TITLE: CITY COUNCIL MEETING CANCELLATIONS FOR THE MONTH AUGUST 2026.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
For the past several years, the City Council has voted to cancel the regularly scheduled meetings in the month of August due to conflicts with events of Citywide interest. The “National Night Out” event takes place on the first Tuesday in August which conflicts with Chino’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

“National Night Out” is a nationwide event to promote and improve partnerships between police departments and the communities they serve. The Chino Police Department not only aims to bring the community together but to make Chino a safer place to live and work. The City Council has continued to express interest in attending the many “National Night Out” events that occur in the City on this night.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Given the importance of “National Night Out” to our community, it is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to can cel the August 4, regular City Council meeting to offer Council Members an opportunity to engage with members of the community during “National Night Out”.

Staff also recommends the City Council cancel the August 18, 202 6 regular City Council meeting, going dark for the remainder of August.

Should the City Council approve these August cancellations, the next regular meeting of the City Council after the July 21 regular meeting would be held on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. with Closed Session no sooner than 4:00 p.m. if necessary.

Overall, staff recommends the City Council approve the following schedule:

 Cancel the August 4, regular City Council meeting
 Cancel the August 18, regular City Council meeting

BACKGROUND
The applicant/property owner is requesting approval of Parcel Map No. 21008 to subdivide the existing residential property located at the southeast corner of Telephone Avenue and Walnut Avenue, at 12507 Telephone Avenue. The subject property consists of approximately 0.332 gross acres and is proposed to be subdivided into two residential parcels pursuant to Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), the Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, which became effective on January 1, 2022, and Government Code Section 66411.7. The proposed map includes Parcel 1 containing approximately 6,395 square feet net and Parcel 2 containing approximately 6,325 square feet net, together with associated right -of-way dedication along Walnut Avenue , as depicted on the Tentative Parcel Map attached as Exhibit A.

The request is limited solely to the subdivision of the property through an Urban Lot Split. No residential development, grading, building permits, or construction approvals are included as part of this application. Any future development on either parcel would require separate City review and approval through applicable planning, engineering, and building permit processes.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

Staff reviewed Parcel Map No. 21008 for consistency with the provisions of Senate Bill 9, the Subdivision Map Act, and applicable objective City standards.

The proposed Urban Lot Split qualifies for ministerial approval because the site is located within a qualifying residential zoning district, the subdivision creates no more than two parcels, and the proposed lots are roughly equal in size. T he resulting parcels substantially comply with applicable SB 9 requirements, and the application is limited to an Urban Lot Split pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7.

Public Works staff have reviewed the proposed Parcel Map No. 21008 and confirmed th at all Public Works Conditions of Approval (COA) applicable to the final map have been satisfied. The required right‑of‑way dedication along Walnut Avenue has been incorporated into the map, and no outstanding Public Works comments or corrections remain. Staff have determined that the final parcel map conforms to the Subdivision Map Act and applicable City standards. The map is now ready for City Council approval and subsequent recording with the San Bernardino County Recorder-Clerk.

TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 4 WITH TAIT & ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE ALLEY/SANITATION REHABILITATION FY21-22 VARIOUS LOCATIONS (SN221) PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
As part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), staff assessed various alleys to determine and establish a plan to improve deteriorating conditions. Staff determined two (2) alleys running east and west (Alleys 20 & 21), between B Street and D Street fro m Central Avenue to Benson Avenue that require repairs. Repairs consist of rehabilitation of alley pavement, and reconstruction of alley approaches, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

On November 16, 2021, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to TAIT & associates, Inc. Santa Ana, CA (TAIT) for Engineering Design Services for Project SN221 for a not-to-exceed amount of $84,640. Council additionally approved a design contingency budget of $8,464. Amendments No. 1, 2, and 3 were executed to extend the term of the agreement for additional fiscal years.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The original design scope for the alley rehabilitation included grinding off existing asphalt and overlaying the existing alley pavement with new asphalt. The scope also included a constructability review at the 30 -percent design stage to compare costs between the replacement of existing drainage gutters and construction of new ribbon gutters within the alley.

It should be noted that the project was placed on pause after the 30 -percent design was completed to assess the condition of the waterlines beneath the alleys. A subsurface utility investigation concluded that no aging steel waterlines exist beneath the footprint of the project, therefore the project may proceed without rehabilitation of the water utilities. Upon completion of a constructability review and geotechnical report recommendations, staff determined that the construction of ribbon gutters and a full depth replacement of alley pavement is necessary. As a result, the project scope would expand to address these additional conditions. Amendment No. 4 captures the expanded scope needed to complete the construction plans and specifications to staff satisfaction.

Tait & Associates, Inc. will continue working on behalf of the City to address constructability review comments, including modifications to avoid relocation of above -ground infrastructure such as streetlights and fire hydrants. Additionally, the expanded scope includes revisions to the design of pavement treatment to include full reconstruction and add alley ribbon gutters to improve drainage during rain events . Necessary surveying updates are required to tie-into the north and south alleys resurf aced under Project SN211, completed in March 2023. With these revisions incorporated into the bid set, t he project is anticipated to be ready for construction advertisement in first quarter 2027.

Staff recommend the City Council approve Amendment No. 4 wit h TAIT for $83,194 with a not to exceed revised contract amount of $167,834 for the expanded scope needed to complete the construction plans and specifications for Project SN221.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO’S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE.

PAGE: 3

BACKGROUND
The subject property, located at 13122 Roswell Avenue (see Exhibit C) , is within the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County and within the City of Chino’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). The property has a General Plan land use designation of Residential RD 4.5, which allows 3 to 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The property is not contiguous to the City’s boundaries and is currently develo ped with a single -family residence. The property owner is proposing to construct an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the site.

The property owner has submitted a development application to the County of San Bernardino for the construction of a proposed ADU. As part of the application, the property owner is requesting sewer service connections for the existing single -family residence and the proposed ADU to the City’s public sanitary sewer system.

City staff evaluated service availability and confirmed that a connection can be provided via an existing 8 -inch sewer main in Roswell Avenue. This facility is adequate to serve both the residence and the proposed ADU.

In 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025 -021, updating the Sewer Connection Policy an d establishing revised criteria for sewer connection requests within the City’s SOI.

Consistent with the policy, staff evaluated the subject request and determined that annexation is not feasible at this time, as the property is not contiguous to the City boundaries and the costs associated with annexation would be disproportionate relative to the benefit for a single property owner.

Accordingly, an Ability to Serve Letter was issued on April 6, 2026. The current request qualifies under Section 1 of the policy, which applies to properties within the SOI. The proposed development is considered non-sizable, is consistent with the applica ble General Plan land use and zoning designation and meets all criteria for connection to the City’s public sanitary sewer system.

Pursuant to the current Sewer Connection Policy, a recommendation from the Infrastructure and Streets Committee is not requir ed for this type of request. Accordingly, staff are authorized to present the application directly to the City Council for consideration and action.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) would likely require annexation of a broader area beyond the subject property to establish a logical and cohesive service boundary. However, coordinating such an annexation effort would im pose an unreasonable administrative and financial burden on a single property owner. The combined cost of LAFCO application fees, together with associated City, County, and construction -related costs, renders annexation cost-prohibitive for the applicant at this time.

Consistent with the City’s adopted policy, the property owner will instead execute an Irrevocable Agreement to Annex (attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B), which commits the property to annex into the City of Chino at a future date when a broader annexation becomes feasible. 52 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2026

Upon adoption of Resolution No. 2026 -032, the City Manager will be authorized to execute and submit a LAFCO Application for Extension of Services by Contract (attached as Exhibit A).

Approval of the Irrevocable Agreement to Annex is contingent upon the following:

1. LAFCO approval of the City’s request to extend sanitary sewer service by contract; and

2. Full reimbursement by the applicant for all costs incurred by the City in the preparation, submittal, and processing of the LAFCO application.

The City Manager shall be authorized to execute the Irrevocable Agreement to Annex on behalf of the City only upon receipt of written confirmation from LAFCO that the service extension request has been approved. If LAFCO denies the request, or if the appli cant fails to fully reimburse the City, the agreement shall not be executed and sanitary sewer service shall not be extended.

(ii) Additionally, Owners shall pay all fees and costs, at the time that they become due and payable, as would ordinarily be charged to Owners whose property is being considered for annexation or is annexed to the City, if any. (b) Development of Property. Upon and after connecting the Property to the Sewer, Owners shall use and develop the Property only in a manner consistent with the permitted use(s) for the Property as show in the Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan (“General Plan”), in addition to any other land use and development standards imposed by the County of San Bernardino.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a current or proposed use that is not consistent with the General Plan will not be permitted to connect to the Sewer. (c) Sewer Connection.

required to extend the Sewer to the Property, in accordance with City standards (as determined by the City Engineer), at Owners’ sole expense; and (iii) shall comply with all City codes and standards regarding use of the Sewer, including but not limited to, discharge regulations.

5. Extension of Sewer Services. City agrees to allow the Property to connect to the Sewer, subject to Owners’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to any conditions imposed by LAFCO in its approval of City’s request to extend Sewer services to the Property, if any, which are incorporated herein.

6. Runs with the Land. This Agreement shall run with and burden the Property and all future owners, tenants, and occupants of the Property, and shall run in favor of the City in gross as a covenant and equitable servitude and shall benefit all real property owned by the City from time to time.

7. Release of Covenant. Provided Owners is not in default of this Agreement, Owners may request that this Agreement be released by sending written notice to City requesting the release after the Property has been annexed to the City of Chino. Upon confirmation of compliance with the foregoing to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, City shall execute a release in a form approved by the City Attorney, which shall be executed and acknowledged by the City and recorded in the Official Records. The release may be executed by the City Manager.

8. Violations; Remedies.
(a) Breach of Annexation Covenant.
(i) Owners’ breach of Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement will cause substantial injury to the City, including but not limited to delaying and potentially preventing City’s ability to annex the Property and other properties to the City, which is the City’s primary aim and intent in entering into this Agreement. Since the determination of actual damages caused by a breach of Section 4(a)(i) would be difficult or impractical to determine, City and Owners agree that if Owners breach Section 4(a)(i) either by making a protest or objection as described in Section 4(a)(i) or refusing to take any actions required to effectuate the Annexation, Owners shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), and shall also reimburse the City for all costs (including legal fees) incurred by the City as a result of Owners’ breach, all of which shall be due upon demand by the City, and shall be due whether or not Owners’ breach prevents Annexation. City may also seek any other remedy for such breach available under law. (ii) If Owners refuse or fail to timely make any payment described in Section 4(a)(ii), Owners authorize City to make such payment on Owners’ behalf and Owners shall reimburse City for such payment within (30) days of a written demand by the City. (b) Breach of Sewer Regulations. If the City believes Owners have violated Section 4(c) of this Agreement, City may provide written notice of breach and demand that Owners remedy the breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice. If Owners fail to remedy the breach in the specified time period and provide proof thereof to the reasonable 66

Page 4 of 7 ends

01225.0006/699634.4 BWB
satisfaction of the City, Owner shall be liable for and shall pay to the City One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day until the breach is cured to the City’s reasonable satisfaction. (c) Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the City listed in this Section 8 are cumulative and the exercise by City of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by Owner. (d) Lien. If any amount due to the City under this Section 8 is not paid within thirty (30) days of a written demand by the City, City shall have the right to record a lien against the Property for such amount.

9. Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (i) in writing executed by the then current owner(s) of the Property and the City, and (ii) recorded in the Official Records.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
Before the City Council for consideration is a Water Source, Storage and Distribution Development Impact Fee (“Water DIF”) Credit and Reimbursement Reconciliation associated with various Preserve development projects and related backbone public water infrastructure improvements constructed by the City’s master developer, Lewis Companies (“Lewis”). The reconciliation provides a comprehensive accounting of Water DIF credits issued, credits utilized, reimbursements processed, and remaining balances through May 31, 2025.

Over the years, the City and Lewis entered into multiple Water DIF agreements establishing the framework for the issuance of Water DIF credits and reimbursements for eligible backbone public water infrastructure improvements necessary to support growth within The Preserve Specific Plan area. Eligible improvements generally include water treatment facilities, supply wells, potable water distribution facilities, recycled water infrastructure, and related backbone transmission improvements.

The reconciliation includes eligible water infrastructure improvements constructed in connection with Preserve developments between 2004 and 2019, together with several project -specific Water DIF agreements associated with subsequent Preserve development phases and related infrastructure improvements, including, but not limited to, the following:

Contract No. Project Description
Contract No. 2024-236 Projects (2004-2019)
Contract No. 2022-029 Pine Avenue (Stages 1-4)
Contract No. 2022-163 Town Center (Tract 16420-3)
Contract No. 2023-249 Block 9 Independence (Tract 16420-4) Contract No. 2024-277 Block 3A (Tract 16420-4)
Contract No. 2026-209 Block 11 (Tract 16420)

Pursuant to the applicable agreements, the City and Lewis completed a reconciliation of all Water DIF credits issued, credits utilized, reimbursements processed, and remaining balances through May 31, 2025. The reconciliation determined that a total of $29,712,190.54 in Water DIF construction credits has been issued under the applicable agreements, of which $29,331,909.27 has been utilized, leaving a remaining Water DIF credit balance of $380,281.27.

Water DIF Credit Summary Credit Amount
Contract No. 2024-236 $28,753,683.02
Contract No. 2022-163 $958,507.52
Contracts 2022-029, 2023-249, 2024-277, 2026-209 $0.00
Total Water DIF Construction Credits Issued $29,712,190.54 Less: Water DIF Credits Utilized Through May 31, 2025 ($29,331,909.27) Remaining Water DIF Credit Balance $380,281.27

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Consistent with the applicable agreements and the City’s ongoing administration of the Water DIF Program, staff completed a comprehensive reconciliation of all Water DIF credits issued, 82 CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2026
TITLE: WATER SOURCE, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (“WATER DIF”) CREDIT RECONCILIATION THROUGH MAY 31, 2025, FOR VARIOUS PRESERVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

PAGE: 3

credits utilized, reimbursements processed, and remaining balances ass ociated with eligible backbone public water infrastructure improvements constructed within The Preserve Specific Plan area through May 31, 2025. The reconciliation was performed to verify the accuracy of existing Water DIF records, confirm remaining obliga tions and balances under the various agreements, and establish an updated baseline for future administration of the City’s Water DIF Program and upcoming DIF Nexus Study Update.

The reconciliation further identifies approximately $5,713,543 in additional e stimated eligible Water DIF improvements associated with the remaining project -specific agreements. These improvements have not yet been fully completed, accepted, or submitted to the City for final cost verification and reconciliation, with the exception of $958,507.52 previously submitted and approved under Contract No. 2022 -163 associated with the Town Center project, which is included within the reconciled totals above.

Accordingly, no additional Water DIF credits or reimbursements beyond the previously approved amounts have been issued at this time for the remaining project-specific agreements. Any future Water DIF credits and/or reimbursements associated with these improvements will remain subject to completion of the improvements, City acceptance, ver ification of eligible costs, and compliance with the applicable agreements and Water DIF Program requirements.

Approval of this item will finalize the City’s Water DIF Credit and Reimbursement Reconciliation through May 31, 2025, bring the related Water DI F records current, improve the accuracy and defensibility of the City’s DIF records, and establish a clean baseline for future Water DIF administration as staff continues implementation of the upcoming Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update.

Staff will continue conducting annual reconciliations of Water DIF credits and reimbursements and anticipate returning periodically with updated reconciliation items to ensure all related agreements, balances, reimbursements, and obligations remain current and accurately reflected within the City’s Water DIF program records.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) was signed into law to provide funding for transportation infrastructure. This senate bill increased gas fuel tax and vehicle registration fees to establish the funds known as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) for pavement improvement projects. Every fiscal year, an allotment of RMRA/SB1 funding is distributed to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highway Code (SHC) Section 2032(h). Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA /SB1 funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, a city or county must submit a proposed list of projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). In addition, the list of projects must be approved by the City Council via a resolution and identified in the City’s budget.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
For Fiscal Year 2026 -27, the City of Chino is projected to receive an estimated allotment of $2,671,340 of RMRA/SB1 funds. In compliance with reporting guidelines, staff has developed a list of projects, outlined in Resolution No. 2026-033, to allocate these funds.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2026 -033, approving the FY2026-27 project list to be funded with RMRA/SB1 allocations as outlined below and further detailed in the attached resolution:

TITLE: INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES RATES FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On December 16, 2025, the City Council approved an Amended and Restated Agreement with USA Waste of California, Inc. (DBA Waste Management) for the provision of integrated waste management services, including refuse and recycling.

The Agreement allows for annual rate adjus tments based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for Garbage and Trash Collection published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics . These adjustments apply to landfill disposal and collection services.

Organics processing char ges are treated as a direct pass -through based on rates established by Waste Management’s third -party processor. In accordance with Proposition 218, the City conducted a public hearing on June 6, 2023, and approved a five-year schedule of potential rate adjustments.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The reporting period for the CPI comparison is based on the 12 -month average for the periods ending December 31, 2024 (January through December 2024) and December 31, 2025 (January through December 2025). The adjustment therefore reflects the change between the two annual 12 -month average periods ending December through December . Pursuant to the franchise agreement, annual increases to the service -related portion of the rates are capped at a maximum of 5%. Any increase ab ove the 5% cap is not carried forward or applied in future years. In addition, fees, charges, or surcharges paid to the City, including but not limited to Franchise Fees and administrative fees under Section 9 of the agreement, are excluded from the 5% cap and may be passed through directly to customers, as applicable.

For the applicable 12 -month period, the CPI increased by 5.27%. Consistent with the terms of the franchise agreement, the service-related portion of the rates has therefore been adjusted by the maximum allowable increase of 5%. The 5% adjustment has been applied to applicable residential, commercial/industrial, compactor, and ancillary service rate components, as reflected in the updated rate schedule attached as Exhibit A.

Although the service-related increase is limited to 5%, the total residential rate adjustment also includes pass -through disposal and tipping fee costs based on actual disposal rates and estimated tonnage projections, consistent with the franchise agreement and the City’s co st recovery methodology, as further described below.

Landfill & Organics Tipping Fee Increases
The following adjustments reflect updated landfill disposal and green waste/organics processing costs for Fiscal Year 2026-27:
 Commercial / Industrial Disposal (per ton):
$55.83 to $58.40 (4.6% increase)
 Residential Disposal (per ton):
$47.66 to $49.82 (4.5% increase)
 Green Waste / Organics Processing (per ton):
$108.33 to $110.95 (2.4% increase)
These increases are based on updated rates established by Riverside County for landfill disposal and by Viramontes Express / South Valley Compost Facility for green waste and organics processing. The organic’s processing fee is a d irect pass-through cost to customers and reflects the actual rates charged by the processing facility. 100
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2026
TITLE: INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES RATES FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.

PAGE: 3

Residential Service Rates
The following residential service rate adjustments are proposed effective July 1, 2026:
 Single-Family Rate (3-Cart, 96-Gallon)
$38.82 to $41.15 (approximately 6.0% total increase)
 Senior Citizen Rate (3-Cart, 96- or 64-Gallon)
$34.06 to $36.12 (approximately 6.1% total increase)
 Low Volume Generator Rate (3-Cart, 64-Gallon)
$34.06 to $36.12 (approximately 6.1% total increase)
As noted above, the total residential rate adjustments reflect both the capped 5% service - related increase and the pass -through disposal and processing costs based on historical tonnage and projected disposal activity. Please refer to Exhibit B – Residential Rate Components.

The proposed fees remain within the rate limits established under Proposition 218 notice approved in 2023.

