To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: September 22, 2026
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CONSOLIDATED

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT FOR
SUBMISSION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Recommendation:

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the draft fiscal year (FY) 2025- 26 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); and

2. Approve a resolution approving the CAPER and authorizing staff to submit the final report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by the required deadline of September 28, 2026.

Strategic Priority:
4 - Health, Wellness & Safety - Create a safe and thriving City with low crime and high standards for health and wellness.

Strategy:

4.3 Maintain a clean, safe, attractive environment to sustain a high quality of life for residents.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no impact to the General Fund. Submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report is a federally mandated requirement for the City to remain eligible to receive annual entitlement funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Background:

Pico Rivera is considered an entitlement jurisdiction and receives annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships 1 Back to Agenda Outline

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of HUD to implement the CDBG Program. The funding is determined by a formula calculated by HUD based on population, poverty levels, age of housing stock, number of overcrowded units, etc. The City’s allocation can fluctuate year-to-year causing funding to increase or decrease.

Each year, HUD requires the City to prepare and submit a CAPER within 90 days of the close of the program year, which for the City runs from July 1 – June 30. The CAPER details how the City used federal funds to meet the housing and community development goals outlined in its Consolidated Plan (five-year strategy that identifies community needs and funding priorities), and its Annual Action Plan (one-year plan that lists specific projects and activities).

Discussion:

The draft FY 2025-26 CAPER evaluates program accomplishments for the period of July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026. The CAPER provides both financial and narrative performance reports, documenting progress toward HUD and City goals.

CDBG funding may be used for a variety of eligible activities that meet HUD’s statutory goals, including but not limited to:

1. Providing decent housing by assisting homeless individuals in obtaining appropriate housing; preserving affordable housing stock; increasing the availability of permanent, affordable housing for low-income households without discrimination; and expanding supportive housing for individuals with special needs.

2. Creating suitable living environments by improving neighborhood safety and livability; reducing the isolation of income groups through the decentralization of housing opportunities and revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special architectural, historical, or aesthetic value; and conserving energy resources.

3. Expanding economic opportunities by creating jobs accessible to low-income persons; increasing access to mortgage financing and credit for development activities that promote long-term community viability; and empowering low-income persons to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce poverty in federally assisted and public housing.

The City allocates its annual CDBG funding to projects and activities carried out by City departments and community-based non-profit organizations to address the housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

During the 2025-2026 CDBG Program Year, the City-funded or completed the following activities to assist in meeting its housing goals:

1. Section 8 Rental Assistance Program –362 households supported

2. Housing Rights Center Services – 78 households were supported CAPER 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Through their fair housing services, the Housing Rights Center responded to inquiries from Pico Rivera residents regarding discrimination against persons with disabilities; conducted Fair Housing Rights Workshops that included an overview of the fair housing law and protected classes and unlawful practices; and distributed informational brochures regarding various fair housing laws (such as fair housing laws for persons with disabilities and eviction laws, etc.).

The City typically funds a Handy Worker program to support its housing objectives include. Although the City programmed the activity as part of its 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, the program model is under review so there were no projects completed. For its 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan the City has programmed and allocated funds to continue with the Handy Worker Program to support families and the City maintain the City’s affordable housing stock.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

Outcomes of the prior 5-year report periods (Action Plans) impact future Annual Action Plans as the City assesses its progress towards meeting its established goals and outcomes. The City will reassess areas, projects, or activities where goals were not met. Prioritization of needs will continue to impact future annual Action Plans. The City continues to work closely with departments and nonprofit organizations to encourage input on community needs.

Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity.

Table 7 – Number of Households Served
Narrative Information
As previously noted, the City typically runs a Handy Worker program to support and maintain its affordable housing options. However, due to expected revisions to the program design, the City was unable to meet this year's goal. The City continues to reassess the needs and available funds to continue to offer this program to the residents.

Also as outlined in the City's most recent Housing Element, the City continues to promote early and active consultation with developers to assist in expanding housing opportunities, especially those tailored to special needs and for low-income households. Furthermore, the City’s collaboration with the Housing Rights Center, an organization that aids residents in addressing landlord/tenant issues, ensuring that residents are informed about their housing rights via a telephone hotline, community workshops, and handouts. These services help reduce evictions and foreclosures and reduce the loss of unsubsidized affordable housing units.

CAPER 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City monitors and seeks out federal, state, and local funding opportunities to support and preserve affordable housing within the City.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
• Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
During the 2025–2026 reporting period, no CDBG funding was allocated specifically for homeless outreach services. As outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City chose not to dedicate its limited CDBG resources to this activity because of the homelessness service and shelter providers with whom the City partners already operate well-developed outreach and assessment programs that connect unhoused individuals to appropriate services. Individuals seeking assistance may be referred to one of several local agencies, including Angel Step Inn Domestic Emergency Shelter, the Salvation Army, the Women and Children’s Crisis Center, Whittier First Day, and Pacific Clinics—all located within a three-mile radius of the City. The City retains a consultant to provide direct homeless outreach services within Pico Rivera. This service is funded through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant fund program administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
• Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The 2026 Homeless Count identified 19 unsheltered individuals in Pico Rivera, representing a 49% decrease from 37 individuals in 2025. This significant reduction reflects the impact of the City’s focused efforts through strategic partnerships with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, and local outreach providers. All individuals counted in 2026 were unsheltered, with none recorded in shelters on the night of the count. The count also recorded 17 improvised dwellings—such as vehicles, tents, and makeshift shelters— compared to 58 in 2025, a 71% decrease. The City actively participates in regional homeless planning initiatives, including those led by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), to coordinate the use of non-CDBG resources and support a unified regional strategy to reduce homelessness. Given limited funding for emergency shelters and transitional housing, the City partners with nonprofit organizations—including The Whole Child, LAHSA, Whittier First Day, Pacific Clinics, and Jovenes—to deliver shelter, housing, and supportive services to those experiencing homelessness.
• Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
CAPER 13
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Prevention is a key component for a comprehensive strategy to prevent individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. This is often accomplished by providing temporary financial assistance, counseling, referrals, and other support services. Although it does not use its CDBG funds to allocate to specific shelter providers, the City participates in referrals to agencies which provide case management. For example, families with young children are referred to the organization, the Whole Child. Single individuals are referred to Whittier First Day. People with mental health diagnosis are referred to People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) and Pacific Clinics, and teens are referred to Jovenes. Additional details on these agencies’ services are noted in the section that follows.
• Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City of Pico Rivera is actively engaged in a range of coordinated efforts and active collaboration among community organizations, the business community, and concerned residents dedicated to overcoming homelessness in the community. The City employs a full-time Sheriff's Deputy and a City Homeless Liaison to assist the unsheltered persons in the City. The City of Pico Rivera partners with the following entities:
• Whittier First Day- is a local nonprofit organization that provides transitional bridge housing, on-site meals, clothing, 12-step meetings, education, training, employment assistance, transportation, on-site health clinic, health screenings, mental health services, and case management.
• The Whole Child – is a local nonprofit organization that provides children, adolescents, and families in the community with affordable, culturally sensitive and professional mental health services. They offer free parenting education in English and Spanish, child abuse prevention, anger management classes, substance abuse help, and counseling for teens.
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) - is a joint government agency that is responsible for addressing homelessness, including the Pico Rivera region.

LAHSA also operates the County Homeless assistance portal LA-HOP.org, which is an outreach portal designed to allow government agencies and residents to initiate an outreach referral and connect a person experiencing homelessness directly to local services.
• People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) – is a nonprofit agency assisting single adults experiencing homelessness within the Pico Rivera community. PATH helps people find permanent housing and provides case management, medical and mental healthcare, benefits advocacy, employment training, and other services to people CAPER 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
experiencing homelessness.
• Jovenes- assists youth ages 18-25. They provide housing assistance, healthcare, education, employment, and trauma recovery.
• 211 LA- is a comprehensive informational and referral system linking Los Angeles County residents to community health and human services and support. 211 LA connects hundreds of people every day to shelters, food, low-cost counseling, subsidized childcare, employment services, and a range of services for individual and family self-sufficiency.
• Pico Rivera Transit Deputy – serves as a point of contact for people experiencing homelessness throughout the City. The Los Angeles County Transit Deputy provides in-the-field case management, connecting people to shelter, food, showers, and housing. They also serve as the lead on encampment clean-ups and addressing local business concerns related to homelessness.
• Pacific Clinics- Funded through the Gateway Council of Governments, Pacific Clinics provides behavioral health, social services, substance us treatment and wellness programs for youth, adults and families. They also maintain locations in the greater Los Angeles area that provide a home for men, women and children who are unhoused. Through partnerships, they have established relationships with motels to provide short-term housing to those in urgent need.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome barriers are detailed in the City’s Housing Element and mirrored in the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan identified several barriers to the provision of affordable housing and outlined a strategy to address the obstacles. Pico Rivera has taken steps to address some of the barriers to affordable housing. The City has updated Housing Element for the 2021- 2029 planning period, identifying strategies to conserve existing affordable housing, provide adequate housing sites, assist in developing affordable housing, remove governmental constraints, and promote equal housing opportunities. Addressing barriers to affordable housing will require ongoing collaboration between local, regional, and state entities to create a more supportive environment for affordable housing development. The City will continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including various types of small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owneroccupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, and planned unit developments.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City partners with local non-profits who provide services to Pico Rivera residents to meet as many basic needs as possible, as noted in section CR-25.

For the 2025–2026 reporting period, the Housing Authority issued 11 vouchers to new families and 7 vouchers to existing program participants who requested to move under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, for a total of 18 vouchers issued between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. As of the end of the reporting period, 362 families were leased under the program.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Approximately 90 percent of the City's housing stock was constructed before 1980, which increases the probability of lead-based paint on the housing unit. The City partners with the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, which provides lead poisoning education and abatement efforts in Pico Rivera.

The abatement of lead-based hazards is vital to the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program. All housing units constructed prior to 1978 that receive rehabilitation assistance are assessed for lead-based paint. If identified, lead-based paint hazards and abatement are conducted by licensed contractors. In addition, the City ensures that "Safe Work Practices" address lead-based paint hazards by documenting these processes in its Residential Rehabilitation Program Policies and Procedures and requiring their adherence.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 10% of Pico Rivera residents live in poverty; this is three percent points lower than the previous reporting period. More specifically, 19.8% of children aged 18 and younger, and 11.5% of adults aged 65 and older, live in poverty. The 2025-2026 Annual Action CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Plan listed activities that the City could engage in to combat poverty:
• Continue to provide resources to address homelessness in the community. • Preserve affordable housing options for residents, including housing rehabilitation assistance and federal rental assistance via Housing Choice Voucher and Certificates administered by the Pico Rivera Housing Authority.
• Provide public services to assist lower-income seniors and households in improving their quality of life.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City of Pico Rivera works closely with other housing-related organizations and service providers in the County to ensure that the network of providers addresses the housing needs of City residents. These agencies include the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, the California Department of Housing and Community Development, California Housing Partnership, and Southern California Association of Governments.

The City's Community & Economic Development Department works in conjunction with the Housing Authority to ensure quality housing for low-income City residents. The working relationship between these organizations is strong. Due to the City's relatively small size, communication is typically direct and immediate. As a result, program or service delivery gaps are generally not the result of poor institutional structure or lack of intergovernmental cooperation but rather due to shortcomings in available resources.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City's Community & Economic Development Department works closely with the Housing Authority.

Additionally, the City participates in the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) planning process that LAHSA spearheads. The annual CDBG and City-funded social service grant allocation process provide an opportunity for the City to build strong working relationships with local service providers. Notices about funding availability are published to invite agencies to apply for funding and the opportunity to provide housing and social services to residents of Pico Rivera. Partnering with local service providers enhances the coordination of services to utilize limited resources more efficiently and effectively and to serve the City's residents better.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) HUD mandates that all recipients of federal housing and community development assistance such as CDBG take actions to affirmatively further fair housing, in accordance with the Fair Housing Act. In accordance with HUD regulations, the City has, and will continue to, certify its compliance with HUD’s requirement to affirmatively further fair housing choice in each Annual Action Plan requesting an allocation of CDBG funds. As part of the Annual Action Plan the City funds fair housing services to assist with affirmatively furthering fair housing efforts.

Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City's on-site monitoring process has been designed to provide program staff with information to verify the accuracy of data provided by subrecipients, ensure that subrecipients are carrying out individual activities as described in their contracts, and to ensure subrecipients use that appropriate accounting and record keeping methods as it relates to the use of CDBG funds. During the fiscal year, subrecipients submit quarterly accomplishment reports, including documentation to support CDBG reimbursement requests.

Program staff also work closely with other City departments to ensure CDBG program regulations and other federal requirements are implemented.

The City has made every effort to comply with all CDBG and Consolidated Plan regulations. The City's Citizen Participation Plan ensures that community input is considered prior to the submission of a substantial amendment or an annual update to HUD. It also ensures residents can review and comment on annual performance. Construction, professional services, and subrecipient agreements have been prepared to ensure compliance with applicable federal regulations.

Meeting Date: September 22, 2026
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – 2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Recommendation:

1. Conduct a public hearing to approve a resolution adopting the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) in compliance with California Senate Bill X7-7, the Water Conservation Act of 2009; and

2. Receive and file the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan.

Strategic Priority:
3 - Infrastructure - Plan, fund, build, and maintain reliable and cost-effective infrastructure that contributes to enhancing quality of life.

Strategy:

3.1 Prepare and update master plans to ensure up-to-date planning, innovative practices, sustainable methods, and future technology are considered for all infrastructure projects.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal year (FY) 2026–27 Adopted Budget includes sufficient appropriation for NonCIP Project 30069 under Account No. 550.70.7340-54500 in the Water Authority Fund (Fund 550). No additional appropriation is required at this time. By adopting the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan, the Pico Rivera Water Authority (PRWA) will be eligible for water loans, grants, or drought assistance funds administered by the State Department of Water Resources (DWR).

Background:

In 1983, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 797, establishing the Urban Water Management Planning Act. The Act requires urban water suppliers that serve 3,000 or more customers or provide more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually to 2 Back to Agenda Outline

prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). Urban water suppliers are required to review, update, and adopt their UWMPs every five years. The UWMP is a long-term planning document that evaluates water demand, water supplies, supply reliability, water conservation, and related water management issues within the supplier's service area over a 25-year planning horizon.

The Pico Rivera Water Authority (PRWA) is the largest of the three water agencies serving the City of Pico Rivera and provides water service to approximately 70 percent of the City's customers. The 2025 UWMP updates the PRWA's 2020 UWMP and evaluates the Authority's water supply and demand conditions through 2045.

Discussion:

Senate Bill X7-7, also known as the Water Conservation Act of 2009, established a statewide framework for increasing urban water-use efficiency and achieving a 20 percent reduction in urban per-capita water use by 2020. Under SB X7-7, urban retail water suppliers were required to establish a baseline level of daily per-capita water use, measured in gallons per capita per day (GPCD), and establish an individual urban wateruse target. The 20 percent reduction was measured against the supplier's established baseline rather than as a 20 percent reduction in the supplier's total water consumption.

For PRWA, the 10-year baseline period of 2003 through 2012 resulted in an average water use of 117 GPCD, while the five-year baseline period of 2006 through 2010 resulted in an average of 116 GPCD. The 2025 UWMP also identifies 95 percent of the five-year baseline as 110 GPCD, which is used to confirm that the applicable water-use target satisfies the minimum water-use reduction threshold.

The 2025 UWMP documents the City's historical SB X7-7 Method 1 calculation. Using the 117 GPCD baseline, an 80 percent target results in approximately 94 GPCD, which is identified in the UWMP's SB X7-7 Table 7-A as the 2020 target. The UWMP also identifies a 101 GPCD 2025 target under Method 1 pursuant to the 20x2025 methodology.

These figures represent different target calculations within the UWMP and should not be treated as interchangeable.

For the 2025 compliance year, PRWA calculated actual water use of 95 GPCD, based on a population of 41,331 and annual gross water use of 4,164 acre-feet. Accordingly, PRWA's 2025 actual water use was below the 101 GPCD Method 1 2025 target identified in the UWMP.

The UWMP also evaluates compliance using Method 3. PRWA is located within the South Coast Hydrologic Unit, for which the regional 2020 target is identified as 149 GPCD.

Ninety-five percent of that regional target is 142 GPCD. The UWMP identifies 111 GPCD as PRWA's confirmed 2025 target under Method 3. PRWA's actual 2025 water use of 95 GPCD is therefore also below the 111 GPCD Method 3 target.

Urban Water Management Plan Findings
The 2025 UWMP evaluates projected water demand and supply through 2045, considering historical and projected water use, population and land-use conditions, future development, water-supply reliability, groundwater availability, recycled water, and conservation efforts.

PRWA's primary potable water supply is groundwater from the Central Basin. The UWMP identifies 5,579 acre-feet per year (AFY) of supplier-produced groundwater as the PRWA's projected groundwater supply through 2045, supplemented by recycled water.

The plan concludes that the Central Basin groundwater supply is expected to remain reliable over the 25-year planning period and identifies a projected supply surplus through 2045 under normal-year conditions.

The PRWA's water conservation program includes the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, which requires water-efficient landscaping and promotes the use of low-wateruse plants, reduction of water waste, and the use of recycled water and water-conserving technologies where appropriate. PRWA also conducts ongoing customer outreach through its website, newsletters, bill inserts, and community events.

Recycled water is another component of PRWA's water management strategy. PRWA purchases recycled water from the Central Basin Municipal Water District, with approximately 4.79 miles of recycled water pipeline serving parks and landscaped medians. The UWMP identifies eight existing recycled-water irrigation locations within the PRWA service area and identifies additional opportunities to replace potable water use with recycled water where feasible.
2025 UWMP Adoption and Submittal
The 2025 UWMP is required to be adopted and submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2026. The PRWA's 2025 UWMP has been prepared for this required five-year update and is intended to satisfy the applicable Urban Water Management Planning Act requirements. The UWMP also identifies the required public participation and adoption process, including a public hearing concerning adoption and implementation of the plan and water-use targets.

Following adoption, the UWMP will be submitted to DWR and distributed to the applicable state and local entities in accordance with the California Water Code.

Conclusion:

The 2025 UWMP demonstrates that PRWA's water supplies are adequate to meet projected demands through the 25-year planning horizon under the conditions evaluated in the plan. The plan also documents PRWA's continued progress in water-use efficiency.

In 2025, PRWA's actual water use was 95 GPCD, which is below both the 101 GPCD PICO RIVERA WATER AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 2026

Method 1 2025 target and the 111 GPCD confirmed Method 3 target identified in the UWMP.

