DISCUSSION ITEMS

2. Chino Well #1 Property Exchange.

Tom gave presentation

Committee Comments/Recommendations
Tom said we want to keep it because we may need it in the future.

Mayor Robertson asked Tom if the Well has levels of nitrate. Tom said yes; however they are not above the MCL , but very close. Mayor Robertson asked if that was part of the school area where the busses run. Tom said it’s at the corner of Cactus and Rialto Ave.

Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked if it was an approved project? Tom said no, they haven’t presented it to the City. Mayor Pro Tem said we should find out if they have done a phase 1 and/or phase 2. He said that he hopes that someone looks at the ingress an d egress.

Marcus said he will have that checked.

Marcus asked Robert , said we have to follow the Circle Lands Act if we are doing an exchange to do something. Robert responded to Marcus; he believes 5000 square feet will trigger.

Robert said, there is an exemption for exchange where the Publication is going to use the property.
4 Mayor Robertson asked if we adopted an Ordinance for 300 feet. Mayor Pro Tem Scott said no.

MPT said we should be open to it, Mayor agreed.

Tom said, the company name is Lincoln Property.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if it’s zoned. Tom does not have that information.

3. Mid Basin Operable Unit Alternate Treatment Locations.

Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor Pro Tem Scott asked about the negotiation we agreed to work with Fontana Water to go after the County. Mayor Pro Tem Scott said we are not renegotiating.

Tom said, they agreed if we couldn’t get the County to increase, they will pick up the difference. In our last agreement, the county increased it for us.

Mayor Pro Tem said, we negotiated with Fontana, we did not negotiate with the county.

Tom said, we negotiated with Fontana on the settlement agreement; if we couldn’t get to the County to pay for, we will go to Fontana.

Mayor Pro Tem said, we agreed to help Fontana Water to go after the county. He asked if the money comes from Fontana Water. Tom responded, it comes from the County, and they pay the increase. Mayor Pro Tem said , we are not giving them the three-year extension without renegotiating the price.

Mayor said in the future we need to have Tom attend these meetings.

Mayor Robertson said , we need to move the County of the dime in dealing with the improvement at the Rialto Channel.

Mayor Pro Tem asked why the discussion of increasing the water.

MPT said why would we want to give up water rights to help them. Tom said that we wouldn’t be giving it up, we could sale it. Mayor said who would we sale to, he said West Valley. This is a no, by all. Tom said he understands that we are going to raise the rate the County is giving us and no to giving up water rights.

Mayor Robertson said, we needed to talk about security.

Mayor Robertson is concerned about ended up having the City to provide some of our water to help. Tom said, that is not in the options. Mayor Robertson said, she had asked if that can be on the table for us at the Subcommittee.

Marcus said, we don’t have a formal proposal from them. Mayor Pro Tem said, we should not have a meeting with these people without an attorney. Mayor Robertson said , we need to decide what we want before we ask anybody to give us something in writing.

Mayor Robertson asked Tom if the lines for option 1 are existing lines. Tom said no, they have to be constructed. Mayor Robertson asked Tom where will EW1 treat the water.

Tom responded, at the new combined remedy which is built at Linden and Mir o Way facility. Mayor Robertson wanted to know Colton’s relationship to this. Tom said it’s west and south. Tom said, if we didn’t use Colton’s systems, option 1, and we only use the West Valley system, option 2, then West Valley will overproduce by 1600-acre feet; they will need to deliver 1600-acre feet to the Cactus basin from their own system. Therefore, Colton and Rialto will not get involve in the exchange. Mayor Robertson asked Tom how they would know if they have sufficient water to put into their system to treat it; where will 5 they pull the water from. Tom said, this well. Mayor Robertson asked how they will take the water back to their site. Tom said, they will use the 5-mile pipeline they have wanted to build. Mayor Robertson asked why we have to deal with the 5-mile pipeline when it is something they have to figure it out. She asked if this was part of the plan. Tom said no.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if they are going to track the water, treat it, and send it to Colton. Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom, what is the plan on the table that the people seemed to like. Tom said Plan 2, which it will only go to West Valley’s IX treatment plant; it will go from the contaminated to the treatment system at the Rialto HS. Tom said West Valley will do their exchange within their own system.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if they would do that with the existing pipes. Tom said , they might need to construct some additional pipes to deliver to Basin -3. He asked Tom if there is a model that shows th at this pumping in the south-in does not draw the plume further toward Riverside. Tom said the purpose of the study was to identify the well that will cutoff the plume moving south to Riverside. Mayor Pro Tem told Tom if they decided the well is down there , vs containing the plume up here. Tom said the source operable units main job is to cutoff the plume from moving south.

Mayor Pro Tem Scott said, EW1 should capture the plume; theoretically, if you’re pulling further south, it’s pulling some of the contaminate that it’s out of the area EW1 and diluting it. Mayor Pro Tem said it’s a matter of delusion. He asked Tom who is behind this scheme.

Tom told Mayor Pro Tem that was the strategy of the containment.

Mayor Pro Tem told Tom the original strategy was to pick a fence to hold it and for all the contaminants to be drawn out.

Tom responded if they put a fence to stop it and then do treatment to pull it back out, hydraulically, it’s going to flow south. Tom said if everything gets intercept ed above that well, it’s not going to pull from above EW1, it will pull from below EW1. Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom what’s around EW1. Tom does not have that information.

Mayor Robertson said it’s taking us a while to get the well in.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom when we are getting EW1 online. Tom said probably we are 3 months away from an appointment, probably July of this year . Tom said they are evaluating whether to do a Public Hearing.

