(v) These requirements shall survive expiration or termination of the Contract.

Upon request of City, Contractor shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Contract, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Contract.

If at any time during the life of the Contract or any extension, Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all work under this Contract shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Contractor shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Contract. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Contract.

The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Contract. The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

In the event of a partial or total destruction by the perils insured against of any or all of the work and/or materials herein provided for at any time prior to the final completion of the Contract and the final acceptance by the City of the work or materials to be performed or supplied thereunder, the Contractor shall promptly reconstruct, repair, replace, or restore all work or materials so destroyed or injured at his/her sole cost and expense. Nothing herein provided for shall in any way excuse the Contractor or his/her insurance company from the obligation of furnishing all the required materials and completing the work in full compliance with the terms of the Contract.

If Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Contract, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City, its officers, officials, employees and agents in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the subcontractors' certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Contractor and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor.

No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety. If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City may terminate this Agreement for cause.

RE: Response to Water Valve and Hydrant Assessment Services FY 2025-26 through 2027-28 Dear Mr. Nelson,
Xylem Dewatering Solutions Inc., dba Wachs Water Services (a Xylem brand), is pleased to submit our proposal for the City of Norco. We believe we are a strong candidate for the Water Valve & Hydrant Assessment for your city. We understand the significance of this project.

The City of Norco desires to initiate a Water Valve and Hydrant Assessment Services Agreement which serves three primary purposes. First, to evaluate and improve the operability of valves in the water distribution system through hands on field activities, second, to document, integrate and analyze locational, operational and physical information of valves in the water distribution system through professional services activities and third to define and refine the scope and value of an ongoing system wide program through consulting activities.

As you will see with our references that we have provided, we are extremely familiar with valve and hydrant condition assessment programs. Most notably, we are very familiar with the City of Norco’s water system, as Wachs Water Services has been providing our services for the city since 2014 by completing assessments and repairs to the city’s system wide inventory of valves and hydrants.

As a company we have verifiably assessed and exercised more than a million and a half valves, performed leak detection surveys on over 20,000 miles of main and have over 300,000 hydrant inspections to date. We have developed a thorough understanding of what is required at each asset to perform all the work listed under this solicitation. There will be no surprises for our staff or our management.

Wachs Water Services managers and technicians are provided with the best training, certification, and licensing program in the industry. With numerous trained and experienced technicians, a wide array of equipment and established detailed work processes, Wachs Water Services has more capacity to do this work than any other service provider who specializes in this type of work.

In this proposal you will find we have provided detailed project descriptions of nearly identical scope for your consideration. Our proposal shows that our project and staff experience, our experience working on distribution systems across North America, along with nearly two decades of performing these services successfully in more than 400 utilities, distinctively qualifies the Wachs Water Services team as the most experienced and the right choice to deliver them to the city of Norco.

Page 238 of 388 ends

Wachs Water Services is a brand of Xylem Inc., a 22,000-employee company headquartered in Washington D.C. with locations all over the U.S. Our annual revenue for 2024 was $8.6 billion.

We hope that you find our qualifications and experience the ideal fit for this important partnership. We assure you that we will not only deliver comprehensive results, data, and information but also successfully complete these services that exceed your satisfaction.

Please note, this proposal shall remain valid for a period of 60 days from the date of submittal. Wachs Water Services acknowledges the receipt of Addendum #1 and Q and A Set 1.

The Wachs Water Services team appreciates the opportunity to submit our proposal, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to continue to work with your staff on this important project.

Work Plan/Work Organization
Valve Assessment Management
A valve evaluation and repair program will proactively increase the efficiency and control of your water distribution system -- reducing the cost and consequences of system failures (breaks and leaks). This program will save both operating costs and capital investment for the City of Norco while increasing customer convenience and water quality.

Wachs Water Services will develop, plan, and execute a program that will deliver measurable, immediate, and sustainable results the city is needing to be surveyed. The valve evaluation and repair program to be executed will leverage the processes developed by Wachs Water Services during previous small valve programs which have delivered clear and measurable dollar savings and risk reduction for our customers.

Wachs has performed more valve inspections than any company in the United States specializing in this type of work.

The success of this project rests squarely on the company’s experience. Wachs Water Services’ extensive work in this field ensures that our team will carry out each task completely, on time, and on budget, and at the expected level of quality. Knowledge is gained through successful experience; Wachs has acquired more knowledge from an operational, engineering, technology, and information services perspective than any other firm engaging in this work.

Hydrant Management
Wachs Water Services’ understanding of hydrant management is based on our extensive knowledge gained through the completion of hundreds of successful hydrant assessment projects. Wachs Water Services has verifiably performed more than 300,000 hydrant related activities. These activities involve the inspection, flow testing, and rehabilitation of hydrants.

The City of Norco is strategically implementing this program to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of its inventory of water main fire hydrants. Wachs Water Services will deliver for the city the following field services which serve three primary purposes:
x To evaluate and improve the operability of fire hydrants and auxiliary valves in the water distribution system through hands-on field activities
x To document, integrate, and analyze location, operational, and physical information of hydrants and auxiliary valves in the water distribution system through professional services activities x To define and refine the scope and value of an ongoing system wide program through consulting activities
x To collect data on the performance of the water distribution system The specific objectives of this program are:
x Locate, identify, and access and record location, appearance, accessibility, and functionality data for each hydrant
x Create a deliverable database allowing hydrant data to be known and readily available and recreatable by City personnel

Page 241 of 388 ends

FY 2025-26 through 2027-28

Page 6 ends

x Inspect and operate hydrants to ensure its ability to operate and fully “flow” upon demand with adherence to the AWWA M-17 manual, NFPA 291, and ISO requirements x Compile fire hydrant information collected via an online/web-based database with hard copy reproduction capabilities
x Perform analysis of condition and criticality of each fire hydrant Analysis will factor in the size of the water main that feeds the fire hydrant, proximity of critical services, location of the fire hydrant in relation to roads or other structures, location of the fire hydrant in relation to water production plants pump stations and/or water towers/storage tanks, and actual operability of the fire hydrant.

The scope of this program is designed to achieve the City’s objectives while minimizing the direct impact on Norco resources. At the completion of the program, Wachs Water Services will provide a detailed analysis of the value of the fire hydrant flow testing and inspection program and sustainable recommendations to the city.

Plan Project
Prior to beginning assessment activities, Wachs Water
Services will work with the City of Norco to document a project plan that captures the details of the program such as overall project approach, how valve exceptions will be addressed, torque management, and data collection.

Daily, weekly, and monthly communication
responsibilities will be defined, as well as procedures to be followed in the case of an emergency such as valve
failure or major water loss.