Cost Recovery and Compliance Mechanisms
The residential and commercial service rates also include various City cost recovery and regulatory compliance components necessary to support ongoing solid waste program administration and compliance with state mandates, including the following:
 Recycling Administration Fee – Supports the City’s administrative and compliance obligations associated with state -mandated diversion and recycling programs, including AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383.

 Franchise Fee – Provides General Fund support for franchise oversight and offsets public impacts associated with refuse collection activities, inc luding roadway wear, regulatory administration, public safety, and legal compliance.

 Billing Fee – Offsets City costs associated with billing operations, customer service, account maintenance, and coordination with utility billing providers.

Together, these rate components enable the City to sustainably operate its integrated waste management, recycling, and organics programs while fulfilling applicable regulatory, financial, and operational obligations.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026 -037 establishing integrated waste management service fees for Fiscal Year 2026 -27, effective July 1, 2026, and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the City. The proposed fees are designed to fully recover contractual costs associated with refuse, recycling, and organics collection services in accordance with the franchise agreement.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On July 19, 2023, the Chino Planning Commission approved PL23 -0005 (Special Conditional Use Permit) and PL23-0006 (Administrative Approval) for the renovation and construction of an 833-square-foot addition to an existing structure, construction of a new parking lot at the rear of the site, and establishment of a small place of worship with a seating capacity of up to 50 adults within the RD4.5 (Residential, 4.5 dwelling units per acre) zoning district. The project site is located at 5135 Walnut Avenue (Exhibit A).

The Engineering Conditions of Approval (COA) require the construction of minor public improvements along the project frontage, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and irrigation meter improvements. To ensure completion of these improvements, the property owner is required to enter into a Public Improvement Agreement (PIA) and provide the necessary imp rovement securities.

Final engineering has been completed, and the property owner is ready to begin construction of the required public improvements. The required bonds have been submitted in accordance with City requirements, and all costs associated with the improvements shall be borne solely by the property owner.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The requirements made at the time of project approval have been met by the execution of the PIA for Site Approval PL23-0006 and by posting the necessary securities to guarantee the construction of public improvements conditioned for this project. The City Attorney reviewed and approved the PIA, which is attached as Exhibit B.

A. Developer is the owner of certain real property located in the City of Chino, County of San Bernardino, State of California (the “Property”), as described on Exhibit “A”, which Developer proposes to develop and construct certain works of improvement thereon, as hereafter set forth.

B. Developer has applied for and received conditional approval from the City to construct an 833 square foot addition to an existing structure, a new rear parking lot at 5135 Walnut Avenue (the “Project”).

C. The City desires to assure that said improvements proposed for the Project will be constructed in a good workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, statues, ordinances, resolutions and regulations now in force and effect in the City of Chino and the State of California, all of which are incorporated herein.

D. The Developer acknowledges familiarity with the various requirements for public improvements contained in the Chino Municipal Code and agrees to comply therewith.

COVENANTS
Based upon the foregoing Recitals which are incorporated herein by reference and in consideration of City’s site plan or other entitlements for the Property and permitting development of the Property to proceed, Developer agrees to timely perform all of its obligations as set forth herein.

1. Construction Obligations.

1.1. Works of Improvement. Developer agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to construct or install, or cause to be constructed or installed the street, drainage, domestic water, sanitary sewer, street lighting, landscaping, utility, and other improvements more fully described as Exhibit “B” attached hereto (the “Works of Improvement”), as the same may be supplemented and revised from time to time as set forth in this Agreement (said plans and specifications, together with all related documents, the “Plans”). The estimated construction cost for the Works of Improvement is $17,400.00.

1.2. Other Obligations Referenced in Conditions of Tentative Map Approval. In addition to the foregoing, Developer shall satisfy all of the other Conditions associated with the 121
01225.0006/367559.3
2 Project and the Property. The Conditions associated with the Map are included in Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

1.3. Intent of Plans. The intent of the Plans referenced in Section 1.1 is to prescribe a complete work of improvement which Developer shall perform or cause to be performed in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer, (or designee), and in full compliance with all codes and the terms of this Agreement. Developer shall complete a functional or operable improvement or facility, even though the Plans may not specifically call out all items of work required for Developer’s contractor to complete its tasks, incidental appurtenances, materials, and the like. If any omissions are made or information necessary to carry out the full intent and meaning of the Plans, Developer or its contractor shall immediately notify its design engineer who will seek approval of the City Engineer for furnishing of detailed instructions. In the event of any doubt or question arising regarding the true meaning of any of the Plans, reference shall be made to the City Engineer whose decision thereon shall be final.

Developer recognizes that the Plans consist of general drawings. All authorized alterations affecting the requirements and information given on the Plans shall be in writing and approved by the City Engineer. The Plans shall be supplemented by such working or shop drawings as are necessary to adequately control the work. Without the City Engineer’s prior written approval, no change shall be made by Developer or its contractor to any plan, specification, or working or shop drawing after it has been stamped as approved.

1.4. Performance of Work. Developer shall furnish or cause to be furnished all materials, labor, tools, equipment, utilities, transportation, and incidentals required to perform Developer’s obligations under this Agreement.

1.5. Changes in the Work. The City Engineer, without invalidating this Agreement and without notification to any of the sureties or financial institutions referenced in Paragraph 4, may order extra work or may make changes by altering or deleting any portion of the Works of Improvement as specified herein or as deemed necessary or desirable by the City Engineer as determined necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and to protect the public health, safety, or welfare. The City Engineer shall notify Developer or its contractor in writing (by Correction Notice) at the time a determination has been made to require changes in the work. No field changes performed or proposed by Developer or its contractor shall be binding on City unless approved in writing by the City Engineer. The City and Developer may mutually agree upon changes to the Works of Improvement, subject to the security requirements in Section 4.

1.6. Defective Work. Developer shall cause its contractor to repair, reconstruct, replace, or otherwise make acceptable any work found by the City Engineer to be defective.

1.7. No Warranty by City. The Plans for the Works of Improvement have been prepared by or on behalf of Developer or its consultants or contractors, and City makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to Developer or to any other person regarding the adequacy of the Plans or related documents.

1.8. Authority of the City Engineer. In addition to the authority granted to the City Engineer elsewhere in this Agreement, the City Engineer shall have the authority to decide all 122
01225.0006/367559.3
3 questions which may arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished and work performed, and all questions as to the satisfactory and acceptable fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement by Developer and its contractor.

1.9. Documents Available at the Site. Developer shall cause its contractor to keep a copy of all approved Plans at the job site and shall give access thereto to the City’s inspectors and engineers at all times.

1.10. Inspection. Developer shall have an authorized representative on the job site at all times during which work is being done who has full authority to act for Developer, or its design engineer, and Developer’s contractor(s) regarding the Works of Improvement.

Developer shall cause its contractor to furnish the City with every reasonable facility for ascertaining whether or not the Works of Improvement as performed are in accordance with the requirements and intent of this Agreement, including the Plans. If the City inspector requests it, the Developer’s contractor, at any time before acceptance of the Works of Improvement, shall remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be directed which have not previously been inspected. After examination, the Developer’s contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the standards required hereunder. Inspection or supervision by the City Engineer (or designee) shall not be considered as direct control of the individual workmen on the job site. City’s inspectors shall have the authority to stop any and all work not in accordance with the requirements contained or referenced in this Agreement.

The inspection of the work by City shall not relieve Developer or its contractor of any obligations to fulfill this Agreement as herein provided, and unsuitable materials or work may be rejected notwithstanding that such materials or work may have been previously overlooked or accepted.

1.11. Compliance with Law; Applicable Standards for Improvements. In addition to the express provisions of this Agreement and the Plans, Developer shall cause construction of the Works of Improvement to be completed in accordance with all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the Developer shall, at its expense, obtain and comply with the conditions of all necessary permits and licenses for the construction of the Works of Improvement. The Developer shall also give all necessary notices and pay all fees and taxes as required by law.

Developer shall construct the improvements in accordance with the City standards in effect at the time of the adoption of this Agreement. City reserves the right to protect the public safety or welfare or comply with applicable Federal or State law or City zoning ordinances.

1.12. Suspension of Work. The City Engineer shall have authority to order suspension of the work for failure of the Developer’s contractor to comply with law pursuant to Section

1.12. In case of suspension of work for any cause whatsoever, Developer and its contractor shall be responsible for all materials and shall store them properly if necessary and shall provide suitable interim drainage and/or dust control measures, and erect temporary structures where necessary.

1.13. Erosion and Dust Control and Environmental Mitigation. All grading, landscaping, and construction activities shall be performed in a manner to control erosion and prevent 123
01225.0006/367559.3
4 flooding problems. The City Engineer shall have the authority to require erosion plans to prescribe reasonable controls on the method, manner, and time of grading, landscaping, and construction activities to prevent nuisances to surrounding properties. Plans shall include without limitation temporary drainage and erosion control requirements, dust control procedures, restrictions on truck and other construction traffic routes, noise abatement procedures, storage of materials and equipment, removal of garbage, trash, and refuse, securing the job site to prevent injury, and similar matters.

1.14. Final Acceptance of Works of Improvement. After Developer’s contractor has completed all of the Works of Improvement, Developer shall then request a final inspection of the work. If items are found by the City’s inspectors to be incomplete or not in compliance with this Agreement or any of the requirements contained or referenced herein, City will inform the Developer or its contractor of such items. After the Developer’s contractor has completed these items, the procedure shall then be the same as specified above for the Developer’s contractor’s initial request for final inspection. If items are found by City’s inspectors to be incomplete or not in compliance after two (2) “final” inspections, the City may require the Developer or its contractor, as a condition to performing further field inspections, to submit in writing a detailed statement of the work performed subsequent to the date of the previous inspection which was found to be incomplete or not in compliance at that time. Developer shall be responsible for payment to City Engineer of re-inspection fees in the amount necessary to cover the City’s costs for additional final inspections, as determined by the City Engineer.

No inspection or acceptance pertaining to specific parts of the Works of Improvement shall be construed as final acceptance of any part until the overall final acceptance by the City Engineer is made. The City Engineer shall make a certification of completion and acceptance on the Works of Improvement by recordation of a Notice of Acceptance on behalf of the City.

Final acceptance shall not constitute a waiver by the City Engineer of defective work subsequently discovered.

The date on which the Works of Improvement will be considered as complete shall be the date of the Notice of Acceptance.

1.15. Vesting of Ownership. Upon recordation of the Notice of Acceptance, ownership of the Works of Improvement shall vest in the City.

1.16. Developer’s Obligation to Warn Public During Construction. Until recordation of the Notice of Acceptance, Developer shall give good and adequate warning to the public of any dangerous condition of the Works of Improvements and shall take reasonable actions to protect the public from such dangerous condition. Until recordation of the Notice of Acceptance, Developer shall provide forty-eight (48) hours’ advance written notice to all neighboring property owners and tenants affected by Developer’s operations or construction of the hours, dates and duration of any planned construction activities.

1.17. Injury to Public Improvements, Public Property or Public Utility. Until recordation of the Notice of Acceptance of the Works of Improvement, Developer assumes responsibility for the care and maintenance of, and any damage to, the Works of Improvements. Developer shall replace or repair all Works of Improvements, public property, public utility facilities, and 124
01225.0006/367559.3
5 surveying or subdivision monuments and benchmarks which are destroyed or damaged for any reason, regardless whether resulting from the acts of the Developer, prior to the recordation of the Notice of Acceptance. Developer shall bear the entire cost of such replacement or repairs regardless of what entity owns the underlying property. Any repair or replacement shall be to the satisfaction, and subject to the approval, of the City Engineer.

Neither the City, nor any officer or employee thereof, shall be liable or responsible for any accident, loss or damage, regardless of cause, occurring to the work or Works of Improvements prior to recordation of the Notice of Acceptance of the work or improvements.

2. Time for Performance.

2.1. Commencement and Completion Dates. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below, Developer shall (i) commence with construction and installation of the Works of Improvement thirty (30) days following City’s approval of the Plans (“Commencement Date”); and (ii) complete or cause to be completed all of the Works of Improvement within two (2) years after the Commencement Date. In the event good cause exists as determined by the City Engineer, the time for commencement of construction or completion of the Works of Improvement hereunder may be extended by up to three (3) additional one-year periods. Extensions shall be executed in writing by the City Engineer. The City Engineer in his or her sole discretion determines whether or not the Developer has established good cause for an extension. As a condition of such extension, the City Engineer may require Developer to furnish new security guaranteeing performance of this Agreement, as extended, in an increased amount to compensate for any increase in construction costs as determined by the City Engineer. If Developer requests and is granted an extension of time for completion of the improvements, City may apply the standards in effect at the time of the extension.

2.2. Phasing Requirements. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, the City reserves the right to control and regulate the phasing of completion of specific Works of Improvement as required to comply with applicable City ordinances, regulations, and rules relating to the timely provision of public services and facilities. In addition to whatever other remedies the City may have for Developer’s failure to satisfy such phasing requirements, as the same now exist or may be amended from time to time, Developer acknowledges City’s right to withhold the issuance of further building permits on the Property until such phasing requirements are satisfied. Prior to issuance of building permits, Developer shall provide satisfactory evidence that all applicable requirements that are a condition to issuance of building permits have been satisfied. Such requirements may include the payment of fees, construction of improvements, or both. Final inspections or issuance of Certificates of Occupancy may be withheld from the Developer by the City, if, upon a determination by the City Engineer, completion of specific Works of Improvements or other requirements associated with the development of the Property have not been completed to the City Engineer’s satisfaction.

2.3. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, Developer’s time for commencement and completion of the Works of Improvement shall be extended for the period of any enforced delay caused due to circumstances beyond the control and without the fault of Developer, including to the extent applicable adverse weather conditions, flood, 125
01225.0006/367559.3
6 earthquakes, strikes, lockouts, pandemics, acts or failures to act of a public agency (including City), required changes to the scope of work required by City, and similar causes; provided, however, that the period of any enforced delay hereunder shall not include any period longer than five (5) days prior to City’s receipt of a written notice from Developer or its contractor detailing the grounds for Developer’s claim to a right to extend its time for performance hereunder. The City Engineer shall evaluate all claims to Force Majeure and make a reasonable determination regarding the length of any extension of time for commencement and/or completion of the Works of Improvement and the City Engineer’s decision shall be final.

2.4. Continuous Work. After commencement of construction of the Works of Improvement (or separate portion thereof), Developer shall cause such work to be diligently pursued to completion and shall not abandon the work for a consecutive period or more than thirty (30) days, events of Force Majeure excepted.

3. Labor.

3.1. Labor Standards. This Agreement is subject to, and Developer agrees to comply with, all of the applicable provisions of the Labor Code including, but not limited to, the wage and hour, prevailing wage, worker compensation, and various other labor requirements in Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, including section 1720 to 1740, 1770 to 1780, 1810 to 1815, 1860 to 1861, which provisions are specifically incorporated herein by reference as set forth herein in their entirety.

(b) In the event of draw by the City on a letter of credit, the City may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply any such funds drawn to the obligations secured by such letter of credit or to hold such funds in an account under the control of the City, with no interest accruing thereon for the benefit of the Developer. If the City elects to hold the funds in an account pursuant to the foregoing, City may thereafter at any time elect instead to apply such funds as provided in the foregoing. Developer agrees and hereby grants City a security interest in such account to the extent required for City to realize on its interests therein and agrees to execute and deliver to City any other documents requested by City in order to evidence the creation and perfection of City’s security interest in such account.

4.5. Release of Security Instruments. The City shall release all Security Instruments consistent with Government Code Sections 66499.7 and 66499.8, Section 19.09.010 of the Chino Municipal Code, and as follows:

(i) Developer has made written request for release and provided evidence of satisfaction of all other requirements in this Section 4.5; (ii) the Works of Improvement have been accepted;
(iii) Developer has delivered the Maintenance and Warranty Security Instrument; and
(iv) after passage of the time within which lien claims are required to be made pursuant to Title 3 (commencing with Section 9000) of Part 6 of Division 4 of the Civil Code of the State of California. If lien claims have been timely filed, City shall hold the Labor and Materials Security Instrument until such claims have been resolved, 129
01225.0006/367559.3
10 Developer has provided a statutory bond, or otherwise as required by applicable law.
(b) City shall release the Maintenance and Warranty Security Instrument upon Developer’s written request upon the expiration of the warranty period, and settlement of any claims filed during the warranty period. (c) The City may retain from any security released, an amount sufficient to cover costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

5. Cost of Construction and Provision of Inspection Service.

5.1. Developer Responsible for All Costs of Construction. Developer shall be responsible for payment of all costs incurred for construction and installation of the Works of Improvement. In the event Developer is entitled to reimbursement from City for any of the Works of Improvement, such reimbursement shall be subject to a separate Reimbursement Agreement to be entered into between Developer and City prior to construction of the Works of Improvement.

5.2. Payment to City for Cost of Related Inspection and Engineering Services.

Developer shall compensate City for all of City’s costs reasonably incurred in having its authorized representative make the usual and customary inspections of the Works of Improvement. In addition, Developer shall compensate City for all design, plan check, evaluating any proposed or agreed-upon changes in the work. The procedures for deposit and payment of such fees shall be as established by the City. In no event shall Developer be entitled to additional inspections or a final inspection and acceptance of any of the Works of Improvement until all City fees and charges have been fully paid, including without limitation, charges for applicable penalties and additional required inspections.

5.3. Payment of Development Impact Fees. Developer shall pay Development Impact Fees pursuant to and in accordance with Chino Municipal Code Chapter 3.40 and Chapter

3.45, as applicable.

6. Acceptance of Offers of Dedication. The City Council shall pass as appropriate resolution or resolutions accepting all offers of dedication shown on the approvals for the Project, with acceptance to become effective upon completion and acceptance by City of the Works of Improvement.

7. Warranty of Work. Developer shall guarantee all Works of Improvement against defective materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of final acceptance. If any of the Works of Improvement should fail or prove defective within said one (1) year period due to any reason other than improper maintenance, or if any settlement of fill or backfill occurs, or should any portion of the Works of Improvement fail to fulfill any requirements of the Plans, Developer, within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such defects, or within such shorter time as may reasonably be determined by the City in the event of emergency, shall commence to repair or replace the same together with any other work which may be damaged or displaced in so doing. Should Developer fail to remedy defective 130
01225.0006/367559.3
11 material and/or workmanship or make replacements or repairs within the period of time set forth above, City may make such repairs and replacements and the actual cost of the required labor and materials shall be chargeable to and payable by Developer. The warranty provided herein shall not be in lieu of, but shall be in addition to, any warranties or other obligations otherwise imposed by law.

8. Default.

8.1. Default by Developer. Default by Developer shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) Developer’s failure to timely commence construction of Works of Improvement under this Agreement;
(b) Developer’s failure to timely complete construction of the Works of Improvement;
(c) Developer’s failure to perform substantial construction work for a period for 20 consecutive calendar days after commencement of the work; (d) Developer’s insolvency, appointment of a receiver, or the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, either voluntary or involuntary, which Developer fails to discharge within 30 days;
(e) The commencement of a foreclosure action against the Property or a portion thereof, or any conveyance in lieu or in avoidance of foreclosure; or (f) Developer’s failure to perform any other obligation under this Agreement.