Mayor Robertson asked Tom why they would not do a Public Hearing. Tom said it’s a DDW decision. Mayor Robertson asked Tom what if someone request a Public Hearing under environmental justice concerns. She doesn’t think anybody with the right mind will want to bypass that point to move forward. Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if we are still under the plan for Colton to receive water out of EW1 with their well shut down. Tom said yes. Mayor Pro Tem said we are just move water back and forth; he said it does not make a lot of sense . Tom responded, option 2 is the best alternative. Tom talked about the issue with the grant for the FBR project and approaching the State Water Resources Control Board to argue the FBR project serves its purpose. Marcus told Tom they are assuming they are not going to have contaminants; it might not be accurate. Marcus added, they were up to the point where they didn’t have to pump anymore.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if there is contamination in the well. Tom said Well 6. Mayor Pro Tem said once EW1 fires up, theoretically, goes away. 6 Marcus said they are going to build 5-mile pipeline and destroy neighborhoods. Tom said RTX and UTC do not want to use the FBR project; they prefer to do the extraction well and use IX.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom how they got convinced to make the deal if they really don’t want to do it. Tom responded, access to water rights. Mayor Pro Tem said West Valley doesn’t have water rights to begin with. Tom said yes, they are limited.

Marcus asked Tom if we have a concern about getting high up with the County on discharging that water into the Cactus Basin; th e discharge water is clean. Tom said it would not be a concern.

Marcus asked Tom if he is comfortable, he got a member from West Valley around this option. Tom responded yes.

Mayor Robertson asked Marcus if Wayne responded to his comments. Marcus said yes, they are going to respond to his comments; they gave him a time frame. Tom said Wayne wants information by the end of this month.

Mayor Robertson asked about the pipelin e (blue piping construction) . Tom said that pipeline will impact the area of San Bernardino area. She asked if San Bernardino is part of the table. She doesn’t think San Bernardino is part of the decree. Tom said no.

Mayor Robertson asked how that resonates to the rest of the members in terms of contamination and the way it will impact other communities.

Marcus will reach out to his colleague at San Bernardino to discuss

Mayor said they closed us out of the discussion, they craft up something that impacts us, we are on the end trying to fix something that we were never apart of the discussion in the first place. She wants to figure out what would be the less impact to the communities.

Tom is saying that he wants to submit an option for Wayne. MPT said not until he speaks to the attorneys. Mayor agrees, she wants to get more clarification from the attorneys.

Marcus will bring in attorney at the closed session on May 10. MPT said that the y need to keep the leadership involved. Mayor said that those ladies from EPA they were going to put the feasibility study on hold.

Marcus asked if it would be appropriate for him to meet with Tom and Peter Wiener. MPT said they waited 10 years for EW1 to come online. Mayor said that we need to write a letter to Martha? to let her know , regarding not seeing her and concerned about the feasibility study and time frames. Make sure she is onboard with what staff is doing.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Marcus if they had working session before the meetings. Marcus said yes. Mayor Pro Tem wants to have more work sessions before meeting with Council.

Marcus said he was concerned that West Valley wasn’t going to drop the wanting of using the FBR treatment facility. Mayor Robertson asked Tom if he crystalized the 2 suggestions from their previous discussion. Tom said, these are the 2 options they were presented to Council. Mayor Pro Tem told Tom he only discussed concepts not water rights, recharging, or moving stuff around.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if we build those 8,000 houses, do we have water rights. Tom said no, that is West Valley service area.

There is concern that the Planning department doesn’t understand about how we will get water to those 8,000 houses. Mayor Robertson said when we talk about facilities capacities, we need to talk about reliability and availability. 7 MPT said that we have added waste area
Peter provided information about waste treatment. Steve made comments too.

Mayor Pro Tem said there hasn’t been a discussion with the 3 cities, 4 agencies to discuss will serve letters, water rights, and build outs.

Marcus asked about the delay from the State, is it on purpose they don’t issue the permit.

Marcus said we should have our representatives involve.

Mayor Robertson talked about delta pipes and the aqueduct investment. She also mentioned there is enough water in Bunker Hill equate to Shasta Lake; if we don’t keep replenishing, charging, and adding state water in, it will start dropping.

4. Final Construction Work Authorization to Rialto Water Services in the amount of $1,563,953 for the Activation of Digester No. 1 and the Rehabilitation of Digester No. 2.

Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor asked if Digester 1 is older than Digester 2. Tom said, they are almost the same age. Tom said, they only use one at a time. Tom said they took 1 and cleaned it, it looked good in the inside. Marcus asked Tom why Digester 1 was not activated. Tom said n o because they were still using Digester 2. Tom said 2 needs to come down , it will take a 6-month process to bring 1 online. Tom talked about a detailed work plan Veolia put together to bring it online. Marcus asked Tom if they are having another digester cover.

Tom does not know if it’s going to have another fix lid or Dystor cover.

Tom said the total cost is approx. $1.6 m. to cover the project and would like to bring it to the Utilities Commission and then Council.

Tom said that he will bring to Utilities commission and then Council

5. Riverside Avenue Central Water Line Project

Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson asked Tom when it was ever scheduled on the plans, they were doing waterlines. Tom said they were not. He said the line is in good shape but not the valves; however, if they want to pave, they will have to replace them.

Mayor Pro Tem recalls years ago the valves were in good shape.

Mayor Robertson said that we keep talking about things that needed to be done.

Side Note
Mayor Robertson asked Tom if we have looked for the s tatus on where we are for the Fiber Optic Plan in our City. She said we keep digging, trenching , and doing things but never take the opportunity to use that trench and build fiber optic.

Mayor Pro Tem asked if it’s our responsibility to build fiber optic. Mayor Robertson said we have fiber optic somewhere in place and we haven’t completed it.

Mayor Robertson said every time we want to use our recycle water, we never planned to try to connect the prototype system.

Marcus said there is a new c ompany that just approached the City that wants to extend fiber optic along Riverside all the way to new Lytle Creek development; they are from the East coast.
8 Mayor Pro Tem asked if we are notifying all the agencies, such AT&T while we are checking the waterlines along Riverside.

Peter said we are talking about Communications Plan. She would like to know where it supposed to go if we are moving away from fiber optic . Marcus said we have Utility coordination. She wants to see the Fiber Optic plan.