The City of Norco will provide a geodatabase to include valves, hydrants, and water mains for Wachs Water
Services to create ProjectTracker™ —a web-based
application designed to provide field personnel with the GIS-based spatial location of each asset they are visiting, as well as surrounding assets. Asset attributes such as size, valve type, and asset ID are also available by clicking on an individual valve on the map.

The project plan will identify critical or sensitive valves, such as stub valves, boundary valves, single line feeds and critical valves / critical facilities.

Each valve will be identified by its corresponding identification number. In cases where asset IDs are not available, Wachs will create a temporary unique identification number for each asset prior to project startup.

GPS coordinate data will be field collected while onsite.

In conjunction with the city, Wachs Water Services will lay out a plan, sequence and schedule to perform valve and hydrant assessments over a one-year period.

Currently, Wachs Water Services does not plan on using subcontractors for this project.

Scope of Services
Valve Scope of Services
Locate Valve
Wachs Water Services will locate all water distribution valves using the following guidelines:
x Wachs Water Services will search for all valves visually using the GIS data provided. x Wachs Water Services will search for water valves shown, but not identified by visual inspection, using a magnetic locator, probing rods, or other tools. x For valves located, Wachs Water Services will deliver sub-foot GPS coordinates for each valve included in this program. This level of data accuracy guarantees that specific observations regarding the locational, operational, or mechanical characteristics of a given valve are associated with the correct record.
x If the valve cannot be found after searching for fifteen minutes, the valve will be labeled “cannot locate.” A work order will be created to capture a mapping grade GPS position at the location where searched. The unlocated valve will be treated and invoiced as a standard valve assessment.

It is expected that all valves to be assessed are accessible by vehicle. If equipment must be transported to the valve site unsupported by a vehicle, an additional fee may be necessary.

Identify Valve
All water valves encountered in this program will be given a unique specific valve number and be GPS mapped; the attribute data will be delivered in a database compatible with Norco ’s existing data schema. Coordinate data shall be field collected with autonomous GPS readings and subsequently differentially corrected unless real-time corrections are used. Wachs Water Services may further refine positions through filtering and inspection to eliminate noise, problematic satellite geometry, and multi-path degradation.

Access Valve
The valve cover shall be removed by Wachs Water Services to access the valve. If, after attempting to remove the valve cover, the cover is “stuck”, the cover will be broken, the valve accessed, and the cover replaced.

Replacement valve box lids are to be provided by the City of Norco.

Clean Out Valve Box/Vault
Wachs will vacuum debris or pump out water from the box/vault to allow access to the valve operating nut and bonnet bolts where possible. In every case, the operating nut must be exposed and clearly visible (not under water or debris) when the valve is exercised. To provide this service, Wachs Water Services will

Page 243 of 388 ends

Water Valve and Hydrant Assessment Services
FY 2025-26 through 2027-28

Page 8 ends

provide a vacuum and water pump with every work crew. The City of Norco will provide a location to discard spoils vacuumed out of valve structures.

Inspect Valve
Wachs Water Services will conduct a visual inspection of the valve and valve structure. This inspection will be conducted from street level and is intended to discover discrepancies that are readily visible from above ground. The specific inspection information to be captured is noted in the Project Deliverables section of this document.

Exercise Valve
Wachs Water Services will exercise each valve for a
minimum of two cycles (exercise is defined as a full
cycle, from open to shut, to open again). All valves
will be exercised with the minimum torque required to
minimize the possibility of damaging the valves.

Wachs may utilize a microprocessor-controlled valve
turner on larger valves or valves that are initially
difficult to turn. At project startup, Wachs Water
Services will share our operating guidelines for the
following situations:
x 4” and smaller gate valves
x Butterfly valves of various sizes
x 6” to 12” gate valves
x 16” and larger gate valves that are not geared
x 16” and larger geared valves
x Controlling torque using hydraulic valveturning devices x Valves found in the wrong position
x Valves that do not cycle at the proposed torque limit x Large valves with inoperable bypass valves
Valve Marking
Valve lid covers will be marked with blue paint, as the inspection and exercising process is completed. This mark is intended to provide field evidence of work completed at an individual valve and will also assist any future crew in locating the valve in a timely manner.

Minor Valve Repairs
The Contractor will complete minor repairs as they are encountered throughout this program. Minor repairs are defined as repairs that can return a valve to full operability and do not require backhoe excavation or Valve Size Non-Geared Bevel Geared Spur Geared Butterfly 2 inch 225

breaking the pressure barrier of the water system. While many different repairs may be necessary in order to restore valves to full operability, the Contractor is to only complete the minor repairs noted below. x Raising valve boxes in asphalt
o Locate the paved over valve, cut asphalt (small cut), jackhammer down to the cover, apply risers to raise to existing street level, backfill with compacted material and patch with cold patch material.

Materials (risers and cold patch) are to be provided by the utility x Raising valve boxes in dirt
o Locate the buried valve, dig down to the cover, apply risers to raise to existing ground level, backfill with compacted soil. Materials (risers) are to be provided by the utility Out of Position Valve Protocol
Out of position valves create unintended dead ends and water quality problems requiring hydrants to be flushed when they are re-opened. The City of Norco may choose to review out of position valves and request Wachs Water Services open these valves to improve system hydraulics. Hydrants may be required to be flushed under these conditions and will be manually documented; these activities are included in the hourly crew rate for additional services. Prior to the startup of field operations, Wachs Water Services and the City will agree to a standard operating protocol to be executed when out of position valves are encountered for both open and closed valves.

Seized Valves
If a valve does not cycle at the industry standard torque limit, Wachs Water Services will stop operation and address this as a seized or frozen valve work order to allow the city to determine criticality. To work with frozen valves, Wachs Water Services will only operate the valve turning equipment to a maximum level of torque as specified by the torque limits below. Should Wachs Water Services be unable to free the valve at this torque limit, the valve will be considered “frozen” and reported to the city. If requested by the city, Wachs Water Services can apply additional methods and/or additional torque to free up the frozen valve.

Hydrant Scope of Services
Locate Hydrants and Auxiliary Valves
Norco will provide Wachs Water Services with a minimum of two copies of the most current water distribution maps for the project area. Wachs Water Services will locate all water distribution assets using the following guidelines. x Wachs Water Services will search for all assets visually using the maps provided.
x Wachs Water Services will search for water assets shown, but not identified by visual inspection, using magnetic locator, probing rods, and other tools.
x If the asset cannot be located after searching for fifteen minutes, it will be identified in the database as “Cannot Locate”, documented as a work order, creating a mapping grade GPS position at the location where searched and otherwise treated as a standard assessment.

Page 245 of 388 ends

Water Valve and Hydrant Assessment Services
FY 2025-26 through 2027-28

Page 10 ends

Identify Assets
Each water distribution asset record will be identified by its corresponding GIS identification number. In cases where Asset IDs are not available, Wachs Water Services will create a temporary asset identification number that will be agreed upon before field operations commence.

