environmental Protection Agency and State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) water quality policies, regulations, and statewide plans.

3. Water Board Basin Plan and Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR).

The main goal of these entities is to maintain water quality objectives to protect beneficial uses and to inhibit water quality degradation.

The WDR permit for the City of California City wastewater treatment plant was adopted in 2000. Treated wastewater from the California City WWTP is discharged to either onsite percolation ponds or Central Park Lake for use on the Tierra del Sol golf course under WDR order 6-00-94.

Effluent from the WWTP must meet a Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) 30 day mean of 30 mg/L and a maximum concentration of 45 mg/L.

Biosolids generated at the WWTP are dried and disposed of in a landfill.

The RWQCB’s objective is to minimize the quantities of contaminants reaching any groundwater basin and maintain existing water quality where feasible. The Region 6 Basin Plan (Lahontan Region) has narrative groundwater quality objectives with respect to TDS, EC, nitrate, and other chemicals of concerns. In general, water quality objectives for groundwater are drinking water standards or the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), as described below:
 Waters designated for use as domestic or municipal supply (MUN) shall not contain concentrations of chemical constituents in excess of the limits specified in California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (Chapter 15, Article 4, Section 64435, Tables 2, 3, and 4) as a result of human activity.  Ground waters designated for use as domestic or municipal supply (MUN) shall not contain taste or odor-producing substances in concentrations that adversely affect beneficial uses as a result of human activity.
 Ground waters designated for use as domestic or municipal supply (MUN) shall not contain concentration of coliform organisms in excess of the limits specified in California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Chapter 15, Article 3.
196 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 2-4
The Basin Plan also states that ideally the RWQCB's goal is to maintain the existing water quality of all non-degraded ground water basins. However, in most cases ground water that is pumped generally returns to the basin after use with an increase in mineral concentrations such as TDS, nitrate etc., that are picked up by water during its use. Under these circumstances, the RWQCB’s objective is to minimize the quantities of contaminants reaching any ground water basin. This could be achieved by establishing management practices for major discharges to land. Until the RWQCB can complete investigations for the establishment of management practices, the objective will be to maintain the existing water quality where feasible.

2.3.1 Statewide Septic Systems Proposed Policy
On June 5, 2012, SWRCB has released a new proposed policy to meet the legal mandate that requires the SWRCB to develop statewide regulations for septic systems. The California Water Code requires regulation of waste discharges that impair or threaten to impair surface water or groundwater quality. Septic tanks not properly sited, built, or maintained can pollute groundwater, surface water, and pose a direct threat to public health due to the release of bacteria and other pathogens.

This Policy was prepared in response to the California Legislature that passed Assembly Bill 885 (Wat. Code § 13290) in 2000 that requires the SWRCB to adopt regulations or standards for the operation of septic tanks. In 2008, SWRCB first released regulations. This proposed Policy is the result of multiple public workshops, comments received by stakeholders from all over the state, and collaboration with RWQCB staff and local government health representatives. The new proposed Policy relies extensively on Local County and city programs, currently in practice, to educate and regulate septic tank owners and operators about the impact that improperly operating septic tanks can pose to public health and water quality. This proposed statewide Policy is designed to ensure that surface waters and ground waters are not contaminated by septic systems and are safe for beneficial uses.

At the statewide level, it is estimated that the new proposed Policy will affect less than two percent of current septic systems (or Onsite Wastewater Treatment System, OWTS, as the term used to refer to septic systems or septic tanks in the Policy); thus, more than 98 percent of current OWTS owners will not need to make any changes to their septic systems. If an individual OWTS is currently in good operating condition, and it is not near a stream, river, or lake that the SWRCB has identified in the Policy as possibly contaminated with bacteria and/or nitrogen related compounds from OWTS, then this proposed Policy will have little or no effect on that property owner.

2.3.2 Region 6 Guidelines for Sewage Disposal from Land Developments
According to the California City Local Agency Management Plan (LAMP) adopted in 2018, the minimum lot size of two dwelling units per acre is required for new developments in the region using on-site Septic tank systems. Several areas in the City appear to have an average gross lot size of less than two dwelling units per acre. Although these guidelines do not apply to the existing developments, they represent the regulatory standard indicating that the RWQCB considers high-density residential developments as high-risk areas.

