For Water Subcommittee Meeting March 27, 2025
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: John Rossi, Interim Utilities Director
Request the Water Subcommittee to provide feedback on the Presentation Update on the Marketing Campaign for the Service Line Warranty of America Program and Renewal of the Marketing License Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the Presentation Update on the Marketing Campaign for the Service Line Warranty of America Program and Amendment Number 2, which renews the Marketing License Agreement with Service Line Warranty of America, Inc.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
On April 24, 2018, at a City Council meeting, the City Council/Rialto Utility Authority approved the Marketing License Agreement to allow Service Line Warranties of America, Inc. (SLWA) to provide warranty protection and repair programs to help homeowners in the City of Rialto with in-home plumbing, water or sewer line repairs.
At the November 29, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council/Rialto Utility Authority approved Amendment 1 to the Marketing Agreement, restructuring the compensation to the City by eliminating the royalty to the City from the agreement. This change resulted in a cost reduction for Rialto residents participating in the program, equating to a monthly savings of $0.75 per policy.
Bill Coffey with Service Line Warranty of America will provide a presentation updating the Water Subcommittee on the marketing campaign for the insurance program. A PowerPoint presentation in included as Attachment 1, and the proposed Amendment 2 renewing the Marketing License Agreement as Attachment 2.

APPROVAL: John Rossi, Interim Utilities Director
FROM: Matt Bennett, City Engineer
Vince Giron, Engineering Manager - Land Development
Proposed Lot Line Adjustment No. 2022-0016/Certificate of Compliance and accompanying land swap between 160 N Cactus, LLC (Property Owner and Applicant) and the City located at the northwest corner of Cactus Avenue and Rialto Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Water Subcommittee review the proposed Lot Line Adjustment No. 2022- 0016/Certificate of Compliance and accompanying land swap between the Applicant and the City.
BACKGROUND:
On October 25, 2023, the City Planning Commission approved Precise Plan of Design (PPD) 2022- 0056 to allow for the development of a 159,700 square-foot industrial warehouse building on the Applicant’s parcels located at the northwest corner of Cactus Avenue and Rialto Avenue (Attachment 1). The Applicant owns three (3) separate parcels, consisting of two (2) Assessor Parcel Numbers 0128-141-70 and 0128-141-72, that total 7.93 acres at 160 N Cactus Ave (Attachment 2).
These lots are currently vacant and have the practical effect of land-locking two (2) parcels, consisting of APNs 0128-141-49 (0.306 acres) and 0128-141-63 (0.026 acres), owned by the City of Rialto that total 0.332 acres (Attachment 3).
The City parcels are currently utilized for City of Rialto Water facilities and access to the parcels is from Rialto Avenue through a recorded access easement encumbering a portion of the Applicant’s site.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The Applicant is requesting to fulfill the requirements of PPD 2022-0056 for implementation of the project and in accordance with the following conditions of approval:
Condition of Approval No. 9: Agree to reconfigure the existing parcel lines of the property in order to provide enhanced access and operation of the City’swater well and associated facilities. [Applicant further agreed to] submit a Lot Line Adjustment to modify the existing parcel configuration as proposed prior to the issuance of a building permit."
Condition of Approval No. 117: "The existing parcels shall be combined into a single parcel, or a lot line adjustment shall be done so that the proposed structure(s) does not cross any lot line and City of Rialto Printed on 3/20/2025Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
30 File #: WS-25-0228, Version: 1, Agenda #:
line adjustment shall be done so that the proposed structure(s) does not cross any lot line and complies with all requirements of the California Building Code, prior to any building permits being issued.”
In coordination with the City, the Applicant proposes to modify the existing parcel configuration through a Lot Line Adjustment application that would involve a land swap to reconfigure the water facility into the southwest corner of the Site along with the Rialto Avenue frontage (Attachment 4).