Staff therefore recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and ratifying the Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and authorize its submittal to the California Department of Water Resources in accordance with the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION,

OVERVIEW, AND PLAN PREPARATION
The Pico Rivera Water Authority (PRWA) is the largest of three water agencies that serve the City of Pico Rivera (City). The PRWA serves approximately 70% of the customers while the other purveyors supply the remaining 30% of the City. The PRWA is responsible for all the management and operation of the water system. This 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) has been prepared to inform the public and state agencies of the City’s water supply reliability, the effect of drought conditions, conservation efforts, and plans for future water supply. Water suppliers who serve more than 3,000 customers or supply more than 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) are required to submit a UWMP every five years on or before December 31st on years ending in five or zero. The submittal deadline for the 2025 UWMP is July 1, 2026. This plan is intended to update the 2020 UWMP prepared by Atkins engineering. As such, there are various references to the 2020 UWMP made throughout this document. All referenced material sourced from the 2020 UWMP herein will be italicized, with the exception to section headers and table/figure titles. This document has been prepared in accordance with the 1983 Urban Water Management Plan Act (Act) and the preceding amendments.

Since 1984, California’s Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) has required each urban water supplier in the state to prepare an urban water management plan. The requirement applies to each urban water supplier that provides water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet (AF) of water annually. These agencies must update their UWMP at least once every five years on or before December 31, in years ending in five and zero. The deadline for submittal of the 2025 UWMP for retail water purveyors is July 1, 2026. Section 10608 (Sustainable Water Use and Demand Reduction) in addition to sections 10610 through 10657 of the California Water Code detail the information that must be included in these plans. In accordance with the Act, the Pico Rivera Water Authority is required to update and adopt its plan for submittal to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2026. APPENDIX A contains the text of the Act.

California Water Code (CWC) 10608 was passed in November 2009 with the goal of reducing California’s urban per capita water use by 20 percent by December 31, 2020. This UWMP includes projections of PRWA’s future demands and supplies, based on estimates of future growth in the PRWA service area. It also discusses the steps PRWA has taken to promote water conservation and ensure water is being used wisely. The strategies outlined in this report are intended to allow PRWA to continue to provide a safe and reliable water supply to its customers.

The PRWA maintains its records of water use in fiscal years (FY) that runs from July 1 through June

30. For example, FY 2021 runs from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Projections in this document are reported in fiscal years.

CHAPTER 2: SERVICE AREA
The purpose of this section is to provide a detailed overview of the service area, water facilities, and climate in the City of Pico Rivera.

2.1 Population Growth
The population of the City of Pico Rivera has been in a state of slight decline since the 2020 Census.

The PRWA service area population is estimated to be approximately 70% of the City of Pico Rivera population. Population estimates show a 2026 population in the City of Pico Rivera of approximately 58,454 residents, resulting in a PRWA service population of 40,918. Through 2030, the PRWA service area population is projected to decrease 1% annually. All potable water demands are currently being met with groundwater pumped from the Central Groundwater Basin.

2.2 Service Area Description
The City of Pico Rivera is situated approximately 13 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The City was formed through the merging of two historic Towns: Pico and Rivera. In January 1958, the City was officially incorporated as the 61st city in Los Angeles County. Originally an agricultural area, the community evolved into a residential and industrial area following the end of World War II. The City, as it is known today, is a modern community of diverse businesses and vibrant locals who take pride in their city.

The City of Pico Rivera is somewhat unique, in that the city is divided into three distinct water purveyors. The City is predominantly served by the PRWA, however, a small section in the center of town is serviced by Pico Water District (PWD), and another small section in the far northeast corner of the City is served by San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWD) (see Figure 1). PRWA serves Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 4 of 58
approximately 70 percent of the city’s incorporated area (9,457 taps) while PWD and SGVWD serve the remaining 30 percent. The PRWA operates under the City while the PWD and SGVWD are independent districts, and as such, have prepared their own UWMP. As such, the details herein only pertain to the PRWA system. There are currently 13 interconnections between PRWA and the surrounding water systems, five (5) active interconnections and eight (8) inactive interconnections, as listed in Table 2 and illustrated in Figure 1.

PRWA’s primary source of potable water is groundwater pumped from the Central Basin aquifers. The Central Groundwater Basin lies beneath eighteen different cities in LA County along with some portions of unincorporated LA County. With naturally occurring recharge enhanced by recharging efforts, groundwater supplies have been sufficient to meet PRWA water demands. To protect the groundwater, the City of Pico Rivera partnered with the City of Whittier, City of Santa Fe Springs, and the Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) in 2007 to develop a program intended to protect the Central Groundwater Basin from contaminants from the San Gabriel River that are entering through the Whittier Narrows Dam. This project was given the name, Water Quality Protection Plan (WQPP).

Contaminated water is treated at a WQPP facility in the City of Whittier where it can then be distributed into their potable water distribution system along with the systems of Pico Rivera and Santa Fe Springs. The PRWA system has the capability of receiving this water through emergency interconnections with the City of Whittier and the SGVWD, however the system has not received water this way in over five years.

Pico Rivera purchases their recycled water from the CBMWD and imports it for groundwater recharge through a replenishment assessment on each acre foot of groundwater extracted from the Central Basin. A small amount of recycled water is used for landscape irrigation of the Pico Rivera Golf Course, several medians, and parks. Recently, the Southern California Water Replenishment District (WRD) established the Water Independence Now (WIN) initiative which aims to eliminate the reliance on imported water for groundwater replenishment. To achieve this goal, existing water treatment facilities will be updated, stormwater capture improved, and spreading operations refined. As part of this initiative, the Albert Robles Center for Water Recycling and Environmental Learning, formerly known as the Groundwater Reliability Improvement Project (GRIP), was constructed in Pico Rivera, adjacent to the San Gabriel River. The Albert Robles Center is an advanced water treatment plant that is designed to treat approximately 3.25 billion gallons of recycled water to be used for groundwater replenishment. With the additional volume of water being treated by the Albert Robles Center (3.25 billion gallons), the WRD is capable of delivering 6.85 billion gallons (21,000 AF) of water to the San Gabriel Costal Spreading Grounds for percolation back into the groundwater basin.

2.3 Climate Data
The source of PRWA’s groundwater supply is influenced by climate. Climatic conditions within the service area are characteristically Mediterranean, with mild, dry summers and cool winters. Most of the region’s rainfall occurs between December and March.

Evapotranspiration data for tables 3 and 4 was obtained from the California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) Monthly Report Viewer for Station 174 (Long Beach – Los Angeles Basin) using the official online interface. Station 174 was chosen due to its proximity to Pico Rivera. Rainfall and temperature data was sourced from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to complement the analysis, and taken from Los Angeles airport due to its proximity to Pico Rivera.

2.4 PRWA Water System Overview
The City of Pico Rivera encompasses approximately 9 square-miles. As illustrated in Figure 1, the area serviced by PRWA covers approximately 6.29 square-miles (70% of the total area) and contains roughly 9,457 customer taps, 97 miles of potable water pipe, and 4.79 miles of recycled water pipe.

Since 2006, the PRWA has augmented its water supply with treated water originating from CBMWD’s Water Quality Protection Project wells. The WQPP is a federally funded project developed to protect the Central Basin from the migration of a contaminant plume containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the San Gabriel Valley into the Central Basin’s local ground water supply. The contaminated water is treated to meet drinking water standards at a treatment facility located on the City of Whittier’s treatment facility site. The treated water is sold and distributed via the potable water distribution systems to the cities of Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, and Whittier for residential, commercial, and industrial uses. PRWA has an emergency interconnection with the City of Whittier and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company.

There are currently eight (8) active groundwater wells, three (3) booster pump stations, and three (3) water storage tanks located in the PRWA system. The sites that house the storage tanks are also referred to as “Plant sites”. Although tank locations are referred to as Plant Sites, treatment of groundwater is conducted at each individual well head. After water is pumped out of the aquifer, it is Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 9 of 58
disinfected using chlorine tablets before entering the distribution system or storage tank. An AccuTab system with 65% hypochlorite tablets is utilized for disinfection.

2.5 Recycled Water System Overview
PRWA purchases recycled water from the CBMWD. The PRWA has approximately 4.79 miles of recycled water pipe that is primarily used to irrigate medians and parks within the service boundary.

Figure 2 shows the location, diameter, and users of the recycled water system.

3.1 Past, Current, and Future Water Consumption by User Type PRWA maintains records of its water consumption and its number of customers by customer type.

PRWA distributes retail water supply directly to its customers, which includes residential (single- and multi-family), commercial, and landscape irrigation users. Table 6 below summarizes the water deliveries made by PRWA during the 2024-2025 fiscal year based on metered billing records.

For historical context, commencing in 2009, a 3-year water supply shortage coinciding with the great economic recession of the late 2000’s has made it necessary for PRWA to impose mandatory restrictions within its service area. In 2010 mandatory conservation continued and the economic recession became more severe. This resulted in FY 2010 water use decreasing by 16 percent from FY 2005 levels. Some relief came in 2011-2012 when water supplies in Northern California improved; however, statewide drought conditions prevailed during 2013 and 2014 with the severe drought conditions through most of 2015. Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-29-15 to initiate further water conservation measures, as a result cities and agencies through the State responded with increased reductions and water savings.

Following a statewide drought emergency declaration in 2021, emergency conservation regulations were implemented to significantly curb discretionary water use. Key measures included: limiting landscape irrigation by both duration and allowable days, prohibiting wasteful practices such as excessive runoff, washing paved surfaces, and requiring prompt repair of leaks. Additional conservation efforts targeted residential and commercial practices, such as serving drinking water only upon request and offering reduced laundry services in hotels. Enforcement provisions, including financial penalties for noncompliance imposed on both property owners and municipalities, were established to ensure adherence to conservation goals during the drought emergency.

Between FY 2020 and FY 2025 the City reduced their commercial water use by 6 percent. During the same time period the City had a residential water use increase of approximately 4.4%. Recycled and outside sales numbers went to 0 in the 2025 FY, so for now those trends are assumed to continue.

Table 7 below summarizes the projected water consumption for PRWA. The approximated growth in Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 13 of 58
dwelling units from 2021 to 2029 was projected to be 1,024 units. Using this projected increase in single/multifamily residents, along with 2025 data, a linearized projection was made.

3.2 Low-Income Water Demand Projections
The requirements of an UWMP call for projections of water demands for low-income customers.

PRWA reviewed the Housing Element from the City Pico Rivera General Plan, which forecasts projections out to 2045. It is estimated that up to 808 low-income units remain to be constructed within the city limits; of this a percentage could be built within the PRWA’s service area. This 2020 UWMP confirmed that 178 units (22 percent of 808 units) have been constructed with an estimated 630 units to be constructed over the next 20 to 25-years – for planning purposes, it is assumed that construction of these dwelling units would be spread equally over the 25-year planning horizon. With these assumptions, this UWMP estimated approximately 25 units per year would be built or 126 units every five years. The historic low-income water demand in Table 9 was determined using the City’s billing records in conjunction with data from the HUD Exchange on the areas within the city designated as low- and moderate-income. Projected demands for the low-income customers within the PRWA service area, as shown in Table 10, were calculated using details provided by the city as well as the historic data provided in Table 9.

Note: Production data summarized from PRWA SCADA system. Consumption data from City billing records.

The amount of water loss within a system is the difference between the water produced by PRWA and what was delivered to the customers. Typically, water loss in a system is due to pipe leaks, breaks, and unmetered connections. A publication by the EPA titled Water Audits and Water Loss Control for Public Water Systems state that the average water loss in systems is 16%. The system loss for PRWA between FY20/21 and FY24/25 ranges from 2% to 6%, with an average water loss of 3%. Based on the aforementioned information from the EPA, the PRWA average water loss over the last five fiscal years is less than the average. The PRWA continues to replace aged and brittle service lines with improved material which will help to reduce water loss in the future. Based on the historic data presented in Table 12 and the continuing efforts to replace service connections, a future water loss projection of 6% was used.

3.5 Climate Change Effect on Water Demand
As the climate continues to change, so will its effect on water quality and demand. Changes in climate have historically resulted in heavier downpours, increased evaporation, and rising sea levels. Heavier rain events and raising sea levels could potentially result in water contamination. With the overpumping that historically occurred in the Central Groundwater Basin, the monitoring of aquifer levels will be critical to prevent seawater intrusion. Another concern associated with heavy rain events is the possibility of sanitary sewer system overflows due to inflow and infiltration, which could also result in water contamination. Although heavy rains can threaten water quality, these precipitation events also help to alleviate drought. As climate temperatures increase, drought events are becoming worse overall due to the increase in evaporation. As water use increases in drought-prone areas, the associated groundwater aquifers are depleted. Warmer temperatures also result in less snowpack available to supply irrigation and potable water. As the climate continues to change, the use of recycled water will become even more critical to reduce the possibility of aquifer depletion.

CHAPTER 4: BASELINES AND

TARGETS

4.1 Water Use Reduction and Compliance with Water Conservation Bill of 2009 Below is a detailed description of how an urban water supplier calculates its baseline and targets, following the technical methods and methodologies described in DWR’s Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use for the Consistent Implementation of the Water Conservation Bill of 2009. Background information and the approach used to develop baselines and targets are also to be included. A description of each of these elements follows:
• Baseline daily per capita water use — how much water is used within an urban water supplier’s distribution system area on a per capita basis. It is determined using water use and population estimates from a defined range of years.
• Urban water use target — how much water is planned to be delivered in 2025 to each resident within an urban water supplier’s distribution system area, taking into account water conservation practices that currently are and plan to be implemented. • Interim urban water use target — the planned daily per capita water use in 2025, a value halfway between the baseline daily per capita water use and the urban water use target.

Following requirements provided in the DWR Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and compliance Urban Water Per Capita Use document, the PRWA has calculated baseline per capita water use, an urban use target for 2025. Reporting compliance daily per capita water use in this [2025] UWMP cycle compares the target to actual water use in [2025].

Two baseline periods are to be determined during the calculation of the base daily per capita water use. The legislation provides some flexibility in what actual periods of time are used to establish these baselines. This accounts for short-term water demand variations resulting from weather influences, as well as acknowledging the advances of water suppliers that have already begun using recycled water to reduce potable demands. The two baseline periods are:
• 10 to 15-year base period — This is a 10-year or 15-year continuous period used to calculate baseline per capita water use.
• 5-year base period — This is a continuous 5-year period used to determine whether the 2025 per capita water use target meets the legislation’s minimum water use reduction requirements of at least a 5 percent reduction per capita water use.

A 10-year period from 2003 to 2012 provides a baseline of 117 GPCD, and a 5-year average of 116 GPCD as shown in Table 16 and Table 17. As instructed in the DWR’s Guidebook to confirm the 2025 daily water use target meets the minimum threshold, 95 percent of the 5-year average is 110 GPCD.

The City’s water usage targets were previously calculated in the 2010 UWMP by Atkins. Those usage targets have been referenced in the subsequent 2015 and 2020 UWMP’s to inform the City of their progress in attaining these targets. The methods that were specifically used to calculate the target usages were Methods 1 and 3.
• Method 1 requires setting the 2025 water use target to 80 percent of baseline per capita water use target as provided in the State’s 20x2025 Water Conservation Plan. Using the methodology in the Guidebook,
• Table 19 shows the interim 2025 GPCD target and the 2025 GPCD target. The PRWA’s 2025 GPCD target at 80 percent of baseline is 101 GPCD. o Using the Method 1 found in DWR’s Guidebook (2015) and SB X7-7 tables provided by DWR, PRWA’s 10-year baseline is 117 GPCD with target at 80 percent of baseline is 94 GPCD as shown in Table 20.
• Method 3 sets its target as 95 percent of the state hydrologic region target. The PRWA is within the South Coast Hydrologic Unit, whose 2020 target is 149 GPCD. Ninety-five percent of the region’s 2020 target is 142 GPCD. As such, Method 3 sets a 2025 water use target of 142 GPCD. Based on Method 3 PRWA’s confirmed 2025 target is 111 GPCD.

In order to confirm that PRWA’s 20x2020 urban water use target meets the minimum water savings, it compares the 5-year baseline daily per capita water use value to the 20x2020 daily per capita urban water use target. If necessary, adjustments are made to ensure conformance. To accomplish this comparison, the Guidebook uses the following steps: first determine if the 5-year base daily per capita water use value is less than or equal to 100 GPCD. If not, a second step is necessary. This step requires, calculating 95 percent of the 5-year average base daily per capita water use and then comparing the results to the 2020 daily per capita target. No adjustment is required since the 10-year baseline target is less than 95 percent of the 5-year baseline.

The PRWA’s recent per capita water use has been declining to the point where current water use is slightly [below] the [2025] target for Method 1. In [2015], water use within the PRWA service area was [103] GPCD. This recent decline in per capita water use is largely due to Californians positively responding to Executive Order B-29-15 during California’s severe drought in 2015 and water use restrictions. Table 21, Table 22, and Table 23 present the results of the baseline and target methodology calculations, in accordance with the Act.

Pursuant to SB X7-7, baseline per capita water use is 117 GPCD using a 10-year average beginning in Fiscal Year 2003 and ending on December 31, 2012 and 116 GPCD using a 5-year average beginning in Fiscal Year 2006 and ending on December 31, 2010.

4.2 Water Use Reduction and Achievement of 20x2020
The PRWA has achieved the 2020 usage target of 111 GPCD as determined by Method 3 and described in the last section. The 2025 water usage for PRWA is 95 GPCD, as shown in Table 18. The reduction in water use is likely due to PRWA customers responding to past rate increases. Since 2008 its customers have continued to lower their demand, mainly, in response to rate increases that were required to cover the increased cost to obtain, convey, distribute potable water and then also pay replenishment costs within the Central Basin.

The PRWA anticipates that new development projects would incorporate green building performance standards or would seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications to lower water consumption. Incorporation of CALGREEN2 (Title 24, Part 11, Division 4.3 – Water Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 20 of 58
Efficiency and Conservation) standards in residential homes would reduce indoor per capita consumption within the PRWA service area and further contribute to a lower PRWA-wide GPCD. The City of Pico Rivera’s landscape water conservation Ordinance 1061 will result in more efficiently designed and irrigated landscapes (See APPENDIX F). City of Pico Rivera Ordinance No. 1061 is briefly described below:

The purpose of this Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance is:
a) That this Ordinance be at least as effective in conserving water as the model ordinance adopted pursuant to Government Code § 65595.
b) To assure beneficial, efficient, and responsible use of water resources for all users within the City of Pico Rivera.
c) To retain the land's natural hydrological role and promote the infiltration of surface water into the groundwater.
d) To acknowledge that landscape water use accounts for more than 60% of all domestic water use in the City.
e) To recognize that landscapes enhance the aesthetic appearance of developments and communities.
f) To encourage the appropriate design, installation, maintenance, and management of landscapes so that water demand can be decreased, runoff can be retained, and flooding can be reduced without a decline in the quality or quantity of landscapes. g) To preserve existing natural vegetation and the incorporation of native plants, plant communities, and ecosystems into landscape design, where possible. h) To promote and encourage the use of low water use plants. i) To minimize the use of cool season turf.
j) To promote the conservation of potable water by maximizing the use of recycled water and other water conserving technology for appropriate applications. k) To promote public education about water conservation and efficient water management. l) To reduce or eliminate water waste.