2.3.3 Anti-Degradation Policy Summary
State Water Resources Control Board Resolution 68-16, known as the Anti-Degradation Policy, requires that the CRWQCB regulate the discharge of waste materials to maintain the high quality of waters of the state. Waste Discharge Requirements for facilities must ensure that beneficial uses of groundwater are not unreasonably affected. In addition, the facility must meet a standard of Best Practicable Treatment or Control (BPTC) for discharged wastes.

The “Statement of Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality of Waters in California,” known as the Antidegradation Policy, adopted in 1968, requires the continued maintenance of existing high-quality waters. It provides conditions under which a change in water quality is allowable. A change must:
 Be consistent with maximum benefit to the people of the State,  Not unreasonably affect present and anticipated potential beneficial uses of water, and  Not result in water quality less than that prescribed in water quality control plans or policies.

3 Background and Study Area
Section 2 presents a brief overview of the study area characteristics based on the previous studies and planning documents prepared in the California City area. Specifically, this section characterizes the local service area in relation to land use, current and future projected population, and service area water demands.

3.1 Study Area
California City is located in the northern portion of Antelope Valley, in the southeastern portion of Kern County, or roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles. The City of California City was incorporated in 1965, and the sewer system now serves over 1,300 customers.

California City is the third-largest land area of any city in California, spanning 203.63 square miles. The largest customer of the City’s existing wastewater flow and treatment capacity is the nearby California City Correctional Facility prison.

Within the City, approximately 34 percent of the existing residences are connected to the City sewer system (1,100 units) and 66 percent (1,900 units) utilize onsite wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tanks and leach lines). The expected build out of the City would involve 11,578 EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling Units). An EDU is a source of wastewater which is equal to that produced by a typical single-family residence.

Figure 3-1 shows the City’s total percentage of land area occupied by specific land uses.

As can be seen in the figure, Land Use categories with similar characteristics are grouped together for planning purposes. For example, land use categories such as General Commercial, Mixed Use Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial etc. are lumped into a single Commercial land use category. These consolidated land use categories are used for estimating projected water demands for the District’s service area. 200 October 24, 2023

4 Wastewater Flows
Evaluation of the wastewater flows is a fundamental element in evaluating the infrastructure requirements for the project area. Based on the historic sewer discharge flow data, population and land use projections, General Plan preferred expansion and GIS areal coverage’s, wastewater loadings were calculated for the three planning scenarios discussed in Section 3. This Section describes the evaluation of the wastewater flows for the area and describes the data sources used for the development of these wastewater loading factors.

4.1 Wastewater Flow Projections Approach
As discussed in Section 3, the general approach used in the WWMP for the evaluation of the wastewater loading rates was primarily based on two scenarios i.e. Current and Build-out (worst case scenario).

For the calculation of the wastewater loadings, residential wastewater flow projections are based on population and per-capita unit flow factors.

4.1.1 Key Assumptions for Flow Calculations
The following main assumptions were made for the calculations of the wastewater flows for the current and the build-out conditions:

4.1.1.1 Per Capita Water Demand for Current and Build-out Scenario The existing sewer system encompasses the City’s collection system and treatment facilities. Within the City, approximately 34 percent of the existing residences are connected to the City sewer system (1,100 units) and 66 percent (1,900 units) utilize onsite wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tanks and leach lines). Per the General Plan, the expected build out of the City would involve 11, 578 EDUs (Equivalent Dwelling Units). An EDU is a source of wastewater which is equal to that produced by a typical single-family residence (240 gpd/EDU).

The following table estimates the average daily wastewater flows from residential users connected to the sewer system, estimated flows from current septic systems, a potential prison expansion of 1,512 beds in the next 10 to 20 years and the permitted WWTP capacity.
202 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 4-4-2
The current WWTP has the capacity to handle the flow from the existing connected users.

The current WWTP could not handle the flow if all existing septic systems connected to the sewer system. The existing WWTP could not handle the flow from a prison expansion.

The existing WWTP is nearing capacity and much of the equipment is near the end of its useful life (approximately 20 years). Upgrades to the WWTP would be needed to handle future growth and the expansion of the prison.

Details of the wastewater collection system evaluation are contained in a separate memorandum.

The evaluation of the WWTP will consider the following scenarios:
 Improvements to WWTP to adequately treat currently sewered areas.  Expansion of the WWTP to serve currently sewered areas plus existing septic systems.  Expansion to treat build out of the City, including 1,512-bed expansion of the prison. 203 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 4-4-3

4.2 Wastewater Flows
Using the approach described above, wastewater flows were calculated for current and buildout conditions. These values were then used for the allocation of demands for various sub catchments in the hydraulic model to analyze the system. Table 4-1 below shows the summary of the population projections, per capita water and wastewater use, wastewater flow etc. for the current, 2040 and build-out conditions.

