These entitlements were subject to renegotiation by mutual agreement in 1985, as they were in 1975 when no change occurred, and the annual entitlement is subject to reduction in "Critical Water Years." In 1992, 2007, 2014, and 2015 the Bureau decreased Redding's Project Supply entitlement by 25 percent.
In 1967, the City of Redding took over Buckeye County Water District facilities and the rights to a 1964 USBR contract. In February 1971, the City executed a new USBR contract to serve the Buckeye service area. In November 1994, the City amended this contract with the Bureau to add the Spring Creek Conduit as a point of diversion for the new Buckeye Water Treatment Plant. The Buckeye Contract’s annual entitlement is also subject to reduction in "Critical Water Years." In 1992, 2008, 2009, and 2012 the Bureau decreased the Buckeye Contract Supply entitlement by 25 percent and in 2014, the contract entitlement was decreased by 50 percent. In 2015, the contract entitlement was decreased by 75 percent. This contract with the Bureau of Reclamation, which runs through February 28, 2045, allows Redding to obtain 6,140 acre-feet of water per year. The 2021/22 delivery from that contract was 6,140 acre-feet. Water charges under this contract total approximately $82.54 per acre-foot ($35.07 average water cost, $22.23 average restoration, $0.15 Trinity PUD fee and a $25.00 foregone power charge per acre-foot). Despite the cutbacks in previous years, the City's water supply was sufficient to meet its needs.
The Foothill Water Treatment Plant was constructed in 1981. The plant has a rated capacity of 28 million gallons per day (MGD). Facilities provide for online filtration following the existing sedimentation basin and a 6 million gallon (MG) covered storage reservoir. Both these additions were needed to meet the requirements of the State of California, Department of Public Health Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management.

Current System
Buckeye Zone
The Buckeye Water District water system was acquired by the City of Redding in 1967 following dissolution of that District. Water supply for that District was extremely limited. Upon assuming the operation of the Buckeye system, the City of Redding provided the additional supply by pumping from the northern end of its water system.
Pump House No. 3, located at the foot of North Market Street hill, and Pump House No. 4, off Benton Drive northeast of the Diestlehorst Bridge, serve the Buckeye Zone. Storage for the Buckeye Zone is located off Lake Boulevard, outside the City limits, near Walker Mine Road. Two steel reservoirs exist at this site--one 200,000- gallon tank and one 2 MG tank with an overflow elevation of 955 feet above mean sea level (msl). In 2002, an additional 4 MG reservoir was constructed ¼ mile east of the Buckeye Water Treatment Plant with an overflow elevation of 1,034 feet msl.
Packet Pg. 963 Attachment: ACFR - FY Ended June 30, 2022 (9.10(a)--Annual Comprehensive Financial Report-year ended June 30, 2021) 256
The Buckeye Water Treatment Plant (BWTP), completed in January 1995, serves the Buckeye Zone. The BWTP is located in unincorporated Shasta County, off Benson Drive, north of Rock Creek Road. The water plant has an interconnection to the USBR Spring Creek Conduit. Treated water is conveyed from the treatment plant through five miles of transmission main to the Buckeye area. The initial treatment capacity was 7 MGD with the ability to expand to 28 MGD capacity. In 2007, construction was completed on an expansion of the treatment plant to 14 MGD capacity. Along with the treatment plant expansion, 8,000 feet of 30-inch water transmission main was installed to provide treated water to the Buckeye Pressure Zone. This treatment plant meets all the existing United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations, including the 1986 & 1996 Safe Water Drinking Act amendments. The treatment plant also meets all the requirements of the California State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management. (State regulatory authority was transferred from the California Department of Public Health to the California State Water Resources Control Board during the summer 2014.)
Foothill and Hill 900 Zones
Construction of Redding’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP) was completed in September 1981. The treatment plant consists of pre-chlorination and chemical treatment followed by filtration and post-chlorination.
River water from Pump House No. 1, located on the south side of the Sacramento River, west of the Diestlehorst Bridge, enters the treatment plant through a 36-inch main. In 2006, Pump Station No. 1 Fish Screen Retrofit Project was completed to meet the requirements of the CAL-FED Anadromous Fish Screen Program. In 2010, an additional 30-inch main from Pump House No. 1 was installed to the FWTP.
At the FWTP, chlorine is added for disinfection and odor control. Water then flows through dual media filtration and is post-chlorinated prior to entering a 6 MG covered storage reservoir.
Finished water storage for water produced at FWTP is provided as follows:
1. One 6 MG covered storage reservoir at the treatment plant, and one 4 MG steel reservoir at Foothill Blvd, each with an overflow elevation of 743 feet msl.
2. One 2.0 MG pre-stressed concrete reservoir and one 2 MG steel reservoir having an overflow elevation of 925 feet msl near the FWTP at the top of Hill 900.
The Foothill Zone is served by gravity flow from the Foothill reservoirs. The Hill 900 Zone is served by Pump House No. 2, which is located at the treatment plant and is taking suction from the 48-inch main served by the 6 MG reservoir. An additional booster pump was added to the El Reno booster pump station in 1995. This supply is an additional 1.4 MGD to the southern end of the Hill 900 Zone from the Cascade Zone, if necessary.
Enterprise Zone
In 1976, the Enterprise Public Utility District and the City of Redding voted to annex the Enterprise District to the City of Redding. Shortly after this, responsibility for the Enterprise water system was assumed by the City of Redding.
The system was served originally by five wells located over the Enterprise Sub-basin of the Redding Groundwater Basin. However, in 1978, the Cross Town Main, a large pipeline, was constructed which enabled the City to serve the Enterprise and Cascade areas with water from the FWTP. In 1985, approximately five miles of 12, 16, and 24-inch transmission mains were constructed from the Enterprise well fields on Goodwater Avenue to serve the U.S. Forest Service and Municipal Airport off Airport Road. In 1986, three 2 MGD capacity wells were added to the Enterprise Zone. In 1988, a 24-inch transmission main was constructed from Goodwater Avenue along Rancho Road westerly via South Bonnyview Road to the Cascade Zone. In 2002, 2.5 miles of 24-inch transmission main was constructed from Rancho Road north along Airport Road in the Enterprise Zone to maximize the production of the groundwater wells. In 1991, another 2 MGD capacity well was added to the Enterprise Zone. Two additional 2 MGD capacity wells were added during 2003. In 2007, another 2 MGD capacity well was added to the Enterprise Zone and in 2008, an additional 2 MGD capacity well was added.