The PRWA may also offer incentives when feasible. This may include the following: a rebate toward the replacement of existing turfgrass with waterwise landscape materials.

4.2.1 Ongoing Water Conservation Programs and Communication Efforts PRWA will continue its outreach efforts to educate its customers regarding water smart landscapes through its website, articles within its quarterly newsletter, regular bill inserts, and its presence at outreach events throughout the community.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 21 of 58
CHAPTER 5: SERVICE AREA

SUPPLIES
PRWA delivers potable water to customers through distribution piping and booster pump stations.

Potable water is used by residential and commercial customers in addition to irrigation needs. The section herein describes the PRWA’s water source, its water quality, constraints, and reliability.

5.1 Surface Water
PRWA relies entirely on groundwater, and therefore does not currently utilize surface water. PRWA is a member agency of CBMWD and a member is entitled to purchase imported water from MWD through CBMWD. However, PRWA remains without any direct connection MWD/CBMWD, as the nearest feeder is about two miles west of PRWA, and there are no current plans to construct a connection to the MWD/CBMWD system. If this is reconsidered in the future, the PRWA may assess feasibility of this surface water connection and other options that would make this connection viable.

5.2 Groundwater
Within the region, there are two primary groundwater basins: The Central Basin and the West Coast Basin. The PRWA receives all its groundwater from the Central Basin. Twenty-four cities and several private water agencies are supplied by the Central Basin, for which DWR is the Watermaster. The Central Basin is a large alluvial groundwater basin which lies beneath the southeastern portion of the Los Angeles Coastal Plain. The Central Basin is enclosed on the north by Merced Hills, Whittier Narrows, and Puente Hills, on the east by Orange County, and on the southwest by the Newport Inglewood Uplift. A more detailed description of the Basin is included in APPENDIX C:

GROUNDWATER BULLETIN 118 - BASIN DESCRIPTION.

As stated previously, the PRWA obtains its potable water supply from the underlying Central Basin groundwater basin that is recharged by local streamflow, imported water, and recycled water. A summary of the water supply sources provided and managed by varying agencies and available to the PRWA are summarized below.

5.2.1 Central Groundwater Basin
The Central Basin contains millions of acre feet of storage and is the principal source of water for the overlying cities and water districts, including the PRWA. The Central Basin groundwater comprises a number of sources: 1) natural recharge from precipitation and runoff from regional/local watersheds; 2) artificial recharge supplied through purchased imported water; and 3) treated effluent from regional wastewater treatment facilities. As stated above, the WRD manages the ongoing artificial recharge activities within the Central Basin groundwater area. Central Basin groundwater users have the ability to extract up to 20 percent above their APA, provided the over-extraction can made up the following year. In addition, WRD allows Central Basin users to carryover up to 20 percent of their APA into the next year. In other words, the carryover supply is only available in the following year and cannot be added to previous carryover supplies. Currently, if an agency exceeds its APA and does not possess carryover quantities from under pumping in previous years, it must lease unused APA from other Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 22 of 58
overlying entities. It is generally understood that several thousand-acre feet of APA are reportedly available for lease purchases each year.

Groundwater has for many years been the primary supply of water within Central Basin's service area.

In fact, it was the sole source of water supply until the Central Groundwater Basin was over drafted beginning in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. Today, the average retail customer agency in Central Basin relies on groundwater production for about 61 percent of its water supply. Although, there remain many agencies in Central Basin's service area that rely exclusively on groundwater to meet all current water needs.

Ultimately, the continuous and extensive over pumping of the Basin caused critically low groundwater levels. This over pumping of the Basin resulted in a legal judgment, or adjudication, that limited the allowable extraction that could occur in any given year and assigned water rights to basin pumpers.

The adjudicated water rights were greater than the Basin's yield. In essence, the Basin was operating with an annual overdraft. To address the overdraft, a strategy was developed to purchase imported and recycled water sources (APPENDIX H: CBMWD )
Although the water rights have been bought, sold, exchanged, or transferred through the years, the total amount of allowable extraction rights within the entire groundwater basin has remained virtually the same. However, not all holders of these rights are within the Central Basin service area.

Although most of the groundwater supply is extracted from the Central Basin, there are a number of water retailers that retain groundwater rights within the Main San Gabriel Basin (Main Basin) that are extracted and utilized within their Central Basin service area. Main Basin underlies most of the San Gabriel Valley, north of the Central Groundwater Basin. It is bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, the San Jose Hills to the east, the Puente Hills to the south and by the Raymond Fault and a series of other hills to the west. The total amount of water extracted from the Main Basin and sold within the Central Basin service area to all retailers was 16,441 AFY. Table 2.4 of the CBMWD 2025 UWMP displays the water sales from 2020 to 2025.

The total amount of groundwater produced in the Central Basin and the Main Basin has remained fairly consistent over the last five years. This is due mainly to the fact that both basins are adjudicated, so groundwater extractions in any given year are limited. The total amount of groundwater projected to be extracted during the next 25 years will also be consistent with a gradual increase, as shown in the CBMWD’s UWMP (Tables 2.8 and 2.9). The economic costs to pump groundwater versus the purchases of imported water will continue to pressure water retailers to maximize their groundwater rights.

5.2.2 Central Basin Municipal Water District
The CBMWD was established in 1952 by a vote of the people to help mitigate the over-pumping of underground water resources in southeast LA County. In 1954, CBMWD became a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), a public agency that owns aqueducts in the Central Basin and provides the region with imported water. As one of the largest member agencies of MWD, CBMWD’s purchases imported water from MWD and wholesales the water to Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 23 of 58
cities, mutual water companies, investor-owned utilities, and private companies. Proactively planning for the potential contamination of MWD’s water supply, CBMWD partnered with the City of Pico Rivera, City of Whittier, and Santa Fe Springs to establish the WQPP which provides these cities with another source of clean potable water for municipal, commercial, and industrial uses. The CBMWD also provides its customers with recycled water derived from the regional water reclamation plants and delivered through a separate non-potable system for landscape irrigation use. In 2014 the Watermaster Body was formed for the Central Basin. The PRWA is a member agency of the CBMWD.

The City of Pico Rivera is one of twenty-four cities in southeast Los Angeles County and is included in Central Basin Municipal Water District’s 227 square-mile service area. With naturally occurring recharge, enhanced by recharging efforts, groundwater supplies have generally been sufficient to meet water demands. The City purchases imported water for groundwater recharge through a replenishment assessment on each acre foot of groundwater extracted from the Central Basin. The City also purchases a small amount of recycled water from CBMWD for landscape irrigation use.

Table 3.2 of CBMWD’s 2020 UWMP in APPENDIX H: CBMWD presents its total wholesale supplies that CBWMD distributed 16,441 AF to retail agencies [including PRWA]; 53,988 to WRD for groundwater recharge; 165,619 in wholesale groundwater production; and the balance approximately 53,988 AF for municipal, industrial, agricultural and groundwater recharge at Montebello Forebay.

Table 3.5 of CBMWD 2020 in APPENDIX H: CBMWD shows the projected sources and volume of water that Central Basin expects to provide to its retail agencies. CBMWD’s project supply from all sources is projected to be approximately 308,033 AF in 2025. Of this quantity 71,770 AF is expected to be received from MWD, 174,925 AF is pumped from groundwater sources, recycled water and Montebello Forebay recharge water makes up approximately 54,597 AF.

5.2.3 Water Replenishment District of Southern California The Water Replenishment District of Southern California, also referred to as the District, is the largest groundwater agency in the State of California, managing and protecting local groundwater resources for over four million residents. WRD's service area spans across two groundwater basin (West Coast Groundwater Basin and Central Groundwater Basin) and covers 420-square-miles of southern Los Angeles County, the most populated county in the United States. Prior to the formation of the District in 1959, unregulated and unmanaged over-pumping caused many water wells to go dry. Along the coastline, groundwater levels dropped below sea level, allowing the salty ocean water to seep into and contaminate the freshwater aquifers.

The 43 cities in the WRD’s service area, including the entirety of the City of Pico Rivera, use about 250,000 acre-feet (82 billion gallons) of groundwater annually. This groundwater usage accounts for approximately half of the service areas water supply while imported water accounts for the other half of supplied water. The WRD works to ensure that a reliable supply of high-quality groundwater is available for its customers through the methods of recycling water and stormwater capture. WRD is responsible for monitoring and testing groundwater throughout the region using effective management principles. Pico Rivera is located inside the WRD’s Central Groundwater Basin and has the two spreading grounds in this basin for groundwater recharge: the Rio Hondo Spreading Grounds and the San Gabriel River Spreading Grounds on the easterly and westerly sides of the city.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 24 of 58
The WRD submits annual reports describing its replenishment operations and groundwater management activities. The following is an excerpt taken from the WRD March 2020 Engineering Survey and Report (ESR):

The CBWCB have an annual overdraft because more groundwater is pumped out than is typically replaced by natural means. The District purchases supplemental water (artificial replenishment water) each year to help offset this overdraft through managed aquifer recharge. The purchased water enters the groundwater basins at the Montebello Forebay spreading grounds, at the seawater barrier injection wells, and through the District's In-Lieu Program. The purpose of this Chapter is to determine the quantities of water needed to offset the overdraft in the ensuing [water year], the anticipated cost for that water, and the expected availability of that water.

Sources of Replenishment Water
The District currently has available to it recycled and imported water sources for use as artificial replenishment water. Starting in 2020, with the completion of WRD’s ARC facility, the District can plan on using 100% recycled water for its replenishment needs. This was a major accomplishment from the Water Independence Now initiative started over a decade ago. Since recycled water availability is reliant upon source water supply from water reclamation plants, imported water connections are kept current to possibly utilize that source should temporary needs arise. These two replenishment sources are described below:
• Recycled Water: Recycled water is wastewater from the sewer systems that is reclaimed and purified through extensive treatment at water reclamation plants (WRPs). The water is treated to high quality standards so that it can be reused safely, and offsets the need to use more expensive and sometimes less available imported water. Some agencies and businesses use recycled water for non-potable purposes, such as for irrigation of parks, golf courses, and street medians, or for industrial purposes (known as “purple-pipe projects”). WRD has successfully used recycled water for groundwater recharge since 1962. In semi-arid areas such as Southern California where groundwater and imported water are in short supply, recycled water has proven to be a safe and reliable additional resource to supplement the water supply. Recycled water is used at the spreading grounds and the seawater barrier injection wells and is high quality, relatively low cost, and a reliable supply all year long. As of 2020, the District has all applicable permits and treatment plants completed to plan on 100% recycled water for replenishment at the spreading grounds and seawater barrier wells. Imported water connections are kept current in case shortages of recycled water should occur. • Imported Water: River water originating in northern California (State Water Project and Los Angeles Aqueduct) and from western states (the Colorado River) is imported into Southern California through canals and aqueducts by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD or Met) and the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). MWD sells this water as-is (untreated raw river water) or after it treats the water to potable standards to their member agencies for multiple uses, including municipal, industrial, and groundwater recharge. When needed, WRD purchases raw imported water from the State Water Project at the spreading grounds (Colorado River Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 25 of 58
water is currently not available to WRD due to potential invasive Quagga Mussel issues) and uses treated potable water for injection at the seawater barrier wells and the In-Lieu program. Because of treatment and transportation costs, imported water is the most expensive type for groundwater replenishment. Prior to October 2011, MWD offered seasonally available discounted water that could be purchased for replenishment. In turn for the discount, it was considered by MWD to be interruptible, and they could stop deliveries at any time. But due to a lack of surplus supplies caused by drought and other factors, MWD has eliminated offering this type of discounted interruptible water.

Instead, replenishment agencies such as WRD must now purchase what is known as “Tier 1” or “Tier 2” water from MWD member agencies for spreading and In-Lieu. This water is at a higher price and relies on available allocation from the member agency. But, this Tier 1 or Tier 2 water is supposed to be firm delivery (not interruptible), although during extreme droughts MWD can implement a water supply allocation to reduce sales of imported water. The seawater barrier injection water has been Tier 1 treated water for decades and has to date not been interrupted by MWD.

Recommended Quantities of Replenishment Water
With the information presented in the preceding chapters regarding the pumping demands in the CBWCB, annual and accumulated overdraft, and the overall condition of the groundwater basins, WRD can estimate its projected need for replenishment water in the ensuing year.

Spreading
Groundwater recharge through surface spreading occurs intentionally in the Montebello Forebay Spreading Grounds adjacent to the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River, within the unlined portion of the San Gabriel River, and incidental recharge behind the Whittier Narrows Dam in the Whittier Narrows Reservoir. Owned by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) and operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW), they were originally constructed in 1938 for flood control and conservation of local storm water but have been used since the 1950s to replenish the basins with imported water and since 1962 with recycled water.

The District currently uses recycled water that has gone through tertiary treatment for most of its spreading needs. Since tertiary recycled water is a high quality, less expensive, and available year-round source of replenishment water, the District maximizes its use within established regulatory limits. These limits are discussed below under “Expected Availability of Replenishment Water”. The District’s permit allows up to 45% tertiary recycled water contribution over a 10-year (120-month) running average (see below under Expected Availability of Replenishment Water), with the remaining 55% being diluent (dilution) water consisting of stormwater, urban base flow, and/or imported water. Recently due to conservation, the amount of tertiary water available from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LASCD) San Jose Creek, Whittier, and Pomona water reclamation plants has been lower than in the past. Therefore, for the ensuing year, WRD is budgeting for 50,000 AF of tertiary recycled water for spreading.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 26 of 58
The District has also completed its Albert Robles Center for Water Recycling and Environmental Learning (ARC - formerly known as the Groundwater Replenishment Improvement Project or GRIP) in 2019, which uses tertiary recycled water as source water and provides additional treatment including ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis (RO), and ultraviolet advanced oxidation processes (UVAOP) to improve overall water quality. The advanced treated water will either be used for spreading and/or direct injection into the aquifers. The District anticipates 10,000 AF of ARC water in the ensuing year.

In addition, under an agreement with the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster related to the Whittier Narrows Operable Unit (WNOU), which is a groundwater containment and cleanup project to protect Central Basin from receiving contaminated groundwater originating in the Main San Gabriel Basin, any groundwater pumped out from the WNOU project that is discharged to lakes or rivers that then overflows into Central Basin and is lost from Main San Gabriel Basin, WRD will reimburse the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster for the cost of that water. The water that WRD receives is considered “Local Water” as it originated in San Gabriel Valley and is not imported water from MWD. This effort is necessary to protect Central Basin from receiving contaminated groundwater. This is a short-term agreement until the WNOU water is instead put to a beneficial use such as a drinking water source to Main San Gabriel Basin customers. For the ensuing year, the District estimates 1,400 AF of WNOU water. [Table 24] presents the anticipated replenishment needs at the spreading grounds.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 27 of 58
Table 24: Quantity of Water Required for Artificial Replenishment

Injection
Another way of replenishing the groundwater supply is to inject water at the three seawater intrusion barriers owned and operated by the LACDPW, including the West Coast Basin Barrier, Dominguez Gap Barrier, and Alamitos Barrier. Although the primary purpose of the barriers is for seawater intrusion control, groundwater replenishment also occurs as the freshwater is injected into the CBWCB aquifers and then moves inland towards pumping wells.

To determine the amount of barrier water needed for the ensuing year, WRD under an Agreement with LACDPW gets annual estimates from the expected demand at the barriers.

WRD reviews these estimates, reviews recent 5-year averages of actual injection amounts and make adjustments as necessary. For the ensuing year, WRD estimates the West Coast

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 28 of 58
Basin Barrier Project will require 17,000 AF. Source water is advanced treated recycled water from WBMWD’s Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility and, if needed, supplemental Tier 1 treated imported water from WBMWD. For the Dominguez Gap Barrier Project, a total of 7,800 AF is expected to be required. Source water is advanced treated recycled water from the City of Los Angeles’ Terminal Island Treatment Plant and, if needed, supplemental Tier 1 treated imported water from WBMWD. For the Alamitos Barrier Project, a total of 5,000 AF is expected to be required by WRD (does not include barrier water purchased by Orange County Water District for their side of the barrier). Source water is advanced treated recycled water from WRD’s Leo J. Vander Lans Water Treatment Facility and, if needed, supplemental Tier 1 treated imported water from the City of Long Beach.

The total barrier demand for WRD in the ensuing year is estimated at 29,800 AF [See Table 9 in ESR, or Table 24 herein].

In-Lieu Replenishment Water
The basic premise of WRD’s In-Lieu Program is to offset the pumping in the basin to lower the annual overdraft and reduce the artificial replenishment needs. It helps provide an alternate means of replenishing the groundwater supply by encouraging basin pumpers to purchase imported water when available instead of pumping groundwater. This can help raise water levels in areas that are otherwise more difficult to address. MWD has ceased providing seasonally discounted water for the In-Lieu program since 2011, so WRD’s program has been put on hold with the exception of a few localized projects with the City of Long Beach. For the ensuing year, WRD is not planning on any In-Lieu programs, although may consider new programs if opportunities arise.

Expected Availability of Replenishment Water
The availability of water supplies for the ensuing FY has been taken into account when determining how funds should be raised. If a particular resource is expected to be unavailable during a given year, money can still be raised to fund the purchase of that quantity of water in a succeeding year.

Recycled Water
Recycled water is reliable all year round but its use for recharge is capped by regulatory limits.

The current limits for tertiary recycled water spreading in the Montebello Forebay are established by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and are detailed in Order No. 91-100 adopted on September 9, 1991 with amendments on April 2, 2009 under Order No. R4-2009-0048 and June 4, 2013 (letter approval from RWQCB Executive Officer). On April 10, 2014, under Order No. R4-2009-0048-A-01, the RWQCB approved a request by WRD to increase the allowable percentage of recycled water to be recharged at the Montebello Forebay spreading grounds from 35% to 45% over a 10-year (120-month) running average. This major action will allow continued use of historic amounts of recycled water for longer periods of time should extended droughts return like the 2011-

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 29 of 58
2016 five year drought, and might allow for additional recycled water for recharge should normal to wet hydrologic conditions return. This will allow WRD to continue to maximize use of recycled water for groundwater recharge as part of its WIN initiative.

The SDLAC provides the recycled water to WRD for spreading by LACDPW. This water comes from the Whittier Narrows Water Reclamation Plant (WNWRP), San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant (SJCWRP), and Pomona Water Reclamation Plant (PWRP). For planning purposes in the ensuing year, due to conservation and lower amounts of available tertiary water, the District assumes it will purchase 50,000 AF and 10,000 AF of additional water for the ARC facility (formerly named GRIP).