She wants to know what we have done, have we been able to create any savings in terms of water/conservation. Mayor would like to see the analytics regarding conservation. Tom said he will look into that.

Returned to item:

Marcus said that the plans for the central section should be wrapped up by the middle of May. He will bring it to Council by the end of May for approval bid. Marcus said he is looking to be awarded by August. He added, the south segment of Riverside got a bid last Friday. Mayor Pro Tem asked how much cheaper they are. Marcus said it was not cheaper, the low bid for the prior project was $ 7.6 m. He said the bid we have now, we revised it, so it is night work only. Marcus said, the low bidder bid $10.6 m. the first time and now his bid is $9.6 m.

Mayor Robertson asked Marcus, what was our engineering estimate. Marcus told Mayor Robertson he does not have that information now, but he knows it’s within the budget for that project . Mayor Robertson wants to make sure the engineering’s estimate is not different from what they have estimated from the beginning. Marcus told Mayor Robertson he will work on having that information ready.

Mayor Robertson asked Tom if we are doing any testing for anything around that water.

Tom said no. She said, we need to do testing. Mayor Pro Tem wants to know if they see any discoloration or smell solvent. Tom responded yes; if there’s anything, they will give them the heads up for them to go look at it.

Steve told Tom he might want to move it to the north side of Randall; the sidewalk is corroding. Tom told Steve if we move it to the north side on the east side, there is a big Edison pole, we w ill not be able to go there. Tom said south east is the most desirable option. Marcus asked if we are good to move forward with designs and betting for the waterline repairs. Mayor Pro Tem and Mayor Robertson agreed to move forward.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom if we are good with the south portion project. Tom said there are no serious issues there ; they are in the process of doing the north end. He added, they keep them up today on the progress; they might be done by the middle of June, according to the last conference call they had with them.

Mayor Robertson asked Tom other than conference calls, how they communicate they are fine. Tom said our Project Manager communicates with them through emails, phone calls. He said out in the field, we have inspectors and contractors.

Mayor Pro Tem asked Tom why we are potholing the south end. Tom said they ha ve enough data on the depth of their valves.

Mayor Robertson wants to formalize something; she mentioned issues she has with the neighbor’s community about not notifying mayor projects , such as the one on Baseline and Meridian . Mayor Robertson wants the c ommunity to be aware and express they thoughts.

9 UPDATES

Next Water Subcommittee Meetings

May 25, 2022

Peter asked Marcus if he needs further guidance on loan application process. Marcus said we have clear direction to start process and move forward. Peter said in order to get there, we are starting loan applications. Peter said we are carrying the cost of that on behalf of the City and the out of pocket expensive related to that. He will bring updates to next Council meeting. Marcus told Peter to bring more information about the loan applications to the next Water Subcommittee.

Marcus talked about the discussion on the last Water Subcommittee; he said we need to move forward on the critical projects and the finance with Lithia loans.

Peter said we have been approved with Lithia process if we don’t proceed within six months, we are out.

Peter said he will bring a Capital Structure Cleaning Process to the next meeting ; it will include SRF and Lithia financing information.

13 RWS is addressing
two needs:
- Financial coverage
requirements
- Raising capital for
next gen FIP/CIP 5 –
year plan
In fiscal 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22, reserves
were needed to meet coverage and fund operating
expenses in the water utility.

Looking forward over the next five years FY 2023-
2028, the need intensifies in the water utility.

The wastewater utility is adequately funded. An
inflation adjustment is recommended over the next
5 years.

The financing process is raising $35 MM for water
and $27.4 MM wastewater core projects 2022-
2028. And up to $75 MM for Special Projects.

Funds-
Repayment
 Use of WIFIA and SRF is optimized to achieve lowest cost of capital  WIFIA 5-10 year deferral option offers important economic advantages  Looking back to October presentation, water utility requires a 2.5% to 3.0% annual rate increase over 5 years to support coverage and capital projects  Wastewater financials are stable . inflation adjustment recommended  Special projects are addressed separately from non-discretionary Core Infrastructure  Total size of program matches WIFIA application noting discretionary nature of Special Projects  Prioritization process for Special Projects continues through November to a final decision point  Focus on funding sources for Special Projects
 RWS sources completes funding

For Water Subcommittee Meeting [May 25, 2022]
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities Manager
Placement of Sewer Service Charges on the County Property Tax Roll for Delinquent Accounts.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Rialto (City)/Rialto Utility Authority (RUA) provides sewer services throughout the entire City and areas of Bloomington. Where RUA provides water service, both water and sewer services are billed together. For delinquent accounts, the RUA is able to impose penalties and shut off water services to promote payment, per Rialto Municipal Code Section 12.08. However, there are areas of the City where either the West Valley Water District or the Fontana Water Company provides water services and the RUA only bills for sewer service. The sewer-only accounts have high delinquency rates, as the RUA cannot disconnect services for lack of payment.

In order to collect sewer-only accounts more effectively, the Rialto Municipal Code Section 12.08.201 was amended to allow for placement of delinquent charges on property tax bills through the County Tax Collector’sOffice. The Ordinance approved on June 19, 2007, provides a method for collecting delinquent accounts similar to the lien placement process used for solid waste delinquent accounts.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

During the spring of each year, staff develops a list of properties to be levied for delinquent sewer fees. Once the list of properties to be levied has been completed, the list will be compared with the most recent County property ownership data. Changes will be incorporated into the final list which is then submitted to the County. This list is comprised of accounts where the account owner, who is delinquent on sewer payments, is the same as the current property owner per the County secured tax roll. Once created, this list is presented to the City Council/Rialto Utility Authority Board for permission to place the delinquent sewer fees on the tax rolls.

The total levy amount for Fiscal Year 2021/22 is estimated to be approximately $970,000 for 1,654 delinquent accounts. Below are some details about the accounts.