8.2. Remedies. The City reserves all remedies available to it at law or in equity for a default or breach of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. The City shall have the right, subject to this Section, to draw upon or use the appropriate security to mitigate the City’s damages in the event of default by Developer. The City’s right to draw upon or use the security is in addition to any other remedy available to City. The parties acknowledge that the estimated costs and security amounts may not reflect the actual cost of construction of the improvements and, therefore, City’s damages for Developer’s default shall be measured by the cost of completing the required improvements. The City may use the sums provided by the securities for the completion of the Works of Improvement in accordance with the plans. In the event the Developer fails to cure any default under this Agreement within 20 days after the City mails a notice of such default to the Developer and the Developer’s surety, Developer authorizes the City to perform the obligation for which Developer is in default and agrees to pay the entire cost of such performance by the City. The City may take over the work and complete the Works of Improvement, by contract or by any other method City deems appropriate, at the expense of the Developer. In such event, City, without liability for doing so, may complete the Works of Improvement using any of Developer’s materials, appliances, plans and other property that are at the work site and that are necessary to complete the Works of Improvement.
131
01225.0006/367559.3
12 8.3. Remedies Not Exclusive. In any case where this Agreement provides a specific remedy to City for a default by Developer hereunder, the Developer agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for Developer’s breach shall be in the discretion of the City. Additionally, any remedy specifically provided in this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, City’s right to pursue any other administrative, legal, or equitable remedy to which it may by entitled.

8.4. Attorney’s Fees and Costs. In the event that Developer fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement, Developer agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by City in securing performance of such obligations, including costs of suit and reasonable attorney’s fees. In the event of any dispute arising out of Developer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Security Instruments referenced herein, the prevailing party in such action, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Such attorney’s fees and cost shall include fees and costs on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees and costs shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs incurred in investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, retaining expert witnesses, and all other necessary and related costs with respect to the litigation. All such fees and costs shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of the action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.

8.5. Waiver. No waiver by the City of any breach or default by the Developer shall be considered valid unless in writing, and no such waiver by the City shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default by the Developer.

9. Indemnity/Hold Harmless. City or any officer, employee or agent thereof shall not be liable for any injury to persons or property occasioned by reason of the acts or omissions of Developer, its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement. Developer further agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, its officials, boards and commissions, and members thereof, agents, and employees from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liability or loss of any sort, because of, or arising out of, acts or omissions of Developer, its agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement, except for such claims, demands, causes of action, liability or loss arising out of the sole active negligence of the City, its officials, boards, commissions, the members thereof, agents and employees, including all claims, demands, causes of action, liability or loss because of or arising out of, in whole or in part, the design or construction of the improvements. This indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall extend to injuries to persons and damages or taking of property resulting from the design or construction of said Project, and the public improvements as provided herein, and in addition, to adjacent property owners as a consequence of the diversion of waters from the design and construction of public drainage systems, streets and other improvements. Recordation of the Notice of Acceptance by the City of the Works of Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by the City of any responsibility for any damage or taking covered by this Section.

City shall not be responsible for the design or construction of the property to be dedicated or the improvements pursuant to the approved improvement plans or map, regardless of any negligent action or inaction taken by the City in approving the plans or map, unless the particular improvement design was specifically required by City over written objection by 132
01225.0006/367559.3
13 Developer submitted to the City Engineer before approval of the particular improvement design, which objection indicated that the particular improvement design was dangerous or defective and suggested an alternative safe and feasible design.

After recordation of the Notice of Acceptance, the Developer shall remain obligated to eliminate any latent defect in design or dangerous condition caused by the design or construction defect for a period of one (1) year; however, Developer shall not be responsible for routine maintenance. It is the intent of this section that Developer shall be responsible for all liability for design and construction of the improvements installed or work done pursuant to this Agreement and that City shall not be liable for any negligence, nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance in approving or reviewing any work or construction. The improvement security shall not be required to cover the provisions of this Paragraph.

Developer shall reimburse the City for all costs and expenses, including but not limited to fees and charges of architects, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals, and court costs, incurred by City in enforcing this Section.

10. Developer’s Indemnity of Project Approval. Developer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its agents, officers, and employees from any claim, action, or proceeding against the City or its agents, officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul, an approval of the City, advisory agency, appeal board, or legislative body concerning the Project. The City shall promptly notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense of any such claim, action, or proceeding. In the event City fails to promptly notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding, or if the City fails to cooperate in the defense, the Developer shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless the City. Nothing in this Section prohibits the City from participating in the defense of any claim, action, or proceeding if City bears its own attorney’s fees and costs and defends the action in good faith. Developer shall not be required to pay or perform any settlement unless the settlement is approved by the Developer.

11. Insurance Requirements. Developer, at Developer’s sole cost and expense and for the full term of this Agreement and any extensions thereto, shall obtain and maintain all of the following minimum insurance requirements in a form approved by the City’s authorized designee for Risk Management prior to commencing any work:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2026
TITLE: ASSEMBLY BILL (AB) 2561 - ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING ON CITY OF CHINO JOB VACANCIES AND RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2024, Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 was signed into law, which became effective on January 1, 2025, under California Government Code Section 3502.3. This new law amends the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), which establishes collective bargaining rights for local government employees. The primary objective of Government Code Section 3502.3 is to address vacancy rates within local public agencies, including the City of Chino, by enhancing transparency and accountability in recruitment and retention efforts.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Under Government Code Section 3502.3, the City must hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts prior to the adoption of the final budget. In addition, recognized employee organizations are entitled to make their own presentation during the public hearing.

If the total number of full -time authorized positions within a bargaining unit exceeds 20%, the City must also pro vide the following information upon request to the recognized employee organization: 1) total number of vacancies within the bargaining unit; 2) total number of applications for vacant positions; 3) average number of days to complete the hiring process; and 4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions.

As of May 28, 2026, no employee groups in the City have a vacancy rate that exceeds 20%.

In accordance with Government Code Section 3502.3, the Human Resources/Risk Management Department h as implemented a range of proactive measures to enhance recruitment and retention strategies. Outreach efforts have been expanded through active participation in job fairs and targeted job advertisements on social media and professional organizations. Since the start of FY2025-26, City staff has processed approximately 47 full-time recruitments, screened 7,058 applications, and coordinated 68 interviews. As a result of these efforts, to date 24 full-time employees have been hired and 38 employees have been promoted from within the City.

To support employee retention, the City has implemented a range of internal training programs and professional development pathways designed to promote career growth from within and reduce turnover. These initiatives include customer service training and professional development training focused on developing future leaders from the existing workforce.

Additionally, the City offers benefits such as a Tuition Advancement Program to help employees further their education and sk ill development. To strengthen recruitment and retention in critical areas, particularly public safety, the City has also introduced targeted hiring incentives, including a sick leave hiring incentive and hiring bonuses.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2026
TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (UWMP) AND WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN (WSCP).

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
In 1983, the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act) was established by Assembly Bill 797, and passage of this law recognized that water is a limited resource and that efficient water use and conservation would be actively pursued throughout the State of California. The UWMP Act requires that water suppliers 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, prepare and submit an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) every five years.

The City of Chino is classified as an urban water supplier pursuant to the California Water Code Sections 10610 through 10657 because it serves more than 3,000 customers and supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually.

The purpose of the UWMP is to evaluate long -term water resource planning and ensure adequate and reliable water supplies are available to meet existing and future demands under a range of conditions, including normal, single dry year, and multiple dry year scenarios. The UWMP also serves as a planning tool to support water conservation, efficient water use, infrastructure planning, and coordination with regional and statewide water management efforts.

The City’s 2025 UWMP is an update to the previously adop ted 2020 UWMP and includes updated population, demand, supply, and conservation information through a 2050 planning horizon.

In 2018, the State also required urban water suppliers to prepare a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The WSCP establishes response actions and planning measures to address potential water shortages resulting from drought, infrastructure disruptions, or other supply constraints. The City’s 2025 WSCP is included in Chapter 8 as part of the 2025 UWMP update.

The 2025 UWMP and WSC P incorporate updated water supply and planning information provided by the City’s regional water agencies, including Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA), and Water Facilities Authority (WFA).

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City’s water supply portfolio includes local groundwater production from the Chino Basin, treated groundwater supplies from the Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA), imported water supplies delivered through the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and t reated by the Water Facilities Authority (WFA), and recycled water supplies from IEUA. The UWMP concludes that the City is projected to maintain adequate water supplies to meet projected demands under normal, single dry year, and multiple dry year conditions through the long-term planning period.

The UWMP also documents the City’s continued progress toward water conservation and water use efficiency. Under the State’s previous Senate Bill X7 -7 requirements, the City achieved its 2020 water use target of 189 gallons per capita per day (GPCD), reaching 169 GPCD in FY 2019-20. Most recently, the City’s estimated 2025 water use is approximately 143 GPCD, reflecting continued improvements in conservation and water efficiency efforts.

While the State previously u tilized a single GPCD target under SB X7 -7, current water use efficiency requirements are now regulated under the State’s “Making Conservation a California Way of Life” framework and Urban Water Use Objective (UWUO) methodology. This updated framework eval uates water use efficiency across multiple components, including indoor residential use, outdoor irrigation, commercial and institutional irrigation demands, and system 187

water loss. The City’s demand projections and long -term planning efforts incorporated i nto the 2025 UWMP were developed using these updated State methodologies.

The 2025 WSCP establishes the City’s response framework for potential water shortage conditions and includes six standard shortage levels with corresponding response actions, demand reduction measures, communication protocols, and emergency response planning.

Pursuant to California Water Code Section 10652, the preparation and adoption of an Urban Water Management Plan is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). S taff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2026 -034 adopting the 2025 UWMP and 2025 WSCP and authorizing submittal of the documents to the California Department of Water Resources.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 1-2

1.1 Introduction for Chino
An urban water supplier is defined (pursuant to Section 10617 of the California Water Code (CWC) as:
“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 cont ractor for water, regardless of the basis of right, which distributes or sells for ultimate resale to customers.”
The City of Chino (City or Chino) is classified as an urban water supplier because it serves more than 3,000 customers (i.e., individual metered accounts) and it supplies more than 3,000 acre- feet of water annually to its customers for municipal purposes as detailed in Section 2.1.

In 1983, the State of California Legislature (Legislature) enacted the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act). The law requires an urban water supplier to adopt an UWMP every five years by July 1 of years ending in “6” and “1”, incorporating updated and new information from the five years preceding each update. This UWMP must demonstrate water supply reliability under both normal and drought conditions for a minimum 20-year planning horizon.

The UWMP Act applies to wholesale and retail water suppliers.

Since the original UWMP Act was passed, it has undergone significant expansion. Prolonged droughts, groundwater overdraft, regulatory revisions, and changing climatic conditions affect the reliability of each water supplier as well as statewide water reliability overseen by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), and the Legislature. Accordingly, the UWMP Act has grown to address changing conditions. The current requirements are found in Sections 10610-10656 and 10608 of the CWC.

In 2018, the Legislature modified the CWC to require a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) with specific elements. The WSCP is a document that provides a supplier with an action plan for a drought or catastrophic water supply shortage. CWC 10632 includes requirements for suppliers to prepare a WSCP. The WSCP documents a supplier’s plans to manage and mitigate an actual water shortage condition, should one occur because of drought or other impacts on water supplies. The WSCP is a standalone document that can be updated independently of the UWMP, but it can be included as a section of the UWMP or referenced and attached to the 2025 UWMP as an appendix. The WSCP is described in Section 8.

DWR provides guidance for urban water suppliers by preparing an Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2025 (Guidebook) (Department of Water Resources, 2025) conducting workshops, developing tools, and providing program staff to help water suppliers prepare comprehensive and useful water management plans, implement water conservation programs, and understand the requirements of the CWC. Suppliers prepare their own UWMPs and submit them to DWR. DWR then reviews the UWMPs for completeness in addressing the CWC. DWR 204
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 1-3
submits a report to the Legislature summarizing the status of the UWMPs for each five-year cycle. The Guidebook was used to complete this 2025 UWMP.

The purpose of this UWMP is for Chino to evaluate long-term resource planning and establish management measures to ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future demands. The UWMP provides a framework to help water suppliers maintain efficient use of urban water supplies, promote conservation programs and policies, ensure that sufficient water supplies are available for future beneficial use, and provide a response mechanism during drought conditions or other water supply shortages.

The UWMP is a valuable planning tool used for multiple purposes, including:
• Providing a standardized methodology for water utilities to assess their water resource needs and availability.
• Serving as a resource to the community and other interested parties regarding water supply and demand, conservation, and other water-related information. • Providing a key source of information for cities and counties when considering approval of proposed new developments and preparing regional long-range planning documents, such as city and county General Plans.
• Informing other regional and Statewide water planning efforts, such as Integrated Regional Water Management Plans and the California Water Plan.

1.2 UWMP Organization and Lay Description
The 2025 UWMP is organized as follows:

Section 1 – Introduction
This section provides background information on the UWMP process, new regulatory requirements, and an overview of the information covered throughout the remaining sections.

The 2025 UWMP incorporates the DWR water use and supply tables (standardized tables) for the reporting and submittal of UWMP data. These tables are included within the respective sections of the 2025 UWMP and in Appendix A. Chino’s coordination efforts with other planning agencies, eligibility to receive grants and loans administered by the State of California, and demonstration of consistency with the Delta Plan are discussed.

Section 2 – Plan Preparation
This section provides information on the processes used to develop the UWMP, including coordination and outreach efforts and the steps taken to prepare Chino’s 2025 UWMP, hold a public hearing, adopt, submit, and implement the 2025 UWMP. The UWMP is prepared as an individual plan to provide Chino-specific information, with all data presented on a fiscal year (FY) basis (July 1 through June 30) and water quantities reported in acre-feet (AF) or acre-feet per year (AFY). The UWMP also describes Chino’s coordination and outreach with wholesale and retail agencies and the community, as well as its notification process to the cities and county it serves.
205
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 1-4
Section 3 – System Description
This section describes the City’s water system, service area, population demographics, local climate, and land uses. Chino is located in the southwestern part of San Bernardino County, neighboring cities such as Ontario, Montclair, Chino Hills, and Eastvale. The City serves a majority of its boundary, excluding some areas served by Monte Vista Water District and the City of Chino Hills. The City provides water service to an area with a current population of 65,744. Chino is projected to have a population of 114,327 by 2050.

Section 4 – Water Use Characterization
This section describes and quantifies the current and projected water uses through 2050 within the water service area. Chino serves potable water to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII), landscape, and agricultural customers. In 2025, the City served a total of 15,324 AFY. The City’s water loss within the system is discussed. Chino has submitted all required water loss audits to the state for the past 5 years. Projected water use in 2050 will reach about 17,500 AFY using an approach that will reach State-mandated Urban Water Use Objectives (UWUO). Projected water use will steadily increase for the next 25 years.

Section 5 – SBX7-7 Compliance & Future Water Use Efficiency Requirements This section describes water use targets and baselines pursuant to the SBX7-7 Water Conservation Act of 2009. SBX7-7 required all water suppliers to increase water use efficiency to decrease per-capita water consumption by 20 percent by the year 2020. The City met its targeted reduction of 189 gallons per capita per day (GPCD). In 2025, the City had a GPCD of 143.

New water use efficiency standards from the “Making Conservation a California Way of life Regulation” (CWOL Regulation) supersede SBX7-7 standards. The demand projections in this UWMP are based on the City meeting its estimated future UWUO, as described in Section

4.2.5. Section 6 – Water Supply Characterization
This section describes and quantifies the current and projected potable and non-potable water supplies, including recycled water. The City’s supply portfolio consists of groundwater from the Chino Basin, purchased groundwater from Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA), imported water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) (through Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA)) which is treated by Water Facilities Authority (WFA), and recycled water purchased from IEUA. In 2025, the City supplied a total of 18,832 AFY. The City is projected to supply a total of 21,811 AFY in 2050.

Section 7 – Water Service Reliability
This section describes the water service reliability through 2050 and includes the Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) for the next five years. Chino does not anticipate any supply shortages within the next five years, as shown in the DRA. Chino’s imported and groundwater supply is fixed to meet cleanup goals and is considered reliable under normal, single dry, and five 206
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 1-5 con
secutive dry years scenarios through 2050. The City expects to meet demands under all water year scenarios.

Section 8 – Water Shortage Contingency Plan
This section summarizes the standalone WSCP. The WSCP details procedures for handling potential shortages affecting member agencies. The plan features annual water supply and demand assessments, six water shortage stages with corresponding response actions, and coordination among member agencies. It also includes emergency response plans and seismic risk assessments for catastrophic events. This section includes an overview of the standalone WSCP.

Section 9 – Demand Management Measures
This section describes Chino’s efforts to promote conservation and reduce water demand, including discussions of specific demand management measures. The City is committed to implementing water conservation programs. Some of these initiatives include public education and outreach programs, rebate programs, and water rate structure tiered to promote water conservation.

Section 10 – Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation This chapter summarizes the various requirements to adopt and submit a UWMP and WSCP.

Details on public hearing dates, notification letters to local agencies, and how to submit or amend a plan are discussed. The 2025 UWMP and WSCP were made available for public review on May 18, 2026, with a public hearing held on June 2, 2026. CDA adopted the UWMP and WSCP and submitted them to DWR and the California State Library within 30 days of adoption. Notifications were sent to cities, counties, and relevant agencies at least 60 days prior to the public hearing. The plan is available online and at Chino’s headquarters for public inspection. Procedures for amending the UWMP or WSCP involve public hearings, board adoption, and timely submissions to state and local entities.

1.3 UWMPs in Relation to Other Efforts
The City’s 2025 UWMP was prepared in coordination with planning agencies as described in Section 2.3. In addition to the 2025 UWMP, Chino is involved in several internal and external planning efforts. Chino collaborates with a variety of stakeholders to achieve consistency between various planning documents locally and regionally. The City is a member agency of various wholesale agencies including CDA, IEUA, and WFA, which have each prepared 2025 UWMPs that are incorporated in the City’s 2025 UWMP by reference. In addition, the City provided its 2025 UWMP to CDA, IEUA, and WFA, which includes water use projections in five- year increments for a normal year, a single dry year, and a five consecutive year drought over the next 25 years.

1.4 UWMPs and Grant or Loan Eligibility
For a water supplier to be eligible for a grant or loan administered by DWR, the supplier must have a current UWMP on file that meets the requirements set forth by the CWC. A current UWMP must also be maintained by the supplier throughout the term of any grants or loans received. Chino has prepared the 2025 UWMP under guidance from DWR’s 2025 UWMP Guidebook to meet eligibility requirements for grants and loans administered by the State and/or DWR.

1.5 Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan
for Participants in Covered Actions
Chino’s contributions to reduced reliance on the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta and improved regional water self-reliance are reflected in the regional analysis prepared by the IEUA, presented in Appendix C of IEUA’s 2025 UWMP. That analysis evaluates the collective investments and actions of IEUA and its customer agencies, including Chino, and documents measurable progress toward increased regional self-reliance and reduced dependence on Delta supplies at the regional scale.

Consistent with DWR guidance, regional coordination and reliance on wholesale and regional planning documents are appropriate where data are developed at a broader service area or where individual supplier contributions cannot be discretely quantified. Due to the integrated nature of regional water supply systems and the infeasibility of attributing Delta reliance reductions at the individual retail agency level, IEUA’s regional analysis provides the appropriate basis for demonstrating consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1.

Accordingly, Chino incorporates the IEUA regional reduced reliance analysis by reference into this UWMP. Chino’s implementation of locally cost-effective and technically feasible demand management measures and supply programs, as described in this UWMP, contributes to the regional outcomes documented by IEUA and supports ongoing progress toward improved regional self-reliance and reduced reliance on Delta supplies. 208

2.1 Basis for Preparing a Plan
As mentioned in Section 1.1, the CWC requires Chino’s 2025 UWMP to be submitted to DWR by July 1, 2026. Chino is an “urban water supplier” pursuant to Section 10617 of the CWC. In 2025, the City’s key water supply metrics in its service area were as follows:
• Served a population of approximately 95,744 people.
• Supplied approximately 15,324 AFY to its customers.
• Maintained 23,420 metered connections.