Recycled water for injection into the seawater barrier wells comes from different agencies depending on the specific barrier. At the WCBBP, the water Is provided by WBMWD's Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility. Per regulatory limits, this resource can provide up to 100% recycled water to the Barrier.

Recycled water for the DGBP is available from the City of Los Angeles’ Terminal Island Treatment Plant (Harbor Recycled Water Project). In 2016 the plant was permitted by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board to provide the barrier with 100% recycled water.

Recycled water for the ABP is available from WRD's Leo J. Vander Lans Water Treatment Facility. This treatment plant was permitted to provide up to 100% of the barrier with recycled water in 2014.

Although the three barriers are permitted for 100% recycled water, should source water become unavailable due to temporary plant shutdowns for maintenance or other purposes, imported water may be provided as an alternate for a limited time.

Imported Water
If imported water should become desired or necessary at the spreading grounds, WRD is able to purchase untreated Tier 1 water from CBMWD, treated Tier 1 water for the In-Lieu program through Met-member agencies, and treated Tier 1 water for the seawater barrier wells from WBMWD or City of Long Beach. However, since the completion of WRD’s WIN initiative by having all three barriers permitted for 100% recycled water and the ARC facility coming online with advanced treated recycled water, WRD is not anticipating the need for imported water on a regular basis at this time.

Projected Cost of Replenishment Water
WRD has estimated it will need 91,200 AF of replenishment water in the ensuing year to help overcome the annual overdraft. WRD purchases replenishment water from MWD member agencies and recycled water providers. These agencies set the price for the replenishment water that WRD buys for the spreading grounds, seawater barrier injection wells, and In-Lieu water when available. The cost for replenishment water is a direct pass-through from WRD Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 30 of 58
to the water suppliers on WRD’s replenishment assessment. For the recycled water source water to feed WRD’s ARC project and the Leo J. Vander Lans facility, the cost of that source water is part of the separate operations budget for those facilities and are not part of the water purchase budget which is shown on Table 2 [in ESR, (Table 26 herein)].

Using currently available information and estimates for the cost of replenishment water to WRD in the ensuing year, the estimated cost of water is $34,132,691 which is a 1.1% decrease from the previous year (2018/19). Tables 1 and 2 [in ESR, (Table 25 and Table 26 herein)] provide a detailed breakdown of these costs.

These estimated costs are for water purchases only and do not include the additional costs for projects and programs related to water replenishment and water quality. These projects and programs are presented in Chapter 5 [of the ESR]. The costs for these projects and programs are discussed separately in District budget workshops, Finance Committee meetings, Board of Directors’ meetings, Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) meetings, and other public meetings and combined with these water costs before the Board adopts the Replenishment Assessment (RA) for the ensuing Fiscal Year.

5.2.4 PRWA Well Supply System
The assets included in the PRWA water supply system includes eight (8) active groundwater wells, four (4) inactive groundwater wells, three (3) water storage tanks, and three (3) booster pump stations.

All the wells pull groundwater from the Central Basin aquifer and are treated with chlorine. The three welded-steel storage tanks make up a total storage capacity of 0.96 million gallons. The booster pump stations all have the same general layout – 2 large fire pumps and 1 small jockey pump. The fire pumps are kept on stand-by for fire use while the jockey pumps are used to maintain a system pressure above 60 psi. Table 27 below summarizes the PRWA supply assets.

With the existing active groundwater wells, PRWA can completely meet their drinking water demands.

Table 28 below summarized the volume of groundwater PRWA has pumped out of the Central Basin aquifer over the past five (5) years. PRWA has an annual pumping allocation of 5,579 AF, which is set by the CBMWD. Between 2021 and 2025, PRWA decreased water production by approximately 10%.

Table 29 below projects the volume of groundwater PRWA is expected to pump over the next 20- years. There is a gradual increase of groundwater being pumped out of the Central Basin, however, if PRWA continues to expand their use of recycled water (purchased from CBMWD) for applications such as irrigation, the demand on the groundwater reservoir should decrease.

Table 29: Volume of Groundwater Projected to be Pumped Over the Next 20-Years Groundwater Basin Total Projected Volume to be Pumped Each Year (AF) 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045

Source: PRWA SCADA Data and customer growth population projections.

Considering that the projected annual pumping volumes do not exceed the allowable pumping allocation of 5,579 AFY, therefore, PRWA is not expected to need alternative water sources to meet future demands. The only legal constraints to groundwater supply are the APA, as provided under the adjudication of the Central Basin. As stated above, the WRD manages the ongoing artificial recharge activities within the Central Basin groundwater area. Central Basin groundwater users have the ability to extract up to 20 percent above their APA provided the over-extraction can be made up the following year. In addition, WRD allows Central Basin users to carryover up to 20 percent of their APA into the next year. In other words, the carryover supply is only available in the following year and cannot be added to previous carryover supplies. Currently, if an agency exceeds its APA and does not possess carryover quantities from under pumping in previous years, it must lease unused APA from other overlying entities. It is generally understood that several thousand-acre feet of APA are reportedly available for lease purchases each year. The WRD also allows for increased pumping under specific (dry year) conditions as discussed in its ESR. Historically when additional supplies beyond the base allotment of 5,579 AFY are required to meet demand, the PRWA has been able to lease groundwater water rights from other Central Basin groundwater users that have surplus supplies available.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 34 of 58

5.3 Transfer or Exchange Opportunities
Starting in August of 2019, the PRWA entered into an agreement with Liberty Utilities to lease them from Pico Rivera’s water rights. This is the only transfer/exchange of water supply within the system, however, there may be opportunities in the future that would allow additional transfers/exchanges of water supply. In 2023-2024, Liberty Utilities leased 500 AF of water rights from PRWA.

Transfer Agency Transfer or Exchange Short term or Long term Proposed Volume Liberty Utilities Transfer Short Term 500-1000 AFY

5.4 Desalination
Desalination of water is not currently considered a viable treatment option for PRWA. There is no impaired or brackish groundwater pumped into the system.

5.5 Recycled Water Supply
CBMWD operates a large regional recycled water system. PRWA currently receives recycled water from CBMWD. In order to continually optimize the use of recycled water to offset demands on the potable water system, PRWA coordinated as needed with local agencies responsible for water supply and wastewater collection and distribution. [Table 31] lists these agencies and their responsibilities.

Table 31: Participating Agencies
Agency Type Agency Name Agency Role
Water Wholesaler Central Basin Municipal Water District Provided recycled water supply and demand information
Wastewater L.A. County Sanitation Districts (2, 18) Provided recycled water supply and demand information
Other Public Constituencies Provided recycled water supply and demand information

5.5.1 Wastewater Collection and Treatment
The estimated sewer service population is approximately the same as the number of water customers. Within PRWA’s service area, the City is responsible for wastewater collection and conveyance to the LACSD San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant, located in unincorporated Los Angeles County, next to the City of Whittier. LACSD also treats wastewater from several other municipalities. LACSD discharges treated effluent into the ocean and provides recycled water for use in groundwater recharge and irrigation of parks, schools, and greenbelts.

PRWA does not meter sewer flows as they leave the system, therefore, the sewer volumes were taken from the 2020 Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP). In the WWMP, sewer volumes were estimated using land use classifications in which flow was assigned on a per-unit basis. Comparing the 2025 sewer volume estimates with the 2025 water consumption data, the sewer volume is approximately 67% of the water that was consumed within the service area (i.e. not including outside sales).

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 35 of 58
The wastewater generated is estimated based on the given population number and a per capita generation rate and industrial waste generation rates from a calibrated hydraulic flow model currently in use by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The hydraulic flow model was calibrated against measured wastewater flow rates in Sanitation District No. 2, which includes the City of Pico Rivera. Table 32 shows the past and future sewer volumes expected in PRWA.

2. Based on data from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District Within PRWA’s service area, discharge of treated wastewater is regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. In general, the majority of the wastewater generated and treated during the summer months is used for alternative beneficial uses such as wetland habitat and restoration and irrigation for golf courses. The use of the recycled water helps supply part of the water demand of other agencies during the peak summer months.

Wastewater collected by LACSD and sent to the San Jose Creek WRP as shown in Table 26, including discharges of PRWA wastewater, is treated to a blend of advanced primary, secondary levels, and tertiary treatment.

As stated in the LACSD FY21-22 Annual Reuse Report, of the 71,235 AFY of wastewater treated at the San Jose Creek WRP plant, approximately 61,776 AFY was reused across 204 different sites.

5.5.2 Recycled Water Use
There are currently eight locations throughout the PRWA service area that receive recycled water for irrigation:

1. Rio Hondo Park

2. Montebello Garden Elementary

5.5.3 Potential Recycled Water Uses
Potential recycled water use includes adding locations where potable water can be replaced by recycled water. These locations predominantly include irrigation with some possibility of commercial use.

The CBMWD provides all recycled water to PRWA that is used across the eight (8) existing sites.

However, the Pico Rivera Golf Course was closed in 2020 so the land could be used as a staging area for the Whittier Narrows Dam Improvements being conducted by the Army Corp. of Engineers. After the project is complete, the golf course is pending its reopening. When it is open, PRWA expects the recycled water usage at the site to remain the same.

There are several locations in PRWA that have the potential for future recycled water use, however, the extensive length of pipe that would be required to convey the water to the proposed sites does not make them feasible potential customers at this time. Table 34 below lists the potential users and their feasibility for future recycled water use.

CHAPTER 6: WATER SERVICE

RELIABILITY

6.1 Reliability of Water Supply
The Act states that every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its plan, an assessment of the reliability of its water supplies. The water supply and demand assessment must compare the total projected water use with the expected water supply over the next 25 years in 5-year increments. This reliability assessment is required for normal, single dry-year and multiple dry water years.

PRWA uses deep groundwater exclusively and has 100 percent reliability regardless of droughts.

During short-term periods of water supply reductions, PRWA would implement its water shortage contingency plan, which is presented in APPENDIX D: WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN.

The tables presented in this Section show projected demand and supply during normal years, dry years, and multiple dry years. The projected supply in these tables is equal to the projected demand.

If PRWA’s future demands are slightly more or less than currently projected, it is anticipated that the supply portfolio maintained by PRWA will be flexible enough to continue to meet the demands (see

6.3 Future Single-Dry Year: Supply and Demand).

For the purposes of estimating demands, base water years are defined in Table 38. The "Normal Water Year" used in this plan is based on the average rainfall year FY 2009 - 2010. According to the National Weather Service, the recorded rainfall in FY 2009 - 2010 was 16.36 inches at the Los Angeles Civic Center. One of the closest years to the historical average of 15.38 inches. The "Single Dry Year" is based on the lowest rainfall year FY 2006 - 2007. The recorded rainfall in FY 2006 - 2007 was only

3.21 inches, the lowest recorded year in Los Angeles history. The five "Multiple Dry Water Years" used below is consistent with the CBMWD.

Year 4 1991

Note: Consistent with CBMWD 2020 UWMP Table 3.6
Recycled water demands are to be met with recycled water from CBMWD. During dry periods, many conservation measures are focused on reducing outdoor water use, which does not contribute to wastewater flow. In addition, because both of these plants are scalping plants, the recycled water output is limited by the treatment capacity and not by the supply of raw wastewater. Therefore, PRWA’s recycled supply is not expected to be subject to reduction during dry periods. Water supply reliability based on an average water year is summarized in Table 39.

6.2 Future Normal Water Year: Supply and Demand
PRWA’s potable water supply is expected to continue to be supplied by groundwater from the Central Basin. Recycled water will provide additional supply.

In 2020, PRWA’s demand was 4,310 acre-feet. Over the last five years demand has decreased by approximately [147] AFY in [2025]. The water supply and demand assessment must compare the total projected water use with the expected water supply over the next 20 years in 5-year increments. This reliability assessment is required for normal, single dry-year and multiple dry water years. The Central Basin groundwater is expected to be reliable in all years and over the 25-year planning horizon.

Groundwater supplies are expected to remain constant and stable due to the adjudication of the Central Basin. Furthermore, groundwater is assumed to be drought-resistant and can be relied on under all hydrologic conditions.

The projected supply and demand under normal, single and multiple dry years conditions are shown in Table 42, Table 43, and Table 44. As shown in Table 42 the results of the comparison show a projected surplus in all years beginning in [2025] and extending to [2045]. It is important to note that Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 40 of 58
this long-term projection may not hold true if increasing densification within PRWA’s service area increases demand above 5,779 AFY. However, this does not account for water use efficiencies through active and passive conservation measures that could reduce annual demand below the demand projections shown in Table 42.

Note: Customer growth projections were used to determine demand over a 25-year planning horizon.

6.3 Future Single-Dry Year: Supply and Demand
During a dry year it is expected for water demands to increase slightly as irrigation is likely to increase to off-set low precipitation levels. As such, water demands shown in Table 42 are expected to increase by approximately 5% during a single-dry year. As shown in Table 43 the results of the comparison show a projected surplus in each single dry year beginning in [2025] and extending to [2045]. It is important to note that this long-term projection may not hold true if increasing densification within PRWA’s service area increases demand above 5,779 AFY. However, these projections do not account for water use efficiencies through active and passive conservation measures that could reduce annual demand below the demand projections shown in Table 43.

Note: Customer growth projections were used to determine demand over a 25-year planning horizon.

6.4 Five-Consecutive Dry Years: Supply and Demand
As part of the Act water agencies are to project supply and demand during five-consecutive dry years.

The first dry-year demand was assumed to be approximately 5% higher than the demand during a normal year. The demand for the remaining four-consecutive dry years is assumed to be approximately 1% higher than the previous year’s demand. The recycled water supply is considered Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 41 of 58
to be “drought-proof” and therefore not subject to reduction. The results of the comparison show a projected surplus in all dry years. It is important to note that this long-term projection may not hold true if increasing densification within PRWA’s service area increases demand above [5,654] AFY.

However, these projections do not account for water use efficiencies through active and passive conservation measures that could reduce annual demand below the demand projections shown in Table 44.

Drought is a climate-related hazard that can last for months or years and have a cascading impact on several industries, including the public water supply. With the changing climate, droughts may become a more common occurrence and, therefore, a better understanding of the potential hazards, indicators, and effects on the potable and non-potable water system are more critical than ever.

There are three types of droughts that will be evaluated: meteorological, soil moisture, and hydrological drought. Meteorological drought occurs in a region when there is an elevated level of dryness (compared to a “normal” year) due to lack of precipitation. Soil moisture drought, also known as agricultural drought, is defined as a period of reduced soil moisture which can result from elevated levels of evaporation, or below-average precipitation in either volume or duration. Hydrological drought is caused by period(s) of precipitation deficit and causes streams/rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater sources to drop below “historical” levels. Periods of hydrological drought develop at a slower rate than other types of droughts because it includes water storage that continues to be depleted but not replenished. CBMWD is a water wholesaler that provides imported water to PRWA meaning that any drought observed by Pico Rivera will also affect the Central Groundwater basin. Therefore, the following section was taken from the 2020 CBMWD Urban Water Management Plan.

New to the 2020 UWMP is the Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) over a 5-year period examining the reliability of CBMWD’s water supplies. Table 45 shows the results of the analysis. The analysis was done utilizing DWR’s DRA Planning Tool to determine supply and demand projections, and to analyze CBMWD’s vulnerability to droughts. The tool also allows water purveyors to utilize potential water usage saving or supply augmentation methods to mitigate supply shortfalls. These water usages saving methods (restrictions) are further discussed in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). As shown, CBMWD is capable

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2026 Page 42 of 58
to meet the projected demands based on the estimated water supplies during drought conditions without the need for WSCP stage implementation.

Table 45: CBMWD's Five-Year Drought Risk Assessment.

As a matter of practice, MWD does not provide annual estimates of the minimum supplies available to its member agencies. As such, MWD member agencies must develop their own estimates. As captured in its 2020 UWMP, MWD believes that the water supply and demand management actions it is undertaking will increase its reliability throughout the 25-year period addressed in its plan. Thus, for purposes of this estimate, it is assumed that MWD and CBMWD will be able to maintain the identified supply amounts throughout the five-year period.

Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
Due to the proximity to the San Andreas Fault System and the presence of liquefaction areas within the city, the PRWA is in an area with higher risk for earthquakes. Figure 4 below illustrates the liquefaction areas in and around Pico Rivera. Figure 3 below is an enlarged picture of the Pico Rivera area taken from Figure 5. Figure 5 is the hazard map generated by the California Department of Conservation Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment. The Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment calculated seismic hazards by evaluating earthquake history and fault slip rates.

Water systems are especially vulnerable to damage caused by seismic activity as disruption to this service would cause general economic disturbances. The water infrastructure that is likely to be damaged during an earthquake includes water mains, service connections, wells, and storage tanks.

The PRWA system is sufficiently looped with limited dead end water mains, which allows water to flow several directions throughout the system so to that if a water main or well were damaged by an earthquake, other wells and distribution routes can supply the needed water. If all wells are damaged during an earthquake, the City has the ability to purchase water from the CBMWD in addition to other surrounding water agencies, and have the purchased water delivered via existing interconnections along the eastern border of the Pico Rivera.

In the event of a regional power outage, the City will deploy emergency generators to the water treatment plants. The treatment plants should be prioritized over the other well sites since they have water storage tanks attached. It would be important for the City to fill these tanks in a regional power outage so fire flow volume is present if needed. Additional information on other regional contingency strategies can be found in APPENDIX H: CBMWD . The City’s 2020 Risk and Resilience Assessment on the potable water system is included in APPENDIX I: 2020 RISK AND RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 46 of 58
CHAPTER 7: WATER

SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY

PLANNING
This section describes PRWA’s water shortage planning efforts. Water shortages may result from weather variations and catastrophes such as pipeline failures, supply contamination, and earthquakes.

During periods of drought, PRWA will utilize its Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), as adopted in 1992.

City Ordinance No. 826 stipulates the use of a four-stage rationing plan to be used in case of water shortage. The rationing plan utilizes both voluntary and mandatory water rationing depending on the severity of the water shortage.

It is highly unlikely that PRWA’s ability to pump groundwater would be impeded by natural disasters for more than several days as studies indicate that groundwater wells would probably be back in operation within five days of a severe earthquake.

PRWA storage reservoirs hold treated potable water capable of providing all PRWA customers with 45 GPCD for 12 hours, in case of emergency. Therefore, if well site production was stopped due to electrical failure or transmission line malfunctions, these reservoirs would be the key water supply sources to the PRWA service area.