Access Hydrants
Wachs Water Services will clear obstructing plant growth (weeds, grass) from an area two feet surrounding the base of the fire hydrant prior to operating.

Inspect Hydrants
Wachs Water Services will execute a visual inspection of the asset. This inspection will be conducted from street level and is intended to discover discrepancies that are readily visible from above ground. At the start of the project, Wachs Water Services will review a detailed list of observations (i.e., attribute data) to be made and collected at valve and hydrant assets during this program.

Operate Hydrants
Wachs Water Services will be required to operate all auxiliary valves and hydrants, fully exercising them and performing minor work order repairs while making numerous observations about the condition, operability, and functionality of each asset. Observations are to be meticulously documented electronically while linking them directly to earth coordinates via GPS. Wachs Water Services will operate underneath the guidelines set forth in this agreement. Due to potential condition and deterioration of assets, Wachs Water Services will not be held liable for any assets that fail or break or the consequences of such failures during operating procedures due to pre-existing conditions. Any assets that fail or break during operation will be repaired or replaced by the city.

Wachs Water Services will exercise each auxiliary valve a minimum of two full cycles and operation and exercising will continue until operating torque stabilizes without measurable decreases and valve turn count stabilized with measurable increases. Exercise is defined as a full cycle, from open to shut to open again. All auxiliary valves will be exercised at the lowest operational torque. More explicitly, torque will be reduced immediately following the initial movement of the valve to the lowest foot-pound required to continue moving the valve.

Fire Hydrant Testing and Exercising
Wachs Water Services will conduct and document a 21-point hydrant inspection in accordance with AWWA and NFPA standards. Wachs Water Services will mechanically test the pressure and flow of each fire hydrant. The mechanical inspection includes removing, greasing, and re-installing the existing caps; slowly opening and bleeding the air out of the fire hydrant pressurizing the barrel at full system pressure; and noting discrepancies.

The pressure test will be conducted with the fire hydrant charged at full system pressure, and any leakage will be documented and static pressure recorded. The flow test will be conducted by opening the cap, affixing a diffuser, slowly opening the fire hydrant to the fully open position observing velocity pressure (pitot pressure) and residual pressure on the same hydrant.

Page 246 of 388 ends

Water Valve and Hydrant Assessment Services
FY 2025-26 through 2027-28

Page 11 ends

At this time the fire hydrant will be slowly closed, drainage of the fire hydrant will be observed, caps will be replaced, and the area will be fully restored. The specific operational testing information to be documented is noted in the documentation section.

Minor Work Order Repairs
Wachs Water Services can perform minor repairs or preventative maintenance such as:
x Greasing existing caps and nozzles threads
x Lubricate operating nut, such as adding oil or grease according to manufacturer recommendations x Snug auxiliary valve packing leaks (if valve is in scope) x Auxiliary valve box structural repairs, raises, re-alignments (if valve is in scope) Due to the potential condition or deterioration of assets in the field that may or may not have been maintained, Wachs Water Services will not be held liable for any assets that fail, break or the consequences of such failures during the operating procedures due to pre-existing conditions. Any assets that fail or break during operation will be documented as a work order and should be repaired or replaced by the utility.

Equipment
Wachs Water Services is the largest known purveyor
specializing in water distribution system valve and fire hydrant preventive maintenance programs, and, to that end, owns and operates highly specialized equipment for the inspection, exercising and documentation of water distribution valves and hydrants. Our trucks are equipped with arrow board/signage and warning lights. We retire equipment and procure new equipment on an ongoing basis. Our crews have many years of experience performing this exact work with these specific tools.

If any equipment assigned to the project needs repairs, we have numerous back up vehicles with valve & hydrant equipment to supplement so work will never be interrupted.

The following are some examples of specialized equipment that would be used in support of the project:

GPS Data
All the water assets encountered in this program are to be GPS mapped with sub meter or sub foot accuracy. Attribute data will be delivered in a geodatabase feature class compatible with Norco’s existing data schema. Coordinate data will be field collected with autonomous GPS readings and subsequently differentially corrected via post-processing. Wachs Water Services shall further refine positions through filtering and inspection to eliminate noise, problematic satellite geometry and multi-path degradation.

ProjectTracker™ Configuration for Integration
Wachs Water Services proposes to configure ProjectTracker™, a secure web-based map displaying our valve/hydrant leak inspection information. This interactive application is designed to be a highly accessible but secure web-portal to allow authorized users the ability to query completed and outstanding work based on discrepancy category. Our web-based application is integrated with ESRI Maps which allows you to see your information geographically (as opposed to tables with data). Our valve/hydrant data can be exported in any format to be compatible with the full suite of Microsoft Office Products (Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, etc.). We will keep the information in ProjectTracker™ live and available to the City of Norco throughout the project, and for a period of an additional 30 days after fieldwork has been completed each year.

Wachs Water Services crews and your team can use the ProjectTracker™ to quickly see asset locations and usability. The easy-to-use tool is built on established GIS standards and features include water main isolation trace capability (dependent on the City’s Metadata system), work order tracking, crew locations, photographs, and a detailed history of all work performed and any observations that were made in the field.

It’s an ideal process for tracking the progress of the work and visualizing work order priorities.

ProjectTrackerTM Online

The following are just a few examples of the many features of ProjectTracker™:
x View live updates of crew activities
x Search and zoom to GIS assets
x View results of preset queries
x Access to all inspection database records
x Update database online when repairs are made
x Ability to load base maps behind GIS (ESRI Maps)
At Wachs Water Services we feel it’s vital that, when necessary, our assessments result in repair work. Wachs Water Services has created a robust data schema allowing for a wide array of work orders to be automatically generated based on the findings of an assessment – over 400 possible combinations exist in the in-line valve schema alone. These attribute combinations will indicate the need for further work. We can automate the creation of work order records to ensure the appropriate repair work is carried out or to simply indicate that an asset was inspected, and the asset found to be satisfactory.

Documentation
Wachs Water Services will provide a valve and fire hydrant assessment report for each asset located and provide the information in an electronic format. The information will then be entered into a valve and fire hydrant online/web-based database with hard copy reproduction capabilities. The report will include, but not be limited to, the following fire hydrant information:
x The City’s Unique ID Number
x Location (Road / Coordinates)
x Summary of existing conditions
x Summary of maintenance performed
x Summary of future maintenance required
x Operability
x Isolation valve operability
x Accessibility for fire services
x Photograph
x GPS location (sub meter)
x Elevation
Wachs Water Services will document and note any corrections needed on the City's valve and fire hydrant database. These notations shall be documented as a part of the final report so the City can make corrections to their existing system.