5 Wastewater Hydraulic Model
Hydraulic distribution models are frequently used for the planning, design and operational management of wastewater collection systems. In order to evaluate wastewater system hydraulics, computerized modeling software using complex mathematical equations are used.

These models serve as tools to identify potential deficiencies in the system, size future facilities and develop long range planning studies. This section describes development of the hydraulic model of the proposed wastewater system. As described above, the hydraulic model is the primary analytical tool used to determine pipe sizing, and flow distribution.

5.1 Existing System
The City's existing wastewater collection system is depicted on Figure 5 in the previous chapter. The system is composed of vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe, with concrete manholes. The existing system is in good condition, requiring no major repairs at this time. Sewage flows by gravity to the treatment plant, at which point it is pumped to enter the treatment facilities. The "backbone" components of the system are composed of 15", 12" and 10" pipe at depths of 10 to 20 feet.

5.2 Model Building
Future, master plan, flow rates were determined using residential equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) based on land use. Flow rates from EDU's were based on the following assumptions:

Average flow rate per capita = 80 gallons per day
Number of residents per dwelling unit = 3
Average flow rate per EDU= 240 gallons per day
1 Table 2-6, Average wastewater flows from residential sources, Metcalf & Eddy, Inc. 4th Edition, (2002).

EDU's are calculated by directly measuring acreages from the current land use map and multiplying those areas by the assigned practical densities in EDU's. For non-residential land uses, EDU's per acre are determined from assumed sewer loads per acre divided by 240 gpd.

The resulting EDU's per acre for each land use within the study area are:

5.2.1 Population Projections
Population projections were utilized to determine future sewer capacity demands in the year 2040. An average growth rate of three- and one-half percent was assumed.

It should, however, be recognized that growth in the study area will not occur uniformly in each service area; that, as a result of this non-uniformity, wastewater flows and pipe capacity utilization for the year 2020 horizon are only theoretical. The pipe system must be sized for buildout populations in each service area and for the study area as a whole.

5.2.2 Phasing
The proposed master plan has been prepared to accommodate the following phasing.

The master plan has been designed to serve three geographic areas - the northern, central and southern parts of the "first community" - so that construction timing in each area can be independently phased.

The master plan is designed to forecast potential construction needs for the year 2020, for buildout of the study area (the "first community"), to accommodate potential industrial growth and, to a limited degree, to accommodate growth in areas bordering the study area.

5.3 Proposed Collection System Improvements
There are sewers which display significant "excess" capacity at buildout. Such apparent excess capacity in most cases reflects the fact that the next smaller pipe size will not carry the design flow. In other cases allowance has been made for unanticipated slightly greater industrial flows (in the north service area) or for incremental flows from areas bordering the study area. It is worthy of note that the cost increment of a pipe one size larger than that which might minimally carry design flows is not significant compared to the cost of any required replacement or parallel pipes.

Figure 5-1 shows the relief sewers necessary, supplemental to the master-planned trunk sewer system, to correct existing pipe-size deficiencies. The figure also shows existing sewer mains and the master plan trunk sewers.
207 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 5-3
There are several areas in the northeast portion of the study area, and one small area in the southeast corner of the study area, that cannot economically be served by gravity sewerage. (See Figure 5-2.) Lift station costs for these areas are included in Chapter 7. 208 October 24, 2023

6 Wastewater Treatment Plant Evaluation
The City faces a number of existing issues at its Wastewater Treatment Plant, along with the need to expand operation in order to accommodate growth, particularly from the future expansion at the prison. The existing plant is currently designed and permitted at 1.0 MGD average day flow; the plant currently treats roughly 0.65 MGD on average based on flow meter records. During peak days, the treatment facilities are reaching their treatment capacity.

With an additional 0.3 to 0.66 MGD from a planned 1,512-bed expansion at the prison and 1.5 MGD from projected future flows within the community, the treatment plant needs to be upgraded to accommodate up to 3.5 MGD average flows, and 6.0 MGD peak flows.

The evaluation of the WWTP will consider the following scenarios:
 Improvements to WWTP to adequately treat currently sewered areas.  Expansion of the WWTP to serve currently sewered areas plus existing septic systems.
 Expansion to treat build out of the City, including 1,512-bed expansion of the prison.