Currently the City offers a discount to low income and senior customers by reducing their Monthly Services Charge by 20%. As of this month we have 52 customers that receive the low-income discount and 3,231 customers that receive the Senior discount. The table below shows the number of customers that are identified on this proposed tax roll.

Below is a table that shows the number of customers notified that they may be placed on the tax roll versus the customers that came in and paid prior to being placed on the tax roll versus the customers that were eventually placed on the tax roll. An average of 1,304 parcels were placed on the tax roll for 2019, through 2021.

Below is a table that shows the number of parcels that are on the proposed tax roll and were place on a previous year’s tax roll and compared to this year proposed tax roll list.

Below is a table that shows the number of parcels that have shown up on multiple tax rolls.

State Water Resources Water and Wastewater Arrearage Programs Water Arrearages
In September 2021 the City responded to a survey request by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) conducting an arrearages survey for water systems. The purpose of this survey was to collect necessary data to allow the SWRCB to determine the extent of residential and commercial drinking water arrearages and COVID-19 related water system revenue loss and City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
28 File #: WS-22-499, Version: 1, Agenda #: 2
commercial drinking water arrearages and COVID-19 related water system revenue loss and establish eligibility. Also, to collect the necessary paperwork to process direct payments to water systems for Residential and Commercial drinking water arrearages and COVID- 19 related water system debt.

The information collected in the survey was meant to collect data on COVID-19 related residential and commercial customer debt and COVID-19 related revenue loss accrued between March 4, 2020, through June 15, 2021.

After the survey period ended that SWRCB requested a formal application to be submitted. The City submitted the water arrearages application in November 2021 requesting $402,237 and received the funds in February 2022. The funds were applied to the water accounts that qualified for the program by the end of March 2022.

Wastewater Arrearages
The SWRCB made a similar request for the wastewater arrearages. This time they did not require that we submit a questionnaire, they went directly to an application. The City submitted a wastewater arrearages application in April 2022 to the SWRCB in the amount of $567,793 and were notified that our application was complete at the beginning of May 2022. They also informed the City that it would take 4-6 weeks to disburse the funds. We anticipate applying the funds to the individual sewer accounts by the middle of July 2022.

Low Income Household Water Assistance Program
One of the programs that will assist customers in paying their utility bills is the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This program is a CalHHS (Health and Human Services) program, which is administered by CalCSD (Community Services and Development), a branch of CalHHS. Horne LLC has been contracted as the “Funds Disbursement Partner”. RWS has enrolled in the program for the City of Rialto. Primary contacts are Nancy Jackson, Veolia Customer Service Supervisor) and Rolf Ohlemutz, RWS General Manager.

The Program will disburse $87 million starting 6/3/22 until funds run out but not after 8/15/2023.

Maximum disbursement per household is $2,000. Disbursement covers water and wastewater past- due charges, current charges, late fees, wastewater collected on the tax roll, and remaining balances of customers on payment plans. The program will even accommodate rental agreements structured to include the owner’s water and wastewater costs.

The outreach for the program and the determination of eligibility for customers will be provided by CalCSD’ssystem of LSPs (Local Service Providers). The LSP for Rialto is the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County. Eligible households are those who are current recipients of Food Stamps, TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). Eligibility may also be based on a household income of 60 percent of the State Median Household Income ($48,264 annually based on 2021 Median).

Schedule/Levy Process
To meet the County submittal deadline, several things must occur, most notably, a list must be presented to the City Council/Rialto Utility Authority Board of properties meeting the criteria for placement of liens with the County and a public hearing must be held to approve the levy.

City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™
29 File #: WS-22-499, Version: 1, Agenda #: 2
placement of liens with the County and a public hearing must be held to approve the levy.

Notification letters will be sent to the delinquent account holders alerting them of the RUA’splan to place the delinquent charges on the property tax roll and giving them one last opportunity to pay. The last date for a customer to pay their delinquent sewer bill before placement on the tax rolls is June 24, 2022. Once the list of properties to be levied has been completed, the list will be compared with the most recent County property ownership data. Changes will be incorporated into the final list which is then submitted to the County.

If the City were to post levies for this fiscal year, the following tasks must be completed by the deadlines listed below:

Water Turn-off Moratorium
On March 12, 2020, the City Council/Rialto Utility Authority Board adopted Resolution 7600 declaring a local emergency in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. And as directed by Council/RUA, customers experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 due to the loss of a job or illness, are being helped with payment arrangements and the deferral of payments until a later date. Also, per Council/RUA direction, utility turn-offs have been suspended until further notice and late fees/penalties will not be assessed to any customer account.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Operating Budget Impact
The levy is comprised of accounts where the account owner is the same as the current property owner per the County secured tax roll. The potential total levy amount is estimated at $970,000 and there are approximately 1,652 delinquent accounts. The County of San Bernardino charges $0.30 per parcel for the use of their services and this amount will be added to the levy and collected by the City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 4 of 5

per parcel for the use of their services and this amount will be added to the levy and collected by the County of San Bernardino.

Capital Improvement Budget Impact
There is no impact to the Capital Improvement Budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that a Public Hearing be set for June 28, 2022, to receive public comment related to the placement of charges on the County Property Tax Roll for delinquent sewer payments.