Project Deliverables
Deliverable Database
An ESRI dashboard including an overview map will also be provided for contract length. The dashboard shows a unique ID number, the number of assets inspected, those needing inspection, valve size, valve type, valve structure, number of work orders, repairs, and the percentages of the total. The overview map and charts/graphs are included to provide an easy “at a glance” overview of project status. The dashboard allows users to get information and numbers for the project immediately without the need to reach out to Wachs Water Services.

The final output can take multiple forms including:
x Data delivery: After field assessment data is quality checked, a geodatabase, shared service, or any other file type can be delivered on a routine frequency containing linked asset attributes, inspections, and work order information that may be imported into a work order management system or GIS x Secure sharing of information using ArcGIS Online: Through the creation of a secure, shared group within ArcGIS Online portals, we can share both field assessment inspections and resultant work order information. This allows you to leverage web services to update both your GIS and work order management systems in real-time as individual records are quality controlled and negate the need for an upload process into either system.

Create Work Orders
Wachs Water Services will create work orders for all required repairs necessary to bring all inspected valves and hydrants within the system up to 100% operability. These work orders will be captured and managed in a GIS database to be provided by Wachs Water Services. Work orders will specifically note the discrepancy of the valve and auxiliary valve, and the repair activity required to return the valves and hydrants to full operability. Work orders will contain, at a minimum, the following information:
x Valve ID
x Valve Diameter
x Hydrant ID
x Map number
x Specific valve and hydrant discrepancy (category and details) x When in scope, specific repair activity is taken to return the valves and hydrant to full operability Valve & Hydrant Assessment Status Reporting
Wachs Water Services will provide a summary of all work completed to the City of Norco during the monthly progress meeting in a virtual call (or in person) with your designated team. This update will include a quantitative analysis of work completed, the condition of valves found, and their status post exercising. This summary will include a detailed breakdown of operability before and after each asset’s inspection and exercising.

In addition to the update, this information will be delivered in an electronic format. Accompanying the report will be a map record of inoperable and/or broken valves, a detailed summary of valves found in the wrong position, and the actions taken to correct them -- including each valve’s final position. The map record will be accompanied by a map document showing ‘out of position’ valve locations as well as a list of recommended valve repairs and replacements.

QA/QC Plan
The first step of quality control and assurance is the management of both field process, and information tasks. Wachs Water Services excels in both areas by establishing clear lines of communication, and proper training. This allows for effective decision making at all levels ensuring we know exactly what and how to measure in order to maintain the schedule, budget, and a low error rate.

Quality assurance begins in the field where the technician collects GPS only when the post-processed accuracy (PPA) is below 12 inches in all cases where real time is not being used. It continues in the office where GIS analysts examine each record looking at the GPS quality indicators and any noncompliant records are flagged and reshot. In the office analysts will query the data and run scripts to assist with fixing any errors from the field. Wachs Water Services’ quality control tasks incorporate more than 500 rules checked against more than 50 data fields in the Wachs Water Services field activities database using Esri’s Data Reviewer. Wachs Water Services quality control can be summarized as spatial QC, and attribute QC; we also conduct random sampling to ensure field data is audited.

Wachs Water Services’ business intelligence data mining system reports field crew’s production statistics via a dashboard. Some items being monitored include daily production too high/low, workday too long/short, time between assets, the amount of work orders generated low/high vs. expected and other operational, efficiency and accuracy metrics.

Valve Management Experience
We have inspected over 1.5 million valves, which means we know what matters most to you and your water assets. This knowledge reflects that our team has accumulated experience other responders don’t have. Our historic data and operational experience allow us to better predict the probability of failure when we review size, age/make, soil/mechanical conditions as we increase torque. This understanding means that when we are done with our work, more valves will be operational. Fewer valves will require replacement, and fewer will subsequently fail during operation.

Wachs Water Services has substantial experience performing valve condition assessment, valve exercising, and detailed documentation of operability, location, and accessibility. This experience reflects projects involving all types of valves including cone, butterfly, gate and ball valves in all orientations and gearing configurations in vaults and in roadway boxes.

Our services are unmatched in emergency field assistance, information management and data management in North America. We have the capacity to assess and maintain thousands of valves per year in water main distribution networks.

Our field team has a wealth of experience performing the tasks associated with valve management every day. The accompanying chart lists a subset of the over 400 water utilities we have delivered successful programs while also highlighting an impressive number of completed valve assessments.

Project Title Valve and Hydrant Condition Assessment Program Contact Name Sam Nelson | 951.270.5607 | [email protected] Address 2780 Clark Ave., Norco CA 92860
Services Provided
The City of Norco was incorporated in 1964 and has a service area of approximately 15 square miles, located in the northwestern portion of Riverside County. The city is responsible for water maintenance and owns and operates a potable domestic drinking water system, wastewater collection system, and recycled water system within the City’s boundaries. The City’s service area has a population of approximately 26,000, approximately 7,500 municipal connections, and delivers approximately 8,000 acre-feet annually to its customers.

Faced with the challenges of an aging distribution system, the city initiated a system wide inventory, assessment and repair program of their distribution system control valves and fire hydrants. The city has and continues to work in a methodical, sequenced fashion to inventory, assess, accurately GPS and collect data on all assets. This work and resultant information is being used to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the City’s water distribution system as well as provide a focus and direction for the City’s repair and maintenance personnel. Norco’s proactive and disciplined approach to asset management gives a sustainable path to distribution system control.

Wachs Water Services has worked with the city on multiple projects over the past 10 years completing previous valve and hydrant work described in this RFP.

The City of Corona has a population of 153,649 people. The City’s reclaimed water distribution system consists of approximately 39 miles of reclaimed water distribution pipe, varying in sizes from 2" through 24". Pressure varies from 40 PSI to 250 PSI.

Pipe material consists of Cast Iron (“CI”), Ductile Iron (“DI”), Steel (“STL”), Asbestos / Concrete (“AC”), and 44% PVC.

The length of time that Wachs Water Services Water has served this community in assessing and repairing potable water distribution system valves, valves in the City’s grey water reuse system and the City’s fire hydrants makes it a solid reference project. Through a series of multi-year contracts, Wachs Water Services has assessed the city’s 21,421 small valves, 710 large valves and 9,640 fire hydrants on

KC Water maintains and operates water collection, treatment, and distribution systems; wastewater collection and treatment systems; and stormwater management systems for 170,000 residential and business customers in Kansas City and for 32 wholesale customers in the Kansas City region.