This Lot Line Adjustment and land swap represents a mutually advantageous opportunity for both the City and the Applicant. It allows the Applicant to meet the Conditions of Approval required in PPD 2022-0056 while enabling the City to establish direct fee title access to the public right of way. Upon approval and recordation of the Lot Line Adjustment and related grant deeds, the City will own 0.311 acres and the Applicant will own 7.926 acres for development of the project. Thus, the City will gain a small portion of the Applicant’s land and contiguous access through this process (Attachment 5).
The proposed Lot Line Adjustment and related land swap are compatible with the environmental characteristics and lot sizes of the adjacent area. Such alterations will allow the City to obtain access from its property to the public right of way and will further result in a more aesthetic frontage.
Additionally, the Applicant has agreed to process a second Lot Line Adjustment to merge the two City owned parcels on the City’sbehalf. Thus, the City will benefit from additional land, access to the public right of way, and a processed Lot Line Adjustment that will better suit the property’s needs.
The Lot Line Adjustment and land swap would optimize the Applicant’suse of their property and create more usable space that better accommodates the size and layout of the proposed development. In addition to more efficient use of the land, the Applicant would no longer have an easement over the southwestern portion of their property.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The environmental impact of the proposed lot swap and Lot Line Adjustment was considered at the time of approval of PPD 2022-0056 through Environmental Assessment Review No. 2022-0054 and the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Approval of the proposed action also complies with the following City of Rialto Guiding Principles, General Plan Goals and Policies:
Our City government will lead by example, and will operate in an open, transparent and responsive manner that meets the needs of the citizens and is a good place to do business.
.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the staff report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Lot Line Adjustment and land swap will not have a financial impact on the City, rather, the City will enjoy the benefit of enhanced access, landscaping, fencing, and street frontage improvements at no cost to the City.

For Water Subcommittee Meeting March 27, 2025
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: John Rossi, Interim Utilities Director
FROM: Toyasha Sebbag, Assistant to the City Manager
Staff request that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the participation in the Rialto-Colton Basin Groundwater effort with a cost-share of $22,250. (ACTION)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the participation in the Rialto- Colton Basin Groundwater effort with a cost-share of $22,250.
BACKGROUND
On November 10, 2020, the Rialto City Council/Rialto Utility Authority (RUA) Board approved the Rialto Basin Groundwater Council Framework Agreement, as required by a lawsuit settlement against Fontana Union Water Company (FUWC) involving San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, RUA, the City of Colton, and West Valley Water District (WVWD). The agreement mandated the formation of a Groundwater Council to promote sustainable groundwater management in the Rialto Basin.
In February 2021, the Rialto Basin Groundwater Council (RBGC) was established to coordinate and implement groundwater management efforts, including the development of a Groundwater Management Plan (GWMP). The RBGC consists of elected officials from the four agencies and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) with agency staff.
On December 9, 2021, the RBGC Board unanimously awarded Stetson Engineers Inc. a $215,000 contract to develop the GWMP, with WVWD serving as the contracting agency. The cost was shared equally among the four agencies, with RUA’s portion being $53,750.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
At this stage in the GWMP’sdevelopment, Stetson is requesting additional funding and a contract extension to December 2025. More effort than anticipated was needed to assess and select the most suitable groundwater model for the Basin and to conduct extensive modeling to evaluate the basin- wide impacts of imported water recharge. Additional analysis was also required to investigate why groundwater levels did not rise following the wet year of 2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed action is not a “Project”as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project”means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably City of Rialto Printed on 3/20/2025Page 1 of 2

potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. According to Section 15378(b), a Project does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Approval of the proposed action also complies with the following City of Rialto Guiding Principles, General Plan Goals and Policies:
Our City government will lead by example, and will operate in an open, transparent, and responsive manner that meets the needs of the citizens and is a good place to do business.
Goal 3-8: Promote affordable and quality water service capable of adequately meeting normal and emergency water demands to all areas in Rialto.