Chino operates a Public Water Systems (PWS) which is regulated by the State Water Board.

Table 2-1 provides the public water system number, the number of municipal connections, and the volume of water supplied in 2025.

2.3.2 Coordination with Other Agencies and the Community The City is a retail water supplier that serves customers in the City of Chino and a small portion of the City of Ontario, as well as unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, and portions of a California State correctional facility located within the City’s municipal boundaries. The City is required to coordinate the preparation of the UWMP with appropriate agencies in the area, including appropriate water suppliers that share a common source. Therefore, the City coordinated the preparation of its 2025 UWMP with the Cities of Chino Hills and Ontario, the County of San Bernardino, CDA, Chino Basin Water Conservation District (CBWCD), IEUA, Monte Vista Water District, Chino Basin Watermaster, WFA, and the California Institute for Men.

Per Government Code 6066, the public hearing was noticed in the Chino Champion newspaper on May 2026. The hearing notice is attached as Appendix C. The public hearing was held on June 2, 2026, at the City Council meeting prior to the UWMP and WSCP adoption. In addition, Chino maintained a copy of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP in its office and at http://www.cityofchino.org prior to the public hearing.

The Final 2025 UWMP and WSCP were formally adopted by the City Council on June 2, 2026.

A copy of the Adoption Resolution is included in Appendix D. A hard copy of Chino’s Final 2025 UWMP and WSCP were sent to the California State Library, DWR (electronically using the WUE data reporting tool), and all cities and counties within Chino’s service area within 30 days of adoption. To fulfill the requirements of CWC Section 10642 of the UWMP Act, Chino made the Final 2025 UWMP available online (https://www.cityofchino.org), and at Chino’s public office during normal business hours for public review within 30 days of adoption.

Should Chino need to amend the adopted 2025 UWMP or WSCP in the future, Chino will hold a public hearing for review of the proposed amendments to the document. Chino will send a 60- day notification letter to all cities and counties within Chino’s service area and notify the public.

Notification to the public with be published twice in the newspaper, the first notice being a minimum of two weeks prior to the public hearing. Once the amended document is adopted, a copy finalized version will be sent to the California State Library, DWR (electronically using the WUE data reporting tool), and all cities and counties within Chino’s service area within 30 days of adoption. The finalized version will also be made available to the public both online at http://www.cityofchino.org and in person at Chino’s public office during normal business hours.

2.3.3 Notice to Cities and Counties
CWC Section 10621 requires that suppliers notify cities and counties to which they serve water that the UWMP and WSCP are being updated. Notices should be provided at least 60 days prior to a public hearing. To fulfill this requirement, the City sent letters of notification of preparation of the 2025 UWMP and 2025 WSCP to all cities and counties within Chino’s service area 60 days prior to the public hearing. Copies of letters are included in Appendix B.

3.1 General Description
The City of Chino was officially incorporated in 1910. The City provides water service to a majority of residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and landscape customers within the City of Chino, located in the southwestern portion of San Bernardino County, approximately 30 miles easterly of downtown Los Angeles. The City is bounded by the Cities of Montclair and Ontario to the north; Chino Hills to the south and west; Ontario and Eastvale to the east; and Pomona to the west. The City’s water service area encompasses an area of approximately 28.3 square miles. The location of the City’s water service area is provided in Figure 3-1.

The City has a five-member City Council. The Mayor is elected at-large and Council Members are elected by geographically defined districts, each for four-year terms. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council. Other City managerial positions are filled by the City Manager.

The Director of Public Works is responsible for the operation and management of the City's water system.

The demand within the City’s service area is met primarily from groundwater produced from City-owned wells in the Chino Basin and from CDA. The City also purchases imported surface water from MWD through IEUA which is treated by WFA. Recycled water is also provided by IEUA.

The existing potable water system consists of distribution system pipelines, storage reservoirs, booster pump stations, groundwater wells, imported water connections, inter-agency connections, permitted water treatment facilities, and pressure regulating stations.

3.2 Service Area Boundary Maps
The location of the City’s water service area is provided in Figure 3-1.

The City provides water services to all residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and landscape customers within the City of Chino, except for the following areas:
• Portions of northwest City of Chino served by Monte Vista Water District • Portions of the City served by the City of Chino Hills

3.3 Service Area Climate
The City’s service area climate is a mediterranean environment with a semi-arid environment with mild winters, warm summers, and moderate rainfall. Historical climate information was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and from DWR’s California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) Station 255 Chino collected from January 1998 through July 2025. On average, the annual total precipitation is 11.29 inches, with most of the precipitation occurring between December and March. Records show that the monthly average precipitation ranges from 0.02 inches in June to 2.87 inches in February. The annual average total evapotranspiration (ETo) is 49.97 inches. The highest ETo is experienced between April and September, with the peak occurring in July. The City’s monthly high temperature ranges from about 66.4 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in December to 94.4 °F in August, with an average annual temperature of 66.5°F. Table 3-1 shows the average monthly climate data.

Figure 3-2 shows the annual precipitation from 1999 through 2025 and illustrates which years fall above or below the annual average precipitation for this period. Some years do not have data provided. As shown by this figure, 2018 was the driest year since, making water management more critical to ensure communities are prepared for the next drought.

2020 Census data was used to determine Chino’s 2020 service area population. 2020 population data was then used in conjunction with the service area’s number of connections in 2020 to calculate a ‘persons-per-connection’ (PPC) factor of 4.1. This factor was then applied to the number of connections provided for 2025 to estimate the current population as of 2025.

Annual growth rates for 2019-2050 were calculated from SCAG growth units in Table 3-2.

Annual growth rates were applied to 2025 population to estimate 2030-2050 populations for the service area as shown in Table 3-3.

3.5 Land Uses within Service Area
The City reviewed the current and projected land uses within its service area during the preparation of this 2025 UWMP. Information regarding current and projected land uses is included in the City’s 2021 Water Master Plan. The City is primarily residential in the north with industrial and warehouses in the south. The existing land uses within the City’s service area include residential (single-family and multi-family), commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural, and open space. The projected land uses within the City’s service area are expected to remain similar to the existing land uses. Areas within the City’s service area continue to be developed. As a result, population within the City’s service area is anticipated to increase (as discussed in Section 3.4).

A discussion of the existing and projected water uses for the individual water use sectors within the City’s service area, which includes the different land uses, is provided in Section 4.2.1. As discussed in Section 2.3, the City coordinated the preparation of the 2025 UWMP with the Cities of Chino Hills and Ontario, the County of San Bernardino, and other agencies. 219

4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use
Chapter 4 addresses the City’s potable water demands. Recycled water demands are addressed separately in Section 6.3.2.1 and a summary is provided in Table 6-4. Raw water is not served by the City and is not applicable.

4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Use by Sector
Chino provides potable water to its customers as described in further detail in the following sections.

4.2.1 Water Use Sectors Listed in Water Code
Water suppliers are required to identify water uses to the extent that records are available for each of the applicable water use sectors identified in CWC 10631(d). The City primarily serves potable water to customers, though it does supply a small amount of recycled water. Recycled water uses are described in Section 6.3.2.

The City serves the following water uses:
• Single Family: Single-family residential customers are typically on a lot with a free- standing building containing one dwelling unit that may include a detached secondary dwelling.
• Multi-Family: Multi-family residential customers are typically multiple dwelling units within one building or several buildings within one complex. • Commercial: Commercial customers typically provide or distribute a product or service. • Industrial: Industrial customers typically manufacture or process materials. • Landscape: The City tracks the water use for landscape irrigation. • Agricultural: The City tracks the water use for agricultural irrigation. • Other: The City has accounts for other uses, which include hydrant accounts. • Distribution System Water Losses: Distribution system water losses are the water losses from the point of water entry to the distribution system to the delivery point to the customer’s system. Water losses are discussed in Section 4.2.3.

4.2.2 Past Water Use
Chino’s actual water use by customer class from 2021-2025 is shown in Table 4-1. Historical demand trends have been considered as part of projected water use in Section 4.2.5 and water service reliability in Section 7.

4.2.3 Distribution System Water Losses
Distribution system water losses are the physical potable water losses from the point of water entry to the distribution system to the point of delivery to the customer’s system. Water loss can result from aging infrastructure, leaks, seepage, theft, metering inaccuracies, data handling errors, and other causes. Addressing water losses can increase water supplies and recover revenue. The City monitors its water loss and prepares an annual American Water Works Association (AWWA) Water Audit to estimate the volume of water loss. The City has submitted all required water loss audits to the State, as shown in Table 4-2. 223

CWC Section 10608.34 required the State Water Board to develop water loss performance standards for urban retail water suppliers to minimize water waste through system leaks. Water loss performance standards were developed through a rulemaking that became effective in 2023. Under the regulations, each supplier will be required to comply, by 2028, with an individualized volumetric water loss standard based on real loss, using the economic model developed by the State Water Board and the supplier’s own unique data. Real loss is the physical loss of water from water distribution systems, as opposed to apparent losses, which are revenue losses due to meter inaccuracies, billing errors, or unauthorized consumption. A supplier’s baseline water loss is calculated as the average water loss from at least three of the four water loss audits from 2017 – 2020. The real water loss performance standard is based on gallons per service connection per day (gpscd), or gallons per mile of pipe per day (gpmd), depending on how the supplier reports real loss. Post-2028 compliance with volumetric water loss standards will be assessed every three years based on the average of the supplier’s real loss from the preceding three years, with an allowed variation of 5 gpscd above the supplier’s water loss standard. Apparent loss standards are equal to the baseline apparent loss and compliance is evaluated at the same time as compliance with the Real Water Loss Performance Standard.

Although the compliance period has not yet started, CWC Section 10631 (d)(3)(C) requires water suppliers to provide data in the UWMP to show whether the supplier met its State Water Board water loss performance standard.

Based on data released by the State on January 30, 2026, the City’s baseline real water loss is

43.7 gpscd and the real water loss standard is 19.0 gpscd, and the apparent loss standard is the baseline of 8.5 gpscd. As shown in Table 4-3, based on the most recent water loss audit 224
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 4-5
from 2024, the City has not yet met the real water loss performance standard, but is working toward that goal by 2028. Section 9 discusses the City’s programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss.

4.2.5 Projected Water Use
The “Making Conservation a California Way of Life” Regulation (CWOL Regulation) establishes unique water budget-based Urban Water Use Objectives (UWUO) for each urban retail water supplier in the State. The CWOL Regulation requires suppliers to calculate an annual UWUO consisting of these core components:

UWUO = Residential Indoor Water Use Budget + Residential Outdoor Water Use Budget + Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) Dedicated Irrigation Meters (DIM) Outdoor Water Use Budget + Real Water Loss Budget.

Each component has associated water efficiency standards that become increasingly stringent through 2040 as shown in Table 4-5. The key standards are residential indoor GPCD, Landscape Efficiency Factors (LEF), and real water loss measured in gpscd. Annually updated supplier-specific input data is also required for population, climate, landscapes, and real water losses. The UWUO does not include some uses, such as CII indoor use or other uses that are considered “Excluded Demands.”

Note: 1 Budget = City standard for real water loss (gallons per service connection per day) applied to total service connections.

DWR and the State Water Board have developed an annual reporting framework, tools, and guidance for calculating the UWUO and comparing it to the actual use for that year. The State Water Board’s “Water Use Objective Exploration Tool” allows users to enter varying efficiency standards and baseline year(s) of input data to calculate and visualize a comparison of historic demand to the UWUO with selected standards. The State Water Board’s “Annual UWUO and Water Use Report” tool pre-populates input data and standards for the given reporting year. To 226
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 4-7
project demands for this UWMP, a demand tool that aligns with the framework, data, and calculations of the State Water Board’s tools was used and expanded to allow for forecasting future years’ demand considering future efficiency standards, supplier input data, and growth assumptions.

Supplier input data and growth assumptions used in this UWMP for future years are shown in Table 4-6. Projected growth for residential indoor usage is associated with population projections described in Section 3.4. Residential landscape area growth is associated with the historic connections growth rate. The historic landscape area provided by the State in its UWUO tools was divided by the 2025 residential service connections to create a landscape area per connection factor that was applied to future connections to account for growth. CII DIM Landscape connections were assumed to scale with the historic connections growth rate.

Excluded demand growth was assumed to scale with the ratio of historic Excluded Demand to the UWUO applied to future UWUO estimates. The real water loss standard is applied to the sum of all projected future connections.

While the City intends to meet the UWUO, it was also considered that demands may continue in alignment with historic patterns initially and take more time to reach direct alignment with the UWUO. Therefore, demands used for the purposes of supply reliability planning are assumed to trend from a historic baseline pattern downward to the UWUO by 2050.

A historic baseline demand per connection per customer type is used to approximate current “normal” demand patterns representative of a range of conditions for influential factors impacting demand, known as “demand drivers.” A key demand driver is rainfall. Ideal baseline years incorporate impacts of dry and wet years since demand typically fluctuates with rainfall due to the need for more irrigation in dry years and less in wet years. For this UWMP, a baseline period of 2021-2025 is used, which captures one average year, two wet years, and two dry years. Using demands in these years, a baseline water use was established for each connection type, then reduced at a constant rate to meet the UWUO water use for that connection type by 2050.

Figure 4-2 shows the UWUO and the baseline trend to the UWUO projection scenario and Table 4-8 presents the projected demand by customer type through 2050 for this UWMP. 229

since they account for water efficiency standards set by the State for the UWUO. The City is complying with and planning for UWUO standards as described in Sections 5 and 9.

4.3 Water Use for Lower-Income Households
Senate Bill 1087 requires that water use projections in a UWMP include projected water use associated with single-family and multi-family residential housing for lower-income households, as identified in the housing elements of any city, county, or city or county within the City’s service area. The RHNA establishes housing needs for each jurisdiction over the applicable planning period. SCAG adopted the 6th Cycle RHNA Allocation Plan, which covers the planning period from October 2021 through October 2029 (Southern California Association of Governments, 2021) SCAG’s population and household projections inform the RHNA Allocation Plan and are used in the determination and allocation of housing needs, including lower-income housing, for individual jurisdictions. The population projections in this UWMP are based on SCAG projections for the service area and therefore also incorporate the lower-income housing projections. The projected demands in this UWMP represent water use from all future growth and are inclusive of water use for lower income households.

Table 4-9- Inclusion in Water Use Projections
Are Future Water Savings Included in
Projections? Yes
Are Lower Income Residential Demands
Included in Projections? Yes

4.4 Climate Change Considerations
Future demand and use of supply sources may be affected by climate change. “Projections of climate change in California indicate a further intensification of wet and dry extremes and shifting temperatures that can…affect both water use and supplies. Extreme and higher temperatures can lead to increases in water use…Projections of more frequent, severe, and prolonged droughts could lead to not only less surface water available but also exacerbating ongoing stressors in groundwater basins across the state” (State of California Department of Water Resources, 2021).

Higher temperatures decrease the amount of water available for groundwater recharge and for surface water sources while increasing water use, especially for outdoor use. Reductions in future supply due to impacts associated with climate change were considered as part of the projected supply discussed in Section 6 and Section 7. Impacts to future water use patterns due to climate change factors were considered as part of the demand projections provided in Section 4.

5 SBX7-7 Compliance & Future
Water Use Efficiency Requirements

This section describes compliance with the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as Senate Bill 7 of Special Extended Session 7 (SBX7 -7). The section demonstrates compliance with the 2020 SBX7 -7 target and discusses future water use efficiency require ments.

5.1 Compliance and Future Water Use Efficiency
Requirements
SBX7-7 was incorporated into the UWMP Act in 2009 and required that all water suppliers increase water use efficiency with the overall goal to decrease per-capita water consumption within the state by 20 percent by the year 2020.

SBX7-7 required DWR to develop certain criteria, methods, and standard reporting forms through a public process that water suppliers could use to establish their baseline water use and determine their water conservation targets. SBX7-7 and DWR's Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use (State of California Department of Water Resources, 2021) specify methodologies for determining the baseline water demand, 2015 interim urban water use target, and the 2020 urban water use target for the City as described in the 2020 UWMP. This section also demonstrates that the City achieved its 2020 water use target.

Table 5-1 below establishes the City’s 2020 actual and 2020 target GPCD. As shown, the City met its 2020 target. Most recently, in 2025, the water use was 143 GPCD, which is well below the 2020 target of 189 GPCD.

Table 5-1- SBX7-7 2020 Target Progress
2020 Target Actual 2020 GPCD Did Supplier Achieve Targeted Reduction for 2020?
189 169 Yes

New water use efficiency standards from the CWOL Regulation supersede SBX7-7 standards.

In 2018, two policy bills were enacted by the California Legislature, Assembly Bill 1668 (AB1668, 2018) and Senate Bill 606 (SB606, 2018), collectively referred to as the “2018 Water Conservation Legislation.” Based on the 2018 Water Conservation Legislation, related legislation, and subsequent adoption of the CWOL Regulation, each urban retail water supplier must comply with its UWUO. DWR and the State Water Board have developed a reporting framework for calculating the UWUO and compliance annually with efficiency standards becoming increasingly stringent through 2040.

The demand projections in this UWMP are based on the City meeting its estimated future UWUO, as described in Section 4.2.5 in order to plan and implement necessary demand management measures (described in Section 9) to support meeting the UWUO. Demand Mitigation Measures and UWUO compliance planning enhance resiliency for drought and other water shortage conditions as described in Sections 7, 8, and 9. 234

6.1 Potable Water Supply Sources
The City currently produces groundwater from the Chino Basin. The City’s share of the Operating Safe Yield is 7.357 percent (Watermaster, November 21, 2024). Over the past ten years, the City has produced an average of 5,446 AFY from the Chino Basin, meeting the remainder of demands with purchased water. Table 6-1 shows production for the last five years.

The City’s production in 2025 and projected production from the Chino Basin, over the next 25 years in five-year increments, is provided in Table 6-9.

6.1.1.1 Description
The Chino Basin is located within the Upper Santa Ana Valley within San Bernardino County and is bounded on the east by the Rialto-Colton fault; on the southeast by the contact with impermeable rocks forming the Jurupa Mountains; on the south by impermeable rocks of the Puente Hills and by the Chino fault; on the northwest by the San Jose fault; and on the north by the impermeable rocks of the San Gabriel Mountains and by the Cucamonga fault. The location of the Chino Basin is provided in Figure 6-1. The surface area of the Chino Basin is approximately 154,000 acres (or 240 square miles). The San Antonio Creek and Cucamonga Creek drain the Chino Basin area southward and flow into the Santa Ana River. Pursuant to DWR Bulletin 118 (for Basin Number 8-2.01), the Chino Basin is a subbasin of the Upper Santa Ana Valley Groundwater Basin and has a total storage capacity of approximately 5,000,000 AF.

The water-bearing units in the Chino Basin include Holocene and Upper Pleistocene alluvium.

This Holocene alluvium consists mainly of alluvial-fan deposits, with maximum thickness of 150 feet that are most coarse in and near the mouths of the canyons and are finer away from canyon mouths in the southern part of the Chino Basin. The Pleistocene alluvium is exposed mainly in the northern part of the subbasin and supplies most of the water to wells located within the Chino Basin. The Pleistocene alluvium is about 600 to 700 feet thick throughout most of the Chino Basin. The alluvium contains interfingering finer, alluvial-fan deposits and coarser, fluvial deposits.