Wachs Water Services has been providing valve and hydrant assessment, mapping and data management services to City since 2011. Through a series of five-year (renewable annually) contracts, Wachs Water Services has assessed nearly every valve and hydrant in the City’s water system multiple times in accordance with AWWA M-44 guidelines. The data Wachs Water Services has provided through these assessments has been used to update and refresh City’s GIS and Hansen CMMS systems. Wachs Water Services Water has significantly improved the distribution system pressures, flow, water quality and firefighting capacity by eliminating dead ends created by closed valves, discovered while repairing or replacing damaged, missing or rounded operating nuts on valves throughout the water system.

Over the past nine years, Wachs Water Services Water has also provided oversight and assistance for emergency and construction shuts either for City’s crews or for their on-call contractors.

Program Highlights:
x Increased valve operability from 55% to 84%

Approach to Staffing
Wachs Water Services’ greatest asset is our people. Critical to the success of a program is the experience of the partner your team selects to create and execute the work.

At Wachs Water Services, it starts with hiring competent people.

We then provide an excellent training program and provide the opportunities for our team to maintain their skill levels. All in all, this is one of the largest investments Wachs Water Services makes on an annual basis, and we are committed to maintaining our team at this high performing level.

We have a formal process for training and a formal operational method that gives our people ready access to our extensive knowledge base. Our crews know exactly what choices they are authorized to make in the field -- they know when they are required to call a supervisor, and they know when to call your team.

In normal times, our experience and knowledge performing this work will be highly useful. In an emergency, when your team needs valve expertise, Wachs Water Services will be there for you. That is the essence of our approach to implementing this program. To have all the human resources, financial resources, equipment, and tools to get the job done right.

This continuous investment in our people provides many benefits to our water utility customers, and the team we have assembled for your project has decades of experience in delivering advanced system control programs which will result in a job performed right the first time. “There is no amount of training that can replace experience when it comes to developing a solid knowledge base. Wachs Water Services Water Services provides more experience, qualification, capacity, and capability, which amounts to more successful productivity and a low effective price to the City of Norco.”

Wachs Water Services’ managers and technicians are organized to reduce the timeframe and risks which revolve around significant system activities.

Wachs Water Services managers understand the tasks associated with carrying out hydrant testing services. They understand how tasks are interconnected and what type of oversight is necessary for them to be performed expeditiously and successfully. This knowledge and understanding are gained through successful experience working in a production environment nationwide.

In addition to specific project management tasks and analysis, the City of Norco will be provided with crucial communication paths between our field staff and project manager. Wachs Water Services’ project manager will be providing management of field activities, safety, and data deliverables. The Wachs Water Services project manager is responsible overall for all tasks; however, they are specifically responsible for the work breakdown structure, cost, and schedule variances for field tasks and the safety of everyone working in the field.

Project Team
Our project team has the unique qualification to be able to say that they have all worked with the City of Norco for the past valve and hydrant program and have been with the project since day one. That means there will be no surprises for our team, and they can walk on the first day of this new project, knowing exactly what is needed to complete the project. No other team or company can claim that experience for the city.

Wachs Water Services Project Managers achieve the best results possible for our water utility customers by crafting an implementation approach based on proven methodologies, industry-recognized best practices, customer preferences, and their own expert-level knowledge.

Statement of Commitment and Availability of our Staff
At Wachs Water Services, we affirm our unwavering commitment to fulfilling the assigned task within the designated timeframe as stipulated in the contractual agreement. To ensure efficient execution, we will allocate a dedicated crew to accomplish this work.

We affirm that no existing commitments or obligations will impede Wachs Water Services from successfully concluding the scheduled work for the City of Norco.

We pledge to devote our expertise, resources, and unwavering dedication to delivering high-quality results within the specified time frame, ensuring the utmost satisfaction for all parties involved.

Ability Of Wachs Water Services to Sustain the Loss of Key Employee(s)
Wachs Water Services resources and capacity are crucial to the success of this program. Our key employees, staff and crew members are stationed nationally.

Having field crews as well as subcontractors assigned to this project allows our project manager to flex staff and maintain schedules when weather causes delays. Of potentially greater importance, this capability to flex staff is advantageous during emergencies because it permits rapid response with the appropriate number of staff without having adverse impact on the project schedule. Our project team is structured specifically to leverage geography. That means that a field crew moved from Norco or one of our other local projects will consist of highly experienced water distribution operators employed by Wachs Water Services.

This makes our capacity more fluid. Another Contractor would certainly have problems maintaining the schedule with a small amount of turnover whereas our team would quickly adjust to the schedule by shifting resources. This means that we have excess capacity locally that is sent to other locations providing substantial flexibility.

SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution 2025-54 to Authorize Participation in the National Opioid Settlements
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-54 to Authorize Participation in the National Opioid Settlements.

SUMMARY:

A new national opioid settlement has been reached with Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydu. In order for the City of Norco to receive compensation related to the new settlement with Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydu the City must "opt in" to participate.

BACKGROUND:

In 2022, the City of Norco opted to participate in the Janssen Distributors Opioid Settlement Agreement. In 2024, the City also joined the Kroger Settlement Agreement.

Previous funds received have been allocated for specific purposes related to the opioid epidemic, such as purchasing Naloxone (Narcan) or other FDA-approved drugs to reverse opioid overdoses, and providing training and education, among other uses.

A new nationwide settlement agreement ("Settlement") has been reached to resolve the legal claims of states and local political subdivisions against Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydu, related to alleged opioid misconduct.

The Settlement requires these companies to pay over a billion dollars to combat the opioid epidemic. Of this amount, approximately $720 million will be used by participating states and subdivisions to mitigate the impacts of the opioid crisis. Depending on participation, the Settlement mandates payments over eleven years from its effective date.

Page 343 of 388 ends

Additionally, the Settlement includes injunctive relief governing opioid dispensing and requires each company to implement proactive safeguards to prevent the diversion of prescription opioids.

The proposed settlement involves two key participation steps:
 Each eligible state decides whether to participate in the Settlement.  Eligible subdivisions within each participating state must decide whether to join the Settlement. The more subdivisions that participate, the more funds flow to that state and its subdivisions. Subdivisions that do not participate cannot directly share in the settlement funds, even if their state is participating. If a state does not participate, its subdivisions are not eligible to join the Settlement.

The state of California has elected to participate in the Settlement, allowing the City of Norco, as a subdivision, to participate as well.

The funds received from this new settlement, along with previous funds, will be used to support City Programs addressing the opioid epidemic and to increase awareness among parents, grandparents, and other caregivers about their responsibilities in helping young people avoid the negative consequences of drug use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact is currently undetermined. The extent of the impact will depend on the level of participation by states and their subdivisions. As more subdivisions participate, the flow of funds to the state and its subdivisions will increase accordingly.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item closely relates to Strategic Direction No. 1, Public Health, Safety and Wellness: Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members.