Policy 3-8.4: Advocate regular evaluation of the entire water supply and distribution system to ensure its continued adequacy, reliability, and safety.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the staff report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Operating Budget Impact
The total amount to complete additional tasks of the GWMP is $89,000, shared equally among the four agencies. RUA’s portion is $22,250, which falls within the Utilities Director’s signature authority.
Capital Improvement Budget Impact
The proposed action is not expected to impact the City’s Capital Improvement Budget.

For Water Subcommittee Meeting March 27, 2025
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: John Rossi, Interim Utilities Director
FROM: Toyasha Sebbag, Assistant to the City Manager
Staff request that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the participation in the 2025 Regional Urban Water Management Plan to meet the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act with a cost-share of $38,960. (ACTION)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Water Subcommittee provide feedback on the participation in the 2025 Regional Urban Water Management Plan to meet the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act with a cost-share of $38,960.
BACKGROUND
California Water Code section 10621(a) requires urban water suppliers to update their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) at least once every five (5) years; the 2025 UWMP’s are due to be updated and submitted to the California Department of Water Resources by July 1, 2026.
San Bernardino Valley and eight other local water providers share many water supply characteristics, including location, climate, demographics, water sources, and regional water management, which were leveraged to prepare regional UWMPs in the 2010, 2015, and 2020 planning cycles.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
For the 2025 UWMP, San Bernardino Valley and the participating agencies jointly prepared and agreed to a Scope of Work that was incorporated into a Request for Proposals (RFP), which resulted in the selection of Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) as the consultant to prepare the 2025 UWMPs.
A regional UWMP development streamline cost, staff time, and data while also allowing for a greater level of consistency and overall value of the UWMP. On December 16, 2024, the San Bernardino Valley Board of Directors approved a contract with WSC and the cost sharing whereby San Bernardino Valley will pay 50% of the common costs, with the balance equally split among the other eight agencies.
WSC’sproposed cost to complete the IRUWMP is $432,734. San Bernardino Valley is proposing to pay $111,438 (or 50% of the regional sections) of the total costs, with the remaining costs to be divided up among the other agencies. With the proposed cost-share agreement, RUA’sshare of cost would be $38,960.

Re: Cost Sharing Letter Agreement for the 2025 Regional Urban Water Management Plan
California Water Code section 10621(a) requires urban water suppliers to update their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) at least once every five (5) years; the 2025 UWMP’s are due to be updated and submitted to the California Department of Water Resources by July 1, 2026.
San Bernardino Valley and eight (8) other local water providers (collectively “Participating Agencies” or “Parties” and individually “Participating Agency”) * share many water supply characteristics, including location, climate, demographi cs, water sources, and regional water management, which were leveraged to prepare regional UWMPs in the 2010, 2015, and 2020 planning cycles.
For the 2025 UWMP, San Bernardino Valley and the Participating Agencies have jointly prepared and agreed to a Scope of Work that was incorporated into a Request for Proposals, which resulted in the selection of Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (“WSC” or “Consultant”) as the consultant to prepare UWMPs for the Participating Agencies (the “Work ”). A regional UWMP development streamline cost, staff time, and data while also allowing for a greater level of consistency and overall value of the UWMP.
On December 16, 2024, the San Bernardino Valley Board of Directors approved a contract with WSC and the cost sharing whereby San Bernardino Valley will pay 50% of the common costs , with the balance equally split among the other eight Participants. In addition to these shares of common costs, each Participating Agency will also pay for the preparation of its individual UWMP chapter and any optional tasks.
San Bernardino Valley and its staff will administer the contract with WSC and the cost sharing provisions of this Agreement. The Participating Agency hereby agrees to pay its 6% share of the common cost (not-to-exceed $10,354), its agency UWMP chapter cost (not-to-exceed $28,606), and any agency-specific cost as provided in the project budget and according to the provisions set forth below. The scope of work shall consist of that work referenced in the attached Consulting Services Agreement with WSC.