6.1.1.2 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
Pursuant to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA), the Chino Basin was named as an adjudicated groundwater basin and is exempt from the requirements of developing a groundwater sustainability plan and subsequently was designated a very-low- priority basin in DWR’s 2019 SGMA Basin Prioritization report. In compliance with SGMA, the Chino Basin Watermaster submits its Annual Report to DWR.

6.1.1.3 Adjudication
The Chino Basin was adjudicated under the Chino Basin Judgment, entered on January 27, 1978, by the Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino. A link of the Chino Basin Judgment is provided in Appendix F. The Chino Basin Watermaster was created by the Judgment to administer the provisions of the Judgment as an arm of the Court.

The Chino Basin Judgment originally established a Safe Yield for the Chino Basin of 140,000 AFY. The Safe Yield is typically recalculated every 10 years and is defined in the Chino Basin Judgment as “the long-term average annual quantity of ground water (excluding replenishment of stored water but including return flow to the Basin from use of replenishment or stored water) which can be produced from the Chino Basin under conditions of a particular year without causing an undesirable result”. Pursuant to the most recent Safe Yield reset effective in 2020, the Safe Yield for the Chino Basin is currently 131,000 AFY (effective July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2030).

In April 2017, a Court Order regarding the Safe Yield of the Chino Basin (2017 Safe Yield Court Order) was issued, which caused the Safe Yield to be recalculated in 2025. The 2017 Safe Yield Court Order also required changes to the Safe Yield Reset methodology. The methodology was updated in 2022, and the 2025 Safe Yield Reset process began in 2023. The 2025 Safe Yield Reset is not final, so for purposes of this UWMP, the Safe Yield for the Chino Basin is based on the currently effective value of 131,000 AFY. Additional information on the 2025 Safe Yield Reset is available on the Chino Basin Watermaster website (https://www.cbwm.org/pages/syrm/).

The Chino Basin Judgment’s allocation of the Safe Yield includes three separate Pools:

1. Overlying Agricultural Pool (farmers, State of California, and other minimal producers).

2. Overlying Non-Agricultural Pool (businesses and industries).

3. Appropriative Pool (cities, agencies, and other water suppliers, including Ontario).

As of July 2020, the Safe Yield is allocated among these three pools at 82,800 AFY to the Overlying Agricultural Pool, 7,366 AFY to the Overlying Non-Agricultural Pool, and 40,834 AFY to the Appropriative Pool. The portion of the Safe Yield allocated to the Appropriative Pool is called the Operating Safe Yield (OSY).

The City is a member of the Appropriative Pool. Per the Judgment, the City has appropriative rights to 7.357 percent of the OSY. With an OSY of 40,834 AF, the City’s current appropriative right is approximately 3,004 AFY.
238
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-5
Appropriators who are Parties to the Chino Basin Judgment are authorized to produce groundwater in excess of their rights. For any groundwater produced in excess of their rights, Appropriators pay assessments to the Chino Basin Watermaster, which are used to purchase water to replenish the Chino Basin. The Chino Basin Watermaster purchases water from MWD through IEUA and/or Three Valleys Municipal Water District (TVMWD), on behalf of the Parties, to replenish the Chino Basin. Occasionally, Watermaster has purchased water from storage accounts from parties within the Chino Basin.

In addition to the water rights described above, the City has rights to groundwater held in the Chino Basin as described below:

Land Use Conversion
When land is converted from agricultural to urban use, water rights are permanently transferred from the Overlying Agricultural Pool to the Appropriative Pool. As of FY 2024-2025, the City receives 158.440 AFY of pumping rights from land use conversions. Land use conversions assign the increase in Appropriative Pool rights to the party whose sphere of influence includes the converted land, thus the City’s rights come to a total of 9,749.234 AF.

Annual Unused Overlying Agricultural Pool Rights
The Chino Basin Watermaster also reallocates the unused portion of the Chino Basin Safe Yield from the Overlying Agricultural Pool to the Appropriative Pool members’ rights in any year.

These transfers are permanent if agricultural land has been converted to non-agricultural use (described above), or temporary if agricultural pool extractions are less than their share of the Safe Yield. Because these rights are not permanent, they are not included in Chino Basin rights in this UWMP.

Groundwater Storage Accounts
The City has rights to store water in the Chino Basin through the Appropriative Pool. The City holds water in both Excess Carryover accounts and Local Supplemental accounts. As of June 30, 2025, the City has 124,152.2 AF in storage. Storage account mechanisms are described in Section 6.1.1.4.

6.1.1.4 Adjudication

6.1.1.4.1 Chino Basin Optimum Basin Management Program
In 2000, the Chino Basin Watermaster developed the Chino Basin Optimum Basin Management Program (OBMP). The OBMP was developed in a collaborative process that identified the needs of the stakeholders, described the physical state of the basin, defined a set of management goals, identified impediments to these goals, and established a series of actions that would remove these impediments and achieve the management goals. The goals identified in the OBMP included: (1) Enhance Basin Water Supplied; (2) Protect and Enhance Water Quality; (3) Enhance Management of the Basin; and (4) Equitably Finance the OBMP.

The OBMP defines nine Program Elements which were incorporated into the OBMP Implementation Plan as part of the Court-ordered Peace Agreement (2000):
239
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-6
• Program Element 1 - Develop and Implement Comprehensive Monitoring Program. • Program Element 2 - Develop and Implement Comprehensive Recharge Program. • Program Element 3 - Develop and Implement a Water Supply Plan for Impaired Areas. • Program Element 4 - Develop and Implement Comprehensive Groundwater Management Plan for Management Zone 1.
• Program Element 5 - Develop and Implement Regional Supplemental Water Program. • Program Element 6 - Develop and Implement Cooperative Programs with the Regional Board and Other Agencies to Improve Basin.
• Program Element 7 - Develop and Implement Salt Management Plan. • Program Element 8 - Develop and Implement Groundwater Storage Management Program.
• Program Element 9 - Develop and Implement Storage and Recovery Programs.

The “Peace Agreement” (2000) and the “Peace II Agreement” (2007) are agreements among the Parties that allow the implementation of the OBMP and guide the management of the Chino Basin, including the construction and operations of the Desalters, hydraulic control of the Basin, groundwater production and replenishment for the Desalters, yield accounting and recharge.

6.1.1.4.2 Chino Basin Storage Management Plan
The Peace Agreement (2000) establishes rules and regulations, standard storage agreements, and related forms for storage in the Chino Basin. Since 2000, Chino Basin Watermaster administers groundwater storage in the Chino Basin pursuant to the storage management plan described in Program 8 of the 2000 OBMP.

There are five types of storage accounts: Excess Carryover, Local Supplemental-Recycled, Local Supplemental-Imported, Pre-2000 Quantified Supplemental, and Storage and Recovery. • Excess Carryover account – includes a Party’s unproduced rights in the Safe Yield (Safe Yield for Overlying Non-Agricultural Pool Parties and OSY for Appropriative Pool Parties) and Basin Water purchased or transferred from other Parties. • Local Supplemental Water account (recycled and imported)– includes any imported and/or recycled water that is recharged by a producer and similar water acquired from other Parties.
• Pre-2000 Quantified Supplemental Account (same function as Local Supplemental Water Account).
• Storage and Recovery account – holds Supplemental Water (imported or recycled) and is intended to provide a broad and mutual benefit to the Parties of the Judgment.

The City has Excess Carryover and Local Supplemental accounts. The City also participates in the Dry Yield Year (DYY) Program, which is currently the only Storage and Recovery Program in the Chino Basin.
240
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-7

6.1.1.4.3 Dry Year Yield Program
MWD’s Dry-Year Yield Program (DYYP) is the only active Storage and Recovery Program in Chino Basin. This program is a water exchange as discussed in Section 6.5.1.

6.1.1.4.4 Groundwater Clean-up
Groundwater in areas of the Chino Basin is currently contaminated with Perchlorate and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), including 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP), trichloroethylene (TCE), and perchloroethylene (PCE). In addition, nitrates and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations in areas of the Chino Basin exceed drinking water quality standards. Wellhead treatment is necessary in these areas to allow delivery of the groundwater for potable purposes.

6.1.2 Chino Desalter Authority
The City purchases treated Chino Basin groundwater from the Chino Basin Desalter Authority (through the “Amended and Restated Water Purchase Agreement, January 1, 2011” contract between the City and CDA).

The City’s current contract entitlement is 5,000 AFY. Over the past ten years, the City has purchased an average of 4,967 AFY from CDA.

The City’s purchases in 2025 and projected purchases from CDA over the next 25 years, in five- year increments, are provided in Table 6-9.

6.1.2.1 Agreement
On September 25, 2001, the Chino Basin Desalter Authority was formed under a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) to remove salts from brackish groundwater extracted from the lower Chino Basin. The area which receives water supplies from CDA is 304 square miles. A map showing CDA Desalter facilities and associated wells is provided in Figure 6-2.

CDA removes salts from brackish groundwater extracted from the lower Chino Basin through the Chino I and II Desalter facilities. The Chino I Desalter is located in the City of Chino and commenced operation in 2001 and was expanded in 2005 to have a total capacity of 14.2 million gallons per day (MGD). The Chino I Desalter includes reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and air stripper treatment for treating brackish water and removing nitrate and VOCs. The Chino II Desalter is located in Jurupa Valley and began operation in 2006 and was expanded in 2011 and again in 2017 to have a total capacity of 33 MGD. The Chino II Desalter includes reverse osmosis and ion exchange treatment for treating brackish water and removing nitrate. Following the expansion, CDA constructed the Concentrate Reduction Facility in 2017, which utilizes chemical softening to remove the limiting foulants (specifically, calcium and silica) from the reverse osmosis concentrate. CDA completed the South Archibald Plume Project in 2021 which included a new well to produce groundwater contaminated with TCE, conveyance to the Chino II Desalter, and air stripping treatment.

City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-9
Services District, Santa Ana River Water Company, and Western Municipal Water District which provide water service within Riverside County and San Bernardino County. The OBMP included a long-term goal to produce 40,000 AF from the Chino Basin annually for the purpose of groundwater cleanup and hydraulic control of contaminant migration into the Santa Ana River, and to prevent loss of beneficial water for use in the basin.

A portion of the production is in-lieu of those CDA member agencies producing an equal amount of groundwater from their own groundwater wells using their individual water rights. An additional portion of the production is temporarily assigned as “controlled overdraft.” Pursuant to the Chino Basin Judgment, a total of 200,000 AF was authorized for controlled overdraft between the period of 1978 through 2017. In 2007, the Peace II Agreement was adopted to establish measures for achieving hydraulic control of the Chino Basin. One of the measures put forth included increasing the authorized controlled overdraft to 600,000 AF. This is a 400,000 AF increase from the original 200,000 AF authorized in the Chino Basin Judgment and is available for utilization until December 31, 2030, per the Peace II Agreement. For the balance of the production, the Chino Basin Watermaster levies an annual Replenishment Assessment to purchase replenishment water to replace that overproduced water. Each of CDA’s member agencies is responsible for paying a Replenishment Assessment for their purchases in excess of their respective water rights allocated to the program.

6.1.3 Water Facilities Authority
The City purchases treated, imported water supplies from WFA. Over the past ten years, the City has purchased an average of 3,902 AFY from WFA. The City’s purchases in 2025 and projected purchases from WFA over the next 25 years, in five-year increments, are provided in Table 6-9.

6.1.3.1 Agreement
The City purchases treated, imported surface water from WFA through the “Second Revised and Restated Installment Purchase Agreement Relating to Water Facilities Authority Water Treatment Plant and Refunding of Outstanding Refunding Certificates of Participation, September 1, 1997” contract between the City and WFA (see Appendix G). On February 19, 1980, WFA was formed under a JPA to acquire and construct facilities to supply and distribute potable water to its member agencies. WFA’s service area is located within Chino Basin’s boundaries in the western portion of San Bernardino County. WFA’s member agencies include the Cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Ontario, Upland, and the Monte Vista Water District. The area which receives water supplies from WFA is approximately 148 square miles.

WFA purchases untreated imported water from MWD of Southern California through Inland Empire Utilities Agency. WFA owns and operates the Agua de Lejos Treatment Plant located in the City of Upland. The Agua de Lejos Treatment Plant is a conventional surface water treatment facility that treats and disinfects imported water supplies. The Agua de Lejos Treatment Plant began operating in 1988 and has a treatment capacity of 81 MGD. The City has rights to 0.5 MGD of the Agua de Lejos supply.

6.1.4 City of Ontario
The City has purchased water supplies from the City of Ontario and the City of Upland through an emergency intertie. Purchases from Ontario and Upland are not a part of the City’s normal supply plan and are not included in the supply projections.

6.1.5 Surface Water
The City does not directly use surface water to meet its water demands.

6.2 Stormwater
The City does not directly use stormwater to meet its water demands.

6.3 Wastewater and Recycled Water

6.3.1 Wastewater Collection, Treatment, and Disposal
Wastewater generated by the City is treated by IEUA. IEUA provides sewage utility services to seven contracting agencies including the Cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Upland, and Cucamonga Valley Water District. Wastewater is collected within the City’s local sewer collection system. The City’s local sewers tie into IEUA’s regional trunk sewers, including 90 miles of regional sewage interceptors. The regional sewer lines deliver wastewater to one or more regional plants owned by IEUA for treatment. IEUA owns and operates five regional water recycling plants:
• Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 1 (RP‐1) has a treatment capacity of 44 MGD. • RP-2 does not have any liquid treatment processes and does not produce any recycled water.
• RP-4 has a treatment capacity of 14 MGD.
• RP-5 has a treatment capacity of 15 MGD.
• Carbon Canyon Water Recycling Facility (CCWRF) has a treatment capacity of approximately 9.5 MGD.

Wastewater is treated through various processes including preliminary screening, grit removal, primary clarification, secondary treatment, tertiary treatment, dechlorinating, solids thickening, anaerobic digestion, and dewatering. With the exception of RP-2, the regional plants can produce tertiary‐treated, Title 22‐quality recycled water.

The locations of IEUA’s regional plants are provided in Figure 6-3 below. Wastewater collected by the City in 2025 is provided in Table 6-2, and wastewater treatment and end uses is provided in Table 6-3.

6.3.2 Recycled Water System
The City’s recycled water supplies are produced by IEUA. Over the past ten years, recycled water demands within the City have averaged approximately 5,238 AFY.

IEUA owns and operates the CCWRF, which is located within the City and produces recycled water serving Chino and other IEUA member agencies. The City purchases recycled water from IEUA and distributes it through its recycled water system to eligible customers.

Recycled water within the City is primarily used for industrial, landscape irrigation, agricultural, and construction purposes. The City began delivering recycled water in FY 1998-1999 and has expanded its recycled water distribution system since development of The Preserve residential community, College Park with new communities, and the conversion of potable water customers to recycled water over time in coordination with IEUA.

6.3.2.1 Recycled Water Demand and Projected Use
The City uses recycled water for industrial, landscape irrigation, agricultural, and construction purposes and continues to expand recycled water service where feasible. Planned expansions include extending service to additional parks, schools, and commercial landscape areas and retrofitting existing irrigation systems to accommodate recycled water.

Projected recycled water deliveries are based on historical use and anticipated system expansions. Table 6-9 presents current and projected recycled water deliveries through the planning horizon.

The recycled water supply projections shown in Table 6-4 are equal to the City’s projected recycled water demand, and IEUA has confirmed that sufficient supply is expected to be available to meet these future direct recycled water demands.

The City’s projected recycled water demands over the next 25 years, in five-year increments, are provided in Table 6-9. Table 6-5 compares the 2020 UWMP projected recycled water use for 2025 to the actual 2025 recycled water use.

6.3.2.2 Actions to Encourage and Optimize Future Recycled Water Use The City plans to continue to increase delivery capacity and expand the recycled water system to serve additional customers. Any additional recycled water supplies that can offset imported water purchases will make projects more viable. Consequently, the economic value of a recycled water system continues to increase. The City is evaluating potential methods, including the viability of making conversion to recycled water mandatory for those customers with non- potable supplies that are in proximity to an existing or planned recycled water pipeline, to expand future recycled water use. These potential methods are tabulated in Table 6-6 but expected increases in recycled water use are unknown at this time.

6.4 Desalinated Water Opportunities
The City purchases desalinated brackish groundwater from CDA as described in Section 0.

Additional production of desalinated brackish groundwater from the Chino Basin is not anticipated since there are no additional regulatory or judicial drivers for desalination outside of the current scope of CDA, and new production from the Chino Basin could be placed where water quality is favorable.

Desalination of ocean water is not practical currently due to distance from the ocean. 250
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-16

6.5 Water Exchanges and Transfers

6.5.1 Exchanges – Dry Year Yield Program
The DYYP is a groundwater storage and recovery program where supplemental water is stored in the Chino Basin during surplus years and recovered in dry years in-lieu of imported water from MWD through IEUA. The DYYP allows maximum use of imported water supplies available during wet years and stored groundwater in the Chino Basin during dry years. The DYYP can store up to 100,000 AF with maximum replenishment of 25,000 AFY and maximum extraction of 33,000 AFY. At the end of FY 2024-2025, there was approximately 64,000 AF within the DYYP account. The agreement that authorized the DYYP will expire in 2028 and is not planned to be extended, so it is anticipated that MWD will recover all its water stored under the DYYP Program by 2028.

When the City is required to extract MWD’s stored water, MWD pays for the operation and maintenance costs, and the City pays MWD (through IEUA) the full-service water rate. The City can use the DYYP facilities to meet its normal water demands during other periods but is responsible for the cost of well operation and maintenance.

The program allows the City to be less reliant upon imported water supplies. The additional groundwater capacity allows the City to increase the percentage of groundwater supply used to meet peak demands.

6.5.2 Transfers
The City may assign, lease, or sell rights to produce Chino Basin Water per the Chino Basin Peace Agreement, but currently has no active transfer programs.

6.5.3 Emergency Interties
The City has emergency interties with other water agencies that provide for short-term emergency water supplies. Emergency interconnections are distribution system interconnections between water agencies for use during critical situations where one system or the other is temporarily unable to provide sufficient potable water to meet its water demands. An emergency interconnection will allow a water system to continue serving water during critical situations such as local water supply shortages as a result of earthquakes, fires, prolonged power outages, and droughts.

The City has emergency interties with neighboring water agencies that may be utilized in the event of an isolated interruption of water supply and would serve to facilitate mutual aid. Such interties are currently between the City’s water system and the water systems owned and operated by the City of Ontario and the City of Upland via WFA. To further increase system reliability, the City may establish additional emergency interties with neighboring water agencies’ systems, either directly or indirectly via WFA and/or CDA. 251
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-17

6.6 Supply from Storage
Supply from storage refers to water that was previously stored and later recovered for use during the reporting year. This category applies only to water recovered from its storage accounts in the Chino Basin, which are part of the agency’s overall Chino Basin groundwater supplies and are included in the groundwater supply description and projections.

To avoid double counting, only water that was placed into storage in a prior year and recovered during the reporting year is reported as supply from storage. If water is placed into storage and then recovered within the same reporting year, it is not reported as supply from storage because it would already be counted under its original source (for example, purchased or imported water).

6.7 Future Water Projects
The City has completed significant groundwater treatment capacity improvements in recent years, including expansion of the Eastside Water Treatment Facility and construction of the State Street Water Treatment Plant. The additional treatment capacity is reflected in the City’s existing baseline groundwater supply and is incorporated into the Chino Basin supply projections presented in this Plan.