7.1 Stages of Action
The Act requires that urban water agencies conduct a water shortage contingency analysis as part of their 2010 UWMP. In 1992, PRWA adopted a 4-stage WSCP in response to California Assembly Bill Number 11. The 2018 Water Conservation Legislation (Senate Bill 606 and Assembly Bill 1668), which amended California Water Code Section 10632 required a 6-stage WCSP. As part of the 2020 UWMP, PRWA produced this 6-stage WSCP. The WSCP is intended to conservatively manage PRWA water resources to provide water to its customers on an equitable and business-sound basis, in the event of a curtailment of deliveries of up to 50 percent. Table 46 shows the water supply stages and conditions for the PRWA.

Table 46: Water Shortage Contingency - Rationing Stages to Address Water Supply Shortages.

7.2 Estimate of Minimum Supply for Next Three Years
The Act requires the minimum supply available be estimated during the next three year. It is suggested that the estimate be based on the driest three-year historic sequence for the water supply. PRWA’s supply of potable water comes from their groundwater wells. Central Basin is Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 47 of 58
expected to provide sufficient water to its member agencies even during dry years.

Table 47 shows the estimated minimum supply the PRWA could expect to have in the event of a supply reduction in the Central Basin.

PRWA’s recycled supply is currently provided by CBMWD. During a drought event, reduced water consumption could lead to reduced raw wastewater flows. However, much of the reduction in water use is expected to come through a reduction in outdoor use, which should not impact wastewater flows. The supply of recycled water is considered to remain constant during multiple dry years.

Note: Contract agreements determine quantities of leased extractions.

7.3 Catastrophic Supply Interruption Plan
Catastrophic events such as earthquakes or regional power outages can impact water supply. PRWA developed its Emergency Response Plan (ERP) (included in APPENDIX E: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN) to meet emergencies within its service area and has updated the plan, as necessary. The ERP provides information on PRWA operations, assigns responsibilities, and establishes general policies and procedures associated with operations during natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense emergencies.

PRWA has storage reservoirs to provide water during an interruption to supply. These reservoirs hold treated potable water capable of providing all PRWA customers with 45 GPCD for 12 hours. PRWA has also established minor emergency interconnections with the City of Whittier and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company for use during short-term outages. These minor interconnections are intended for emergencies. During an extended outage or drought, these neighboring agencies may not have sufficient supply at these minor interconnections to share significant amounts with PRWA.

Table 48 summaries various possible catastrophes and a summary of the actions that would be taken in response.

Table 48: Preparation Actions for a Catastrophe
Possible Catastrophe Summary of Actions
Fire
For motors and switchgear (including well facilities, pumps, or control centers), staff are not allowed to enter the site. Staff will notify the fire authority and be available to assist, as necessary. For fires in the motor or switchgear, where possible, the main electrical breaker should be turned off.

Earthquake
Staff will take appropriate defensive measures until the earthquake has passed. After an earthquake, pumps, wells, control cabinets, reservoirs, and pipelines will be inspected for damage. Preparation will be initialized for the isolation of the reservoir water supply and prepared for emergency distribution.

Flooding
Sandbagging will be used, where feasible, to protect PRWA facilities. Motors or electrical switchgears that could come in contact with floodwaters will be turned off, and the main breakers will be deactivated. After a flood, well and distribution system samples will be taken to ensure water quality has not been compromised. If contamination is present, Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 48 of 58

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 49 of 58
immediate action will be taken, including additional chlorination, flushing, activation of interconnections, public notification, and/or boil water orders.

Sabotage of Water
Supplies
If there is evidence of tampering, such as an open or damaged reservoir hatch, apparent tampering with wells or pumps, suspicious containers left on site, or water having a strange odor or color, the following steps must be taken:
• Isolate the affected system
• Immediately notify your supervisor and management
• Isolate the area and notify local law enforcement officials • Collect water samples for analysis.
• Notify the Health Department.
• Notify the public, as appropriate
• Flush and chlorinate, as appropriate
The system will be returned to service only after testing has deemed it safe.

System
Contamination
For contamination within the distribution system, reservoir, or wells, the procedures in the Emergency Chlorination Plan will be followed.

Disruption of Supply
In the event of supply due to issues such as well failure, commercial power failure, and pipeline failure, emergency generators will be activated. If the problem involves the operation of a well, a well/pump repair company will be contacted for assistance.

Civil Disorder In the event of civil disorder, PRWA facilities will remain locked and, as practical, staffed by PRWA staff. Additional private security guards will be hired as required.

Disruption of
Distribution Pumping
For disruptions in distribution pumping, such as a fire at a well site, staff will first contact his or her superintendent to inform the superintendent of the situation. After calling for assistance, the site will be shut down, and an alternate well will be activated, after which the chlorine residual will be checked.

Main Breaks
Repairs of main breaks will be immediately initiated and repaired by PRWA staff, unless the General Manager or the field superintendent deems that assistance is necessary. A PRWA representative will monitor the repair activity to ensure that all repair work is in accordance with AWWA and PRWA standards.

Damaged or Sheered
Fire Hydrant
Damaged/sheered hydrants shall be isolated by closing the hydrant lateral valve, and repairs will be made thereafter. If repairs cannot be made, the area will be delineated and secured, and a bag will be placed over the hydrant to prevent usage. Staff will immediately notify the local fire authority of the hydrant’s location, and that it is out of service.

Commercial Power
Outages
Staff will contact the Southern California Edison (SCE) to determine the anticipated outage duration. Two diesel-powered generators are permanently installed at two well sites to provide power for distribution pumping, and two other well sites are equipped with a natural gas engines that are designed to run in the case of a power outage. Currently, the City is in the design phase to add backup generators for use at other City well sites. Once power has been restored, time will be allowed to let the SCE system stabilize, and then the generator and natural gas engine will be stopped.

Building Evacuation
For a building evacuation, staff shall follow the posted evacuation route to the assigned staging area. The evacuation commander will sound the evacuation alarm and oversee the evacuation. If it is safe to do so, gas and electrical service to the building will be shut off.

Possible Catastrophe Summary of Actions
Bomb Threats
All bomb threats are taken seriously. For an occupied building, the building must be evacuated until the threat is alleviated. PRWA management, local police, and local fire authorities must be immediately notified of the threat. PRWA employees are not allowed to try to disable a suspected bomb or suspicious device, and the area will be secured, allowing access only to authorized personnel.

Emergency Water
Disbursement
If it is impossible to distribute water through the normal distribution system, emergency water distribution is possible from the reservoir. PRWA staff will create a distribution center to supply water requests from reservoir taps.

Emergency
Notification
For emergency events requiring public notification, PRWA will follow the directions ascribed by the state health department. As necessary, electronic media, radio and television, and print media (in both English and Spanish) will be utilized. Two vehicles with loudspeakers will also be available to notify residents of the emergency and any special Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 50 of 58
circumstances such as water conservation requests. This should be accomplished within

2.5 hours.

The following excerpt from the 2020 CBMWD UWMP details the plans in place by the wholesale water agencies if there were a catastrophic interruption to the water supply.

MWD has comprehensive plans for stages of actions it would undertake to address a catastrophic interruption in water supplies through its WSDM and WSAP Plans. MWD also developed an Emergency Storage Objective to mitigate potential interruption in water supplies resulting from catastrophic occurrences within the Southern California region, including seismic events along the San Andreas Fault. In addition, MWD is working with the state to implement a comprehensive improvement plan to address catastrophic occurrences that could occur outside of the Southern California region, such as a probable maximum seismic event in the Delta, which could cause levee failure and disruption of SWP deliveries.

In July 2019, MWD’s Board adopted amendments to their Administrative Code allowing deliveries of member agency water supplies in MWD’s system during an emergency. With these enabled deliveries, MWD’s member agencies will be able to deliver their water through MWD’s system under specific emergency conditions. Emergency deliveries using a portion of MWD’s system can only be made if MWD is unable to make deliveries to a member agency due to physical damage to its system resulting from a natural disaster or other emergency, and there are no alternatives.

In the event imported water supplies are interrupted by a catastrophic event, CBMWD, through coordination with MWD, can respond at both a regional and local level.

In the event that an emergency, such as an earthquake or system failure, affects the entire southern California region, MWD would take the lead and activate its Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The EOC coordinates MWD’s and CBMWD’s responses to the emergency and concentrates efforts to ensure the system can begin distributing potable water in a timely manner.

If circumstances render the southern California’s aqueducts out of service, MWD’s Diamond Valley Lake is expected to provide emergency storage supplies for its entire service area’s firm demand for up to six months. With few exceptions, MWD can deliver this emergency supply throughout its service area via gravity flow, thereby eliminating dependence on power sources that could also be disrupted. Furthermore, should additional supplies be needed, MWD also has surface reservoirs and groundwater conjunctive use storage accounts that can be drawn upon to meet demands. The WSDM Plan guides MWD’s management of available supplies and resources during an emergency to minimize the impacts of a catastrophic event.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 51 of 58
MWD’s system under specific emergency conditions. Emergency deliveries using a portion of MWD’s system can only be made if MWD is unable to make deliveries to a member agency due to physical damage to its system resulting from a natural disaster or other emergency, and there are no alternatives.

7.4 Prohibitions, Penalties, and Consumption Reduction Methods PRWA has established a water shortage management plan that becomes effective during different stages of water shortage. Mandatory prohibitions on water usage during water shortages apply to all PRWA customers. The mandatory prohibitions are shown in Table 49.

Table 49: Water Shortage Contingency - Mandatory Prohibitions Prohibitions

The PRWA may impose surcharges or other penalties for noncompliance with the requirements or prohibitions in accordance with Chapter 13 of its Municipal Code. PRWA’s current rate structure consists of a fixed monthly rate (based on meter size) plus a consumption charge based on actual water delivered. Each PRWA customer has an allotment based on seasonal patterns and each customer shall be notified of their classification and allotment by mail before the water shortage emergency takes effect. New customers and connections will be notified at the commencement of service. For all PRWA customers, an excess use penalty per hundred-cubic-feet (HCF) of water will be applied for water used beyond the applicable allocation. After one written warning, PRWA may fine and/or install a flow-restricting device on the service line of any customer observed by PRWA staff to be using water for any non-essential or unauthorized use.

7.5 Revenue Impacts of Reduced Sales During Shortages
Anticipated shortfalls in projected revenue due to water supply shortages would need to be covered through increased water rates and/or an advance from funds set aside by PRWA. PRWA receives 93 percent of its normal annual revenues from monthly charges. Surplus revenues are used to fund the water system capital improvements. Anticipated shortfalls in projected revenue due to water supply shortages are covered through an emergency fund, which is maintained at 75 percent of normal PRWA annual revenue. However, a rate increase could still be needed during a prolonged water shortage. Recommended percent increases during Stages 1 through 4 are 15, 25, 50, and 100 percent, with the maintenance of a fifteen (15) percent increase over pre- shortage rates to recover lost revenues. The impacts of such a reduction on the PRWA’s revenue are shown in Table 51.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 53 of 58
Measures to overcome expenditure impacts and estimated dollar savings are provided in Table 52.

Table 51: Actions and Conditions that Impact Revenues
Measure Summary of Effects
Emergency Fund
PRWA has an emergency fund to be used in times of drought and emergencies to offset the loss of revenue. PRWA could also advance funds from its General Fund for the loss of essential revenue.

Rate adjustment
In 2013 and again in 2014, PWRA adopted a new water rate case to increase operating revenues to fund continuing escalating operational and water costs and to fund capital improvement projects. In 2021, PWRA approved a multi-year rate increase. The initial 10% increase took effect on July 1, 2021. It authorized automated 10% compound increases every subsequent July 1st through July 1, 2025. In periods of a prolonged water shortage a short-term rate increase could still be needed to recover lost revenues. Recommended percent increases during Stages 1 through 4 are 15, 25, 50, and 100 percent, with the maintenance of a fifteen (15) percent increase over pre-shortage rates.

IMPACTS ON RELIABILITY
The PRWA is committed to providing their customers with quality water that meet or exceed state and federal standards. Over the past few years, more studies have been conducted to evaluate the overall harmfulness and removal of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water.

PFAS are man-made organic chemicals commonly found in industrial processes and household products: cleaning products, stain and water repellant fabrics, nonstick products, polishes, waxes, firefighting foams, food packaging, electronics manufacturing, and many others. These products can contaminate soils and water causing adverse health effects when absorbed by plants or ingested by animals or humans. While the effects of PFAS are still being investigated, it was found that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), the two most common types of PFAS, can cause high cholesterol levels, low infant birth weights, effects on the immune system, cancer (PFOA), and thyroid issues (PFOS) in humans. Additional health issues have developed in animals as well.

The EPA released The Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 3) on May 2, 2012 which included a list of 21 ‘List 1’ chemical contaminants to undergo Assessment Monitoring. Six of those contaminants are PFAS compounds which include PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, PFHxS, PFHpA, and PFBS. UCMR 3 specified Minimum Reporting Levels (MRL) for all six of these PFAS compounds which are summarized in Table 54.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposed interim MRLs to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in July 2018. The interim MRLs were adopted by the SWRCB at limits of 14 ng/L for PFOA and 13 ng/L for PFOS. The OEHHA stressed that these limits may be followed by the establishment of regulatory limits. There was also a response level limit established for combined PFOA and PFOS set at 70 ng/L. On August 23, 2019, the OEHHA recommended for the SWRCB to reduce the MRLs for PFOA and PFOS to 5.1 ng/L and 6.5 ng/L, respectively. The California Division of Drinking Water (DDW), as a division of the SWRCB, adopted the OEHHA recommended limits. These limits are the lowest that these compounds can be reliably detected in drinking water.

In early 2020, the DDW finished collecting several rounds of water sampling data throughout the state of California. The sampling discovered nine total PFAS compounds present in the State’s water supply, including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFBS, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFNA, PFDA, and ADONA. PFOA and PFOS already have established MRLs, therefore, the DDW wrote a letter to the OEHHA on February 6, 2020 requesting MRLs for the remaining seven PFAS compounds. PFHxS, PFBS, PFHpA, and PFNA are all listed as UCMR 3 contaminants, while PFHxA, PFDA, and ADONA were listed as contaminant candidates for UCMR 5. On April 5, 2024, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) officially adopted long-awaited Public Health Goals (PHGs) for PFOA (0.007 ppt) and PFOS (1 ppt). These PHGs now serve as the mandatory foundation for California to establish its own enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). Furthermore, on October 29, 2025, the DDW issued updated advisory thresholds that lowered the state's notification levels to 4 ppt for both PFOA and PFOS. Individual response levels are now established at 10 ppt for PFOA and 40 ppt for PFOS, eliminating the previous combined limit. The scope of state oversight has also expanded past Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 55 of 58
the original two compounds: PFHxS has a notification level of 3 ppt (with a PHG request submitted to OEHHA in May 2025), while PFHxA has been assigned a notification level of 1,000 ppt (1 ppb) and a response level of 10,000 ppt (10 ppb). Concurrently, the federal Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) concluded data collection, and the U.S. EPA finalized a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation setting nationwide enforceable MCLs for six PFAS compounds. The historical reporting limits and newly revised advisory thresholds for these PFAS compounds are summarized in Table 54.

As part of the 2025 Water Master Plan Update, various treatment options to remove PFAS from drinking water were evaluated. These evaluations will serve as the foundation for design and construction of PFAS treatment in the future. With these plans for treatment, PRWA’s water supply is not considered subject to reduction due to poor water quality.

Groundwater in the Central Basin is continually monitored because of its susceptibility to seawater intrusion, potential contamination from adjacent basins and migration of shallow contamination into deeper aquifers. The Alamitos Barrier, located in the southwest portion of Central Basin's service area, provides a buffer between the groundwater basin and seawater intrusion. The available supply of replenishment water to physically recharge the Basin includes local and imported water. The local water that recharges the groundwater basin comes from storm flows from the San Gabriel Valley and flow obligations under the San Gabriel River Judgment with the Upper Area of the Central Basin. This water is defined as "Make-Up Water." Imported Water is purchased from MWD to be used for surface spreading at the Montebello Forebay and for seawater barrier injection at the Alamitos Barrier.

Recycled water is purchased from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts for spreading and injection. The Central Groundwater Basin has very good water quality overall. However, there are several contaminants (Perchlorate, Manganese, and the Volatile Organic Compounds [PCE and TCE]) in isolated areas that are still a concern.

As the groundwater replenishment agency for the Central Groundwater Basin, the WRD has programs to monitor groundwater levels and quality. WRD's Regional Groundwater Monitoring Program consists of a network of about [335] monitoring wells at [60] locations throughout the Central Basin region. Monitoring well data is supplemented with information from production wells to capture the most accurate information available. WRD staff provides the in-house capability to collect, analyze and report groundwater data. This information is stored in a GIS database and provides the basis to better understand the characteristics of the Central Groundwater Basin. WRD makes this information available through an annual Regional Groundwater Monitoring Report which documents groundwater production, groundwater levels, and groundwater quality conditions throughout the Central Basin.

CHAPTER 9: DEMAND

MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Water conservation plays an important role in Southern California due to the diminished water supplies and the difficulty in obtaining new water supplies. Water conservation is also critical to PRWA and its ability to meet the long-term water needs of customers. The California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) was initially created to assist with water conservation through the creation of partnerships between urban, public, and private entities. These partnerships result in the creation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), drafted in 1991 and amended September 16, 1999, which formalized an agreement to implement Demand Management Measures (DMMs) and provide a cooperative effort to reduce the consumption of California’s water resources. In March 2018, the CUWCC was disbanded, and the former members created the California Water Efficiency Partnership (CalWEP). This new partnership has a mission to maximize the efficiency of urban water and water conservation across California. The original 14 Best Management Practices (BMPs) from the CUWCC MOU have since been compressed into five (5) BMPs. Although the PRWA has never a signatory of the 1996 MOU, they have continued to voluntarily implement the DMMs to the best of their abilities throughout the years. This voluntary effort will not change and PRWA will continue to implement the updated five (5) BMPs to the best of their abilities.

The following CalWEP BMPs were developed in 2020, however, are still in effect for this 2025 UWMP. • BMP #1: Utility Operations
• BMP #2: Public Education & Outreach
• BMP #3: Residential Programs
• BMP #4: Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial
Programs
• BMP #5: Landscape Programs

9.1 CalWEP BMPs

9.1.1 BMP #1 – Utility Operations
System Water Audits, Leak Detection, and Repair
As part of the former ‘DMM C’ requirements, PRWA is considering the implementation of a true water audit, leak detection, and repair program. The implementation of this program has the potential to not only identify, but also reduce the volume of unaccounted water losses by approximately 3-5% per year.

Considering that PRWA is located in an active earthquake zone, this program has been permanently integrated into the agency’s operations. To maintain and verify operations throughout the system, PRWA services both its largest and most compound meters annually, replace meters as needed, exercise system valves, and flush water mains throughout the year.

Metering with Commodity Rates for All New Connections and Retrofit of Existing Connections As part of the former ‘DMM D’ requirements, all existing service connections in PRWA are metered with all new connections requiring the installation of a meter.