91 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update
12/10/2024
Optional Tasks
The following optional tasks provide agencies with the flexibility to tailor their scope and support according to their unique requirements. Some of these tasks include, updating the individual agency plan roadmaps, and the potential for developing a comprehensive regional data warehouse. WSC will provide support and customization to any of these initiatives to fit the agency’s needs while ensuring ease of integration to foster collaboration within the region.
Optional Subtasks for Task 3 – Individual Water Agency Requirements Any of the following optional scope items can be added to individual agency scopes in Task 3 to customize the level of support for each agency.
Optional Task 3.1: Compliance Review and Integration of Agency Prepared Chapter If any agency elects to prepare its own chapter, WSC can provide a compliance review for consistency and incorporate the chapter into the 2025 RUWMP document. Optional Task 3.1 has been added for this purpose and would apply instead of Task 3.1-3.11 for any agency who prepared its own chapter. • WSC will conduct three coordination calls with Agency staff to discuss preparation of their UWMP chapter, align methodologies to be consistent with the region where possible, and review comments on the draft chapter prepared by the agency.
• WSC will review the draft UWMP chapter prepared by the agency for consistency with the 2025 UWMP requirements and advise the Agency if any changes are recommended for DWR compliance.
• WSC will incorporate the agency’s UWMP chapter into the 2025 RUWMP.
Optional Task 3.2: Detailed WSCP Updates (per agency)
While DWR is not expected to require updates to WSCPs in the 2025 UWMP cycle, some agencies may elect to make targeted updates to their WSCP to remove actions they do not intend to implement and/or increase their flexibility and autonomy in selecting and implementing shortage stages and response actions that are deemed necessary for the given conditions. This may be particularly helpful if the State mandates certain stage implementation with all potential actions listed in a WSCP, like it has historically. The scope to perform targeted updates to an agency’s WSCP would include:
• Coordinate with individual agency staff via virtual meetings to review WSCP update objectives to inform recommended updates to the WSCP.
• Update the WSCP to allow for alignment with DWR's 6-stage framework, potential State mandates to implement a given shortage stage, and consideration of ability to further reduce demand at the given time. Refine shortage stage triggers to allow more flexibility to implement an appropriate stage and actions rather than being automatically triggered if supply is reduced by a given amount or the State mandates reductions even though a supply shortage does not exist.
• Provide a revised list of shortage response actions along with estimates of their expected effectiveness. Associate actions with stages in a way that preserves the supplier’s ability to 92 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update
12/10/2024
only implement necessary actions rather than being mandated by the State to implement unnecessary actions despite the lack of need.
• Conduct a virtual workshop to review and refine the WSCP updates.
Optional Task 3.3: CWOL Roadmap (per agency)
While DWR is not expected to require detailed information on Conservation as a Way of Life (CWOL) or UWUO compliance or readiness as part of the 2025 UWMP requirements, some agencies may elect to use this opportunity to gain more clarity on how the regulation will impact their specific agency, what actions it will need to take and on what timeline to comply with the Conservation Way of Life (CWOL) requirements, and if there is any flexibility in the regulations given each agency’s unique situation. An understanding of these factors will help inform an agency’s future staffing and budgeting decisions related to compliance with the CWOL requirements. Under this optional Task, WSC would provide the following services to support Conservation Regulation UWUO and CII Performance Measures (PM) compliance readiness.
• UWUO optimization screening. Assess opportunities to increase the UWUO through processes defined in the regulation, including review of inputs for adjustment in the Annual Water Use Report, review of available new development landscape area data, and review of residential extensions landscape area to be provided by the State for agency review. • Use of the California Data Collaborative’s variance modeler to assess which variances could be impactful and further investigated. WSC would not fully develop the data needed to obtain variance approval from the State.