6.1 Headworks
Influent Pumps
The existing influent pumps and wet well are undersized to handle the projected future flows and will need to be upgraded to accommodate future flows (Figure 6-2). It will need immediate upgrade to handle just existing flows and should be upgraded to handle future flow. The City is currently in the process of replacing the influent pumps (rated at 1.5 mgd).

Grit Chamber
Install a vortex grit chamber in the headworks to lessen grit into the downstream processes.

6.2 Secondary Treatment
Aeration
There are currently two aerated ponds. Aeration is accomplished via two 40 HP surface aerators in each pond. Each pond discharges to a single dedicated clarifier (Figure 6-2). The surface aerators are not efficient and are difficult to maintain. Additionally, the surface aerators are nearing the end of their useful life.

Alternatives: extended aeration (Pond Based – Biolac), extended aeration (Oxidation Ditch), rotating fixed film/activated sludge (STM-Aerotor), Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) 211 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 6-2
Clarifiers
Both secondary clarifiers and aeration basins will need improvement/expansion to accommodate future flows; the City has purchased additional land around the existing wastewater treatment facility and so has the option of constructing additional aeration ponds and clarifiers (Figure 6-2). The current clarifiers are currently being rebuilt. Further clarifier improvements will be needed if average plant flow exceeds 1.5 mgd.

Alternatives: additional clarifiers to handle additional future flow.

RAS/WAS Pumps
Alternatives: Cover pump area, upgrade/replace pumps.

6.3 Tertiary Treatment and Disposal
Tertiary Treatment Filter Influent Pumps
The existing filter influent pumps are undersized. The current pumps are rated at 1,000 gpm.

The original design for the plant upgrades called for 2,000 gpm pumps. The current filter influent pumps are a bottleneck in the treatment process.

Effluent Disposal
The City currently has tertiary treatment facilities that are used to generate recycled water for use in sending water to a golf course pond (Figure 6-1). As it stands, the existing chlorine treatment facilities are at the end of their useful life, and expensive to operate/maintain when the golf course does not pay the City for this water in any capacity. In order to continue tertiary treatment, the City could construct new tertiary filters (MBR, disc filters, or multimedia filtration) and UV treatment processes (to replace the chlorine gas addition and contact basin), totaling over $2,000,000 in initial cost along with continued operation and maintenance (O&M) costs with no revenue generated for the City from the recycled water.

The second option considered was secondary disinfection of the effluent, with construction of a hypochlorite disinfection feed system, a new pump station, and a 250,000-gallon storage tank.

This recycled water would only be suitable for use in dust control for construction, with contractors paying for its usage. The remaining effluent would be disposed of in the onsite percolation ponds. To facilitate this, an additional 10-acre disposal pond would need to be constructed (Figure 6-3). The estimated cost for the hypochlorite disinfection system and 10- acre pond constructed by City staff is $2,000,000.

6.4 Environmental and Permitting
CEQA analysis
It is assumed that any changes to the WWTP would require that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) be the appropriate level of environmental analysis. A IS/MND will need to be supported by several technical studies. The IS/MND will need to include an introduction chapter that provides an overview of the Project, a brief discussion of why environmental documentation for the Project is required under CEQA, the scope of the IS/MND.

The IS/MND will also have a chapter that includes a Project description with, at a minimum, a vicinity, Project location, and site plan map. This chapter will also include the CEQA IS Checklist (Appendix G of the CEQA 2020 Guidelines). As required by CEQA, the administrative IS/MND will include a chapter that lists the preparers of the document, a cover page, table of contents, list of figures, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, the mailing list, Notice of Completion, and references as part of the document.

The City would prepare the Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and provide the appropriate newspaper with the required advertisement. The City will reproduce and distribute the IS/MND to the State Clearinghouse and all responsible/trustee agencies and interested parties for public comment.

Permitting
A new/updated Report of Waste Discharge would need to be filed with California Regional Water Quality Control Board. This would be submitted to have the Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) reflect any WWTP process changes or upgrades.

The State is implementing nitrate effluent limitations of 10 mg/L on WWTPs in areas where the groundwater is impacted by nitrates. The aquifer in the area of California City is not currently considered impacted for nitrates by the State. However, any time a WDR is being modified, the State may add additional requirements. Conversations with the State should happen once a definitive list of projects is determined.