Wholesale Agency Assistance Program
As part of the former ‘DMM J’ requirements, the PRWA coordinates with the CBMWD for regional water conservation programs.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 58 of 58
Conservation Pricing
As part of the former ‘DMM K’ requirements, PRWA utilizes a tiered water rate structure. All customers pay a minimum monthly service charge in addition to a three-tiered commodity rate that increases with increased water consumption. This structure is designed to discourage excessive water use.

Water conservation Coordinator/Water Use Efficiency Practitioner As part of the former ‘DMM L’ requirements, the PRWA currently does not have a designated conservation coordinator.

As part of the former ‘DMM M’ requirements, PRWA has established prohibitions against wasteful water use based on the California Constitution. PRWA has also adopted Resolution 3945 and codified in Title 13.70.040, which establishes prohibitions regarding the wasteful use of water.

Some of these include:
1) Limits on Water Hours and Duration.
2) No Excessive Water Flow or Runoff.
3) No Washing Down Hard or Paved Surfaces.
4) Obligation to Fix Leaks, Breaks or Malfunctions.
5) Limits on Washing Vehicles
6) Drinking Water Served Upon Request Only.
7) Commercial Lodging Establishments Must Provide Option to Not Launder Linen Daily. 8) No Installation of Nonrecirculating Commercial Car Wash and Laundry Systems. 9) Restaurants Required to Use Water Conserving Dish Wash Spray Valves.

9.1.2 BMP #2 – Public Education & Outreach
Public Information Program
As part of the former ‘DMM G’ requirements, PRWA coordinates its outreach programs with local energy utilities and the CBMWD. These outreach programs aim to educate the public on water conservation. Council members regularly promote water conservation at public functions, community groups, and schools, and PRWA is expanding its public information program to include bill inserts and brochures.

School Education Programs
As part of the former ‘DMM H’ requirements, the PRWA partners with the El Rancho School District to educate students on the importance of water conservation. These programs provide students with grade-appropriate materials for targeting learning.

9.1.3 BMP #3 – Residential Programs
Water Survey Programs for Single-Family and Multi-Family Residential Customers As part of the former ‘DMM A’ requirements, PRWA encourages its customers to conduct their own residential water use surveys. These surveys ask the customer to inspect all water-using devices

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 59 of 58
inside the home (including toilets, faucets, showerheads, etc.). Upon request, a customer can have a PRWA employee come to the home to check for leaks and test the flow indoors and outdoors. This survey can help identify recommendations for reducing water waste and offer other educational material to the customer.

Residential Plumbing Retrofit
As part of the former ‘DMM B’ requirements, PRWA is partnered with the El Rancho Unified School District and the CBMWD to install ultra-low flush toilets (ULFT) and waterless urinals at various schools within the district. PRWA is also participating in CBMWD’s program to promote low-flow showerheads and aerators across the service area. This program is administered by the CBMWD and the West Basin Municipal Water District with funding assistance provided by MWD.

High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Program
As part of the former ‘DMM F’ requirements, PRWA provides its customers with educational information on high-efficiency appliances, including washing machines. The CBMWD currently offers several rebate programs and PRWA will continue to promote these programs to its customers.

Residential ULFT Replacement Program
As part of the former ‘DMM N’ requirements, PRWA has participated in the CBMWD ULFT replacement program. This program supplies ULFTs free of charge to PRWA customers along with offering rebates starting at $40 purchase and installation of a ULFT.

9.1.4 BMP #4 – Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial Programs Conservation Programs for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Accounts This program is part of the former ‘DMM I’. PRWA does not currently have any conservation programs for commercial, industrial, and institutional accounts. However, PRWA can take advantage of programs offered by CBMWD and Metropolitan that offer rebates to business, schools, and other facilities for items such as commercial clothes washers, water brooms, cooling tower conductivity controllers, pre-rinse spray nozzles, x-ray machine recirculating devices, and commercial toilets and urinals. In addition, PRWA is considering passing a resolution to require the future construction projects to use water conservation methods for plumbing fixtures, including ULFTs, low-flow showerheads, and waterless urinals.

9.1.5 BMP #5 – Landscape Programs
Large Landscape Conservation Programs and Incentives
As part of the former ‘DMM E’ requirements, the City has adopted a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. This ordinance is applied to all city-wide industrial, commercial, and residential projects and requires water-efficient landscaping.

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan June 2021 Page 60 of 58
CHAPTER 10: AGENCY

COORDINATION AND PUBLIC

PARTICIPATION
Water management tools have been used by PRWA to maximize water resources. To help maximize water resources, PRWA has developed and implemented various policies and plans, which are referenced throughout this UWMP. Information from several agencies was utilized for the preparation of this 2025 UWMP, including the Water Replenishment District of Southern California and the Central Basin Municipal Water District. Coordination efforts with the CBMWD were critical in the development of this UWMP as all partner agencies within their service area are subject to many similar vulnerabilities and future goals. Table 55 below summarizes the coordination efforts with the CBMWD.

As part of the Public Notice & Outreach requirements, the City will conduct the following tasks:
• Retail Suppliers shall conduct a public hearing to discuss adoption, implementation, and economic impact of water use targets (recommended to discuss compliance). • Notify, at least 60 days prior to the public hearing, any city or county within which the Supplier provides water that the Supplier will be reviewing the UWMP and considering amendments or changes to the plan.

Coastal Plain of Los Angeles Groundwater Basin
California's Groundwater
Bulletin 118
Last update 2/27/04
Coastal Plain of Los Angeles Groundwater Basin,
Central Subbasin
• Groundwater Basin Number: 4-11.04
• County: Los Angeles
• Surface Area: 177,000 acres (277 square miles)
Basin Boundaries and Hydrology
The Central Subbasin occupies a large portion of the southeastern pait of the Coastal Plain of Los Angeles Groundwater Basin. This subbasin is commonly referred to as the "Central Basin" and is bounded on the north by a surface divide called the La Brea high, and on the no1theast and east by emergent less permeable Tertiary rocks of the Elysian, Repetto, Merced and Puente Hills. The southeast boundary between Central Basin and Orange County Groundwater Basin roughly follows Coyote Creek, which is a regional drainage province boundary. The southwest boundary is formed by the Newport Inglewood fault system and the associated folded rocks of the Newport Inglewood uplift. The Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers drain inland basins and pass across the surface of the Central Basin on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Average precipitation throughout the subbasin ranges from 11 to 13 inches with an average of around 12 inches.

Hydrogeologic Information
Water Bearing Formations
Throughout the Central Basin, groundwater occurs in Holocene and Pleistocene age sediments at relatively shallow depths. The Central Basin is historically divided into forebay and pressure areas. The Los Angeles forebay is located in the northern part of the Central Basin where the Los Angeles River enters the Central Basin through the Los Angeles Narrows from the San Fernando Groundwater Basin. The Montebello forebay extends southward from the Whittier Narrows where the San Gabriel River encounters the Central Basin and is the most important area of recharge in the subbasin. Both forebays have unconfined groundwater conditions and relatively interconnected aquifers that extend up to 1,600 feet deep to provide recharge to the aquifer system of this subbasin (DWR 1961). The Whittier area extends from the Puente Hills south and southwest to the axis of the Santa Fe Springs-Coyote Hills uplift and contains up to 1,000 feet of freshwater-bearing sediments. The Central Basin pressure area is the largest of the four divisions, and contains many aquifers of permeable sands and gravels separated by semi-permeable to impermeable sandy clay to clay, that extend to about 2,200 feet below the surface (DWR 1961). The estimated average specific yield of these sediments is around 18 percent. Throughout much of the subbasin, the aquifers are confined, but areas with semipermeable aquicludes allow some interaction between the aquifers (DWR 1961).

The main productive freshwater-bearing sediments are contained within Holocene alluvium and the Pleistocene Lakewood and San Pedro Formations (DWR 1961). Throughout most of the subbasin, the near surface Bellflower aquiclude restricts vertical percolation into the Holocene age Gaspur aquifer and other underlying aquifers, and creates local semi-perched groundwater South Coast Hydrologic Region

conditions. The main additional productive aquifers in the subbasin are the Gardena and Gage aquifers within the Lakewood Fo1mation and the Silverado, Lynwood and Sunnyside aquifers within the San Pedro Formation (DWR 1961). Specific yield of deposits in this subbasin range up to 23 percent in the Montebello forebay, 29 percent in the Los Angeles forebay, and 37 percent in the Central Basin pressure area (DWR 1961).

Historically, groundwater flow in the Central Basin has been from recharge areas in the northeast part of the subbasin, toward the Pacific Ocean on the southwest. However, pumping has lowered the water level in the Central Basin and water levels in some aquifers are about equal on both sides of the Newport-Inglewood uplift, decreasing subsurface outflow to the West Coast Subbasin (DWR 1961).

There are several principal aquifers/aquicludes present in this subbasin.

Restrictive Structures
Many faults, folds and uplifted basement areas affect the water-bearing rocks in the Central Basin. Most of these structures form minor restrictions to groundwater flow in the subbasin. The strongest effect on groundwater occurs along the southwest boundary to the Central Subbasin. The faults and folds of the Newpo1t - Inglewood uplift are partial barriers to movement of groundwater from the Central Basin to the West Coast Basin (DWR 1961).

The La Brea high is a system of folded, uplifted and eroded Tertiary basement rocks. Because the San Pedro Formation is eroded from this area, subsurface flow southward from the Hollywood Basin is restricted to the Lakewood formation (DWR 1961). The Whittier Narrows is an eroded gap through the Merced and Puente Hills that provides both surface and subsurface inflow to the Central Basin (DWR 1961). The Rio Hondo, Pico, and Cemetery faults are northeast-trending faults that project into the gap and displace aquifers. The trend of these faults parallels the local groundwater flow and do not act as significant barriers to groundwater flow (DWR 1961).

Recharge Areas
Groundwater enters the Central Basin through surface and subsurface flow and by direct percolation of precipitation, stream flow, and applied water; and replenishes the aquifers dominantly in the forebay areas where permeable sediments are exposed at ground surface (DWR 1961). Natural replenishment of the subbasin 's groundwater supply is largely from surface inflow through Whittier Narrows (and some underflow) from the San Gabriel Valley. Percolation into the Los Angeles Forebay Area is restricted due to paving and development of the surface of the forebay. Impo1ted water purchased from Metropolitan Water District and recycled water from Whittier and San Jose Treatment Plants are used for aitificial recharge in the Montebello Forebay at the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River spreading grounds (DWR 1999). Saltwater intrusion is a problem in areas where recent or active river systems have eroded through the Newport Inglewood uplift.

A mound of water to form a barrier is formed by injection of water in wells along the Alamitos Gap (DWR 1999).

Groundwater Level Trends
Water levels varied over a range of about 25 feet between 1961 and 1977 and have varied through a range of about 5 to 10 feet since 1996. Most water wells show levels in 1999 that are in the upper portion of their recent historical range.

Groundwater Storage
Groundwater Storage Capacity. Total storage capacity of the Central Basin is 13,800,000 (DWR 1961).

Groundwater in Storage.

Groundwater Budget (Type A)
A complete water budget could not be constructed due to the lack of data available. Recharge to the subbasin is accomplished through both natural and aitificial recharge. The Watermaster repo1ted natural recharge for the subbasin to be 31,950 af and artificial recharge to be 63,688 af for 1998 (DWR 1999). Additionally, the subbasin receives 27,000 af/yr of water through the Whittier Narrows from the San Gabriel Valley Basin in the form of subsurface flow (SWRB 1952). Urban extractions for the subbasin were 204,335 af in 1998 (DWR 1999).

Groundwater Quality
Characterization. TDS content in the subbasin ranges from 200 to 2,500 mg/1 according to data from 293 public supply wells. The average for these 293 wells is 453 mg/1.

PLAN

APPENDIX D

Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan APPENDIX E: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

APPENDIX E
Pico Rivera Water Authority
Emergency Action Plan
Introduction
This plan has been developed to assist the Pico Rivera Water Authority employees in coping with emergency conditions that may arise. The goal of this plan is to provide a working document that provides general instroction on responding to emergencies. The objectives of this plan are:
• Ensure the safety of City employees, their families, and property. • Provide general direction to each employee responding to an emergency. • Determines basic assignments and reporting locations for each employee. • Establish a basic strategy designed to keep Pico Rivera Water Authority facilities operational and provide the highest possible service to its customers. • Create an internal communication protocol to provide necessary information during the emergency.
• Ensure compliance with Cal-OSHA, California Code of Regulations, Title 8 §3220, Emergency Action Plans.

Guide Structure
This Emergency Response Guide is divided into three major sections, which are interrelated with each other, to offer a concise organized response by City personnel to emergency situations as they occur. Although it is impossible to foresee every emergency that might arise, this guide utilized by well-trained City staff should aUow the City to return to normal operations as rapidly as possible when abnormal conditions arise. The Emergency Action Plan discusses the nature and categories of emergencies offering general response guidelines. The Fire Prevention and Fire Emergency Plan offers guidance for the prevention of fires; and, in conjunction with the Emergency Action Plan, provides instruction should a fire start. The Emergency Chlorination Plan outlines the City's response to water quality issues.

The Emergency Action Plan
The Emergency Action Plan is the backbone of the City's emergency response effort. It has been designed to provide a general operational framework from which the City can respond, both personally and corporately, to emergencies. Each employee should become familiar with the Cities Emergency Response Guide. This guide includes basic emergency instruction via the Emergency Action Plan, Fire Prevention Plan, and Emergency Chlorination Plan. Periodic training is conducted to test the Cities emergency plans and their procedures.

The Emergency Response Guide is not intended to offer specific instructions on making repairs to damaged facilities. Cities employees are already well trained to handle the repair and maintenance of the Cities facilities. Instead, it is intended to offer both general and specific instructions on invoking emergency procedures, allowing the organized repair of City facilities, even under adverse conditions. Additionally, the plan outlines the responsibilities and roles each employee will assume during an emergency.

Brief Overview of Normal Pico Rivera Water Authority Operation The City of Pico Rivera lies between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel Rivers at the foot of the Whittier Narrows Dam. It occupies an area of nearly 8.4 square miles (366,000 acres). The City was incorporated in 1958. There is little open space remaining in the City; thus, any growth will be incremental.

The Pico Rivera Water Authority delivers potable water supplies to its 9, l 00 customers through its pressurized distribution system. The PRWA's potable water treatment and distribution system is comprised of: 10 chlorination facilities; three small reservoirs with combined storage of I million gallons; 90 miles of mains; 875 fire hydrants; and, 11 booster pumps with a capacity of 12,500 gallons per minute (GPM). Average daily demand is approximately 5.0 million gallons.

The first three are wells numbers 2,4, and 12 which are controlled by variable frequency drives and are each capable of producing approximately 2300 gallons per minute. Wells number 1,3 and 11 fill reservoirs and have the capacity of approximately 2800 gallons per minute each and are constant speed. Well number 5 is capable of pumping 1500 gallons per minute. Wells number 6,7 and 8 and 3 booster pump stations have a capacity to also maintain system pressure. Average system pressure is 78psi, 72 and the remaining booster pumps are for complete redundancy. The PRWA is interconnected with the City of Whittier and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company, from which it may draw emergency needs.

Precautionary chlorination is providoo through the injection of chlorine gas into the common well discharge header. Contact time is provided in the reservoir and secondary chlorination is applied prior to the water entering the distribution piping prior to the first domestic connection.

The Cities has two fixed natural gas engines to power wells 2, and 12, to continue pump:ing water in the event of a commercial power failure.. The Cities also has a portable generator equipped to specifically power the main office facilities in the case of a power outage.

Emergency Operations
During emergency conditions, the Parle and Recreation office doubles as the Emergency Operations Center (BOC), located at 6767 Passons Blvd. All operations will be directed from this location. The EOC shall be under the direction of the City Manager, Chuck Fuentes, who shall direct the activities of the Cities staff. Additional contractual staff (i.e. engineering, construction) shall be obtained on an as needed basis.

What is an Emergency?
The dictionary defines an emergency as: "a sudden, urgent, unexpected occurrence requiring immediate action." Using this definition it can be seen that emergencies can and do happen almost on a daily basis. These are handled in the nonnal daily course of events and are not the subject of this emergency response plan. This does not lessen their importance, but this type of emergency would not normally invoke a full emergency response. Less frequent but considerably more devastating emergencies are always possibilities. Emergencies created by natural events such as earthquakes, tidal waves, flooding, drought, fire, wind, etc., can be extremely devastating and have far reaching effects. In an effort to categorize emergencies, and the required level of response, the following classifications have been developed:

Level I Emergency: A level I emergency can normally be handled by a single person or a small field crew. A typical level I emergency is a line break, severed fire hydrant, customer emergency turn off, pump; valve, well, reservoir or other alarm condition. Most level 1 emergency only effect a small area, but some such as a commercial power failure may affect several facilities. Level I emergencies are nonnally handled at the Cities level with management being informed through the normal channels. Generally the EOC is not activated for a level I emergency.

Level II Emergency: Level II emergencies may involve multiple crews or even outside resources. Level II emergencies are major emergencies that might involve other agencies, yet are generally within the Cities service area. Examples of a level II emergency are major line breaks, requiring an outside contractor, an area wide power outage that lasts for an extended period of time, etc. Local police, Cal-Trans, the county or other water agencies might be involved in a level II emergency. Depending upon the severity of the emergency, the full EOC, or at least an abbreviated version, may need to be set up to handle coordination and information exchange.

Level ID Emergency: Level ill emergencies are severe catastrophic events such as high magnitude earthquakes, floods, major fires, etc. that do extensive damage to facilities. A level Ill emergency will require the response of all personnel who can report to duty. Level III emergencies would be beyond the capability of the City to control, requiring ex.tensive outside assistance. In a level III incident the major damage could be outside the Cities service area, but require the Pico Water District assistance. In the event of a level III emergency the EOC should be immediately set up. '
Any emergency can escalate or de-escalate requiring the City to respond accordingly. Simple level I incidents can escalate to level II requiring additional response while the more severe level ill can de-escalate to level II or level I as conditions are returned to normal. For example should a major local earthquake occur, Cities resources would probably become rapidly depleted, requiring the City's response to escalate accordingly? As the situation is brought under control, with the restoration of the production and distribution systems, the Cities response would deescalate to a normal operation. Level II and III incidents may involve local, county, or state public safety officials (police and/or fire) requiring City forces to coordinate their efforts with the local officials.

Response to an emergency
The most important response to any emergency is to STAY CALM and rely on your training and good common sense. It would be impossible to create a complete set of guidelines detailing complete instructions on how to handle every type of emergency that might occur. In lieu of that, the following are guidelines to assist you in responding to an emergency.