• Recommend optional compliance options and alternative compliance pathways. • Summarize other steps to take to refine the UWUO, such as determining Special Landscape Areas (SLAs) and categorization of multi-family residential irrigation of recreational areas as CII SLAs that receive a higher landscape efficiency factor to increase the UWUO. • Define a plan for CII Performance Measure (CII PM) compliance. Provide preparation and compliance schedule, cost estimates for compliance, potential funding options, and identification of resources, staff time, or consultant budget needed to prepare for the following CII PMs:
o Classify all CII customers into 22 required categories. o Identification of top 2.5% and 20% of CII users and Best Management Practices (BMPs) for those users.
o Identify large landscapes with mixed-use meters (MUM) using CII landscape area measurement (LAM) data (once available from the State, SAWPA, or another source). o Use of GIS to measure and link irrigated areas for large landscapes and dedicated irrigation meters (DIM).
o Investigate cost/benefit of installing DIMs or using in-lieu options + BMPs for large landscape MUM conversion.
o Identify non-functional turf areas and develop a plan for compliance with AB 1572. 93 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update
12/10/2024
• Conduct a virtual workshop with supplier staff to inform key stakeholders across the organization of the requirements and necessary associated agency efforts described above.
Solicit feedback and identify responsible parties or resources needed for compliance actions. • Develop a CWOL Roadmap deliverable that incorporates previously described analysis, workshop feedback, and recommendations for compliance with the CWOL Regulation components. The CWOL Roadmap will include actionable steps and a summary of compliance needs to inform future budgeting, staffing, and/or need for consultant support. o .
3.14 Optional Task: Compliance Review and Integration of Agency Prepared Chapter
o WSC will conduct three coordination calls with Agency staff to discuss preparation of their UWMP chapter, align methodologies to be consistent with the region where possible, and review comments on the draft chapter prepared by the agency. o WSC will review the draft UWMP chapter prepared by the agency for consistency with the 2025 UWMP requirements and advise the Agency if any changes are recommended for DWR compliance.
o WSC will incorporate the agency’s UWMP chapter into the 2025 RUWMP.
Optional Subtask for Task Optional Task 4 – Draft and Final 2025 Update
Optional Task 4.1: Hard Copy Printing Expense
• The estimated printing and delivery cost for a UWMP agency hard copy is $800 per copy but will be verified by requesting printer quotes once the number of pages in the document is finalized. UWMP agency hard copies are assumed to include all of Part 1, the agency’s chapter from Part 2 and the agency’s appendix from Part 4. Part 3 will not be printed. The expense budget for this task is based on providing 3 UWMP agency hard copies to each participating agency, for a total of 33 copies.
• The estimated printing and delivery cost for a full RUWMP hard copy is $2,800 per copy but will be verified by requesting printer quotes once the number of pages in the document is finalized. A full RUWMP hard copy is assumed to include all of Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. The expense budget is based on providing 1 RUWMP hard copy to San Bernardino Valley. • The RFP assumes 5 per agency but the reduced assumption in this scope is based on the actual total number of copies requested by agencies for the 2020 IRUWMP.
Optional Task 5 – Develop Regional Data Warehouse
5.1 Optional Task: Develop Regional Data Warehouse
This 2025 Update is an opportunity to take the initial steps toward a powerful, next generation data management approach and create a foundation that can be leveraged and built upon as part of 94 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update
12/10/2024
subsequent regional work. WSC proposes to work with the agencies to develop a Regional Data Warehouse (an integrated SQL Database and ESRI Geodatabase) and an RUWMP data management process that streamlines data collection efforts. WSC would collaborate with the agencies to develop a Data Warehouse design, import the data, develop automated processes, support deployment of the SQL database and develop a TM detailing the data sources, outputs, and dependencies to ensure data transparency and facilitate future maintenance.