National Opioids Settlements: Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, Zydus Opioids Implementation Administrator
[email protected]
Norco city, CA
Rubris Reference Number: CL-1761426
TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS:

THIS NOTICE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENTS.

SETTLEMENT OVERVIEW
Proposed nationwide settlement agreements (“Settlements”) have been reached that would resolve opioid litigation brought by states, local political subdivisions, and special districts against eight opioids manufacturers, Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus (the “Manufacturers”). Local political subdivisions and special districts are referred to as “subdivisions.”
The Settlements require the settling Manufacturers to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to abate the opioid epidemic. The Settlements will provide a maximum of approximately $720 million in cash to participating states and subdivisions to remediate and abate the impacts of the opioid crisis. Depending on participation by states and subdivisions, the Settlements require:
 Alvogen to immediately pay up to approximately $19 million;  Amneal to pay up to approximately $74 million over 10 years, and to provide either approximately $177 million of its generic version of the drug Narcan or up to an additional approximately $44 million in cash;
 Apotex to immediately pay up to approximately $65 million;  Hikma to immediately pay up to approximately $98 million, and to provide either approximately $35 million of its naloxone product or up to an additional approximately $7 million in cash;
 Indivior to pay up to approximately $75 million over five years, a portion of which, at the election of the state, could be paid in the form of Indivior’s branded buprenorphine and/or nalmefene products with a value of up to $140 million.;  Mylan to pay up to approximately $290 million over nine years;  Sun to immediately pay up to approximately $32 million; and  Zydus to immediately pay up to approximately $15 million.

The Settlements also contain injunctive relief governing opioid marketing, sale, distribution, and/or distribution practices and require the Manufacturers to implement safeguards to prevent diversion of prescription opioids.

Each of the proposed settlements has two key participation steps.

First, each eligible state decides whether to participate in each Settlement. A list of participating states for each settlement can be found at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/.

Second, eligible subdivisions within each participating state decide whether to participate in each Settlement. The more subdivisions that participate, the more funds flow to that state and its subdivisions. Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in any of the settlement funds, even if the subdivision’s state is settling and other participating subdivisions are sharing in settlement funds. If the state does not participate in a particular Settlement, the subdivisions in that state are not eligible to participate in that Settlement.

Page 348 of 388 ends

WHO IS RUBRIS INC. AND WHAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION ADMINISTRATOR? The Settlements provide that an Implementation Administrator will provide notice and manage the collection of participation forms. Rubris Inc. is the Implementation Administrator for these new Settlements and was also retained for the prior national opioid settlements.

WHY IS YOUR SUBDIVISION RECEIVING THIS NOTICE?
Your state has elected to participate in one or more of the Settlements, and your subdivision may participate in those Settlements in which your state has elected to participate. This notice is also sent directly to counsel for such subdivisions if the Implementation Administrator has their information.

If you are represented by an attorney with respect to opioid claims, please contact them.

Subdivisions can participate in the Settlements whether or not they filed a lawsuit or are represented.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND MORE INFORMATION?
Detailed information about the Settlements, including each settlement agreement, may be found at: https://nationalopioidsettlement.com. This website also includes information about how the Settlements are being implemented in most states and how funds will be allocated within your state.

You are encouraged to review the settlement agreement terms and discuss the terms and benefits with your counsel, your Attorney General’s Office, and other contacts within your state.

Information and documents regarding the Settlements and your state allocation can be found on the settlement website at https://nationalopioidsettlement.com/.

Your subdivision will need to decide whether to participate in the proposed Settlements, and subdivisions are encouraged to work through this process before the October 8, 2025 deadline.

HOW DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SETTLEMENTS?
The Settlements require that you take affirmative steps to “opt in” to the Settlements.

In the next few weeks, you will receive documentation and instructions from the Implementation Administrator or, in some cases, your Attorney General’s Office. In order to participate in a settlement, a subdivision must sign and return the required Participation Form for that settlement.

Please add the following email addresses to your “safe” list so emails do not go to spam / junk folders: [email protected] and [email protected] . Please monitor your email for the Participation Forms and instructions.

All required documentation must be signed and returned on or before October 8, 2025.

City Council

STAFF REPORT
Date: August 6, 2025 Agenda Item:

5.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alma Robles, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Community Development Director Department: Planning
SUBJECT:

Second Reading: Ordinance No. 1132 Approving Zone Change (pre-zone) 2023-01, to Pre-zone Approximately 56.82 Acres of Territory North of Bluff Street and West of River Road in the County of Riverside to be annexed to the City of Norco as Part of Annexation 27
RECOMMENDATION:

Second Reading: Ordinance No. 1132 approving Zone Change (pre-zone) 2023-01.

SUMMARY:

At its meeting on July 16, 2025, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1132 for the first reading. This ordinance proposes the pre-zoning of approximately 56.82 acres of land located north of Bluff Street and west of River Road in Riverside County, to be annexed to the City of Norco as part of Annexation 27. The ordinance passed the first reading with a 3-2 vote and is now presented to the City Council for a second reading and adoption, requiring a 4-5 vote for approval.

BACKGROUND:

This is a proposed annexation, initiated by the City, for approximately 56.82 acres located in the County of Riverside on the north side of Bluff Street, west of River Road.

All of the properties shown (in the map below) in heavy black outline, plus the adjacent public right-of-way, would be annexed to the City of Norco.

Page 350 of 388 ends

The proposed annexation would annex all of the remaining unincorporated territory between Norco and the City of Eastvale. Most of the properties are currently designated LDR (Low Density Residential) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned A-2 (Heavy Agriculture); two of the most northerly properties near the Santa Ana River are designated OS-C (Open Space-Conservation) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Areas). The properties currently designated LDR and zoned A-2 are fully developed with single family residences; the remaining two properties are undeveloped (ref. Exhibit 1 for the Existing General Plan and Zoning designations in the County of Riverside).

The Norco General Plan identifies the properties in the annexation area as within the City’s sphere of influence but does not identify land use designations for the properties.

NMC 18.03.10 states that “when annexed property is not pre-zoned, it shall be considered to be in the LD (LIMITED DEVELOPMENT) Zone at the time of annexation, until otherwise classified.”
The City of Norco is proposing to annex the Bluff Street properties to provide all City services to these properties within the City of Norco’s sphere of influence. Most of the homes in the proposed annexation area have septic wastewater systems. All of the homes were previously connected to a private community water supply (Block 77 Cooperative Water Company) that was no longer safe. The former water provider did not plan to acquire future water supplies or treat the existing water supply to make it safe to drink. Instead, Block 77 approached the City to request assistance with providing potable water service to the members/properties that were served by Block

77. The City agreed to allow these properties to obtain water service from the City. The City installed the new potable water services in late 2023 and to date, all of the developed properties in the proposed annexation area are connected to the City's water service (only six of homes are connected to the City's sewer service). Block 77 has indicated its intent to continue to use their well to provide non-potable water for watering landscaping for each property that so desires. There are no proposals to further develop any of the properties in the annexation area.