If you are at work when an emergency occurs:
• Level l Emergency - These types of emergencies are common and might be the result of an alarm condition or a customer complaint. Rely on your training and good common sense to resolve these emergencies. Should the situation escalate, or you feel additional assistance is required, immediately contact your supervisor for assistance. Do not try to remedy a situation that you are either unprepared for or you do not have adequate resources to control. Report all emergencies and their resolution to your supervisor. • Level II Emergency - Should a level I emergency escalate to level II, or if when responding to an emergency it turns out to be of level II proportions, immediately notify your supervisor for assistance and direction.
• Level III Emergency - Report to your supervisor or to the Cities EOC for additional instructions.

If you are NOT at work wheo an emergency occurs:
• Level I and II Emergencies � Normally the "on-call" person would be the first responder to after hour's emergencies. The person responding should notify their supervisor if assistance is needed and assemble a crew to correct the emergency. AllCities employees are subject to call out as needed.
• Level m Emergency - Since Level m emergencies are catastrophic in nature the following guidelines are given:
• Insure the safety of your family.
• Call your supervisor for instructions. If you cannot reach your supervisor, • Call the Cities office for instructions. If you cannot contact the office, • Report directly to work. You should report to the Cities main office. • Do not wait for someone to contact you. In a catastrophe, time is of the essence. • Providing the City's office is safe to enter, try to assess the damage to the system.

Use the TV (local Channel 3), Cities radio, telephone, or whatever is functioning to assist you.

If there is immediate danger, or if there has been an injury requiring medical attention, call 911 to report the incident if phones are available and working. If the tvv·o�way radio is the only communications available, report the emergency to the City's Public Work Department for first aid if necessary.

Chain of Command
During emergency situations, the chain of command remains as it does during normal operations.

The City Manager is resporn�ible for the operation of the City with City employees being subordinate to the City Manager. Should the City Manager be absen� the Assistant City Manager shall acquire the duties. All field operations are managed through the City Of Pico Rivera Public Works Department's Water Division and lead by the Director of Public Works. A Senior Supervisor oversees the water division operating staff at the city corporate yard facility.

All pertinent decisions, communications and coordinating efforts must have the approval of the City Manager or his designate. The City Manager will assess the situation and determine what actions are necessary to return the Cities to normal operation.

Emergency Operations Center
During times of emergency, requiring the setup of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the Pico Rivera Water Authority will utilize its office facilities for this function. The will be the operations center. From this location the EOC Director (City Manager or his designate) will direct the activities of the Cities staff and outside support personnel. Commercial radio and television is available as a source of media information. Additional information may be available via the Cities Internet connection. System maps and other pertinent information are available in the file room and would be moved to the boardroom on an as needed basis. Security would be handled from the receptionist area utilizing the existing front security gate. Communications with the field crew(s) would be via the existing Nextel wireless telephone/radio system.

General Response Guidelines
The following are general response guidelines to emergency conditions that may occur. Emergencies can occur at any time, from minor level I emergencies to level Ill catastrophes. Remember that the key to success in dealing with any emergency is to STAY CALM and use a common sense approach.

These basic guidelines are intended to give basic assistance to an employee in dealing with an emergency. It is impossible to predict the nature, and to what extent, any emergency might involve. The following guidelines are intended to offer general assistance for some of the more probable emergencies an employee might encounter.

Fire (for additional infonnation refer the Cities Emergency Operation Plan) Buildings - If a small fire, such as a trash can fire, breaks out within a building and a fire extinguisher is available, and you are trained in its use, you may attempt to extinguish the fire. If the building structure is involved, you should evacuate the building, sounding an alarm if others are present, and summon the fire authority.

If you are in the office and a fire breaks out, activate the fire alarm. If the fire is small, such as a trashcan or computer fire and a fire extinguisher is near and you are trained in the use of fire extinguishers, you may attempt to extinguish the fire. If the fire involves the building. structure, sound an alarm and evacuate the building, proceed to the designated staging area and notify the fire au_thority. Do not attempt to extinguish the fire. It is important that all personnel in the building evacuate to the staging area to help account for all known persons that were in the building.

If you are caught in a building that is on fire observe the following:
• Stay close to the floor. The temperature will be cooler there and this is where you will fmd fresh air. Smoke tends to kill more people than flames. • Never open any doors without checking to see if they are hot. A hot door indicates flames on the other side.
• If your clothing catches on fire, drop to the ground and roll. • If a companion's clothing catches on fire, push them to the floor and make them roll.

If a blanket; coat or other piece of heavy clothing is available, use it to smother the flames.

Motors or Switchgear - If you approach a well facility, pump, or control cabinet that appears to be on fire, DO NOT enter the site. Notify the fire authority and be available to assist as necessary. If the fire has spread to involve the structure, DO NOT try to extinguish the fire yourself. If a fire erupts in a motor or the switchgear, if possible, immediately tum off the main electrical breaker. If the fire is small, not involving the building structure and a fire extinguisher is near and you are trained in the use of fire extinguishers, you may attempt to extinguish the fire. DO NOT try to restart any electrical component that has been subjected to a fire.

Vehicles - If you encounter a vehicle fire while driving, pull the vehicle to the side of the road and exit as soon as it is safely possible. Summon assistance in whatever way is available without endangering your life. If the fire is in the engine compartment and the hood can be safely opened, you may use the vehicles fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. Be careful of the battery. When overheated, batteries will explode.

Above all else, in the event of a fire, stay calm and DO NOT take unnecessary chances.

Earthquake
If you are in a building when an earthquake strikes you should DUCK, COVER, HOLD. • DUCK - or drop to the floor.
• COVER - Take cover under a sturdy table or desk away from windows or other objects that might fall. If that is not possible, seek cover against an interior wall. • HOLD - If you have taken cover under an object, HOLD on to it and be prepared to move with it. Stay in that position until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.

Some additional tips to remember in dealing with an earthquake; • DO NOT try to exit a building during an earthquake. Wait until the shaking stops and then exit as rapidly as safely possible.
• Always try to move along an interior wall if possible. • When outdoors, move to a clear area away from trees, buildings, signs, power lines, or other objects that might fall.
• If you are on the sidewalk near a building when an earthquake strikes, move into a doorway to protect yourself from falling plaster, bricks, glass or other debris. • If you are in a store or other public building move away from windows, display cases or shelves with objects that might fall.
• When driving, pull over to the side of the road. Avoid overpasses and power lines.

Stay in your vehicle until the shaking stops.

After an earthquake City facilities need to be inspected for their serviceability. • Pumps and Wells - Carefully inspect the exterior of the well site for its stability before entering the site. If the building does not appear stable, do not enter it. Once inside inspect the alignment of the piping, motors and pumps. Do not try to run a pump or well if the associated piping or the pump and motor appear to be mis-aligned.

Control cabinets should be standing in their normal position with all conduits intact. Do not try to run a pump or well using a control cabinet that is in any way damaged or has exposed electrical components. Do not touch any exposed wiring. Assume that all electrical wiring is HOT.
• Reservoir - On the tank look for pipin,g separations, and buckling of the walls. Check to see if the tank is still centered on its base ring. Look for leaks. • Pipelines - Look for wet spots or water bubbling up along known distribution lines.

Investigate no water of low water pressure customer complaints for indications of broken pipelines. .

Flooding
Unusually heavy rains, or the over spilling of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel River, have the potential of creating a flood situation. To the extent possible, sandbagging can be utilized to protect Cities facilities. Motors or electrical switchgear that is in danger of coming in contact with floodwaters should be turned off and the main breakers deactivated. Never tty to run any electrical appliance that is in contact with water unless the appliance (such as a submersible pump) is designed to operate in a wet environment, nor should any motor or switchgear that has been submerged be operated before it has been thoroughly inspected by a qualified electrician.

Water quality can be affected by f1ooding. Well and distribution system samples must be taken. Should contamination be indicated, immediate action must be taken. This can include, but not be limited to, additional chlorination, flushing, activation of interconnections, public notification or boil water orders.

Sabotage of Water Supplies
As the population of the area increases and political and other changes take place in our society, there unfortunately becomes an increased potential for the Cities water storage and supply system to become the target of sabotage. This can be a simple prank, someone using a reservoir for recreational pUIJ)oses, to a deliberate attempt to contaminate the potable water system. Should there be evidence of tampering; an open or damaged reservoir hatch; apparent tampering with wells or pumps, suspicious containers left on site; water having strange odor or color; the following steps must be taken:
• Isolate the affected system.
• Immediately notify your supervisor and management.
• Isolate the area and notify local law enforcement officials. • Collect water samples for analysis.
• Notify the Health Department.
• Public Notification as appropriate.
• Flush and chlorinate as appropriate.
• Return the system to service only after testing has deemed it safe.

For additionai instruction refer to the Cities Emergency Chlorination Plan included in this booklet.

System Contamination
Should contamination occur within the distribution system, reservoir or wells, follow the procedures contained in the Cities Emergency Chlorination Plan. Likewise the Emergency Chlorination Plan should be consulted should there be a malfunction with the chlorination system, Disruption of Supply
In the event of a disruption of the normal supply due to well failure, commercial power failure, pipeline failure, etc., activate the emergency generators. Should the problem involve the operation of a well notify one of the WeW Pump repair companies for assistance.

Civil Disorder
Civil Disorders could cause an emergency status. Complete cooperation and coordination with local peace keeping authorities is essential. To prevent sabotage or vandalism of City facilities, they should remain locked and, as is safe and practical, staffed by City staff. Should additional security.be required, private security guards would be hired.

Disruption of Distribution Pumping
Should there be a disruption in distribution pumping, such as a fire in one of the well sites, shut it down and activate one of the alternate wells, and check your chlorine residual after starting the well. Do not attempt to handle the situation without first calling for assistance. Contact your superintendent and inform him of the situation.

Main Breaks
Should a main break be evidenced by water coming up out of the ground, loss of pressure in the service area1 etc.1 repairs should be initiated immediately; Cities forces will make the necessary repairs unless City Manager and or the field superintendent deems that assistance will be necessary. These repairs are nonnally done under pressure utilizing the appropriate repair clamp. Repairs are made under pressure to minimize the possibility of back siphoning and contamination of the distribution system. Although in some cases when the water leaking out of the main is too excessive, an isolation of the area may be required by closing the closest line valves to the leak. If assistance is required City Manager Will notifying the Cities licensed pipeline contractor for the emergency pipeline repair. A Cities representative should monitor the repair activity to insure all repair work is in accordance with AWWA and Cities standards.

Fire Hydrants
Should a fire hydrant become damaged or sheered, isolate the hydrant by closing the hydrant lateral valve. If possible initiate repairs there after. If repairs for some reason can't be made then the area should be delineated and secured, if the hydrant still stands then a bag should be placed over the hydrant to prevent usage.

The local fire authority must be notified immediately of the hydrant's location and that it is out of service.

Commercial Power Outages
Commercial power outages will occur from time to time. These may be scheduled, due to maintenance or rolling blackouts, or unscheduled because of equipment damage or failure. At the time of a commercial power outage, contact the Southern California Edison Cities (SCE) for a determination as to the anticipated duration of the outage. The Cities has three portable diesel powered generator that can provide sufficient power for distribution pumping. The units must be manually started as per manufactures instructions and load must be manually transferred from commercial to standby power. Do not tamper with the normal generator connections as it can force motors to run in reverse or back feed the SCE system causing severe injury or death. Do not try to apply a load greater than that for which the generator is rated. Do not try to refuel the generator while it is running. Shut the unit down, refuel, and then return the generator to service. When commercial power is restored, allow time for the SCE system to stabilize before transferring load and stopping the generator. Once the load has been transferred, allow the generator to go through its cool down cycle before final shut down.

Building Evacuation
Should a Cities building evacuation be required, follow the posted evacuation route to the assigned staging area. Select an evacuation route that is farthest away from the emergency i.e. fire. Remain calm and move quickly, without running, to the nearest safe evacuation exit.

The evacuation commander (individual assigned evacuation duties at the site or the most senior individual on site-in.their-absence).is-responsible to sound.the evacuation alarm and oversee the evacuation. Providing it can be done safely, assigned individuals are to shut off the gas and electrical service to the building. Once assembled in the staging area, the Evacuation Commander, is to determine if all the known occupants have been safely evacuated. During an earthquake, do not evacuate the building until the earthquake has stopped. Do not reenter a building until it has been deemed safe.

Bomb Threats
Regardless of how they are received, bomb threats must be taken seriously. If the threat is to an occupied building, the building must be evacuated until the threat is alleviated. Cities management, local police and fire authorities must be immediately notified of the threat. If you are the person receiving the threat, try to remain clam and note as much information about the person making the threat as possible. This information can be valuable to authorities trying to apprehend the individual making bomb or other threats. At no time is a Cities employee to try to disable a suspected bomb or other suspicious device. The area should be secured allowing access only to authorized personnel.

Emergency Water Disbursement
In the event it becomes impossible to distribute water through the normal distribution system, emergency water distribution is possible from the reservoir. The compound is ideal because of its security fences and gated entrances. Additional security may be required for crowd control while Cities forces fill allocation requests from reservoir taps. This approach would provide a safer environment and better control for Cities staff than utilizing trailers or other means of trying to satisfy water demands in the community at large.

Emergency Notification
Should an emergency event occur requiring public notification; the Cities will follow the directions ascribed by the state health department. As necessary, electronic media, radio and television, as well as print media (both English and Spanish) will be utilized as required under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, sections 64463.1 - 64467. Additionally, two vehicles equipped with loudspeakers could be utilized to notify the residents of the emergency and any special circumstances such as water conservation requests. Because of the size of the service area this should be accomplished in 3 to 4 hours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How will I know if I'm supposed to report to work? - If you are called, then you are to report.

If you are not called, use your best judgment. During extreme emergencies it might be impossible for someone from the Cities to call you because of disruptions in the telephone system. Should there be a major event, such as a large scale earthquake, and your family and property are safe, you should make an effort to report to work or in some way make contact with the District.

How do I get through the roadblocks? - Roadblocks are a real potential. There are some things you can do to assist getting through. Always have your ID card handy. Politely inform the officer you are responding to an emergency. If possible, use a marked Cities vehicle. The EOC Director (City Manager or his designate) will try to notify the Los Angeles County Sheriff to allow employees into the service area.

If I'm at work and a major event occurs, will I be able to look after my family? - Yes. The well being of the Cities employees and their families takes a top priority in the Cities efforts in dealing with an emergency. How this is to be accomplished will depend upon conditions surrounding the event
How will I communicate during an emergency? Reliable communications is essential to combating the effects of an emergency. If there were a major event, such as a large earthquake, communications would be based upon what worked. The Cities has telephone, Nextel cellular phones, fax and Internet, commercial radio and television available for communications.

Depending upon the severity of the event, you would use whatever communications, or mixture of communications, that still function, to communicate.

How long will the emergency last? - There is no way to tell how long an emergency will last.

Generally emergency conditions will be in effect until the Cities operation has returned to a normal state.

How long will I be required to work? - That depends upon the severity of the emergency, the number people who respond, and the need for your particular expertise and abilities.

What type of work will I be required to do? - During an emergency the Cities will be required to make the best of what it has. This means there is a good possibility you may be asked to perform a function you are not accustomed to.

Will we get any help? - That depends upon the severity of the emergency and how wide spread it is. For catastrophic emergencies, the general rule of thumb is to not expect any outside help for the first twenty-four (24) to forty�eight (48) hours after the initial event. During that time ·the Cities will have to survive the best it can on what it has available.

What do I say if asked a question by the Media? - Refer all questions to the EOC Director.

The same is true for questions you might be asked from the general public. Do not make comments on your own. During an emergency, accurate information is essential. It is important that all questions about the emergency be handled by a central source.

Pico Rivera Water Authority
Fire Prevention and Fire Emergency Plan
General
A Fire Prevention and Fire Emergency Plan is part of the Cities Emergency Response Plan. Its intent is to alert employees to potential fire hazards, abate those hazards, and provide an emergency plan in the event of a fire.

Typical Fire Hazards
Typical fire hazards consist of, but are not limited to the following:
• Combustible materials: These are any type of materials which when ignited will bum. Included would be paper products, plastics, packing material, wood, certain chemicals, petroleum products, (gasoline, diesel fuel, paint thinners, cleaning solvents etc.).
• Electrical appliances: Any electrical appliance such as coffee makers, computers, radios, office equipment, and pumps motors, switch gear, etc., is capable of being a fire hazard. This occurs when the equipment is mis-used, poorly maintained, used in an environment where it was not intended (using an appliance intended only for indoor use out of doors), or used to provide a function for which it was not intended, etc. Over-loading receptacles, bypassing fuses or circuit breakers, using frayed or damaged electrical cords or wiring, all contribute to creating an electrical fire hazard.
• Gas appliances and items that produce sparks during their operation: Gas appliances, such as heaters, gasoline fueled equipment, cutting or welding torches, that are improperly used or maintained can create a fire hazard. This is also true of tools such as grinders or saws that produce sparks.

Fire Prevention
Being aware of what constitutes a fire hazard and acting accordingly is an important aspect to a good fire prevention program. The following suggestions should be adhered to as part of the Cities fire prevention program.
• Good housekeeping: Good housekeeping is essential to frre prevention. Clutter or accumulations of combustible material should not be allowed to accumulate, especially near an ignition source. Combustible materials must not be stored in closets or other places where there is a viable source of ignition. Example: storing combustible materials in the same closet with the furnace or water heater having a pilot light. Likewise, flammable liquids or chemicals must not be stored near an ignition source.
• Refueling of equipment: Refueling vehicles or equipment must be done with the engine off and in the appropriate location away from any source of ignition.

Smoking is never permitted when refueling vehicles or equipment. • Using electrical appliances: Never use any electrical device that is defective or has defective wiring, cords, connections, or switches. Only use the appliance for its intended purpose. Never overload an outlet, circumvent fuses or circuit breakers, and insure the appliances' grounding needs are properly adhered to.

Inspections and Maintenance
Inspections and proper maintenance are a part of the Cities fire prevention program Inspections are likewise a part of the Cities overall safety program. Inspections are accomplished on a regular basis but need to be augmented by brief safety checks each time a tool, appliance, or piece of equipment is to be used, Any time a tool, appliance or piece of equipment appears to be damaged, does not work properly, or appears to be unsafe, DO NOT USE IT until it can be properly repaired or replaced. Do not use electrical equipment with frayed wiring, cords or plugs with the grounding or other prongs removed or altered.

Fire Control
None of the Cities facilities are equipped with internal automatic sprinkler systems.

