1 NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING PROPOSED WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES
Hearing Date & Time: December 11, 2023 6:00 PM
Hearing LocaƟon: City Hall
154 South 8th Street, Grover Beach, CA 93433
Why are you receiving this noƟce?
The City of Grover Beach (City) is mailing this noƟce to you because you are a water and/or wastewater customer or are the owner of record of a property that receives water or wastewater service. This noƟce describes proposed changes to the water and wastewater rates and gives informaƟon about a public hearing to be held on December 11, 2023 at the City Hall, 154 South 8th Street, Grover Beach, CA, 93433 regarding these proposed changes.
What do water and wastewater rates fund?
The City provides water and wastewater service to residenƟal, landscape, and commercial customers. Monthly rates charged to system users (customers) on a bi-monthly basis are the primary source of revenue to operate the water and wastewater systems and are used solely for this purpose. Rate revenue provides funding for annual operaƟng and maintenance costs, capital projects to improve water and wastewater infrastructure, administraƟon, and maintaining adequate fund reserves and planning for conƟngencies.
In order to maintain a high level of water quality and ensure adequate supply, several water system capital projects are proposed to be supported by your water payments that include the: Central Coast Blue Water Sustainability Project; Reservoir Maintenance; Automated Meter Reading; Water Meter Replacements; Booster StaƟon upgrades, and other projects. Capital projects that are supported by your wastewater payments include the: sewer upgrades for both future and exisƟng flows, Fronts Street LiŌ StaƟon Upgrades, South Oak Park LiŌ StaƟon Upgrades; System Repairs; and Citywide Sewer Lining projects.
New Drought-Resistant Water Supply: Central Coast Blue Water Sustainability Project Central Coast Blue is a regional water sustainability project that will create a new, high-quality, and drought-resistant water supply for Grover Bech, Pismo Beach, and Arroyo Grande. These communiƟes are designing and building a new advanced water purificaƟon facility that will supplement local groundwater supplies. The Advanced Treatment Facility will treat water from the City of Pismo Beach's Wastewater Treatment Plant to produce purified water that will be injected into the groundwater basin to supplement the natural groundwater supply and to create a seawater intrusion barrier. The project allows these communiƟes to have sufficient water supplies even in Ɵmes of drought.
Central Coast Blue will enhance local supply reliability and help protect the communiƟes from droughts by diversifying supply sources and avoiding excessive reliance on any one source of water. This project also reduces the amount of treatment plant effluent to the ocean by 74%. For more informaƟon, visit www.centralcoastblue.com.
Maintaining Sustainable Water and Wastewater Systems
Water and wastewater rates support the overall financial plans for water and wastewater. These financial plans account for increasing operaƟng expenses, including support for rising personnel costs, electricity, chemicals, and purchased water (Lopez Lake water). The financial plans also include ensuring adequate reserves and debt service coverage raƟos.
Why are rate increases needed?
Current rates do not provide adequate funding for long-term operaƟon and maintenance expenses and capital projects. The City engaged a consultant to perform studies of the City’s water and wastewater funds, and to recommend user rates designed to meet the City’s financial obligaƟons, including operaƟng and debt service costs, funds for needed capital projects, and maintenance of cash reserves. The rate structures developed in the studies comply with federal, state, and City laws and guidelines. They are consistent with good industry pracƟces and are equitable among the City’s customer classes. At the City Council MeeƟng on October 23, 2023, the report on these studies was presented which included recommended uƟlity rates through January of 2028. The City Council reviewed the report and approved the proposed rate schedule to be considered at a public hearing on December 11, 2023.
Attachment 2
2 The proposed rates are based on a comprehensive uƟlity rate study and financial plan to ensure reliable and funcƟonal water and wastewater systems. The City will annually review revenues and expenditures for the water and wastewater funds to ensure that sufficient and appropriate revenues are collected to effecƟvely provide for the short and long-term service needs of the community.
