Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety Underground Safety Board: Notice of Probable Violation. (ACTION)
BACKGROUND
The Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety Underground Safety Board (Underground Safety Board) was created by the Dig Safe Act of 2016 to investigate accidents, develop excavation safety standards, and coordinate education and outreach programs.
The Underground Safety Board is made up of nine members appointed by the Governor and Legislature. Members are charged with overseeing the safety of excavations around buried utilities by 1. Coordinating the state’seducation and outreach efforts; 2. Investigating accidents to determine their causes; 3. Setting standards for safe excavation; and 4. Ensuring the state’ssafe excavation laws are followed.
The Underground Safety Board exercises no direct regulatory authority, it cannot issue penalties.
Instead, its enforcement philosophy is to make recommendations to the local agency assigned with regulatory enforcement of laws. Per § 4216.6(d), a local agency, in our case the City of Rialto City Council is the enforcement agency to review possible violations and may issue penalties.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
In May 2024, staff was notified in a letter from the Underground Safety Board of a probable violation stemming from an event that occurred on July 10, 2023. The probable violation claims that the City of Rialto, Rialto Water Services (RWS) as operated by Veolia of North America (Veolia) violated Government Code § 4216.3(c)(1)(A): Failure to provide an electronic positive response before the legal start date and time [to a DigAlert request].
Staff met with Veolia who stated that staff direction and policy was that they were not authorized to go onto private property, not even to mark underground utilities. To ensure that this possible violation does not occur in the future, staff worked with DigAlert to identify that all future tickets located on private property would be marked by Veolia.
The Underground Safety Board conducted a public meeting on July 8, 2024, at 1 p.m. in Sacramento, California to determine whether a violation occurred by the City and whether the penalty proposed in the Notice, which is completing a 4-hour free online education course on DigAlert Notifications is appropriate.

Following the July 8 Underground Safety Board meeting, the City Council will receive a letter with the Board’s findings and recommended corrective action(s).
The City Council may take action to:
1. Approve the Underground Safety Board’s recommendation.
2. Approve an alternative action in line with Government Code § 4216 et seq.
Pursuant to Government Code § 4216.6, violation of Government Code § 4216 et seq. by an operator or excavator may be subject to a maximum penalty of $10,000 for negligent violation, or $50,000 for knowing and willful violation. Knowing and willful violation of Article 2 that results in damage to a gas or hazardous liquid pipeline subsurface installation and that results in the escape of any flammable, toxic, or corrosive gas or liquid may be subject to a maximum penalty of $100,000.

C. Bad Debt
17 (seventeen) accounts were sent to collections for a total amount of $8,904.18.
These collections arise when renter or property owner move out without paying their bills.
VI. SERVICE ORDERS
288 service orders were initiated by the customer service team during the reporting month. Of this total, 77 service orders or 26.7% were due to occupant changes. 147 service orders were initiated to accommodate water disconnection for non-payment and reconnection of water services when customer set up (or reinstate) a payment arrangement with down payment. This disconnection number is expected to decrease dramatically in June as State Water Board Arrearage program funds are applied to the qualified customers.
VII. OTHER ACTIVITIES
Since the moratorium on disconnection for nonpayment ended in May 2023, payment trend has improved dramatically. This balance decreased by 58% from the previous month. It is now at $347K. This large decrease is due to recent credit received from State Water Board Arrearage Program. During the Covid-19, highest amount was $2.2M and prior to the Covid-19, typical delinquencies hovered around $500K.

84 B. Static Water Levels
All City of Rialto wells are sounded each month, both active and inactive well sites.
Depth-to-water is measured from the well head to the static water surface.
Increases in depth-to-water represent a decrease in static water level.

D. Source Water Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Veolia has a goal of maintaining an acceptable blended TDS level between all its sources. This goal is achieved by shifting production to or from the lowest TDS wells or purchased low TDS water while adhering to the overall water supply strategy and meetin g system demands. The TDS was 252 mg/L for the month of May as compared to 2 33 mg/L in April. The TDS levels are below the secondary maximum contaminant level requirements.

VI. WATER QUALITY COMPLAINTS
No complaints were received during this reporting period.
VII. OPERATIONS UPDATE
The overall operational strategy is to meet the daily water demand. The City of Rialto water system has six operational wells, one of which is owned by the County of San Bernardino and operated by Veolia; Oliver P. Roemer Treatment Plant (OPRTP), which is jointly owned by the City (25%) and West Valley Water District (WVWD); purchased water through the Baseline Feeder (BLF) system from San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD); and, if required to meet demand, additional water can be supplied by the City of San Bernardino (CSB) through the BLF for emergency supply only with no guarantee of actual delivery. Water produced from City Well 4A discharges into the BLF and its production is included in deliveries from that shared transmission line when City Well 4A is in service.
90 The overall pumping strategy is based on adjudicated rights, well availability, remediation requirements, and quality of source, cost to o perate, and varying weather conditions. TDS effluent concentrations for the City of Rialto WWTP are taken into consideration when operating the facilities and water sources.

The line is open and flowing. The cause of the
problem was lots of drawstring and dirt.
Talked to the Superintendent and City
Inspector. The company that installed the line
will be required to clean the retention basin
and all sewer lines. This will be followed by a
video inspection sent to the city inspector for
review and verification that the lines are
clean. We were asked to wash down the
street into a retention basin. We washed
down the spill area to the retention basin. The
contractor will take over the cleanup. The spill
was 100 gallons that never left the site.

Checked upstream and downstream
manholes; there is no issue with the city line. I
told the resident’s adult daughter that the
plumber needed to clear the line to the city
sewer in the middle of the street.

I left a message with the owner. There were a
few roaches in the manhole. We will re-apply
bait in 30 days.