AllCities facilities and vehicles are equipped with fire extinguishers. These portable fire extinguishers are dry chemical, or CO2, depending upon their location. All the fire extinguishers are checked monthly and serviced annually. Fire extinguisher locations must not be obstructed. Fire extinguishers must be in plain sight with easy access and clearly marked as appropriate. Fire extinguishers are for use on small non-structural fires such as wastebasket fires or small appliance fires. They are to be used only by persons who have been trained in their usage. To effectively use a fire extinguisher, do the following:
• Remove the fire extinguisher from its mounting point. • Grasping the fire extinguisher with one hand on its handle and the other on the bottom, rotate the extinguisher, top to bottom, a couple times. This is of particular importance with dry chemical extinguishers as it loosens up the chemical allowing it to be expelled with the propellant.
• Holding the extinguisher with one hand in the upright position, remove the ring pin with the other hand.
• Keeping a safe distance from the fire, point the nozzle of the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
• Squeeze the trigger, using short bursts while moving the extinguishers blast across the fire.
• Continue using an arching motion and short bursts aimed at the base of the fire until the fire is out or the fire extinguisher is empty.

If the fire involved an electrical appliance, tool or equipment, do not try to re-start or run the device until it can be thoroughly inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician.

Fire Alarm Systems
The City's facilities do not have any type of fire sensing or alarming equipment. Should a fire be discovered, the person discovering the fire should yell "FIRE" to alert any other building occupants and take the appropriate action. If the fire is small, such as a trash can fire, and a fire extinguisher is available, and you are trained in its proper operation, you may extinguish the fire. For larger fires, or fires that involve the building structure or fires that could not be sui::cessfuUy extinguished, call the local fire authority, Anytime the fire alarm is sounded, the occupants of the affected facility must immediately engage in an orderly evacuation. Occupied Cities facilities have evacuation routes posted. The evacuation route posters include staging areas and the locations of fire extinguishers. The fire authority should be called for any fires that are larger than those that can be easily extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher. Fire alarms are serious and activation as a prank will result in the appropriate disciplinary action.

Employee Fire Prevention Safe Work Practices
Every employee must comply with safe work practices to rwnimize fire hazards and insure a safe response in the event of a fire. The following guidelines are designed to encourage safe work practices:
• Handle flammable or combustible liquids very carefully. Gasoline, paint thinners, diesel fuel, etc. should only be stored in small amounts (five gallons or less) in approved marked containers and away from any source of ignition. • When refueling vehicles or other engine power equipment, never leave the engine runmng.
• Never smoke when refueling vehicles or engine driven equipment. • Should a spill of a flammable liquid occur, immediately clean it up and properly dispose of the clean-up materials.
• Oily rags, or rags with other combustible liquids on them; must only be stored in the proper fire safe containers.
• Never store materials where they may block access to a fire extinguisher, fire sprinklers, or fire alarm.
• Never store combustible materials, including flammable liquids, near an ignition source.
• Do not block fire exits with stored materials. Always keep exits free and clear. • Avoid overloading electrical receptacles and keep use of extension cords to a minimum.
• Do not use defective electrical equipment. This includes equipment with frayed wiring, defective plugs, bad switches, or that is improperly grounded. • Never circumvent any electrical safety device such as a fuse or circuit breaker, • Know how to use a fire extinguisher and its limitations. Do not try to fight a fire that is to big for the rating of the fire extinguisher being used. Do not use a fire extinguisher if you are not trained in its usage.
• Know where the fire alarms are, how to activate them, and what they sound like when activated.
• When working in a building, know where the exits and evacuation routes are.

Areas Subject to Periodic Inspection
The following areas will be periodically inspected for fire hazard. The following areas are scheduled monthly for inspected are:

Cities Office
Storage Facilities
Motor Control Centers (MCC)
Wells and associated areas
Pumps and associated areas

System Type: Community Water System
Population Served: Approximately 35,000
Source Water: The Pico Rivera Water Authority primary source is 10 groundwater wells drawing from common aquifers.

Treatment Provided: Precautionary chlorination (gas chlorine) is provided at each of the wells when the system is utilizing its groundwater source.

System Overview
The City of Pico Rivera lies between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel Rivers at the foot of the Whittier Narrows Dam. It occupies an area of nearly 8.4 square miles (366,000 acres). The City was incorporated in 1958. There is little open space remaining in the City; thus, any growth will be incremental.

The Pico Rivera Water Authority delivers potable water supplies to its 9,100 customers through its pressurized distribution system. The PRWA's potable water treatment and distribution system is comprised of: 10 chlorination facilities; three small reservoirs with combined storage of I million gallons; 90 miles of mains; 875 fire hydrants; and, 11 booster pumps with a capacity of 12,500 gallons per minute (GPM). Average daily demand is approximately 5.0 million gallons. The first three are wells numbers 2,4, and 12 which are controlled by variable frequency drives and are each capable of producing approximately 2300 gallons per minute. Wells number 1,3 and 11 fill reservoirs and have the capacity of approximately 2800 gallons per minute each and are constant speed. Well number 5 is capable of pumping 1500 gallons per minute. Wells number 6,7 and 8 and 3 booster pump stations have a capacity to also maintain system pressure. Average system pressure is 78psi72psi and the remaining booster pumps are for complete redundancy. The PRWA is interconnected with the City of Whittier and the San Gabriel Valley Water Company, from which it may draw emergency needs.

Precautionary chlorination is provided through the injection of chlorine gas into the common well discharge header. Contact time is provided in the reservoir and secondary chlorination is applied prior to the water entering the distribution piping prior to the first domestic connection.

The Cities has t\vo fixed natural gas engines to power wells 2> and 12, to continue pumping water in the event of a commercial power failure. The Cities also has a portable generator equipped to specifically power the main office facilities in the case of a power outage.

Normal Operation
Potable water for the Pico Rivera Water Authority is provided by groundwater wells.

Operation of the wells is controlled by system pressure directly related to system demand. As the system water pressure drops, indicated by pressure transducers for each well, which is connected to PLC and then the well is controlled by the SCADA system either starting or stopping the well to attain the desired pressure. Once the desired system pressure is attained the well production is stopped. Each well has sufficient capacity to provide the system's daily needs. The wells alternate their duty cycles on a weekly basis.

Distribution system pressure is maintained at approximately 78 to 72 psi by any three City wells or t\vo wells and two boosters, pump from any one of the three reservoirs.

Pump activation is via pressure sensors monitoring the distribution system.

Reservoir levels and distribution system pressure are monitored 24hrs/day via SCADA and recorded on a daily basis by the individual checking the wells for that day.

System Disinfection
Chlo1ine levels are monitored daily. Chlorinator are used to inject gas chlo1·ine lo an injection point on lhe di ttibution line prior to the water entering the distribution syslem.

The rortometer is manually adjusted to provide a .SO mg/L dosage. This dosage has proven to pr vide an average residual of .2 mg to th farthe t point in the di tribution syst m. Daily chorine residuals are taken at each of the Districts weU sites at a designated sample tap p1ior to the disuibution y tern. Additionally cWorin is monitored when ater ample are taken throughout the distribution system. Records are maintained at the Cities office. Th r are no known water q11ality issues that can affect the chlorination process.

Emergency chlorination connections a1·e provided at the reservoir the discharge of the weU . Matt-Chlor Inc. provides emergency W r.ination equipment on an as needed basis.

Monitoring
Chlorine sampling is accompli bed daily with bacteria sampling being done w ekly throughout the distribution system. Table 1 indicates the maximum chlorine levels allowed during normal system operation. Disinfectant residual level for chlorine or chloramines shall not exceed those listed in Table 1 unless, under the direction of the Department of Health Services (DRS), higher levels of disinfectant are n cessary to protect the public health or address a specific contamination issue. Table 2 indicates the sampling site and their respective location to the source of supply. Figure 3 graphically shows the location of the variou distribution system-sampling point and sources of supply.

12 Samples are tested by Clinical Laboratories of City of Riverside for E.coli, fecal coli and coliform. The lab will immediately.notify (within 24 hours) the Cities and the DHS of any positive samples. If a routine sample is total coliform-positive, a repeat sample must be taken within 24 hours of notification. The repeat samples shall be taken within the same 24-hour period and shall consist of at least three samples for every total coliformpositive routine sample. When coJlecting repeat samples, at least one sample must be from the same sampling tap that produced the original total coliform-positive sample. At least one sample shall be taken within five service connections upstream and downstream of the point of the original positive sample unless there is no upstream or downstream service connection. If a repeat sample returns total coliform-positive, the DHS is to be immediately notified.

Chlorination Equipment
Gas chlorine provides primary chlorination. These units are capable of producing 50 pounds per day, should additional chlorine be required, the chlorinators can be upgraded to a 100 pound per day chlorinator concentration of gas chlorine. Injection is at each of the groundwater wells discharge. Piping changes to the inlet/outlet piping have been made to enhance the contact time. Lighting and ventilation are provided at each injection site. Matt-Chlor Inc. provides chlorine system maintenance.

System Maintenance
Matt-Chlor Inc. provides maintenance of the chlorine system including calibration of the chlorine test equipment.

An annual flushing program is utilized to flush the distribution system. All fire hydrants and isolation valves are exercised and tested at this time.

Main breaks on the older shallower lines are repaired under pressure utilizing repair clamps to minimize the possibility of back siphoning and contamination of the distribution system.

Record Keeping
Sampling reports and test results shall be retained for at least five years at the City Yard office. Additionally, the laboratory shall submit copies of all required bacteriological monitoring results directly to the DHS.

Emergency Contamination Procedures
If repeat samples are total coliform-positive, City's Water Authority and the DHS must be immediately notified and the effected system must be flushed, disinfected and resample until the contamination is alleviated. The City Manager in conjunction with one or both of the City's' certified operators, under the direction of the DHS, will determine the need for and the oversight of all emergency events.

IMEG Corp.

CRIMECAST ReportsWith a detailed, color-coded map and a spreadsheet of risk scores, users can identify potential asset protection concerns surrounding an address. A quick glance at the map shows the site in relation to its environment.The CRIMECAST Scores allow for an in-depth analysis of the overall crime risk.

CRIMECAST ScoresA The CAP Index Score represents the overall risk of crime at the address. • CRIMECAST Scores are based on a scale of 0 to 2000, with 0 representing the lowest risk and 2000 the highest – 100 is average. • A score of 600 is 6 times higher than average, and a score of 25 indicates that the risk is 1/4 the average.

CRIMECAST Maps
B There are over 215,000 block groups in the United States. Each one typically contains thousands of residents with similar socioeconomic characteristics. Every block group is assigned a numeric risk score and a coinciding risk shading.

C The Site Map is color-coded to depict the level of risk within each block group and identify the potential origin of criminal behavior. CAP Index Score ranges are used to assign risk shading similar to that of the green,yellow, and red color scheme found on a traffic light.

D The Contour Map shows the risk dispersion based on every point across the map being scored using our radius/threshold methodology. Points are then joined together to create contours.

E A radius threshold analysis is used to determine a site’s overall risk. The inner radius represents 1 mile or a population of 25,000, equaling 80% of the overall score. The outer radius represents 3 miles or a population of 100,000, providing the remaining 20%. In addition to the 3-milemethodology shown to the left, a 6-mile methodology is also available. This methodology applies an inner radius of 2 miles or a population of 100,000 and an outer radius of 6 miles or a population of 400,000.

Risk and Resiliance Assessment

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
2 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Executive Overview
After performing the Risk and Resilience Assessment on August 3 rd
, and 4
th 2020, there are some very important steps
that can be taken to mitigate exposure to the Water facilities and the City of Pico Rivera. These steps will ensure a safer and more secure work environment, without disturbing the amazing city culture and citizens of Pico Rivera. These measures can be implemented in multiple phases so that it is not an overwhelming project.

Building (Target) Hardening

FRONT ENTRANCE
The immediate observation was the external barrier to each water facility, and well site. The fences at most sites were chain-link which are easy to cut or run a vehicle through to gain entry. While I was there and interviewing the Supervisor for the Water Sites and the Facilities Supervisor, one of your sites with rod iron fencing was broken into by members of the homeless population. With water sites considered critical infrastructure to a city that breach would need to be fixed.

There are measure you can take to update and deny that terrain to personnel that want to gain entry. I would recommend more and better lighting at all your sites. Lighting is a great deterrent for individuals who want to gain access during the hours of darkness. I would add Intrusion technology at all sites. This could greatly mitigate the homeless regularly breaking in. After a loud audio alarm is triggered at a site when individualstry to gain access coupled with the new lighting system they will stop going there. You must make your sights not the path of least resistance for them to go somewhere else. Your Camera and Access control system needs to be updated as well. Currently access control at water sites is either handled by a chain around the gate with a lock or by a garage door opener. Both need to be updated to a card system which is harder to defeat and it also tracks who and at what time was in your facilities.

BRUSH AND BOLLARDS
At all sites I would add some Bollard protection to key areas as well as cut back the brush. The more brush and hiding spots around the perimeter of sights will allow for concealment of individuals trying to break, or sneak into a sight.

Policy and Procedures

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (ERP)
Workplace Violence and Active Shooter policy involving response need to be added to the ERP as soon as possible. You could make the other response areas more in depth as well.

ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE POLICY & PROCEDURE (MAY BE INCLUDED IN EAP) Develop a comprehensive Active Shooter Response Policy and Procedure.

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
3 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

OFFBOARDING PROCEDURE
Develop a robust offboarding policy that includes elements for preventing Workplace Violence, de-escalation techniques, etc. This is an important Policy as it serves as a structured guideline for terminations, specifically high-risk terminations, mitigating issues that can arise, or escalate, even during a somewhat “routine” termination.

Security Integration of Cameras and Access Control
Third-party Camera, Lighting, and Access Control needs to be looked at and updated. I recommend also looking at a mass communication system.

Food for Thought: Additional Security and Safety Recommendations • Perform an audit on the security company you currently use. All your cameras were dirty and had not had maintenance in a long time.
• Add IP Digital Cameras and get rid of Analog.
• Review if you need the eye wash stations at your facilities because of OSHA requirement or if you can remove them. The homeless break into the location to utilize the eyewash as a shower. If it is not needed, then remove.

Description of “Worst
Credible Risk Scenarios”
The worst-case scenario would be that of a city-wide water contamination and poisoning.

With the facilities having soft external security standards and ease of entry. I see the worstcase scenario as being an individual or group being able to plan and contaminate the water supply of a whole city.

This would bring great damage with both loss of life, as well as loss of trust, fines, and or damages. Public Works would be shut down for an unspecified period because the EPA and Federal Government would get involved along with locations becoming an active crime scene.

A City Continuity Plan needs to be developed, implemented, and rehearsed. It will be important for the brand, employees, customers, and visitors that Public Works and the City gets up and running quickly after any emergency event.

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
4 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Summary

1. Risk Assessment
Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
The facilities are in areas of higher
crime than the national average as
shown in the CAP Analysis which is
attached. However, most of it seems to
not touch your facilities.

Some theft and vandalism have been
noted in the immediate area, and
you continuously have an issue with
homeless breaking into facilities.

Improved lighting and physicalsecurity
barriers will help decrease the amount
of break ins by the homeless
population and other personnel.

Recommendation for a security design
upgrade.

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
5 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

2. Management Policies
Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
Most policies are in place as it relates
to emergency response. Some
responses do need to be developed still
or added to.

Management communicates well and
recognizes the need for updating and
improving policies and procedures.

Policies specifically related to work
place violence and active shooter are
either absent or need to be created.

A lot of procedures are known but
just not documented.

Update ERP to include workplace
violence and active shooter response
We also recommend that Management
sets up your own internal an Incident
Command System (ICS), and rehearse
through, at a minimum, Tabletop
Exercises and Drills.

Create policies where there are noted
gaps.

3. Physical Security

Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
Some Cameras are in place.

ID badges do exist.

The cameras that are currently
installed are not being monitored
throughout the business day, which
means no real-time, early warning of
a threat, nor the ability to respond to
an emergency that is taking place.

Most of the facilities are soft entries
with only a chain link fence for
protection. A vehicle or individuals
can easily gain entry numerous ways.

Cameras need to be updated and
serviced.

Intrusion Technology needsto be
added.

Better Lighting needs to be added.

Access control methods need to be
discussed for updating.

Assign specific individuals that would
have dedicated computer screens to
view the cameras while they work.

Security design of yoursystem
recommended.

Place vehicle barricades(bollards) at
the front and sides of the facilities.

Have a dedicated vendor for service of
camera system.

Update and install more lighting.

Install a true mass notification system.

There is a large gap and need for
intrusion technology and access
control.

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
6 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

4. Access Control
Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
You have a few locations with stronger
external gates with openers.

No way to track who has entered a
certain facility or area.

External chain link fences are weak.

Some facilities are only secured with
a chain and lock.

Facilities with chain-link should be
updated to iron fencing.

Add access control technology to every
location.

5. Employee Security

Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
The onboarding process of conducting
background screening should help
mitigate unnecessary personnel issues.

There is no photo ID policy in place,
which if used, would help aid in
identification of employees, visitors,
and access control, in general.

A phone roster for notification of
emergencies is updated, provided
employees let Human Resources
know of a changed or deleted phone
number. As of now the roster is only
updated every year.

It seems that the city does an
excellent job during offboarding;
however, there is no formal,
offboarding check list or policy.

Institute a policy that requires that
Photo ID badges must be worn and
that they are always visible when on
company property.

Send out update emails quarterly to
ensure the company has everyone’s
correct numbers and contact
information. This can also be used for
accountability purposes during an
actual emergency.

Create a policy and checklist to be
followed for offboarding.

6. Information Security
Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
IT seems to have a great grasp on IT
Security and Storage.

Allsystems and programs are backed
up and duplicated in real-time at an
offsite location.

None currently. None currently as IT is updating any
gaps and closing them.

7. Material Security

Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
The public works HQ does not have a
lot of theft-prone material on property,
other than computers and office
equipment, or high-value scrap
material, which cuts down
tremendously on the possibility of
theft.

Packages and other mail are not
screened.

Ensure packages are screened while
mail is sorted.

8. Emergency Response

Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
There is documentation for numerous
emergencies.

An ERP is in place.

Some areas of ERP have gaps
Workplace Violence and Active
Shooter are not mentioned in ERP.

Add more content in the response
areas to the ERP.

Add the missing noted emergencies to
the ERP.

FACILITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
8 Pico Rivera Water Authority 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

1. Crisis Communication
Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
Public works is a city system so the city
EOC will reinforce handling of crisis.

Currently no true mass
communication system in place.

Conduct an “all-employee”
“Communication” and “Dealing with
the Press” annual briefing.

Shop for a mass communication system
that will integrate well with other
physical security systems.

10. Reviews/Audits

Observed Strengths Observed Weaknesses Recommendations
The city is proactively taking steps to
audit and assess their facilities.

A Water Risk and Resilience Assessment
is underway.

At this time, Drills and Rehearsals are
not being done.

Conduct Drills and Rehearsals.

Establish training program for various
emergencies and how to respond to
them.

Establish a training calendar for Safety
and Security topics i.e., Active Shooter
Response, Fire, Bomb Threat,
Workplace Violence Prevention, Sexual
Harassment Awareness, etc.