The rate study report providing the rate development methodology is available at City Hall and on the City’s website at www.groverbeach.org.
New rates
In order to provide necessary funding to operate and carry out long-term improvements of the water and wastewater systems, the City is proposing to implement new rates as a series of annual revenue adjustments over the next five years. The following tables summarize the proposed water and wastewater rates.

1 AVISO A LOS PROPIETARIOS DE LA AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA CON RESPECTO A
LAS TARIFAS PROPUESTAS DE AGUA Y AGUAS RESIDUALES
Fecha y hora de la audiencia pública: 11 de diciembre de 2023 a las 18:00 Ubicación de audiencia pública: Ayuntamiento de Grover Beach 154 South 8th Street, Grover Beach, CA 93433
¿Por qué recibe este aviso?
La Ciudad de Grover Beach (Ciudad) le envía este aviso por correo porque usted es un cliente de agua y / o aguas residuales o es el propietario registrado de una propiedad que recibe servicio de agua o aguas residuales. Este aviso describe los cambios propuestos a las tarifas de agua y aguas residuales y brinda información sobre una audiencia pública que se llevará a cabo el 11 de diciembre de 2023 en el ayuntamiento, 154 South 8th Street, Grover Beach, CA, 93433 con respecto a estos cambios propuestos. ¿Qué financian las tarifas de agua y aguas residuales?
La Ciudad proporciona servicio de agua y aguas residuales a clientes residenciales y comerciales. Las tarifas mensuales que se cobran a los usuarios del sistema (clientes) cada dos meses son la principal fuente de ingresos para operar los sistemas de agua y aguas residuales y se utilizan únicamente para este propósito. Los ingresos de la tasa proporcionan fondos para los costos anuales de operación y mantenimiento, proyectos de capital para mejorar la infraestructura de agua y aguas residuales, administración y mantenimiento de reservas de fondos adecuadas y planificación para conƟngencias.
Con el fin de mantener un alto nivel de calidad del agua y garantizar un suministro adecuado, se proponen varios proyectos de capital del sistema de agua para ser apoyados por sus pagos de agua que incluyen: proyecto de Sostenibilidad del Central Coast Blue; mantenimiento de embalse; lectura automatizada de medidores; reemplazos de medidores de agua; actualizaciones de la estacione de bombeo y otros proyectos. Los proyectos de capital que están respaldados por sus pagos de aguas residuales incluyen: mejoras de alcantarillado para flujos futuros y existentes, mejoras de la estación de bombeo de Front Street, mejoras de la estación de bombeo de South Oak Park Boulevard; reparaciones del sistema; y proyectos de revestimiento de alcantarillado en toda la ciudad.
Nuevo suministro de agua resistente a la sequía: Proyecto de Sostenibilidad Central Coast Blue Central Coast Blue es un proyecto regional de sostenibilidad del agua que creará un nuevo suministro de agua de alta calidad y resistente a la sequía para Grover Beach, Pismo Beach y Arroyo Grande. Estas comunidades están diseñando y construyendo una nueva planta avanzada de purificación de agua que complementará los suministros locales de agua subterránea. La Planta de Tratamiento Avanzado tratará el agua de la Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales de la Ciudad de Pismo Beach para producir agua purificada que se inyectará en el acuífero de agua subterránea para complementar el suministro natural de agua subterránea y crear una barrera de intrusión contra el agua salada. El proyecto permite que estas comunidades tengan suficientes suministros de agua incluso en tiempos de sequía.
Central Coast Blue mejorará la confiabilidad del suministro local y ayudará a proteger a las comunidades de las sequías al diversificar las fuentes de suministro y evitar la dependencia excesiva de cualquier fuente de agua. Este proyecto también reduce la cantidad de efluentes de la planta de tratamiento al océano en un 74%. Para obtener más información, visite www.centralcoastblue.com.