Fiscal Year 2020/21 Water OR&R Table 2 Summary
Water projects listed in Table 2 were reviewed to ensure any work required to be performed under the listed projects were not duplicated. Highlights of the water projects listed in Table 2 are described below:
• W2021-04 - We have inadequate redundancy in the distribution system. We are rehabbing this water well to bring another water source to our distribution system; this well has been out of service since 2013. The findings of this rehab were that this well is not adequate for refurbish at this time.
• W2021-05 - We performed a cleaning and inspection of the highland reservoir. This project provides the City with safe potable drinking water. In addition, DDW requires reservoirs to be cleaned and inspected every five (5) years.
• W2021-10 - SCADA program updates are required every two to three years, ensuring these systems are up to date is crucial for accurate data and reliable reporting to regulatory agencies. Currently we are adding assets into the SCADA system and creating additional worksheets to collect data for regulatory agencies.
• W2021-13 - The motor shorted out, which required a complete rebuild and rewind including a new starter, breaker, and new main breaker. The soft start and wiring needed to be replaced due to the motor shorting. Breaker replacement, ground fault testing was performed and calibrated, which ensures the electrical reliability of the system. • W2021-14 - A main line (10 inch) from 1956 leaked and damaged 78 linear feet of asphalt, curb, and driveway approach. Repaired main line and performed surfaces restoration to the affected areas. Due to the poor condition of the main line, it is recommended that it be replaced under a CIP project in the near future.
• W2021-15 - Due to a trench failure from a leaking water main, the main line was repaired and performed surface restoration to the damaged areas.
• W2021-16 - There was a leaking two (2) inch copper service line (from stub out to center median), in which we removed the 2-inch service from main line and performed surface restoration to the affected areas. This line was meant for future median expansion that was canceled and since this service line is no longer needed; by removing it we are preventing City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 4 of 9

future leaks.
• W2021-17 - The motor at Rialto Well 3 shorted causing damage to the windings and bearings.

The motor was sent for a complete rebuild and rewind. Rialto well 3 now has a complete rebuilt motor, which provides electrical reliability of the system.

All Water FY 2020/21 OR&R project descriptions are included as Attachment 2. The attachment includes the project title, a description of the problem or repair needed, estimated remaining life of the asset or facility, recommended solution and other facts that were considered in the process to select projects for inclusion in the OR&R.

The following Wastewater and Water projects shown in Tables 3 & 4 below are planned for FY 2021/22; however, it is anticipated that some of the listed projects will need to be moved to FY 2022/23 due to being limited to budgets of $550,000 and $300,000 (in addition to the carryover) for Wastewater and Water respectively.

Fiscal Year 2020/21 Wastewater OR&R Table 3 Summary
Highlights of the wastewater projects listed in Table 3 are described below:
· WW2021-27. The check valve is broken on the discharge side of blower #4, unable to completely close, allowing air to pass through.
· WW2122-01. Gate is inoperable causing Inability to isolate the influent flow to the wet well.

This prevents proper inspection, and cleaning of pumps. · WW2122-02. Several sanitary pipes currently have defects in which these segments have an increased risk for sanitary sewer overflow events. While the entire main sewer line needs to be replaced, this project(s) would address any emergency needs. · WW2122-04. There is no reliable backup power for the SCADA system. Loss of SCADA would mean the on-call operator will not be able to see plant processes in addition to not being City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 5 of 9

36 File #: WS-22-494, Version: 1, Agenda #: 3
able to make any needed process changes.
· WW2122-05. Sanitary sewer lines that are undersized and/or deteriorated must be replaced to prevent infiltration and exfiltration. This project addresses unplanned collection system failures as identified by CCTV.
· WW2122-06. The sole Plant 5 Primary Clarifier removes solids (sludge) from the wastewater stream. Over time, debris clogs the sludge removal piping and other clarifier components rendering removal unreliable.
· WW2122-07. Aeration mixer failure rates have been increasing in frequency. Project is for purchase and installation of a new replacement mixer.
· WW2122-08. Existing VFD unit has exceeded design life. Failure due to age is likely. · WW2122-09. Existing VFD unit has exceeded design life. Failure due to age is likely. · WW2122-10. Existing Belt Filter Press control panel is mounted in an outdoor location which is subject to corrosive atmospheric conditions. Component failures have occurred. Visible corrosion and rust have been noted.

Fiscal Year 2021/22 Water OR&R Table 4 Summary
After being notified that the budget for Water is $300,000 for FY 2021/22, projects W2122-01 through W2122-10 have been deemed a priority that need to be completed in said fiscal year. Highlights of City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 6 of 9
powered by Legistar™
37 File #: WS-22-494, Version: 1, Agenda #: 3
W2122-10 have been deemed a priority that need to be completed in said fiscal year. Highlights of the water projects listed in Table 4 are described below. • W2122-01 - Isolation value is broken which causes a larger shut down. The isolation value needs to be repaired, which will provide better isolation of the distribution system resulting in fewer customers affected by future shutdowns.
• W2122-02 - SCADA program updates are required every two to three years. Currently, we are adding assets into the SCADA system and creating additional worksheets to collect data for regulatory agencies. Ensuring these systems are up to date is vital for accurate data and reliable reporting.
• W2122-03 - Currently the sample stations are in very poor condition due to age. In addition, these sample stations are a part of our DDW sampling plan to ensure the water being sampled is clean.
• W2122-04 - Main Line value is broken which causes a larger shut down. The main line valve needs to be repaired, which will provide better isolation of the distribution system resulting in fewer customers affected by future shutdowns.
• W2122-05 - Currently, we have dropping in our water table due to current drought conditions (loss of water produced from the well could impact water supply to customers). By lowering the well pump 100 feet this will ensure that the distribution system has adequate water supply for the future.
• W2122-06 - This well has been out of service for many years and DDW requires wells that are out of service to be destructed. Since there are no plans to put this well back in service, the well will be demolished.
• W2122-07 - The current system is outdated, and the handheld devices need to be upgraded as the current devices are obsolete. If the current meter reading devices were to fail, we would have to manually put in meter reads significantly impacting operations. • W2122-08 - Currently we have meter boxes that are damaged in sidewalks that are potential safety hazards. By replacing, we eliminate any potential safety hazards from broken or damaged meter boxes.
• W2122-09 - Hydrant lateral has many leaks due to aging of assets and need to be replaced to eliminate future leaks. By replacing the hydrant lateral with new piping material, it will minimize damage to the street, reduce potential water loss, and property damage. • W2122-10 - Currently, there is a systematic issue with the top bearing due to misalignment of the pump and motor. By installing a new bearing along with the top pump shaft, it will assist maintaining a reliable water supply for future system demands.