5.1.1 Initial Data Import & Process Selection
• Data classification, import, and processing: Analyze data sources and develop processes to facilitate efficient initial data import and future updates. Selection between manual or automated processes is based on data availability and source update frequency
5.1.2 Data Warehouse Design & Development
• Design SQL database schema for an enterprise SQL database to store agency and SBVMWD supply and demand related data for use in the RUWMP and ongoing needs. This warehouse will serve as the foundation for the RUWMP and future tools.
5.1.3 Process Geospatial Data
• Develop an ESRI file geodatabase containing processed feature layer that share common keys with the SQL database where appropriate
5.1.4 Develop Data Processes
• Develop data validation automation processes
• Develop demand model processes
• Build report tables & export process
5.1.5 SQL Database Deployment
• Collaborate with SBVMWD Information Technology staff to deploy the SQL database within SBVMWD's environment.
• Configure Python scripts to run at set intervals for ongoing automation.
5.1.6 Process Updates and Maintenance
• Implement an ongoing browser-based data download process that adapts to changes in the third-party agency's web page HTML code.
• Perform maintenance if significant changes occur to the agency's website design.
5.1.7 Data Management Documentation
• Create comprehensive documentation detailing the data sources, outputs, and dependencies to ensure data transparency and facilitate future maintenance.
95 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update
12/10/2024
Task 5. Assumptions
• Basic historic data, including but not limited to supply and demand data will, by default, be imported from State and other external sources. If an agency wishes to supplement State data, a one-time import will be conducted of supplemental data for this RUWMP. Optional customized update processes can be developed to streamline the import and update of this data with agency-provided data if desired. If supplemental data is used, it must be provided in an electronic tabular format that is easily reproducible by the agency to facilitate future updates.
• Any optional and required agency data will be provided in an electronic tabular format that is easily reproducible by the agency to facilitate future updates of both the SQL database and the Excel Supply & Demand tool deliverable.
• The SQL database will be created using Microsoft SQL Server 2022. Alternatives can be explored.
• The SQL database will be deployed onto SBVMWD's enterprise SQL server; alternatively, a SQL Express server can be configured on an SBVMWD-supplied computer. • SBVMWD has a process for scheduling Python scripts. Windows Task Scheduler can be used on an SBVMWD-supplied computer.
• SBVMWD will allow the installation of a Python 3.11 interpreter and required Python libraries. • For the continued import of URWS conservation supply & demand data, SBVMWD will allow the Python script to manage the Chrome driver on the computer where the Python interpreter is installed.
• All updated 3rd party data will continue to be provided by the 3rd party sources. • SBVMWD maintains an ESRI license and has staff that is familiar with file geodatabases. • SBVMWD IT staff will be available to provide necessary access and support for deployment and integration with existing systems.
• SBVMWD staff will maintain the SBVMWD provided process computer.
5.2 Optional Task: Regional Water Management Dashboard Development An additional data development and management option is the development of a Regional Water Management Dashboard. This would include developing an ESRI Online dashboard with a regional and agency level summary of historic and projected supply and demand that agencies can engage with in a user-friendly format. WSC would collaborate with the agencies to develop a Dashboard design, import the data from the Regional Data Warehouse, develop automated processes to keep the data updated, and support deployment of the Dashboard.
Dashboard Development
• Summary Dashboard Layout Development: Develop ESRI dashboard that provides one regional summary supply and demand layout.
96 Revised Scope of Work
Revised Proposal for the 2025 RUWMP Update

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 Treatmen t 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, additio nal 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.
124
13 The overall pumping strategy is based on adjudicated rights, well availability, remediation requirements, and quality of source, cost to operate, and varying weather conditions. TDS effluent concentr ations for the City of Rialto WWTP are taken into consideration when operating the facilities and water sources.
A. Operational Wells
City Well 2 was out of service partial month due to motor issues.
B. Valve Activity
On the basis of information collected in 2019, Veolia now has a baseline assessment of all valves and has initiated a new cycle of valve exercising . 80 valves were exercised for the month of January.