Groundwater is treated with orthopolyphosphate for iron and manganese annoyances and chlorine is used for disinfection.
The main storage reservoirs are located above the Quail Ridge Subdivision off Canby Road. Two steel storage tanks are located at the same site, with a capacity of 3.5 and 6.0 MG and an overflow elevation of 706 feet msl.
During periods of peak demand, these tanks and the well field, at the southwestern boundary of the zone, and treated water from the FWTP through the Cross-Town water main, supply the entire system from three directions.
Hilltop-Dana Zone
The Hilltop-Dana pressure zone is located north of Highway 44 and east of Interstate 5 and is supplied from the Enterprise Zone by Pump Station No. 5, and the Buckeye Zone by gravity.
Cascade Zone
The supply source for this zone comprises five wells, located over the Anderson Sub-basin, with a maximum capacity of 0.75 MGD. This supply is augmented by connection to the south end of Redding's central system, and in 1978, the Cross-Town water main was completed. This supply can furnish up to 3.2 MGD to the Cascade area.
Additional supply is obtained by a large transmission main connecting the Cascade Zone to the Enterprise well system via South Bonnyview Road. This supply can furnish an additional 2 MGD. In the summer 1995, a booster pump station was installed on the South Bonnyview transmission main to increase the supply to the Cascade Zone to 4.3 MGD.
In 1985, the City took over the operation of the Pinal Water Company serving the Westwood Manor Subdivision located off State Route 273 south. The subdivision is currently being supplied water from the FWTP through two 8-inch interconnections. Storage to the Cascade Zone is provided by a 1 MG tank located off Kenyon Drive and a 2 MG tank in the Redding Ranchettes area. Both tanks have an overflow elevation of 696 feet msl.
Condition of System
The City of Redding maintains a well-trained and well-equipped work force. Its primary function is to operate the system, make systematic inspections as part of the preventive maintenance program, and plan and construct replacements. Undersized and old lines are being replaced when maintenance costs indicate that they should be replaced or additional capacities are needed. The City of Redding maintains a Water Master Plan; revisions to the system are programmed, designed, and installed in accordance with this plan. The system is well-maintained in all regards, including raw water supply, pumping structures, equipment, transmission lines, and water treatment facilities. However, continual renewed investment in capital facilities such as distribution pipelines, reservoirs, and wells will be necessary to maintain the current level of service, due to the demands of population growth and aging infrastructure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND
ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Redding
Redding, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Redding, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 16, 2022. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the Investment in Joint Ventures of the Transmission Agency of Northern California as described in our report on the City’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (“internal control”) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. 259

Redding, California
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control or on compliance.
This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