Legislation Text
File #: WS-22-493, Version: 1, Agenda #: 4
For Water Subcommittee Meeting [May 25, 2022]
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities Manager
Final Construction Work Authorization to Rialto Water Services in the amount of $157,850 for the Construction of a new Sewer Manhole in Riverside Ave.

BACKGROUND:

City of Rialto (City) is working with Newmark Merrill Companies on the Rialto Phase II Project located between the Rialto Market Place and the old Walmart center on the west side of Riverside Avenue.

Currently there is a 15”sewer line that crosses the property. In order to build on this parcel, a portion of the 15”sewer line will need to be removed and rerouted to make room for the proposed buildings.

The rerouted sewer line will then connect to an existing 12”sewer line, south of the Newmark Merrill property, on the old Walmart center property which ultimately discharges into the main sewer line in Valley Blvd. See the attached exhibit.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

In order to accommodate the rerouting of the sewer line on the project property, the sewer flows will be required to be reduce in half. This will require the construction of a new manhole in Riverside Avenue that will split the sewer flows and deliver half to the sewer flows into an existing 24” sewer line on the east side of Riverside Avenue. This project will replace and old brick manhole with a new manhole and install a 12" drop assembly to connect to and existing sewer manhole on the east side of Riverside Avenue
The project will take 20 days to complete for the Notice To Proceed to the final paving of the project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total amount for the FCWA is $157,850. A detailed breakdown of the cost is in the table below.

TO: Water Subcommittee Members
FROM: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities manager
Request for Public Hearing in regard to 2022 Public Health Goals Report and 2021 Consumer Confidence Report on Drinking Water.

BACKGROUND
Public Health Goals Report (PHGs):

Provisions of the California Health and Safety Code specify that larger water utilities with greater than 10,000 service connections prepare a special report by July 1, 2022, if their water quality measurements have exceeded any Public Health Goals (PHGs). This report covers the “detection”of contaminants above both PHGs found in the City of Rialto’s(City) water system during calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021. It is required by law to conduct a Public Hearing to present the report to the public and receive any comments they may have. A request will be made for Public Hearing to be set for June 28, 2022 where a formal presentation will be presented at that time.

Consumer Confidence Report (CCR):

The purpose of the CCR is to provide customers with information on the City of Rialto’sdrinking water quality and allow them to make health-based decisions on drinking water consumption. The CCR for the year of 2021 state the City of Rialto’sdrinking water has met or exceeds the standards set by State and Federal law. The report will be made available to the public on the City’sweb site and a hard copy can be found at City Hall, Clerk’sOffice, and at RWS Customer Service office. A copy can be mailed upon request.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Public Health Goals Report (PHGs):

Public Health Goals (PHGs) are set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and are based solely on public health risk considerations. The City of Rialto water supply meets, with only one exception, all the Public Health Guidelines (PHGs) and Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) standards.

The attached 2021 PHGs report information is required by law because one contaminant detected is above the Public Health guidelines. Arsenic is a semi-metal element in the periodic table. The PHG for arsenic is 0.004 ppb and the MCL is 10 ppb. Arsenic was found to occur in one groundwater well, City Well 2, with detection 3.1ppb. We exceed the PHG but was well within the drink water standards.

The Public Health Goals Report will provide detailed information such as:
· the category or type of risk to health that could be associated with each constituent.

City of Rialto Printed on 5/20/2022Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
88 File #: WS-22-472, Version: 1, Agenda #: 5
· The Best Available Technology (BATs) that could be used to reduce the constituent level. · Estimate of the cost to install that treatment if it is appropriate and feasible.

The 2021 edition of the Public Health Goals Report is included as Attachment 1.

Consumer Confidence Report (CCR):

All of the water quality data collected by our water system for 2021 is summarized in the City of Rialto 2021 Consumer Confidence Reports which states that the City has either met or exceeded the standards set by the State and Federal Law.

The 2021 CCR for the City of Rialto provides information regarding:
· The source of the drinking water.
· A brief summary of the risk of contamination of the local drinking water source. · The regulated contaminant found in local drinking water. · The potential health effects of any contaminant detected in violation of an EPA health standard.

Additional information is included in the 2021 edition of the Consumer Confidence Report, included as Attachment 2.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Operating Budget Impact
The financial impact associated with the CCR is minimal, as the primary method of distribution is the website.

Capital Improvement Budget Impact
There will not be any impact to the Capital Improvement Budget from the proposed action.

RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation is for the Water Subcommittee to conduct a public hearing to present the 2022 PHGs and 2021 CCR at City Council meeting on June 28, 2022. A formal presentation will be presented at that time.

CITY OF RIALTO

REPORT ON WATER QUALITY

RELATIVE TO PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS
FOR YEARS 2019, 2020, 2021

BACKGROUND:

Provisions of the California Health and Safety Code (Section 116470 (b))1 specify that larger water utilities (>10,000 service connections) prepare a special report by July 1, 2022 if their water quality measurements have exceeded any Public Health Goals (PHGs). PHGs are non- enforceable goals established by the Cal-EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The law also requires that where OEHHA has not adopted a PHG for a constituent, the water suppliers are to use the Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) adopted by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Only constituents which have a California primary drinking water standard and for which either a PHG or MCLG has been set, are to be addressed. This report covers the “detection” of contaminants above both PHGs and MCLGs found in the City’s water system during calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021.

There are a few constituents that are routinely detected in water systems at levels usually well below the drinking water standards for which no PHG nor MCLG has yet been adopted by OEHHA or USEPA including Total Trihalomethanes. These will be addressed in a future required report after a PHG has been adopted.

If a constituent was detected in the Ci ty’s water supply between 2019 and 2021 at a l evel exceeding an applicable PHG or MCLG, this report provides the information required by law. Included is the numerical public health risk associated with the MCL and the PHG or MCLG, the category or type of risk to health 90 that could be associated with each constituent, the best treatment technology available that could be used to reduce the constituent level, and an estimate of the cost to install that treatment if it is appropriate and feasible.