6.5 Recommended WWTP Improvements for California City
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a short-range plan, usually four to 10 years which identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule, and identifies financing options for the plan. The Master Plan provides recommendations for projects that address existing needs as well as improvements anticipated to support development in the City. The City can then use this data to make informed decisions about project priority, funding, and timelines to establish a CIP. The CIP projects determined from this report, with initial costs estimates, are listed below:

*The timeline on upgrading the WWTF capacity is dependent upon available capacity and the actual community buildout. As the prison expansion is projected to occur at least 10-20 years in the future, the WWTF capacity will need to be expanded to meet at least that additional flow, and ideally to meet future flows.
**The tertiary treatment facility demo/upgrades are either/or options. For the purpose of calculating the total cost, the demolition of the existing facilities option was selected as the most economic option.

7 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
This section includes a summary of the potential capital costs for the improvements to the wastewater treatment plant and infrastructure of the trunk- sewer wastewater system derived to meet a build-out scenario for California City. The system includes the modeled system backbone, wastewater treatment facility, major laterals and lift stations as discussed in Section 5 and Section 6.

7.1 Cost Estimating Criteria
Capital costs were developed for the potential build-out sewer trunk system, trunk system facilities, wastewater treatment facility based on Class 5 conceptual stage design concepts and with the guidance of recent regional project experience, vendor quotes and cost estimating reference standards. Costs presented herein are considered to be conceptual level planning costs and should not be used for design purposes. This following section summarizes the methodology used to develop the base cost criteria for developing preliminary opinions of probable capital costs for the capital improvement projects. All costs presented in this section have been adjusted to an Engineering News Record (ENR) construction cost index, which represents the average 2020 ENR cost index for the Los Angeles Area.

Total project costs include a summation of all construction materials costs, engineering, management costs, taxes and standard overhead and profit margins. Soft costs (engineer, project administration and construction management) were estimated to be 25% of the construction cost for system facilities. Taxes on materials were estimated to be 7.75% and Contractor overhead and profit were estimated to be 15%.

7.1.1 Trunk Sewer Costs
The estimated cost of the expansion of the collection system is $156.5 million (in 2022 dollars).

At the City buildout of 11,578 EDUs, this would equate to $13,500 per EDU. This does not include the cost to homeowners to abandon their septic system and connect to the collection system. This could cost an addition $3,000 to $4,000 per EDU.

The collection system expansion would be eligible for State Revolving Fund (SRF) or potentially grant funding. Currently, the groundwater in the area is not impacted for nitrates (a sign of failing septic systems). The lack of groundwater impacts will not likely rank expansion of the sewer system highly compared to other projects for SRF funding. 218 October 24, 2023

Table 7-1, in the following sections, shows the summary of the total cost for both the gravity sewers and the force mains for the trunk sewer and the major laterals evaluated for the system.

7.1.2 Manholes Costs
For the purpose of estimating on a per linear foot basis, manholes were added to the cost of the pipes. Manholes were assumed to be placed every 500 feet, as per the planning criteria, on the pipelines and for the purpose of estimating were assumed to be between 6 and 10 feet deep based on the size of the pipe. Table 7-1, in the following sections, shows the summary of the trunk sewer pipeline costs which includes the total cost for the manholes evaluated.

7.1.3 Collector and Laterals Costs
Generating a complete CIP also required that there be costs associated with a collector system for local areas within the city that drain to the trunk system. Due to the level of complexity and the intricacy of planning and design that go into this system it was unrealistic to estimate the quantity of collectors required. The cost for the collector and lateral pipelines was calculated on a standard 8-inch pipeline unit cost. This is shown to be a realistic estimate based on previous experience and studies in other parts of the region. Table 7-1, in the following sections, shows the summary of the total cost for the collector pipelines.

7.1.4 Trunk System Lift Stations
Conceptual estimates of trunk system lift station costs were also developed based on anticipated lift station sizes and flows. Lift stations were sized to handle peak flows modeled through the section of trunk being served. Lift stations were estimated based off of total estimated completion cost with phasing not taken into account.

Note that as the system was modeled for ultimate build-out flows, many of these facilities may not be needed for years because the area would not reach its build-out population. For example, lift stations in earlier phases may not require that they be completed because the full flows to be served by those lift stations will not be expected for several years. Costs associated with intermediate time frame have not been evaluated as scope of this project and should be evaluated as part of a feasibility study in future. The basic purpose for the CIP cost estimation for this study is to get an idea of how much the City will need to spend if it looks at the option of building a wastewater collection system in accordance with its General Plan growth and land use trends and if it would be realistic to spend a huge amount of capital to construct a collection system to treat the areas wastewater.