Page 351 of 388 ends

In addition to City water, the annexed properties would receive other public services upon annexation. The attached Plan of Services, required by Riverside County LAFCO for annexation applications, describes the existing public services received by the annexation area and the continuity of, or changes to, public services upon annexation (ref. Exhibit 2 - Plan of Services).

In order for the territory to be annexed to Norco the annexation has to be approved by LAFCO. The City would apply to LAFCO following the initiation of the annexation by the City Council. In addition, the City of Norco has to indicate in the application the prezoning of the territory. The pre-zoning is the zoning applicable once the annexation is complete. The annexation request is presented to the LAFCO Board for approval at a public hearing.

Unincorporated islands/annexation areas less than 150 acres are eligible for annexation under the streamlined provisions of the Government Code, which requires the LAFOC Commission to approve the annexation proposal and waive any protest provisions (otherwise available to property owners). A letter from LAFCO has been attached for reference.

ANALYSIS: Annexation: The annexation is being requested by the City because the annexation area is within the City’s sphere of influence and the City is already providing services to the properties in the annexation area. The annexation area can be served without further extension of City utilities. The annexation will support the City’s effort to provide potable water to the currently unincorporated properties. The proposed annexation is consistent with the General Plan Policies 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 in that the annexation supports the City’s small plot agricultural/animal-keeping lifestyle, and that adequate service and proper land use plans have been developed.

General Plan Amendment: The proposed action requires an amendment to the City’s General Plan to establish land use designations within the annexation area. State law requires zoning to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The existing lack of land use designation would not be consistent with any proposed zoning.

The proposed Norco General Plan land use designations are RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related). These land use designations would be the same as the designations of nearby residential-agricultural and waterfront properties, are functionally equivalent to the existing Riverside County land use designations for each property, and are appropriate for the properties and neighborhood. Findings for approval of the proposed land use designations and the corresponding map are found in the attached General Plan Amendment resolution.

Zone Change (Pre-Zone): Without pre-zoning, upon annexation, the annexation area would be zoned LD (Limited Development), which is not appropriate for the properties developed with single-family residences. The proposed Norco zoning designations are A-1-20 (Agricultural - Low Density and OS (Open Space). These proposed zoning designations are appropriate for these properties as these zones will not result in additional development, are equivalent to the existing Riverside County zoning designations, and are identical to existing Norco zoning designations within the neighborhood. Norco Municipal Code 18.03.10 authorizes the City Council to pre-zone annexed areas by resolution. Findings for approval and the corresponding map of the proposed pre-zoning are found in the attached Zone Change resolution.

Page 352 of 388 ends

CEQA: The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the City of Norco Environmental Guidelines pursuant to Class 19 (Annexations of Existing Facilities).

Planning Commission: The Planning Commission considered the subject annexation at their meeting on February 14, 2024. After hearing the testimony of the property owners affected by the annexation, who were all opposed to being annexed into the City, denied the resolution to support the subject annexation. The minutes excerpt on the annexation for that meeting on February 14, 2024 has been attached for reference.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Existing City services and infrastructure are adequate to service the proposed annexation area. To connect to the City water system, property owners were charged water development impact fees and water service construction fees. To connect to the City's wastewater system, the appropriate impact fees must also be paid. Properties that stay on septic will be required to pay a monthly treatment capacity fee. Following annexation, general taxes will continue to be levied on properties in the annexation area and the City of Norco would be added as a tax rate area.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORCO,
CALIFORNIA APPROVING ZONE CHANGE 2023-01 TO PRE-ZONE
APPROXIMATELY 56.82 ACRES OF TERRITORY NORTH OF BLUFF

STREET AND WEST OF RIVER ROAD IN THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE

TO BE ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF NORCO AS PART OF ANNEXATION

27. WHEREAS, the City of Norco desires to initiate a proposal pursuant to the CorteseKnox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, commencing with Section 56000 of the California Government Code, for the annexation of unincorporated territory located generally on the north side of Bluff Street, west of River Road, in the County of Riverside as referenced in attached Exhibit A.

WHEREAS, the City of Norco initiated a Zone Change 2023-01 as part of Annexation 27 and General Plan Amendment 2023-01, under the provisions of Title 18 of the Norco Municipal Code to establish zoning designations (pre–zone) as shown in Attachment C for the properties in the territory proposed to be annexed to the City; and WHEREAS, said application has been duly submitted to said City’s Planning Commission for decision at a public hearing for which proper notice was given; and WHEREAS, said application was scheduled for a public hearing with the Planning Commission on February 14, 2024, on or about 7 p.m. within the Council Chambers at 2820 Clark Avenue, Norco, California, 92860, and said Commission did hold a public hearing and received oral and written testimony pertaining to said application; and WHEREAS, at said meeting, the Planning Commission denied Resolution 2024- 06, thereby recommending that the City Council not initiate Annexation 27 and corresponding Zone Change 2023-01 to establish zoning designations (pre-zone) as shown on Attachment C for the properties in the territory proposed to be annexed to the City; and

August 6, 2025
WHEREAS, the City of Norco, acting as the Lead Agency, has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Norco Environmental Guidelines per Class 19.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Norco does hereby make the following FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS:

I. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS:

This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Norco Environmental Guidelines per Class 19.

II. FINDINGS FOR ZONE CHANGE 2023-01 (PRE-ZONE):

A. The requested zone change is necessary and desirable for the development of the community in harmony with the objective of the General Plan in that the proposed A-1-20 and OS zones, equivalent to the existing Riverside County A-2 and W-1 zones, are compatible with the proposed RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related) General Plan land use designations. The proposed A-1-20 zone is consistent with the existing residential development on the properties and with General Plan Policy 2.8.1 in that the zone supports the City’s small plot agricultural/animal-keeping lifestyle. The proposed OS zone is appropriate given that these properties adjacent to the Santa Ana River, subject to flooding, are not suitable for intense development.

B. The requested zone change will be compatible and complementary to existing conditions in the surrounding area in that the proposed A-1-20 zone is identical to that of adjacent properties, and the proposed OS zone is identical to that of other properties adjacent to the Santa Ana River.

C. The site is adequate in size to accommodate uses permitted in the zone requested, and that all applicable property development standards can be complied with in that properties to be zoned A-1-20 or OS generally meet the minimum property size requirements of the applicable zone.

D. The site properly relates to streets and highways designed and fully improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic that is expected to be generated in this area; and that utilities exist or are planned which will adequately serve the property as rezoned in that no improvements to streets, water mains, or sewer mains are needed to serve the territory to be annexed.