WHAT ARE PHG’S:

PHGs are set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) which is part of Cal -EPA and are based solely on public health risk considerations. None of the practical risk - management factors that are considered by the USEPA or the California Division of Drinking Water in setting drinking water standards (MCLs) are considered in setting the PHGs. These factors include analytical detection capability, treatment technology available, benefits and costs. The PHGs are not enforceable and are not required to be met by any public water system. MCLGs are the federal equivalent to PHGs.

WATER QUALITY DATA CONSIDERED:

All of the wa ter quality data collected by our water system between 2019 and 2021 for purposes of determining compliance with drinking water standards was considered. This data was all summarized in our 2019, 2020, and 2021 Consumer Confidence Reports and was made avai lable online at www.rialtoca.gov.

GUIDELINES FOLLOWED:

The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) formed a workgroup which prepared guidelines for water utilities to use in preparing these newly required reports. The ACWA guidelines were used in the preparation of our report. No guidance was available from state regulatory agencies.

BEST AVAILABLE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY AND COST ESTIMATES:

Both the USEPA and DDW adopt what are known as BATs or Best Available Technologies which are the best known methods of reducing contaminant levels to the MCL. Costs c an be estimated for such technologies. However, since many PHGs and all MCLGs are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always possible nor feasible to determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a constituent downward to or near the PHG or MCLG, many of which are set at zero. Estimating the costs to reduce a constituent to zero is difficult, if not impossible because it is not possible to verify by analytical means that the level has been lowered to zero. In some cases, installing treatment to try and further reduce very low levels of one constituent may have adverse effects on other aspects of water quality.

CONSTITUENTS DETECTED THAT EXCEED A PHG OR A MCLG:

The City of Rialto water supply meets, with only one exception, all of the PHG and MCLG standards. The following is a discussion of the constituent that was detected in one of our drinking water sources at levels above the PHG, or if no PHG, above the MCLG.
91 ARSENIC:

Arsenic is a semi-metal element in the periodic table. The PHG for arsenic is 0.004 ppb. Effective January 23, 2006, the MCL for arsenic was lowered from 50 ppb to the revised standard of 10 ppb.

Arsenic test results for the City for the year 2020 from all groundwater and import sources had a range of not detected to 3.1 ppb. Arsenic was found to occur in one groundwater well. The following well had detection levels above the PHG of 0.004 ppb:

 City Well 2 3.1ppb

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is fo und in combination with either inor ganic or org anic substances to form many different compounds. Inorganic arsenic compounds are found in soils, sediment sand groundwater. These compounds occur naturally or as a result of mining, ore smelting, and industrial use of arsenic. Organic arsenic compounds are found mainly in fish and sh ellfish. In the past, inorganic forms of arsenic were used in pesticides and paint pigment. They were also used as wood preservatives and as a tr eatment for a variety of ailments. Tod ay, usage of arsenic–containing pesticides and wood preservatives is restricted.

People are most likely to be exposed to inorganic arsenic through drinking water and, to a lesser extent, through various foods. Unusually large doses of ino rganic a rsenic can cause symptoms ranging from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to dehydration and shock. Long-term exposure to high levels of inorganic arsenic in d rinking water has been associated with skin disord ers and increased risks for diabetes, high blood pressure, and several types of cancer. Inorganic arsenic and arsenic compounds are considered to be cancer-causing chemicals. Forms of or ganic arsenic found in seafood are not known to be to xic to humans.

Arsenic has no smell, taste, or color when dissolved in water, even in high concentrations, and therefore only laboratory analysis can determine the presence and concentration of arsenic in w ater. It o ccurs naturally in rocks, mineral deposits, and soil, water, air, and plants and animals. It can be further released into the environment through natural activities such as volcanic action, erosion of rocks and forest fires, or through human actions.

Because it occurs naturally in the environment and as a by-product of so me agricultural and industri al activities, it can enter drinking water through the ground or as runoff into surface water sources.

The City water system is in full compliance with federal and state rules for arsenic.

As arsenic was detected in only a single well, any treatment considerations would need to be focused on the effected groundwater source. The most likely treatment option for arsenic removal would be Granular Ferric Oxide Resin. In studies conducted to remove arsenic via Granular Ferric Oxide Resin, (conducted by Golden State Water Co.), annualized capital and O&M costs ranged from $2.24 to $2.39 per 1,000 gallons treated. The estimated cost to treat the potential total water supplied from one water well contributing to the City’s water supply would be approximately $ 1.02 million annually.2 92 Treatment

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION:

The drinking water quality of the City of Rialto meets all State of California, DDW and USEPA drinking water standards set to protect public health. To further reduce the levels of the constituent identified in this report that are already significantly be low the health -based Maximum Contaminant Levels established to provide "safe drinking water", additional costly treatment processes would be required.

The effectiveness of the treatment processes to provide any significant reductions in constituent levels at these already low values is uncertain. The health protection benefits of these further hypothetical reductions are not at all clear and may not be quantifiable. Therefore, no action is proposed.

Possible Sewer Service to Orangewood Mobile Home Park in the City of Fontana, CA, BACKGROUND:

There is an existing 157-unit mobile home park in the City of Fontana that abuts the City of Rialto on Maple Ave., see Vicinity Map and Existing Sewer System Map below. The park is currently on septic and would link to move from a septic system to a local sewer system.

The park owner and their consultant are looking into alternatives to connect to the City of Fontana’s sewer system and the City of Rialto’ssewer system. Their goal is to convert to a sewer system without having to construct, own, and operate a sewer lift station. Their initial investigations show that in order to connect to the Fontana sewer system would require a sewer lift station.