List station costs for the area lift station facilities are provided in Table 7-1. 220 October 24, 2023
California City Wastewater Master Plan Page 7-4

7.1.5 Wastewater Treatment Facility
As discussed in Section 6, the wastewater treatment facility for California City is projected to initially be designed with a Biolac process and chlorinated secondary effluent. The estimated cost of this facility is approximately $5.65 million dollars. 221 October 24, 2023

(See Interest) Amortization: The gradual repayment of an obligation over time and in accordance with a predetermined payment schedule.

Appropriation: A legal authorization from the community's legislative body to expend money and incur obligations for specific public purposes. An appropriation is usually limited in amount and as to the time period within which it may be expended.

Arbitrage: As applied to municipal debt, the investment of tax-exempt bonds or note proceeds in higher yielding, taxable securities.

Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code restricts this practice and requires (beyond certain limits) that earnings be rebated (paid) to the IRS.

Assessed Valuation: A value assigned to real estate or other property by a government as the basis for levying taxes.

Audit: An examination of a community's financial systems, procedures, and data by a certified public accountant (independent auditor), and a report on the fairness of financial statements and on local compliance with statutes and regulations. The audit serves as a valuable management tool in evaluating the fiscal performance of a community.

Audit Report: Prepared by an independent auditor, an audit report includes: (a) a statement of the scope of the audit; (b) explanatory comments as to application of auditing procedures; (c) findings and opinions. It is almost always accompanied by a management letter which contains supplementary comments and recommendations.

Available Funds: Balances in the various fund types that represent non-recurring revenue sources. As a matter of sound practice, they are frequently appropriated to meet unforeseen expenses, for capital expenditures or other one-time costs.

Balance Sheet: A statement that discloses the assets, liabilities, reserves and equities of a fund or governmental unit at a specified date.

Betterments (Special Assessments): Whenever a specific area of a community receives benefit from a public improvement (e.g., water, sewer, sidewalk, etc.), special property taxes may be assessed to reimburse the governmental entity for all or part of the costs it incurred. Each parcel receiving benefit from the improvement is assessed for its proportionate share of the cost of such improvements. The proportionate share may be paid in full or the property owner may request that the assessors apportion the betterment over 20 years. Over the life of the betterment, one year’s apportionment along with one year’s committed interest computed from October 1 to October 1 is added to the tax bill until the betterment has been paid.

Bond: A means to raise money through the issuance of debt. A bond issuer/borrower promises in writing to repay a specified sum of money, alternately referred to as face value, par value or bond principal, to the buyer of the bond on a specified future date (maturity date), together with periodic interest at a specified rate. The term of a bond is always greater than one year. (See Note) Bond and Interest Record: (Bond Register) – The permanent and complete record maintained by a treasurer for each bond issue. It shows the amount of interest and principal coming due each date and all other pertinent information concerning the bond issue.

It allows a community to demonstrate to the public the portion of total costs of a service that is recovered through user charges and the portion that is subsidized by the tax levy, if any. With an enterprise fund, all costs of service delivery--direct, indirect, and capital costs—are identified. This allows the community to recover total service costs through user fees if it chooses. Enterprise accounting also enables communities to reserve the "surplus" or net assets unrestricted generated by the operation of the enterprise rather than closing it out to the general fund at year-end. Services that may be treated as enterprises include, but are not limited to, water, sewer, hospital, and airport services.

Uncollected Funds: Recently deposited checks included in an account’s balance but drawn on other banks and not yet credited by the Federal Reserve Bank or local clearinghouse to the bank cashing the checks. (These funds may not be loaned or used as part of the bank’s reserves and they are not available for disbursement.) Undesignated Fund Balance: Monies in the various government funds as of the end of the fiscal year that are neither encumbered nor reserved, and are therefore available for expenditure once certified as part of free cash.

Unreserved Fund Balance (Surplus Revenue Account): The amount by which cash, accounts receivable, and other assets exceed liabilities and restricted reserves. It is akin to a "stockholders’ equity" account on a corporate balance sheet. It is not, however, available for appropriation in full because a portion of the assets listed as "accounts receivable" may be taxes receivable and uncollected. (See Free Cash)