Mantenimiento de sistemas sostenibles de agua y aguas residuales Las tarifas de agua y aguas residuales apoyan los planes financieros generales para el agua y las aguas residuales. Estos planes financieros representan el aumento de los gastos operativos, incluido el apoyo al aumento de los costos de personal, electricidad, productos químicos y agua comprada (agua del lago López). Los planes financieros también incluyen asegurar reservas adecuadas y coeficientes de cobertura del servicio de la deuda.
¿Por qué se necesitan aumentos de tarifas?
Las tarifas actuales no proporcionan financiación adecuada para gastos de operación y mantenimiento a largo plazo y proyectos de capital. La Ciudad contrató a una empresa para realizar estudios de los fondos de agua y aguas residuales de la Ciudad, y para recomendar tarifas de usuario diseñadas para cumplir con las obligaciones financieras de la Ciudad, incluyendo costos operativos y de servicio de la deuda, fondos para proyectos de capital necesarios y mantenimiento de reservas de efectivo. Las estructuras de tarifas 2 desarrolladas en los estudios cumplen con las leyes y pautas federales, estatales y municipales. Son consistentes con las buenas prácticas de la industria y son equitativos entre las clases de clientes de la Ciudad. En la reunión del Concejo Municipal del 23 de octubre de 2023, se presentó el informe sobre estos estudios que incluía las tarifas de servicios públicos recomendadas hasta enero de 2028. El Concejo Municipal revisó el informe y aprobó el programa de tarifas propuesto para ser considerado en una audiencia pública el 11 de diciembre de 2023.
Las tarifas propuestas se basan en un estudio exhaustivo de tarifas de servicios públicos y un plan financiero para garantizar sistemas de agua y aguas residuales confiables y funcionales. La Ciudad revisará anualmente los ingresos y gastos de los fondos de agua y aguas residuales para asegurar que se recauden ingresos suficientes y apropiados para satisfacer eficazmente las necesidades de servicio a corto y largo plazo de la comunidad. El informe del estudio de tarifas que proporciona la metodología de desarrollo de tarifas está disponible en la Municipalidad y en el sitio web de la Ciudad en www.groverbeach.org.
Nuevas tarifas
Con el fin de proporcionar los fondos necesarios para operar y llevar a cabo mejoras a largo plazo de los sistemas de agua y aguas residuales, la Ciudad propone implementar nuevas tarifas a base de una serie de ajustes anuales de ingresos durante los próximos cinco años. Las siguientes tablas resumen las tarifas propuestas de agua y aguas residuales.

Subject: WaterSMART Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Grant Endorsement, Central Coast Blue
Dear Deputy Commissioner Payne,
I am writing in support of the City of Pismo Beach’s (City) application for federal funding to advance the permitting, design and construction of Central Coast Blue. Central Coast Blue is a regional water reuse project that will create a new, local, drought-resilient water supply and protect the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin from seawater intrusion. This collaborative, multiphase project is a partnership between the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach that will benefit southern San Luis Obispo County for generations to come.
Central Coast Blue will inject highly purified recycled water into the local groundwater basin to replenish the groundwater supply and prevent contamination caused by seawater intrusion. This critical project will provide the following benefits to the region, including several census tracts designated by the State as disadvantaged or severely disadvantaged communities:
• Increase water supply sustainability by protecting the groundwater basin from seawater intrusion, replenishing this essential resource and increasing sustainability of local groundwater supplies.
• Increase resilience to climate change by creating a new, local, drought-resilient water supply, and reducing reliance on strained imported water and local surface water supplies.
The funding request in the City’s application to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART:
Title XVI WIIN Act Water Reclamation and Reuse Projects for Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024 is critical for the success of the project. Combined with the participating agency contributions, State grant funding, WIFIA financing, and the $14.1M in Title XVI funding previously awarded, this grant will allow the City and its partners to construct this vital project for our region.
Attachment 3
Again, I write in support of the City’s request for WaterSMART funding, consistent with relevant rules and regulations.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Salud Carbajal