If they where to connect to the Rialto’s sewer system, several steps would need to be completed:
· Park Owner and Consultant would need to verify that it is possible to connect to the Rialto sewer system by gravity flow, if confirmed then,
· Rialto would need to confirm that the collection system is adequate to handle the additional flows, then
· Permission from IEUA and the City of Fontana would be required. The owner has had discussion with IEUA and the City of Fontana and have indicated permission to move forward with talking with Rialto.
· The owner would be required to enter into an Extraterritorial Agreement with Rialto, approved by Council,
· LAFCO would need to approve the Out of Service application, · Owner would be required to pay Development Impact Fees for Sewer Collection and Treatment, at 1.3 times the current rate,
· Monthly service charge would be at 1.3 times the rate assessed to the residence of Rialto, and · The owner would be required to pick up all costs to implement the solution (studies, design, and construction).

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

To connect to the City’s Wastewater system, the Park will be required to make a one-time Development Impact Fee payment at the Extraterritorial Rate of 1.3 times the standard rate. The required connection fees are determined by the planned use of the facility and are estimated at $524,375.76 for both Wastewater Collection and Treatment fees.

United State Bureau of Reclamation Award of $2,000,000 for AMI Project.

BACKGROUND:

On November 2, 2021, the City of Rialto (City) submitted a grant application to the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Implementation Project. The City was recently provided notice that we have been considered for the AMI award which would fund $2,000,000 towards the cost of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Implementation Project.

The AMI project would upgrade or replacement a total of 12,058 existing touch meters which are currently being read via walking, therefore creating meter inaccuracies and systemic data handling errors. The AMI Project will implement the City’sentire distribution system and provide water usage information to be able to accurately monitor water use for customers via the City’swebsite portal in real-time. This will improve water use efficiency, while providing energy and operational cost savings.

Information regarding the BOR Award is included as Attachment 1 FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The overall cost of the entire AMI Project is estimated to be approximately 6.6 million. In which 2 million will be funded through the BOR Award, if granted.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends continuing to work with the BOR to develop a final agreement for implementation and continue to look for the remaining funding amount.

Subject: Funding Opportunity No. R22AS00023– WaterSMART Grants: Water and Energy Efficiency Grants for Fiscal Year 2022 – Application Review Status, Your Application Titled, “Advanced Metering Infrastructure Implementation Project” (WEEG-048)

Dear Mr. Thomas J. Crowley:

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is pleased to inform you that your application for WaterSMART Grants: Water and Energy Efficiency Grant Funding Opportunity is being considered for award with funding available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), P.L. 117-58. This year, we received 131 applications for funding. We have conducted a review of the applications based on the prioritization criteria included in the Funding Opportunity. Due to funding limitations, only the 22 highest-rated applications have been identified for award with fiscal year (FY) 2022 appropriations and are included in today’s news release. Your application was not among those identified for award with FY 2022 appropriations and was therefore not included in today’s news release. We plan to include your project, and others identified for BIL funding, in a separate news release in the coming weeks.

Your application included a request for $2,000,000 to complete your proposal titled, “Advanced Metering Infrastructure Implementation Project.” Reclamation anticipates awarding Federal funds in the amount of $2,000,000 for your proposed project.

All new financial assistance awards for infrastructure projects must meet Buy America requirements.

Although those requirements were not included in the FY 2022 Funding Opportunity, which was posted prior to passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), P.L. 117-58, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) implementing guidance has clarified that the Buy America provisions apply to projects carried out through BIL funding and annual appropriations. This likely includes your proposed project.

See OMB Memorandum M-22-11 for further details.

In addition, Section 41101 of the BIL requires that all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractor in the performance of construction, alteration, or repair work on a project assisted in whole or in part by funding made available under the BIL shall be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on similar projects in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with Subchapter IV of Chapter 31 of Title 40, United States Code (commonly referred to as the Davis-Bacon Act).

We will be scheduling a webinar with you and other new recipients to discuss the process for development of financial assistance agreements and next steps.

In working with you to develop your financial assistance agreement, Reclamation will closely review the activities outlined in your proposal to ensure that all activities are eligible for funding and that the proposed costs are allowable under financial assistance regulations. If some costs or activities are determined to be ineligible or unallowable, Reclamation will work with you to refine the scope of work and budget for the project.

In the coming months, we will work with you to gather the information needed to enter into a financial assistance agreement. Please note that this letter is not a final commitment of funding, and all pre-award clearances and approvals must be obtained as described in Section E.2.5 of the Funding Opportunity. In addition, Reclamation must have sufficient evidence prior to award that non-Federal cost share will be available. The final funding amount may be adjusted if necessary.

Federal statute (42 U.S.C. 10364(a)(3)(B)) requires that before any funds are awarded, you agree not to use any water savings resulting from your proposed project to increase your total irrigated acreage or to otherwise increase the consumptive use of water in your operations. This requirement, which was discussed in Section F.2.4 of the Funding Opportunity, will be included in the financial assistance agreement for your project.

Please be advised that your application has been ranked, in part, based on your description of the expected benefits of your project and the non-Federal cost share percentage identified in your application. Selection criteria placed an emphasis on conserving and using water more efficiently; increasing the production of renewable energy; mitigating conflict risk in areas at a high risk of future water conflict; and accomplishing other benefits that contribute to water supply sustainability in the western United States.

In order to demonstrate the success of the program and to provide a guide for future applicants, we will post copies of all successful Water and Energy Efficiency Grant applications as examples on Reclamation’s website. While this generally does not raise any issues, we find it prudent to provide successful grant applicants with an opportunity to redact any sensitive information from their proposals prior to posting them on our website. As a rule, we remove the SF-424s; however, if there are any other items you would like to request be redacted, please let me know by Wednesday, May 25, 2022. If we do not hear from you by this date, we will assume that there are no objections to posting the full application.

Again, a webinar will be scheduled to discuss next steps in further detail. Thank you for your interest and participation in the WaterSMART Program. The success of the WaterSMART Program depends on collaboration with partners to improve water management. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Beverly K. Nelson
Chief Grants Officer