Looking forward, the City is planning additional groundwater supply improvements, including the development of new production wells and associated conveyance facilities. Any incremental production capacity associated with these future wells will support long-term system reliability and is incorporated, as applicable, into the groundwater supply projections included in the projections in Table 6-7.

The City’s projected reliable water supplies are described in order of reliability and relative contribution to the overall supply portfolio.

Chino Basin Groundwater is the City’s primary and most reliable water supply. The Basin is adjudicated and groundwater production is not subject to a fixed annual extraction limit. When extractions are above the agency’s rights, it triggers a replenishment obligation (see Section

6.1.1.3). Groundwater is projected to meet the majority of the City’s total water demand and provides operational flexibility to address variability in other supplies.

Purchases from CDA are available to the City pursuant to established agreements that define the City’s share of desalter production. CDA typically produces a fixed amount of water annually, and the City is under a take-or-pay obligation for this supply. CDA is a reliable and constant component of the City’s portfolio, subject to uncommon operational and basin conditions.

Purchases from WFA are typically available in normal years. There is no long-term agreement establishing a fixed entitlement between the City and WFA, and availability is dependent on 255
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-21
MWD’s supply reliability. MWD’s UWMP reinforces that supplies are available for member agencies during normal years. The variability of imported water supplies in dry years is discussed in Section 7.

Recycled water continues to be used to meet non-potable demands and reduces the need for potable supplies, but it represents a smaller percentage of the City’s total water portfolio.

In the event that purchased water supplies from CDA or WFA are reduced or unavailable, the City has the ability to increase groundwater production from the Chino Basin, consistent with replenishment requirements. This structure provides the City with flexibility and supports the conclusion that sufficient supplies are available to meet projected demands throughout the planning horizon.

6.9 Climate Change Effects
Climate change has the possibility of impacting the availability of planned water supplies, particularly during a drought period. Section 0 describes climate change considerations that may affect future demand and supply sources.

Chino’s projected use of imported water incorporates MWD’s UWMP, which considers climate change to determine the future availability of imported water in dry, wet, and normal years.

While climate change is projected to decrease normal year imported water supplies in the future, the MWD UWMP affirms that sufficient imported water supplies are available to meet MWD member agency demands during normal years.

Climate change may impact future local precipitation which may lead to reduced natural recharge of local groundwater basins. Despite this, the Chino Basin is proactively managed to prevent pumpers from needing to reduce supplies. The Chino Basin Watermaster and pumpers participate in the OBMP and participate in and fund recharge efforts, including recycled water, which is resilient to climate change.

Chino has a flexible supply portfolio that includes groundwater, imported water, and recycled water. This diverse water supply portfolio helps the City adapt to different climate change impacts.

6.10 Energy Use
The City has tabulated its energy intensity using readily obtainable energy consumption data obtained from monthly electricity bills from Southern California Edison (SCE) for the whole water system and the corresponding water use data obtained from available water meter readings.

The City has reported the energy intensity associated with the water management processes which occur within its operational control. Because the City does not track individual energy usage for each water management process identified above, the City has estimated the energy intensity using the “total utility approach” (i.e., sum of all water management processes). The total energy consumed was approximately 5,335,320 kilowatt-hours (kWh) during FY 2024- 2025. Although the total energy consumption reported includes electricity usage for general 256
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 6-22
administration (e.g., at City Hall), which is not associated with any water management processes, the general administration energy usage is considered negligible compared to overall water system use and has not been netted out.

The total volume of water entering the potable water system was approximately 15,324 AF during FY 2024-2025 and is consistent with the total volume of water provided in Table 4-1.

The total energy intensity associated with the City’s water management processes is estimated at 348 kWh/AF. The energy intensity data and calculations based on the “total utility approach” are provided in Table 6-10 below.

The City’s water management processes do not include “non-consequential hydropower generation” where the energy generation is not a direct consequence of water delivery (i.e., energy could be generated even if no water was being delivered to water users). In addition, the City’s water management processes do not include any substantial “self-generated energy sources” including solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, co-generation, and diesel generator sources.

7 Water Service Reliability

This section describes water service reliability through 2050. As required by the UWMP Act, the assessment must compare total projected water supply and demands over the next 20 years in five -year increments under normal, single dry water years, and multip le dry water years. This section also includes the drought risk assessment (DRA), which provides a snapshot of the anticipated surplus or deficit if a drought were to occur in the next five years.

IN THIS S ECTIO N
• Water Service Reliability
Assessment
• Drought Risk Assessment
258
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 7-2

7.1 Introduction
Water service reliability is determined based on the security of water supply and water infrastructure. Evaluating the water service reliability is critical for water management as it can help identify potential problems before these happen. Water managers can then take proactive steps to mitigate shortages by encouraging water use efficiency, securing new water supplies, and/or investing in infrastructure.

7.2 Water Service Reliability Assessment
Chino’s 2025 UWMP water service reliability assessment and DRA results indicate that no water shortages are anticipated within the next 25 years under normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years.

7.2.1 Service Reliability - Constraints on Water Sources The City’s sources of supplies consist of groundwater pumped from the Chino Basin; treated groundwater from the Chino Basin produced by CDA; imported surface water from MWD (through IEUA) which is treated by WFA; and recycled water purchased from IEUA as described in Section 6.

Groundwater from Chino Basin has been previously impacted by contamination. However, the City has developed and implemented appropriate treatment which has been approved by the State Water Board. These groundwater supplies are considered reliable from a water quality and quantity standpoint.

Imported water from MWD through IEUA is untreated surface water. Water quality from MWD relating to supply reliability is addressed separately in MWD’s 2025 UMWP.

7.2.2 Service Reliability – Year Type Characterization
In accordance with CWC Section 10635(a), every urban water supplier must provide their expected water service reliability for a normal year, single dry year, and five consecutive dry years for 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, and optionally 2050.

7.2.2.1 Types of Years
DWR defines these years as:
• Normal Year: This condition represents a single year or an averaged range of years that most closely represents the average water supply available. An average was used for this analysis.
• Single Dry Year: The single dry year is recommended to be the year that represents the lowest water supply available.
• Five-Consecutive Year Drought: The driest five-year historical sequence for the supplier, which may be the lowest average water supply available for five years in a row.

259
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 7-3
It is anticipated that future demands and supply will fluctuate from average conditions at the rate they did during historic dry conditions. To determine the percentage of demand fluctuation in dry periods, historic rainfall and production were assessed to determine average and dry years. The percentage differences in production for dry years compared to average are shown in Table 7-1.

7.2.3 Water Service Reliability – Supply and Demand Comparison Results of the water supply and demand analysis for normal, single dry, and five-year consecutive drought are shown in the following sections. Based on reliability analyses in MWD, IEUA, CDA, and WFA UWMPs, and Chino Basin rights and management practices described in Sections 6.1 and 7.2.4, Chino expects to meet demands under all water year scenarios and continues to promote conservation to ensure reliability throughout the future.

7.2.3.1 Water Service Reliability – Normal Year
As described previously, Chino’s supply portfolio will be managed to meet demand as shown in Table 7-2.

7.2.4 Description of Management Tools and Options
As noted in Section 6, the Chino Basin is managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster. During the period of management under the Judgment, significant drought events have occurred. In each drought cycle, the Chino Basin has been managed to maintain water levels. Therefore, based on historical and on-going management practices, the City will be able to rely on the Chino Basin for adequate supply over the next 25 years under single dry years and a five consecutive year drought periods.

While Chino does not anticipate any shortfall during drought periods, the City is committed to supporting the water reliability of the region overall. Some of the management tools and options 262
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 7-6
available to Chino for increasing its water supply and reducing water demand have been described within other sections of this document. These tools and options include prioritizing maximizing the use of local water resources and minimizing the need for imported water due to the vulnerability of MWD imported water to climate change impacts such as changing precipitation patterns. Chino also has a robust water use efficiency program detailed in Section 9 that identifies the most effective water use efficiency measures and partnerships for implementation in the region. Additional tools available to the region include water agency interconnections and mutual aid agreements with other local agencies.

7.3 Drought Risk Assessment
CWC Section 10635 (b) requires a DRA. The DRA provides a quick snapshot of the anticipated surplus or deficit if a five-consecutive year drought were to occur in the next five years. The DRA informs the WSCP and can be modified or updated outside of the UWMP five-year plan cycle, so a description of the data, methodology, and basis for shortage conditions must be included in this 2025 UWMP. The DRA evaluates each water supply’s reliability and compares available water supplies and projected demands during a five-consecutive dry years scenario.

This short-term analysis can help water suppliers foresee undesired risks, such as upcoming shortages, and provide time to evaluate and implement the necessary response actions needed to mitigate shortages in a less impactful manner to the community and environment.

7.3.1 Data, Methods, and Basis for Water Shortage Condition The DRA builds on the water service reliability analysis from Section 7, which incorporated assessment of historical consumption data by customer class, populated from billing records, and historical supply data by source from production reports. Based on this data, historical demand has never exceeded available supply. For this DRA analysis, normal year demand conditions and five-consecutive year drought supply conditions were considered for 2026-2030.

7.3.2 DRA Water Source Reliability
As described previously, Chino does not anticipate any supply shortages within the next five years as shown in Table 7-5.

8.1 Introduction
The California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632 requires that every urban water supplier shall prepare and adopt a standalone WSCP as part of its Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP).

The WSCP is developed independently of Chino’s 2025 UWMP and can be amended, as needed, without amending the UWMP.

The WSCP is a strategic plan that Chino uses to prepare for and respond to foreseeable and unforeseeable water shortages. A water shortage occurs when the water supply available is insufficient to meet the normally expected customer water use at a given point in time. A shortage may occur due to a number of reasons, such as water supply quality changes, climate change, drought, regional power outage, and catastrophic events (e.g., earthquake).

Additionally, the State may declare a statewide drought emergency and mandate that water suppliers reduce demands. The WSCP serves as the operating manual that Chino will use to prevent catastrophic service disruptions through proactive, rather than reactive, mitigation of water shortages.

The WSCP provides a process for an annual water supply and demand assessment and structured steps designed to respond to actual conditions. This level of detailed planning and preparation provides accountability and predictability and will help Chino maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of any supply shortages and/or interruptions.

8.2 Overview of WSCP Components
The CWC establishes several prescriptive elements that must be included in a retail water supplier’s WSCP. Each element and its location within the WSCP is described below.

Water Supply Reliability Analysis: Summarizes Chino’s water supply analysis and reliability and identifies any key issues that may trigger a shortage condition.

Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures: Describes the key data inputs, evaluation criteria, and methodology for assessing the system’s reliability for the coming year and the steps to formally declare any water shortage levels and response actions.

Shortage Stages: Establishes water shortage levels to clearly identify and prepare for shortages.

Shortage Response Actions: Describes the response actions that may be implemented or considered for each stage to reduce gaps between supply and demand.

Communication Protocols: Describes communication protocols under each stage to ensure customers, the public, and government agencies are informed of shortage conditions and requirements.

Compliance and Enforcement: Defines compliance and enforcement actions available to administer demand reductions.
266
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-3
Legal Authorities: Lists the legal documents that grant Chino the authority to declare a water shortage and implement and enforce response actions.

Financial Consequences of WSCP Activation: Describes the anticipated financial impact of implementing water shortage stages and identifies mitigation strategies to offset financial burdens.

Monitoring and Reporting: Summarizes the monitoring and reporting techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of shortage response actions and overall WSCP implementation. Results are used to determine if additional shortage response actions should be activated or if efforts are successful and response actions should be reduced.

WSCP Refinement Procedures: Describes the factors that may trigger updates to the WSCP and outlines how to complete an update.

Special Water Feature Distinctions: Identifies exemptions for decorative features aside from pools and spas.

Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability: Describes the process for the WSCP adoption, submittal, and availability after each revision.

The WSCP was prepared in conjunction with Chino’s 2025 UWMP and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed. The document is compliant with the CWC Section 10632 and incorporates guidance from the Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2025 (Guidebook) (Department of Water Resources, 2025).

8.3 Water Supply Reliability Analysis
The City’s sources of supply were discussed in Section 6 of the 2025 UWMP and consist of groundwater from the Chino Basin, purchased groundwater from Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA), imported water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) (through Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA)) which is treated by Water Facilities Authority (WFA), and recycled water purchased from IEUA. The Chino Basin is adjudicated, and groundwater supplies are managed.

The reliability of the various sources of supply is discussed in Section 7 of the City’s UWMP.

Based on the adjudication provisions in the Chino Basin, the City can produce groundwater in excess of its rights, provided the City pays assessments to the Chino Basin Watermaster, which are used to purchase water to replenish the Chino Basin.

Imported water supplies (both treated and untreated) may be impacted in the event MWD implements its Water Supply Allocation Plan (WSAP) due to a water supply shortage.

As documented in Section 7 of the City’s 2025 UWMP, the City’s water supplies are projected to be sufficient to meet planned demands under average and dry year conditions but may be constrained under extended drought or other supply disruption scenarios. These constraints may result from a combination of factors, including but not limited to reduced imported water allocations, declining groundwater availability, regulatory restrictions, or operational limitations. 267
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-4
For purposes of this WSCP, the City has evaluated the conditions under which supply shortfalls may occur and identified objective triggers that reasonably indicate increasing levels of water supply stress as described in Section 8.4.

8.4 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment
Since July 1, 2022, the City has been required to submit an “Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment” (Annual Assessment) in accordance with DWR’s guidance and requirements. The Annual Assessment includes a review of the City’s unconstrained water demands (i.e., water demands prior to any projected response actions the City may trigger under this WSCP) for the current year and the upcoming (potential single dry) year. The City also assesses information regarding anticipated shortages, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions consistent with the City’s WSCP.

For each Annual Assessment, the City plans to prepare a preliminary assessment which evaluates the adequacy of its water supplies for the current and upcoming years. The preliminary assessment will include a review of water supplies for at least a single dry year.

The components of an Annual Assessment consist of the following:
• A written decision-making process.
• Key data inputs and assessment methodology.

8.4.1 Decision Making Process
The City produces groundwater from the Chino Basin as its primary source of water supply and this basin is managed on a Fiscal Year (FY) basis. Consequently, during the third quarter of each FY, the City will review its water demands from the initial six months along with the current groundwater basin conditions and local hydrology. This information will be used to help develop the Annual Assessment. A draft of the Annual Assessment will be circulated internally within the City for peer review and comment. Based on comments received, a redraft will be prepared and provided to the City managers during the Spring of each year. If a new water shortage stage or new shortage response actions are required, a final draft of the Annual Assessment may be provided to City Council for review such that any recommended specific shortage response actions may be enacted. The final Annual Assessment will be provided to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) no later than July 1 of each year.

The Annual Assessments will be instrumental in providing guidance to the City for decisions regarding potential declarations of a water supply shortage and implementation of water reduction stages, instituting mandatory water restrictions, promoting water use efficiency and conservation programs, water rates and drought rate surcharges, and the necessity of pursuing alternative water supplies. This process will help ensure adequate water supply resources are available to the City.
268
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-5

8.4.2 Data Methodologies
The key data inputs and methodologies which will be evaluated by the City during the preparation of the preliminary assessment will include the following:

1. Evaluation Criteria: The locally applicable evaluation criteria used to prepare the Annual Assessment will be identified. The evaluation criteria will include, but is not limited to, an analysis of current local hydrology (including rainfall and groundwater levels), current water demands, a review of water system improvement plans which may impact infrastructure availability, and water quality regulations which may impact groundwater availability.

2. Water Supply: An assessment of each available water supply source will be conducted.

The assessment will include a quantification of each available water supply source based on review of current production capacities, historical production, UWMPs, and prior water supply studies (including Water Supply Assessments and/or Master Plans).

3. Unconstrained Water Demand: The potential unconstrained water demands during the current year and the upcoming (potential single dry) year, prior to any special shortage response actions, will be reviewed. The review will include factors such as weather, existing and projected land uses and populations, actual customer consumption and water use factors, Urban Water Supplier Monthly Reports, existing water shortage levels (see Section 8.5), and existing water conservation ordinances (see Section 9 of the City’s 2025 UWMP).

4. Planned Water Use for Current Year Considering Dry Subsequent Year: The water supplies available to meet the demands during the current year and the upcoming (potential single dry) year will be considered and identified for each source of supply.

The evaluation will include factors such as estimated water demands, weather, groundwater basin operating safe yields, water quality results, existing available pumping capacities, imported water allocations, contractual obligations, regulatory issues, use of emergency interconnections, and the costs associated with producing each water supply source.

5. Infrastructure Considerations: The capabilities of the water distribution system infrastructure to meet the water demands during the current year and the upcoming (potential single dry) year will be considered. Available production capacities (e.g., groundwater well capacities) and water distribution system losses (see Section 4.2.3 of the City’s 2025 UWMP) will be reviewed. In addition, capital improvement and replacement projects, as well as potential projects which may increase water system and production capacities (see Section 6.7 of the City’s 2025 UWMP), will be considered.

6. Other Factors: Additional local considerations, if any, which can affect the availability of water supplies will be described.

8.5 Six Standard Water Shortage Levels
The City will manage water supplies prudently to minimize the adverse impacts of water shortages. The City’s plan for water usage during periods of shortage was designed to 269
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-6
incorporate six standard water shortage levels corresponding to progressive shortage ranges from up to a 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 percent shortage, and greater than a 50 percent shortage.

For each declared water supply shortage level, customers will be required to reduce their consumption by the percentage specified in the corresponding water supply shortage level. The required percentage reduction for each customer will be based on water usage during the same billing period in the last calendar year during which there were no declared water shortages, or as deemed appropriate by the City.

The City’s Ordinance No 2009-04 (“Water Conservation”), adopted in May 2009, and Ordinance No. 2015- 004 (“Additional Conservation Measures”), adopted in June 2015, previously established three (3) water shortage levels. A copy of Ordinance No 2009-04 and Ordinance No. 2015- 004 are linked in Appendix H. In accordance with the CWC, in which urban water suppliers are required to define six standard water shortage levels, the City has developed the crosswalk provided below that translates the City’s previously established shortage levels to the mandated standard shortage levels.

Figure 8-1- Corresponding Relationships Between Supplier's 2015 Shortage Levels and the 2025 WSCP Mandated Shortage Levels

Table 8-1 provides a description of the six water shortage levels and potential shortage response actions which may be triggered by a shortage in one or more of the City’s water supply sources, depending on the severity of the shortage and its anticipated duration.

The City will evaluate water shortage conditions on a case-by-case basis and determine which response actions are appropriate to maintain water supply reliability or mitigate potential impacts. In collaboration with its customers and regional water agencies, the City’s response to potential shortages may include increased public outreach, adjustments to water use efficiency programs, changes to typical operations, or promoting voluntary actions to reduce demands or explore additional supply options.

8.6 Shortage Response Actions
Shortage response actions are dependent on the severity of a declared shortage level.

Response actions implement varying improvements and regulations of system infrastructure and operations, water supply augmentation, demand reduction initiatives, and other water use functions to conserve water supplies.
271
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-8

8.6.1 Demand Reduction
The City has established water shortage response actions to reduce demand on water supplies.

These demand reduction actions include irrigation and other outdoor use restrictions, rate structure changes, and other water use prohibitions. Depending on the percent reduction in the City’s water supply and corresponding water shortage level, regulations have been made to conserve water and reduce the shortage gap in normal supply levels. Many demand reduction actions are applicable to all levels of water shortages while others are exclusive to certain levels of shortage. The structure of demand reduction actions under a specific water shortage level are designed to strongly encourage those customers with high per capita usage to achieve proportionally greater reduction than those with low use. Violations of these demand reduction actions will be considered waste and an unreasonable use of water. Table 8-2 describes each demand reduction action and its effect on reducing the shortage gap.