III. DETERMINATION:

NOW THEREFORE be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Norco, California, does hereby approves as follows:

EXHIBIT 2

BLUFF STREET ANNEXATION PLAN OF SERVICES

CITY OF NORCO
I. Background/Introduction
The City of Norco is proposing to annex the Bluff Street properties to provide City services to these properties within the City of Norco’s sphere of influence. The properties currently zoned A-2 (County of Riverside) are fully developed with single family residences. A majority of the homes have septic wastewater systems and are connected to the City of Norco domestic water system. Most of the properties are currently designated LDR (Low Density Residential) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned A-2 (Heavy Agriculture); two of the most northerly properties near the Santa Ana River are designated OS-C (Open Space-Conservation) in the Riverside County General Plan and are zoned W-1 (Watercourse, Watershed, and Conservation Areas). The City of Norco is predesignating the properties with equivalent General Plan land use designations: RA (Residential Agricultural) and WR (Water Related), and pre-zoning the properties with equivalent zoning designations: A-1-20 (Agricultural Low Density)--(with a minimum lot size of 21,780 square feet), and OS (Open Space). There are no proposals to develop any of the properties.

II. Police Protection
A. Current Service Provider
The Riverside County Sheriff currently provides police protection. The agency-wide officer to population ratio goal is .75 officers per 1,000 population. The response time goals for the area are 4 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 15 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 22 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 45 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

The nearest County Sheriff substation providing counter services to the affected area is the Norco substation at 2870 Clark Avenue in Norco. The current officer to population ratio within the unincorporated area of the station is .57 officers per 1,000 population. The actual number of patrol hours per day within the unincorporated service area of the station is 48. Within the general area, the average response times are 4.93 minutes for Priority 1 calls, 16.38 minutes for Priority 2 calls, 32.13 minutes for Priority 3 calls, and 49.95 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

Five community-oriented policing and traffic deputies are also assigned to the community.

They work with and support the 19-member Norco Citizen's Patrol Program, conduct neighborhood watch programs, engage in community-oriented policing programs, and help prevent crime by targeting habitual offenders the ones who account for a large portion of the crime in the community. They also investigate traffic collisions, enforce traffic regulations and arrest drunk drivers.

B. New Service Provider

IV. Water Services

Page 365 of 388 ends

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 4 A. Current Service Provider
Water services are currently being provided by the City of Norco; however, they were previously served by Block 77 Cooperative Water Company. The City does not have the existing water demands within the annexation area, but since the number of properties in question is small and defined as residential in nature, the overall water demands are not expected to exceed more than 20 acre-feet a year. There is no projected additional water demand within the annexation area under the current service provider. Demand from this area has not been accounted for in an UWMP or WSA but the City of Norco has sufficient water supply.

1. Water Supply
The current water supply is from both the City of Norco (Domestic) and from Block 77 groundwater well (irrigation). The groundwater well water is contaminated and unsafe to drink due to the contaminated groundwater. The current water provider does not plan to acquire future water supplies or treat the existing water supply to make it safe to drink. Instead, Block 77 has approached the City to request assistance with providing potable water service to the members/properties that are currently served by Block 77. The City has agreed to allow any property to obtain water service from the City and at least 16 members have already paid a water development impact fee and cost to construct a new water service to each respective property. The City completed the new potable water services in October 2023. Please note Block 77 has indicated its intent to continue to use their well to provide non-potable water for watering landscaping for each property that so desires.

2. Water Facilities
The existing Block 77 water facilities consist of one active well with pumps and pipes connecting to the properties within the annexation area. The well water has been determined by the State to be below water quality standards to serve the area and the well facility does not include needed water treatment. New water treatment facilities would be required to provide safe drinking water which Block 77 is not willing to construct and maintain. All future water use from the existing Block 77 well will be for non-potable purposes.

B. New Service Provider

1. Water Demand
The City of Norco will provide water service to the annexation area. Existing water demand within the City is about 6,700 acre-feet annually. Total projected total water demand within the City based on the existing zoning and land use designations is about 8,000 acre-feet annually. The additional water demand within the proposed annexation area is projected to be about 20 acre-feet annually. As the annexation area is within the City’s Sphere of Influence, the demand from Block 77 can be accommodated by the City of Norco.

Plan of Services for City of Norco Bluff Street Annexation (Annexation #27) 5 2. Water Supply
The City of Norco currently depends on three (3) wells and seven (7) outside agency connections for potable water supplies. The wells currently produce between 1,000 to 1,500 acre-feet annually and can safely yield 2,500 acre-feet at full operation. The City has nine (9) reservoirs with a combined storage capacity of fourteen (14) million gallons. The utilizes a water treatment facility that removes iron, manganese, and arsenic from its well water, insuring a safe and uninterrupted potable water supply of sufficient volume and pressure to meet domestic, irrigation, and fire flow requirements.

The City of Norco is in the process of developing a recycled water system to help offset/replace potable water demands at local parks. However, there is no immediate plan or infrastructure to support residential use on a localized or city-wide basis.

3. Water Facilities
An existing City water line runs the length of Bluff Street, adjacent to all of the properties to be annexed. The City completed a full water mainline replacement project on Bluff Street in October 2023 and at that time new water services were installed to each of the Block 77 properties that paid the applicable fees. No new wells, transmission lines, or storage will be needed to serve the annexation area. To connect to the City water system, the City charges each property a water development impact fee in the amount of $4,662 and a water service construction fee in the amount of $2,300 for a 1-inch service or $6,000 for a 2-inch service. See attached Norco Water System Map.

V. Wastewater Services
A. Wastewater Demand
Many of the properties in the annexation area are currently on septic but there are a few properties that have already connected to the City’s wastewater collection system. The City has already informed Block 77 members that they can connect to the City’s wastewater system if the appropriate impact fees in the amount of $6,134 is paid and a contractor is hired by the resident to install the new sewer service. The City will not require property owners in the annexation area to immediately connect to the City’s wastewater system. However, the City has an ordinance in place that does require properties within 200 feet of a public sewer to be connected to the City’s sanitary sewer system upon the transfer of property ownership.

B. Wastewater Facilities
The City is a member of the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) wastewater treatment plant that is fully operational. The plant can treat up to 2,700,000 gallons per day of Norco flow and is currently treating 1,900,000 gallons per day of Norco flow. An existing City sewer line runs the length of Bluff Street, adjacent to all of the properties in the annexation area. No new sewer facilities or expansion of existing facilities will be required to serve the annexation area. If properties are annexed, the City does require all properties on septic to pay a monthly treatment capacity fee in the amount of $19 which pays for the reserved treatment capacity of WRCRWA for Norco residents.

See attached Norco Sewer System Map.