The following activities are hereby prohibited at all times:
• Allowing irrigation water to run off into a gutter, ditch, drain, driveway, sidewalk, street, onto pavement, or other hard surface.
• Outdoor irrigation of landscape for more than fifteen minutes of watering per day per station. This restriction does not apply to landscapes that utilize drip irrigation systems. • Automated irrigation of landscape during the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Customers are encouraged to avoid the use of sprinklers on windy days. Irrigation by handheld hoses with automatic shutoff nozzles, drip irrigation, or handheld buckets is permitted anytime.
• Outdoor irrigation of landscape on rainy days.
• Washing down hard or paved surfaces, including but not limited to sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking areas, patios, and alleys, except when necessary to alleviate safety or sanitary hazards.
• Excess use, loss, or escape of water through breaks, leaks, or other malfunctions in the plumbing system or distribution system for any period of time after such escape of water should have reasonably been discovered and corrected.
• Washing of automobiles, trucks, trailers, boats, airplanes, and other types of mobile equipment, unless done with a handheld bucket or handheld hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses.
• Restaurants serving water to their customers, except when specifically requested by their customers.
• Operating a decorative water fountain or feature, built or installed after the adoption of this WSCP, that does not include re-circulated water.
• Operating a commercial car wash or laundry, built or installed after the adoption of this WSCP, that does not use re-circulated water.
• Operating a single-pass cooling system built or installed after the adoption of this WSCP. 272
City of Chino

8.6.2 Supply Augmentation
The City does not plan to add a new source of water supply to address customer demands but instead will consider increased supplies from existing sources. Instead, the City will focus on demand reduction measures in the event existing sources of supply are not sufficient to meet customer demands. As discussed in Section 6 of the City’s 2025 UWMP, the City’s sources of water supply include groundwater produced from the Chino Basin, purchased groundwater from CDA, imported water purchased from MWD (through IEUA) which is treated by WFA, and recycled water supplies provided by IEUA. As noted in Section 8.4, since July 1, 2022, the City 276
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-13
prepares and submits an Annual Assessment which will include a review of water supplies available to meet water demands for the current and upcoming years. In the event the City is currently in, or considers entering into, one of the standard water shortage levels identified in Section 8.5, the City will consider the water supply (augmentation) actions described below.

For each water shortage level discussed in Section 8.5, the City will consider supplementing its existing treated imported water supplies through increased production of groundwater supplies, to the extent possible.

As discussed previously, WFA’s and IEUA’s source of water supply is strictly imported surface water from MWD purchased through IEUA and treated at WFA’s treatment facility. WFA does not anticipate augmenting water supplies. IEUA is limited in its ability to implement water supply augmentation actions. IEUA’s supply augmentation actions are described in Table 8-3. MWD’s supply augmentation actions, described in MWD’s WSCP, capture the supply augmentation actions that are relevant to IEUA. To the extent possible, IEUA would coordinate with MWD and its other member agencies on supply augmentation projects during normal and shortage periods to continue expanding water reliability for the entire region.

Due to previous critically dry conditions, MWD developed the WSAP whereby available supplies are equitably allocated to its member agencies, including IEUA. The WSAP establishes ten different shortage levels and a corresponding drought allocation to each member agency.

Based on the shortage level established by MWD, the WSAP provides a reduced drought allocation to a member agency for its retail demand. The ratio of MWD water supply drought allocation to local water supply will change based on the WSAP stage.

In addition to the WSAP, MWD describes supply augmentation actions in its 2025 UWMP, which is incorporated by reference. MWD’s primary first response to any gap between core supplies (from the State Water Project and Colorado River) and demand is to make optimal use of its supply augmentation options, consisting of drawing from flexible supply programs and storage reserves. MWD has developed and actively manages a portfolio of water supply programs including water transfer, storage, and exchange agreements. MWD pursues voluntary water transfer and exchange programs to help mitigate supply/demand imbalances and provide additional dry-year supply sources. In addition, MWD has developed significant storage capacity in reservoirs, conjunctive use, and other groundwater storage programs totaling approximately

6.0 million acre-feet (AF). Pursuant to MWD’s “Emergency Storage Objective,” updated in 2019, 277
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-14
approximately 750,000 AF of total stored water is emergency storage reserved by MWD for use in the event of supply interruptions. Based on MWD’s historical and on-going water supply and storage programs and management practices, the City will use up to the treated imported water supply made available MWD through IEUA in association with each of the standard water shortage levels identified in Section 8.5. City water demands will be addressed through increased use of the local groundwater supplies and implementation of demand reduction measures through various levels of actions.

The City will consider augmenting its existing water supplies through production of additional groundwater from the Chino Basin. As noted in Section 0 of the City’s 2025 UWMP, the Chino Basin is managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster. During the period of management under the Chino Basin Judgment, significant drought events have occurred. In each drought cycle, the Chino Basin has been managed to maintain water levels. Parties to the Chino Basin Judgment, including the City, are authorized to produce groundwater in excess of their rights subject to replenishment requirements. The City has ample production rights and does not anticipate or project that it will need to replenish due to production in excess of its production rights.

Groundwater quality is carefully monitored and managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster.

Treatment facilities and/or blend plans have been developed by water agencies to meet potable water standards and to prevent the spread of any groundwater contamination. Based on historical and ongoing management practices, the City will be able to continue relying on the Chino Basin for adequate supplies in response to each of the standard water shortage levels identified in Section 8.5.

8.6.3 Operational Changes
During a water supply shortage situation, the City will manage its water supply resources to provide sufficient water supplies capable of meeting the demands of its customers. Section

8.6.2 describes the City’s water supply sources and water supply augmentation actions available. Section 8.6.1 describes the City’s standard water shortage levels and associated demand reduction measures. The supply augmentation actions and demand reduction measures, when implemented, may potentially result in short-term operational changes which are necessary to allow the City to utilize all available water supply sources in response to water shortage situations.

As noted in Section 8.4, beginning on July 1, 2022, the City prepares and submits an Annual Assessment which includes a review of the water supplies available to meet water demands for the current and upcoming years. Preparation of the Annual Assessment will assist the City in determining any potential operational changes. In addition, the City’s standard water shortage levels and the associated demand reduction measures, in conjunction with the City’s existing Demand Management Measures (discussed in Section 9 of the City’s 2025 UWMP), will be essential to the City in reducing water demands during any water shortage period. The operational changes the City will consider in addressing non-catastrophic water shortages on a short-term basis include the following:
278
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-15
• Improved monitoring, analysis, and tracking of customer water usage to enforce demand reduction measures.
• Optimized production from existing available water supply sources. • Potential use of emergency supply sources, including emergency interconnections. • Potential blending of water supply resources.
• Improved monitoring, maintenance, and repairs to reduce water distribution system losses.

8.6.4 Additional Mandatory Restrictions
The mandatory restrictions which are implemented by the City to reduce customer demands are discussed in Section 8.6.1. There are no additional mandatory restrictions planned at this time.

8.6.5 Emergency Response Plans
Catastrophic water shortages are incorporated in the City’s standard water shortage levels (identified in Section 8.5) and the associated demand reduction measures (described in Section

8.6.1). In addition to the water supply augmentation actions (Section 8.6.2) and potential operational changes (Section 8.6.3) which the City may consider in order to continue providing sufficient water supplies, the City will review and implement any necessary steps included in its “Emergency Response Plan”.

As part of the “America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018”, community water systems serving a population greater than 3,300 people, including the City, are required to review and update their “Risk and Resilience Assessment” (RRA) and the associated “Emergency Response Plan” (ERP) every five (5) years. However, due to security concerns regarding the submitting of these reports, water systems are required to submit certifications to the United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA), from March 31, 2025, and December 30, 2026, confirming the current RRA and ERP have been reviewed and updated. The City’s RRA certification was due by December 31, 2025, and the ERP certification was due by June 30, 2026.

The City’s RRA evaluates the vulnerabilities, threats, and consequences from potential hazards to the City’s water system. The City prepared its RRA (which is incorporated by reference) by evaluating the following items:
• Natural hazards and malevolent acts (i.e., all hazards). • Resilience of water facility infrastructure (including pipes, physical barriers, water sources and collection, treatment, storage, and distribution facilities, and electronic, computer, and other automated systems).
• Monitoring practices.
• Financial systems (e.g., billing systems).
• Chemical storage and handling.
• Operation and maintenance.

The City’s RRA evaluated a series of potential malevolent acts, natural hazards, and other threats in order to estimate the potential “monetized risks” (i.e., associated economic 279
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-16
consequences to both the water system and surrounding region, and the likelihood of occurrence) associated with the City’s water facility assets. The cost-effectiveness of implementing potential countermeasures to reduce risks was also reviewed.

The City’s ERP provides the management, procedures, and designated actions the City and its employees will implement during emergency situations (including catastrophic water shortages) resulting from natural disasters, system failures, and other unforeseen circumstances. The City’s ERP (which is incorporated by reference) provides the guidelines for evaluating an emergency situation, procedures for activating an emergency response, and details of the different response phases in order to ensure that customers receive a reliable and adequate supply of potable water. The scope of the ERP includes emergencies which directly affect the water system and the ability to maintain safe operations (such as a chlorine release, an earthquake, or a threat of contamination). The ERP also incorporates the results of the City’s RRA and includes the following:
• Strategies and resources to improve resilience, including physical and cybersecurity. • Plans and procedures for responding to a natural hazard or malevolent act. • Actions and equipment to lessen the impact of a natural hazard or malevolent act. • Strategies to detect natural hazards or malevolent act.

The City will review the ERP for procedures regarding the utilization of alternative water supply sources in response to water supply shortages, including during the standard water shortage levels. The City will also review applicable procedures described in the ERP regarding any necessary temporary shutdown of water supply facilities, including appropriate regulatory and public notifications.

8.6.6 Seismic Assessment and Mitigation Plan
The County of San Bernardino prepared a “Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan” which was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 2022. The County’s Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan identified methods to assess significant natural hazards (including earthquakes) affecting areas throughout San Bernardino County, and the mitigation strategies necessary to reduce risks, including seismic risk. The County’s Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is available through the San Bernardino County website (Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan).

The California Geological Survey has published the locations of numerous faults which have been mapped in the Southern California region. Although the San Andreas fault is the most recognized and can produce an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 8 on the Richter scale, some of the lesser-known faults have the potential to cause significant damage. The locations of these earthquake faults in the vicinity of the City’s water service area are provided in Figure 8-2 below. The faults that are in proximity to and could potentially cause significant shaking in the City’s water service area include the San Andreas fault, the Walnut Creek fault, the Whittier fault, the San Jose fault, the Red Hill fault, the Cucamonga fault, the Chino fault, and the Central Avenue fault.

Figure 8-3 provides the relative intensity of ground shaking in the vicinity of the City’s service area from anticipated future earthquakes. The locations of relatively long-period (1.0 second) earthquake shaking, including the City’s service area, are provided. Long-period shaking affects tall, relatively flexible buildings, but also correlates with earthquake damage. The shaking potential is calculated based on the level of ground motion that has a 2 percent chance of being exceeded in 50 years (or the level of ground-shaking with an approximate 2,500-year average repeat time). As discussed in Section 8.6.5, the City has prepared an ERP which provides the management, procedures, and designated actions the City and its employees will implement during emergency situations resulting from natural disasters, including during earthquakes, to ensure that customers receive a reliable and adequate supply of potable water. The City’s ERP is incorporated by reference.

8.6.7 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness
The effectiveness of the shortage response actions for each of the standard water shortage levels identified in Section 8.5 is evident in the City’s historical ability to meet its customer’s water demands in response to a water supply shortage. In addition, the City imposes water consumption regulations and restrictions and supports local agencies in efforts to enforce regulations and prohibitions on water use. The effectiveness of each of the City’s shortage response actions, to reduce any potential gaps between supply and demand, has been quantified in the expected demand reduction provided in Table 8-2.

Section 6 of the 2025 UWMP provides a tabulation of the City’s historical annual water demands for each water supply source. During the past 10 years, the City experienced a five-consecutive year drought within its service area from FY 2011-2012 to FY 2015-2016. Throughout this extended dry year period, the City’s annual water production ranged from 20,025 AF to 25,126 AF, with an average of approximately 23,394 AF. In addition, historical records indicate the City previously produced a maximum of up to 25,126 AF during FY 2012-2013. The City has been able to provide sufficient water supplies to its customers, including during long-term droughts and years with historically high water demands. In addition, the City has been able to provide water service to meet maximum day water demands for these years, including during the summer months.

The City’s water demands during the most recent five years (from FY 2020-2021 to FY 2024- 2025) averaged approximately 19,416 AFY. Due to conservation efforts and demand management measures (discussed in Chapter 9 of the 2025 UWMP), the City’s recent water demands have been significantly less than its historical water demands, including during long- term droughts. The City’s projected water demands (during a normal year, a single dry year, and a five consecutive year drought) are provided in Section 7 of the 2025 UWMP and are anticipated to incorporate similar reductions in water use rates as a result of the shortage response actions, ongoing conservation efforts, and demand management measures. Because the City’s projected water demands are similar to its historical water demands, it is anticipated the City will be able to continue providing sufficient water supplies to its customers to meet projected water demands, including during long-term droughts. In addition, based on historical and ongoing management practices, the City will be able to continue relying on its water supply source from the Chino Basin for adequate supply augmentation in response to each of the standard water shortage levels identified in Section 8.5.

Based on the City’s demonstrated ability to meet water demands during past water supply shortages, the adopted water shortage levels, the adjusted operating safe yields, and water supplies during long-term droughts, it is anticipated that the City will be able to provide sufficient water supplies to its customers during each of its standard water shortage levels. The City will enact varying levels of its WSCP to encourage retail customers to reduce water consumption.

Notwithstanding, the effectiveness of each of the City’s shortage response actions, in order to reduce any potential gaps between supply and demand, has been quantified in the expected demand reduction section provided in Table 8-2. The effectiveness of the City’s shortage 284
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-21
response actions is based on the City’s water demands prior to 2015 (unconstrained demands).

The City reduced its water demands in 2015 in response to the Governor’s April 1, 2015, Executive Order B-29-15 which mandated statewide reduction in water use of 25 percent. The City’s actual water demand reduction during this period was used to estimate the extent of water use reductions for the City’s Water Shortage Stages. The City’s Water Shortage Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are expected to reduce water demands by up to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and greater than 50%, respectively.

8.7 Communication Protocols
Since July 1, 2022, the City is required to submit an Annual Assessment in accordance with DWR’s guidance and requirements. The Annual Assessment will include a review of the City’s unconstrained water demands (i.e., water demands prior to any projected response actions the City may trigger under this WSCP) for the current year and the upcoming (potential single dry) year. The City will also include information regarding anticipated shortages, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions consistent with the City’s WSCP.

When any water shortage level is declared by resolution of the City Council, the specific level called for shall be made by public announcement and shall be published at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation and shall become effective immediately on the date specified in the newspaper publications. If the water shortage requires further intervention, the City will declare a water shortage emergency as specified in Water Code Chapter 3. When any other water shortage level is declared or the drought conditions no longer exist, then publication of the applicable portion of this WSCP, or a statement stating that the drought conditions no longer exist, shall be published an additional two times.

A review board is established to review hardship and special cases which cannot follow the letter of this WSCP. The review board shall consist of any two of the following or their respective designees: Director of Development Services, Director of Finance, or Director of Public Works.

Appeal of any board decision shall be made to the City Manager.

It is the purpose of the review board to review hardship or special cases and to determine whether or not said case warrants an exemption. The decision of the review board shall be prepared in writing, include terms and conditions, if any, set forth findings in support of the decision, and are promptly sent to the applicant. The board shall consider the facts of each case and decide whether to grant an exemption within five (5) working days of the receipt of a properly completed "Application for Exemption from Mandatory Water Restrictions" form. The application must include pertinent information and a written statement from the applicant. An exemption shall be granted for reasons of economic hardship which is defined as, but not limited to, a threat to an individual business's primary source of income (but under no circumstances shall inconvenience or the potential for damage of landscaping be considered an economic hardship which justifies an exemption.) An exemption may also be granted in instances where the water use restrictions cannot be met without threatening public health or safety, or there has been a significant change in the customer's circumstances. No exemption 285
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-22
will be granted to any customer for any reason in the absence of a demonstration that the customer has achieved the maximum practical reduction in water consumption. The board shall authorize only the implementation of equitable water use restrictions which further the purpose and intent of the emergency water conservation plan. The special water use restrictions authorized by the board in each special or hardship case shall be set forth on the face of the exemption.

An exemption to any element of this WSCP granted under any adequate water shortage level shall not be valid upon implementation of any more severe water shortage level of this WSCP.

An exemption expires under its own terms and conditions and/or when the next higher level of the water shortage takes effect. A separate application for exemption must be submitted at each higher water shortage level unless the exemption conditions specifically do not require such separate application.

Any person, corporation, or association who is granted an exemption and makes use of the water utility of the City pursuant to said exemption shall provide proof of said exemption upon demand by any peace officer or person authorized by the City to enforce this WSCP. Upon conviction of any person, corporation, or association for violating any provision of this part, the review board shall revoke any exemption previously granted. However, the board shall notify applicant of the proposed revocation in writing no less than five (5) working days before taking such action, and applicant shall be given the opportunity to be heard by the review board prior to it taking such action.

Persons wishing to appeal the decision of the board shall have the right to appeal to the City Manager. Appeal shall be made in writing within ten (10) working days of the board decision.

The decision of the City Manager shall be final.

8.8 Compliance and Enforcement
It is unlawful for any water customer to fail to comply with any of the provisions of this WSCP.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the City Code, the penalties set forth herein shall be exclusive and not cumulative with any other provisions of this code. Furthermore, any and all violations that occur on any one day shall be treated as one violation for the purposes of determining a penalty. The penalties for failure to comply with the provisions of this WSCP shall be as set out as follows:

1. For the first violation by any customer of any of the provisions of this WSCP, the City shall issue a written notice of the fact of such violation to the customer.

2. For a second violation by any customer of any of the provisions of this WSCP within the same twelve-month period beginning with the first violation, the City shall issue a final written notice of the fact of such violation to the customer.

3. For a third violation by any customer of any of the provisions of this WSCP within the same twelve-month period beginning with the first violation, a surcharge in the amount of fifty dollars shall be added to the customer's water bill. 286
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-23

4. For a fourth violation by any customer of any of the provisions of this WSCP within the same twelve-month period beginning with the first violation, a surcharge in the amount of one hundred dollars shall be added to the customer's water bill that follows the customer's water bill containing the fifty-dollar surcharge for the third violation.

5. For a fifth and any subsequent violation by any customer of any of the provisions of this WSCP within the same twelve-month period beginning with the first violation, a surcharge in the amount of one hundred and fifty dollars shall be added to the customer's water bill that follows the customer's water bill containing the one hundred- dollar surcharge for the fourth violation.

6. After a fifth violation of this WSCP within the same twelve-month period beginning with the first violation, the City may install a flow restricting device of one (1) gallon per minute (GPM) capacity for services up to one and one-half inch size and comparatively sized restrictors for larger services. Such action shall be taken only after a hearing held by the review board where the customer has an opportunity to respond to the City's information or evidence that the customer has repeatedly violated this chapter's rules regarding the conservation of water and that such action is reasonably necessary to assure compliance with this WSCP regarding the conservation of water. Appeal of board decisions shall be made in writing to the City Manager within ten (10) working days of the board hearing. The decision of the City Manager shall be final. Any such restricted service may be restored upon application of the customer made not less than forty-eight (48) hours after the implementation of the action restricting service and only upon a showing by the customer that the customer is ready, willing, and able to comply with the provisions of this WSCP's rules regarding the conservation of water. Prior to any restoration of service, the customer shall pay all City charges for any restriction of service and its restoration as provided for in a separate ordinance.

8.9 Legal Authorities
The City Council shall authorize and direct implementation of the applicable provisions of this WSCP upon determination that such implementation is necessary to protect the public health, welfare, and safety, or when the demand for water consumption threatens to exceed the City's available supply of potable water to the customer.

When any water shortage level of this WSCP is declared by resolution of the City Council, the specific level called for shall be made by public announcement and shall be published at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation and shall become effective immediately on the date specified in the newspaper publications. When any other water shortage level is declared or the drought conditions no longer exist, then publication of the applicable portion of this WSCP, or a statement stating that the drought conditions no longer exist, shall be published an additional two times.

This WSCP shall authorize the City Manager to implement the provisions hereof by monitoring progress of the WSCP. Further, the City Manager may adopt any and all revisions that he 287
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-24
deems necessary to meet the intent of this WSCP. Thereafter, the City Manager may promulgate such revisions by signing and dating them.

The City shall coordinate with any city or county within which it provides water supply services for the possible proclamation of a local emergency. This includes the County of San Bernardino.

8.10 Financial Consequences of WSCP
A primary source of City revenue is user service charges, which consist of charges according to meter size and a volumetric charge per unit of water consumed. As of December 1, 2019, the City implemented water budget-based rates where each customer is given an individual budget based on their own water use. The City’s current water rate structure is tiered to promote water conservation by customers. The water rates have been developed to fund the cost of water and are related to the overall cost of water service. Residential, commercial, and landscape customers are billed on separate inclining block rate structures, with a fixed service charge based on meter size, to encourage water conservation and discourage waste. The rate structures include three tiers. The charges have historically accounted for a large portion of the City’s water sales revenue.

The City has historically maintained a financial reserve in its Water Fund. The City may use financial reserves for water system expenditures to make up for shortfalls in water revenue associated with reduced water sales.

8.11 Monitoring and Reporting
Chino regularly monitors water supply and consumption throughout the service area. During water supply shortages, City staff will monitor overall water consumption on a monthly basis based off the City’s metering and accounting system. Rates of consumption will be assessed in comparison with “normal” unrestricted water use rates based on historical consumption during non-shortage periods. In the event system-wide monitoring indicates water use reduction targets are not met, City staff may perform a more detailed review and comparison against normal water use rates for specific water use categories. Outcomes of the categorical review may include additional targeted outreach/communication to categories that have not achieved the appropriate reduction and/or identification of specific meters/users for additional records review.

Customer compliance with the provisions adopted by declaration of a WSCP are monitored and reported through water loss audits performed by the City. Staff prepare annual Distribution System Water Audits to monitor water losses. Staff review the audits to track real and apparent losses. Losses are monitored by comparing water production to sales. The City regularly monitors its system and repairs leaks in a timely manner. To help in its effort to reduce and eliminate losses, The City has implemented a Meter Replacement and Retrofit Program to install meters with advanced metering infrastructure.
288

2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-25

8.12 WSCP Refinement Procedures
The City’s WSCP has been prepared as an adaptive management plan. As discussed in Section 8.9, the City will monitor and report on the implementation of the WSCP. The City will review the implementation results for any current or potential shortage gaps between water supplies and demands. The City will evaluate the need for revising the WSCP to resolve any shortage gaps, as necessary. The City will consider the following potential revisions in the event of a potential shortage gap:
• Implementation of additional public outreach, education, and communication programs (in addition to the programs discussed in Section 9 of the City’s 2025 UWMP). • Implementation of more stringent water use restrictions under the standard water shortage levels (discussed in Section 8.5).
• Implementation of stricter enforcement actions and penalties (discussed in Section 8.6). • Improvements to the water supply augmentation responses (discussed in Section 8.6.2), as well as any associated operational changes (discussed in Section 8.6.3) which may be required.
• Incorporation of additional actions recommended by City staff or other interested parties.

The City will use the monitoring and reporting data to evaluate the ability for these potential revisions to resolve any shortage gaps which may occur within the standard water shortage levels.

This WSCP is adopted as part of the City’s 2025 UWMP adoption process discussed in Section 10 of the City’s 2025 UWMP. It is anticipated the City will review, revise, and adopt an updated WSCP as part of preparing its 2025 UWMP, as necessary. However, the City will continue to review the monitoring and reporting data, and if needed, update the WSCP more frequently.

Any updates to the City’s WSCP will include a public hearing and adoption process by City Council (see Section 8.14).

8.13 Special Water Feature Distinction
The City’s WSCP defines “decorative water features” as water features which are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, but excluding pools and spas. In general, there are additional health and safety considerations in the water supplied to pools and spas compared to decorative water features. As a result, the City’s WSCP has reviewed the response actions, enforcement actions, and monitoring and reporting programs separately for decorative water features and for pools and spas, as applicable.

8.14 UWMP Adoption, Submittal, and Availability
The City’s WSCP is adopted as part of the City’s 2025 UWMP adoption process discussed in Section 10 of the City’s 2025 UWMP. The process for adopting the City’s WSCP includes the following:
289
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 8-26
• The City will conduct a public hearing and make the WSCP available for public inspection.
• The City will provide notification of the time and place of the public hearing to any city or county in which water is provided.
• The City will publish notice of public hearing in a newspaper once a week, for two successive weeks (with at least five days between publication dates). • The City Council will adopt the 2025 UWMP and the WSCP. • As part of submitting the 2025 UWMP to DWR, the City will also submit the WSCP (electronically through DWR’s online submittal tool) within 30 days of adoption and by July 1, 2026.
• The City will submit a copy of the WSCP to the California State Library and to any city or county in which water is provided within 30 days of adoption. • In addition, the City will make the WSCP available for public review within 30 days of adoption.

If there are any subsequent amendments required, the process for adopting an amended WSCP includes the following:
• The City will conduct a public hearing and make the amended WSCP available for public inspection.
• The City Council will adopt the amended WSCP.
• The City will submit the amended WSCP to DWR (electronically through DWR’s online submittal tool) within 30 days of adoption.

Additional information regarding the adoption, submittal, and availability of the City’s WSCP (and 2025 UWMP) is provided in Section 10 of the City’s 2025 UWMP. 290

• The City’s DMMs include staffing of its water conservation program. • Additional DMMs including rebate, conservation, asset management, and wholesale supplier assistance programs are discussed.
• The City’s DMMs include adoption of ordinances to prevent water waste. • The City’s DMMs include metering of all customer connections, including separate metering for single-family residential, commercial, industrial, large landscape and institutional/governmental facilities.
• The City’s DMMs include conservation pricing. The City’s current water rate structure is tiered to promote water conservation by customers.
• The City’s DMMs include various actions to assess and manage water distribution system losses.

A summary of the DMMs the City has implemented over the past five (5) years is provided. The City met the 2020 Water Use Target (discussed in Section 5) through the implementation of these DMMs.

9.2 Existing Demand Management Measures
The City is committed to implementing water conservation programs. The City also works collaboratively with IEUA to provide water conservation programs for the City’s residents. As a customer agency of IEUA, the City’s residents have the benefit of participating in IEUA’s conservation efforts. The City works closely with IEUA to facilitate the installation of water saving technology and devices and implementation of public outreach and education programs.

Water use efficiency programs are a significant part of IEUA’s Water Resources Program. The following sections describe the City’s implementation of the DMMs required in the UWMP Act.

9.2.1 Water Waste Prevention Ordinances
The City has adopted ordinances in support of water conservation efforts to prevent water waste. Copies of these ordinances are provided in Appendix H.

The City adopted Ordinance No 2009-04 (“Water Conservation Program”) in May 2009, which established regulations to prevent water waste. Ordinance No 2009-04 includes the following restrictions (Municipal Code § Title 13 - WATER, SEWERS AND UTILITIES Chapter 13.04 - WATER, 2025):
292
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 9-3
• Allowing irrigation water to run off into a gutter, ditch, drain, driveway, sidewalk, street, or onto pavement or other hard surface.
• Outdoor irrigation of landscape for more than fifteen minutes of watering per day per station. This restriction does not apply to landscapes that utilize drip irrigation systems. • Automated irrigation of landscape during the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Customers are encouraged to avoid the use of sprinklers on windy days. Irrigation by handheld hoses with automatic shutoff nozzles, drip irrigation, or handheld buckets is permitted anytime.
• Outdoor irrigation of landscape on rainy days.
• Washing down hard or paved surfaces, including but not limited to sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking areas, patios, and alleys, except when necessary to alleviate safety or sanitary hazards.
• Excess use, loss or escape of water through breaks, leaks, or other malfunctions in the plumbing system or distribution system for any period of time after such escape of water should have reasonably been discovered and corrected.
• Washing of automobiles, trucks, trailers, boats, airplanes, and other types of mobile equipment, unless done with a handheld bucket or handheld hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses.
• Restaurants serving water to their customers, except when specifically requested by their customers.
• Operating a decorative water fountain or feature, built or installed after the adoption of this ordinance, that does not include re-circulated water. • Operating a commercial car wash or laundry, built or installed after the adoption of this ordinance, that does not use re-circulated water.
• Operating a single-pass cooling system built or installed after the adoption of this ordinance.

Since then, the City adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2015-004 in June 2015, which established additional regulations and penalties to the Water Conservation Program. Ordinance No 2015- 004 includes the following restrictions:
• Prohibitions on serving drinking water at eating or drinking establishments (unless requested).
• Commercial lodging establishments must provide the option to not launder daily. • Irrigation only on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The City also adopted Ordinance No. 2015-008 in October 2015, pertaining to water efficient landscapes to reduce or eliminate water waste. This ordinance implements DWR’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance as adopted by the California Water Commission. 293
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 9-4

9.2.2 Metering
The City meters all customer connections, including separate metering for single-family residential, commercial, industrial, and landscape customers. The City has implemented a Meter Replacement and Retrofit Program to install meters with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Furthermore, if there is new development within the City, each facility is individually metered. Service charges for the City are based on the customers’ connection size.

Further information regarding the City’s service fees and conservation pricing is provided in Section 9.2.3.

9.2.3 Conservation Pricing
As of December 1, 2019, the City implemented water budget-based rates where each customer is given an individual budget based on their own water use. The City’s current water rate structure is tiered to promote water conservation by customers. The water rates have been developed to fund the cost of water and are related to the overall cost of water service.

Residential, commercial, and landscape customers are billed on separate inclining block rate structures, with a fixed service charge based on meter size, to encourage water conservation and discourage waste. The rate structures include three tiers.

9.2.4 Public Education and Outreach
The City offers public information programs for its customers to promote water conservation.

The City provides marketing and outreach materials to its customers using social media platforms, the City’s website, community outreach events, school education programs, and direct communication to customers regarding their water use. Customers can learn about rebates and additional programs through the City’s website.

The City conducts water conservation school education programs to Chino elementary schools.

Programs include school assemblies, water efficient gardens, and other lesson materials to educate students on the topics of water conservation. The City is also a member of the Water Education Water Awareness Committee (WEWAC) that promotes the education of water issues to local schools. WEWAC hosts digital media and essay contests and provides financial support for lesson plan materials about water issues. The City will continue the school education programs to promote water conservation.

The City provides public information programs to promote and educate customers on water conservation by hosting and participating in City and regional community events, providing bill inserts, and attending community meetings. Events include the Chino Youth Museum Water Exhibit, Earth Day, the City Business Fair, and the Compost and Mulch Giveaway events, Gardening and Landscape training workshops, and the Water Conservation Festival in partnership with CBWCD. All outreach event flyers, rebate information, and general conservation program information are provided at City Hall or on the City’s website. The City will continue these programs to promote water conservation.

9.2.5 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Losses The City has water conservation literature that alerts customers to be on the lookout for water system leaks and to correct them promptly. Customers are encouraged to regularly check their usage on the City’s website. The City is available to assist customers in answering questions regarding system leaks or higher than expected water usage.

The City prepares annual Distribution System Water Audits (discussed in Section 4.2.3) to monitor water losses. City staff review the audits to track real and apparent losses. Losses are monitored by comparing water production to sales. The City regularly monitors its system and repairs leaks in a timely manner. To help in its effort to reduce and eliminate losses, the City uses AMI for accurate consumption data. In areas where a leak is visible, staff are dispatched to a site to pinpoint the leak to minimize the excavation area and save resources.

9.2.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support
Staff from multiple City departments (Public Works, Finance, Development Services) are involved in the implementation of the water conservation program. These include water utility maintenance and operations personnel and administrative staff who coordinate activities, answer billing and usage questions, and respond to public inquiries.

9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures
In addition to the above DMMs, the City implements programs in collaboration with regional partners.

Through IEUA’s Regional Water Use Efficiency Program, member agencies, including the City, are encouraged to adopt approaches and technologies to encourage customers to increase water efficiency. Approaches include the implementation of advanced monitoring infrastructure to increase customer engagement on their individual water usage. Locally implemented water conservation programs include: the Residential Landscape Tune Up Program; the Residential Landscape Retrofit Program; the Weather-Based Irrigation Control Update Program; and the Pressure Regulation Program. IEUA maintains staff for program coordination and annual reporting of the effectiveness of implemented programs.

The City participates in MWD’s Landscape Design Assistance Program through IEUA where customers are provided landscape design services for free. Additionally, the City participates in MWD’s Residential Landscape Transformation Program to reward customers whose landscape designs utilize water-saving plants, technology, irrigation systems, and hardware.

The City also participates in MWD’s regional rebate program, the SoCal Water$mart Program which is available to the City’s residential and commercial customers. There are rebates available for the purchase of high-efficiency clothes washers (HECW), premium high-efficiency toilets (PHET), weather-based irrigation controllers (Smart Controllers), rain barrels, rain cisterns, and turf removal to both residential and commercial customers to promote water 295

conservation. The City’s commercial customers are offered plumbing, landscaping, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and medical and dental equipment rebates. The City provides information about these programs to customers on its website.

The City plans to continue implementation of these programs to promote water conservation.

9.3 Reporting Implementation

9.3.1 Implementation over the Past Five Years
The highlights of DMM implementation over the past five years are described in previous sections. Additionally, the City is committed to implementing water conservation programs and works collaboratively with IEUA to provide water conservation programs for its residents. As a customer agency of IEUA, the City’s residents have the benefit of participating in IEUA’s conservation efforts as well as those provided through MWD’s SoCal Water$mart and CBWCD programs. A summary of Chino’s program participation over the last five years is provided in Table 9-1.

9.4 Implementation to Achieve Water-Use Targets
As discussed in Section 5, the City met its SBX7-7 target in 2020 and has continued to do so in large part due to DMMs implementation. Water use efficiency standards from the CWOL Regulation supersede SBX7-7 standards. Water agencies, including the City, are required to begin reporting compliance consisting of indoor residential water use, outdoor residential water use, commercial, industrial, and institutional, irrigation with dedicated meters, water loss, and other unique local uses. Continued implementation of these DMMs will assist the City in meeting future water use targets and objectives, as discussed in Section 4.2.5. 298

0.1 Completed Steps for UWMP and WSCP
As discussed in Section 2.3, Chino coordinated the preparation of the 2025 UWMP with multiple agencies. Chino notified these agencies, as well as the cities and county within which Chino provides water supplies, at least sixty (60) days prior to the public hearing of the preparation of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP and invited them to participate in the development of the UWMP and WSCP. A copy of the notification letters sent to these agencies is provided in Appendix B.

The UWMP and WSCP were made available for public review in May 2026, and a public hearing was held on June 2, 2026, to receive public input on the draft documents.

Chino City Council adopted the 2025 UWMP and the WSCP at a public meeting on June 2, 2026. The resolution of adoption is included as Appendix D.

This UWMP and WSCP were submitted to DWR through the WUEdata portal before the deadline of July 1, 2026. This UWMP and WSCP will be available to the public on the Chino website.

If Chino identifies the need to amend this UWMP or WSCP, it will follow the same procedures used previously for notification to cities, counties, and the public and for initial adoption.

10.2 Plan Submittal
Chino’s City Council adopted the 2025 UWMP on J une 2, 2026, and within 30 days, Chino sub- mitted the adopted 2025 UWMP (including the WSCP) to DWR. The 2025 UWMP and WSCP were submitted through DWR’s “Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Data Portal” website.

DWR developed a checklist which was used by Chino to assist DWR with its determination that Chino’s 2025 UWMP has addressed the requirements of the CWC. Chino has completed the DWR checklist by indicating where the required CWC elements can be found within Chino’s 2025 UWMP (See Appendix E).

Within 30 days of adoption of the 2025 UWMP, including the WSCP, Chino submitted copies of the adopted UWMP to the San Bernardino County Assessor‐Recorder/Clerk’s Office and California State Library in accordance with CWC requirements.

10.3 Public Availability
Within 30 days after submittal of the 2025 UWMP to DWR, Chino made the 2025 UWMP (including the WSCP) available at Chino’s main office during normal business hours and on Chino’s website.

10.4 Amending an Adopted UWMP or WSCP
If Chino amends the adopted 2025 UWMP (and/or the WSCP), the amended UWMP or WSCP will undergo adoption by Chino’s governing board. Within 30 days of adoption, the amended 300
City of Chino
2025 Urban Water Management Plan | 10 -3

BACKGROUND
California Streets and Highways Code Section 2108.1 requires that jurisdictions maintain a Pavement Management System (PMS). The City of Chino’s PMS, last updated in February 2022, includes a database of evaluated pavement conditions and prioritizes pavement repairs based on observed surface distresses, structural strength, and other field data. Street segments are ranked with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score to determine repair priority.

Using condition data, annual pavement projects are grouped for construction by the City’s quadrant-based capital improvement zones. This quadrant-based approach reduces contractor travel distances, improves construction efficiency, and allows for phasing of work to one zone per year to achieve economy of scale. This cyclical method enables consistent allocation of time and resources to maintain and improve the roadway network equitably.

Consistent with this approach, design was initiated in the FY25-26 budget for Zone 1 pavement improvements (ST260) . Construction of Zone 1 pavement improvements will take place following contract award anticipated for July 21, 2026.

To ensure construction is completed annually within a capital improvement zone, staff recommend beginning design of Zone 2 prior to FY26 -27 budget adoption. This early start will better align the project with construction completion in FY26-27.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Pavement improvements in Zone 2 will be specifically located a long Chino Avenue (between Magnolia Avenue and Cypress Avenue) and Edison Avenue (between Cypress Avenue and Euclid Avenue ). Chino Avenue recently received pavement treatment, but one segment was skipped due to a concurrent utility project at the time. That segment is now included in the Zone 2 pavement improvement design. Edison Avenue is an arterial street with a low PCI score. The proposed pavement improvements of Edison Avenue are included in this scope of work as this is a heavily utilized truck rou te in the City. The scope of work for these segments includes pavement rehabilitation and curb ramp reconstruction to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

On April 9, 2026, Public Works staff solicited an informal Request for Proposals (R FP) from the Master On -Call consultant list (RFP No. 2023 -3003) to four (4) firms for Civil Engineering Professional Services. The City received three (3) proposals by the closing date of April 23, 2026. The proposals were evaluated and ranked based on the following criteria:
 Experience/Qualifications
 Past Performance/References
 Plan Methodology/Project Approach
 Quality and Responsiveness of Proposal
 Cost Evaluation

Following evaluation, HR Green Pacific, Inc. received the highest score and is recommended for the contract award.
